Version 5.29.0iOS
A bigger widget for iOS 27, and alerts that stay put
Event Countdown 5.29.0 is ready for iOS 27. The Upcoming Events widget, formerly Next 4 Events, comes in the new extra-large size and shows up to eight events, and alerts now stay in your notification list until you dismiss them.
Ready for iOS 27, with a bigger widget and alerts you won't miss.
New
- Upcoming Events, now extra large: the widget that used to be called Next 4 Events comes in iOS 27's new extra-large size and shows up to eight events. It works at extra large on iPad too.
- Unseen alerts on the app icon: the icon shows how many alerts have arrived since you last opened the app.
- Help on the sign in screen: if you can't get into your account, a help button leads to help articles, support, and a diagnostic report you can send us.
Fixed
- Alerts now stay in your notification list until you dismiss them. Opening the app used to clear them, so an alert could look as though it never arrived.
- All-day events get their alerts at your all-day alert time, on the right day, wherever you are in the world. Before, the alert for the day itself could arrive the evening before.
- All-day events sit on the correct day in your list and in iPhone search.
- Premium purchases that had lost touch with your account now reconnect on their own.
- A couple of iOS 27 visual fixes, including the All Events title at the top of your list and the close button in Settings.
The Upcoming Events widget is part of Premium.
Thank you to everyone who wrote in about alerts and all-day events, your reports led straight to these fixes.
