Thanks for all your feedback — this update brings back the classic timer look: * Classic timer by default — lighter, thinner numbers and a clean, compact panel, with more of your wallpaper showing through again * Your timer, your way — choose Light or Regular digits and a Glass, Frosted, or Solid background (Settings → Timer Options) * More reliable — fixes for crashes on launch, widget improvements, and better support for older iOS versions Thank you for using Countdown Star!
