Countdown Star (Ad-Free)

This update is a small one — a couple of fixes, and support for iOS 27. * Tapping to retry iCloud no longer closes the app when an Apple Watch is paired * Your own photos no longer flash a different wallpaper while they load * Countdown Star is now updated for iOS 27 Thank you for using Countdown Star!

This update is about starting up reliably — especially if you have a large collection of events and wallpapers. * Countdown Star now starts more reliably. You may briefly see a loading screen while your events open * When your events sync for the first time, the app now tells you how many have arrived so far, instead of looking empty while it syncs Thank you for using Countdown Star!

This update is about knowing whether your events have really made it to iCloud. * The sync status is now more accurate. It only says "Synced with iCloud" once your events have actually reached it * Editing while offline shows "Saved on this device" — your change is safe, and it uploads as soon as you're back online * If Countdown Star is switched off in your iCloud settings, the app now says so and explains how to turn it back on. Your events are still in iCloud and come back when it can sync again * No more "Sync error" when you simply aren't signed in to iCloud * Your Apple Watch no longer shows out-of-date events after changes sync from another device * Choosing a photo that isn't downloaded to your device now tells you, instead of quietly doing nothing If your events look missing, open Settings › Apple Account › iCloud and check that Countdown Star is turned on. Thank you for using Countdown Star!

This update is about keeping your events safe — and getting them back if they went missing. * Fixed the cause of events disappearing after an update. When the app has trouble opening your library, it now tries every safe option instead of setting your data aside * New: Recover My Events, in Settings, brings your events and photos back from a saved copy on your device * If a saved copy is found, the app now offers to restore it when you open the app * Restoring adds your events back alongside anything you've created since, and never deletes the saved copy If your events went missing in an earlier version, try Recover My Events first — in most cases they're still on your device. Thank you for using Countdown Star!

More stability work — this time focused on syncing between devices: * Fixed a crash that could happen when you saved an event that had just been deleted on another device * Fixed a remaining crash that could close a countdown shortly after syncing from iCloud * Countdowns settle more reliably when changes arrive from another device while you're using the app * Translation fixes in several languages Thank you for using Countdown Star!
