The widget shows the wrong number

iOS refreshes widgets on its own schedule. The count changes at midnight. If a widget lags behind, open the app once and it reschedules the display.

I cannot find the widgets

Every shape is its own entry in the iOS gallery. Long-press an empty spot on the Home Screen, then Edit, Add Widget, and search for Countdown VI. For the Lock Screen, long-press the Lock Screen, then Customize.

I am not getting notifications

Check that notifications are allowed in Settings, Countdown VI. A test button sits in the app, under Check: it sends one within ten seconds.
