# Reach vs Countdown Widget

The clearest difference is update cadence: Reach at every 4 days against Countdown Widget's every 9 days. Reach also leads on ratings volume (108 vs 14) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reach sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Countdown Widget sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Reach against 4.7 for Countdown Widget. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reach has 108 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 96% of Reach's written reviews are positive against 100% of Countdown Widget's.

Reach ships an update every 4 days, Countdown Widget every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
