I delete the countdown display by icon badge from version 2.4. I changed the notification center to notify the countdown. --------------------------------------------- The remaining days of the event which is registered in the list, is counted down with the message to Notification Cente. And "lapse of days" is useful, too. - You can confirm "days remaining" or "lapse of days" on the list. - It posts to Notification Center that countdown ends. When an application is activated, the following countdown is begun. - Countdown of 60 days or more in order to continue to display the badge posts to Notification Center 60 days. - Days from today it is inspected simply in the event edit view. - It can delete the list with the flick.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DayRemain at 4.7 against Nested List's 3.0. DayRemain also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). Nested List's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DayRemain holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of DayRemain's written reviews are positive against 71% of Nested List's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DayRemain ships an update every 4 months, Nested List every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
