Countdown Me: Event Widgets

Birthday & Holiday Countdowns

Features & Capabilities

Count the remaining days to events right on your home/lock screen using widgets or on the app icon badge. Select events from the calendar, or create events in the app.

Create an event or select one from your calendar and track the remaining days on your home screen (or on your lockscreen on latest iOS) using widgets, or on the app icon’s badge. See the remaining days (minutes, seconds) without even opening the app.

Countdown Me lets you

  • see a list of your countdowns without opening the app on your lockscreen (new on iOS 16), on your homescreen using widgets.
  • see the remaining days to your most important event without opening the app on the app icon’s badge.
  • create a new countdown quickly by selecting an existing event from your calendar or create a new event in the app
  • create an alert for an upcoming event.
  • see detailed countdowns: not only days, but also hours, minutes and seconds. You can enable this inside the app in Settings.
  • share countdowns with your friends & family

Notes:

We use Apple PUSH Notification technology for updating the app icon’s badge number. In other words, for the feature to work, you should connect to the internet regularly. This is a limitation imposed by Apple — there is no other usable way of changing the badge number. The rest of the app’s functionality works also without internet connection.

User Reviews

Users praise Countdown Me for its simple, intuitive UI and the standout badge countdown on the home screen, plus the ability to track multiple events and calendar integration. However, repeated reliability issues appear around the badge not updating correctly, and bugs introduced by updates affecting multiple countdowns or widgets. There are requests for broader device/OS support (iPhone 5, iPad compatibility, and iOS 11 readiness). Overall, the app remains popular with long-term users who value ease of use and visual appeal, but ongoing maintenance and compatibility gaps are frequently noted.
Pros
  • Easy to use with a simple, well-designed UI/UX.
  • Badge countdown on the home screen shows the actual days remaining.
  • Supports multiple countdowns inside the app for different occasions.
  • Calendar integration helps sync events.
  • Long-standing, trusted app used by many users over the years.
Cons
  • Badge countdown updates are unreliable: days can be incorrect and the icon often stops updating.
  • Compatibility limitations for older devices/OS: requests for iPhone 5 support, iPad version, and iOS 11 readiness.
  • Update-related bugs affecting multiple countdowns or widgets (regressions after updates).

Dears :( After your last update, 2.5.1 I lost managing making multiple widgets countdowns for different occasions 😭😭😭 Now, all widgets for ONE occasion only, which is the one I selected to be the default one :/ Please fix this issue ☹️ I’ve been using this app since it got launched 🥺

Still using this app daily. I hope that you can keep this one going through many years of updates.
