A widget can lag because iOS schedules refreshes or because its selected reminder was changed, trashed, or deleted.

Checks to make

  1. Open diReminder and verify the source item.
  2. Wait briefly after saving it.
  3. Edit the widget and reselect the intended countdown.
  4. Remove and add the widget again if necessary.
  5. Restart the device if multiple widgets are affected.

What the result tells you

  • A widget is not an independent copy of the reminder.
  • Low Power Mode and system resource scheduling can reduce refresh frequency.

Before trying again

  • Keep the app and iOS current.
  • Do not use the widget as the only time-critical alert.
