Exam Countdown - School & Uni — version history

iOS 27 Ready! A bigger widget, and a round of fixes for the Home Screen. • New: the Upcoming Exams widget, formerly Next 4 Exams, now comes in an extra-large size that shows up to eight exams at once. Find it on iPad, and on iPhone with iOS 27. Widgets already on your Home Screen keep working. • Exam alerts now stay in Notification Centre until you clear them. Opening the app used to remove them, so it could look as though they never arrived. • A new Enable Alerts switch in Settings lets you turn exam alerts on at any time, even if you skipped them when you first set up the app. • Widgets could show as a blank white rectangle when the Home Screen was set to Clear or Tinted. They now follow whichever look you have chosen, and the Live Countdown widget keeps its icon artwork. • An exam someone shared with you can no longer be edited by accident. Only the person who created it can make changes. • On iOS 27, close buttons show an X again instead of a square, and the category title at the top of your exam list stays readable. • Filtering by a category with nothing in it now offers "Show All Exams", in every language. Thank you to everyone who wrote in about the blank widgets. That is how this one was found.

Exam Countdown has been completely redesigned, every screen rebuilt for iOS 26. New Calendar View shows the term ahead at a glance. Three new widgets, including a live countdown that ticks every second. Your next exam on the Lock Screen. And a new date picker, so you can choose dates by wheel or calendar. Plus improved search, clearer alerts, a smoother sign-in, notifications fixes and shared exam fixes.
