Works just fine for what I needed

I just wanted to replace a paper one that I had that was similar. Just something I can check in on each month, works great for that.

Awful and LONG ads

This seemed like a decent app... until I took the time to add a bunch of data. Now the advertising is taking over with long and multiple ads to play through before I can access my data. Some rather inappropriate ads if kids are on your device too. Not worth it. Saved info from it and deleted.

Please stop the ads

This app is great and I love it. It was just what I was looking for :) however, there are two things that really bug me. One, there are ads every single time you open it. And ads also pop up at random times and are unpredictable. I would rate this five stars if there were no ads. Second, in the birthdays, it shows your astrological sign but no your chinese sign. I would really love it if you could show both 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for the great app!

Won’t work

I got everything input and the interface was user friendly and everything looked great!! But not it won’t open. It flashes up on the screen but then instantaneously shuts down. Restarting the phone doesn’t help. All that data entry and now it’s useless. 2 stars instead of one because the app itself was great... I’m so bummed it’s not working.

Too many ads

I am extremely annoyed with this app that if I want to pop in to add a birthday to check someone’s I already have entered, it immediately makes you watch ads. Not only that but I, also, noticed it had changed birthdays by one day. And I do not get notifications when it is someone’s birthday. I get this is a free app but it is a bit ridiculous the length of the ads.

No notifications and too many ads

I spent ages inputting my calendar of birthdays, and even though notifications are turned on, I’ve had nothing! Zero alerts=useless. And when I open it to manually check I get served two long ads that I can’t exit until completely played, and a few clicks results in another 1min ad. Not worth it

Too many bugs

I started entering birthdays manually then saw the ability to download the birthdays in my contacts. I only had a few in there - So - I actually started adding birthdays to my contacts first and then “synced” them with the app by pulling the contact info. Like previous reviewers stated, it added a day. WTH. My friend’s birthday is May 32nd??? Anything over 31 shouldn’t even be in there as an option in a calendar type app. I’m not going back to fix each one. Also the ads were too much. I deleted the app.

Color changes of pictures

I really like the Birthday Board. It is great for tracking family and friends birthdays. But for some reason the month of May puts a green hue on pictures at the end of the month. I tried deleting and re-entering but that did nothing. Tried entering fictitious event in another month and no green hue. How do I fix this?

Literally always a day late

When you import your contacts in, it doesn’t give you their birthday that you have in their contact card. The app adds a day and they tell you their birthday is the day after their birthday. Which makes it pointless unless I want to correct every single one and at that point, might as well just enter em all in my google calendar. Been hanging on for years to see if they finally fix this problem. But. Nope. They can’t make their own app work apparently. I don’t see anywhere in the description “do you like telling someone happy birthday the day after their birthday, so it looks like you forgot? Do you enjoy brining a cake to work to celebrate a coworkers birthday, but be a day late, so again it looks like you forgot? Well this app is for you!”

Import bug

Love the concept, was hoping to import Facebook contacts but understand Facebook won’t allow it. Was going to set it all up manually until I noticed my phone contacts’ birthdays all imported as the day after their actual birthdays. For example, if a person’s birthday was March 5, it imported March 6.

Best birthday reminder ever!

I have downloaded many of these apps trying to find the best one. This reminds you a couple days before hand and that is what I wanted. Keeping this app forever don’t get rid of it!!

Beautifully Simple!

I love the design and how the information is stored!
Glancing at your entire birthday year is pleasurable to the eye!
The only improvement I would recommend or request is a place for notes and or birth time.
Thank you birthday board!

Meh

Just ok... if you remember to check it. It doesn’t send my alerts, the set up is kind of weird. There are no countdowns or reminders (even when you have it set to remind you ahead of time) and you cannot individualize reminders and the reminder sounds are strange (not that Reminders work anyways, and yes I have allowed push notifications in my settings). It takes forever to set up each individually and using the “from your contacts” not only lets them have all your contacts info, it’s a disaster and doesn’t work so you have to add each birthday manually. I’ve had it for years and it’s I mostly forget it’s even there. There’s been no updates in over 3 years. You might as well just set your phone to show birthdays in your calendar.

UPDATE: DO NOT TRY TO ADD A SECOND BOARD! IT’LL DELETE YOUR ORIGINAL BOARD. DELETING.

No more sad Grands

Being the loving but forgetful grandmother of 18 grandchildren, I am so appreciative of the Birthday Board app. Not only do I now know that there is a birthday coming up, I also know in plenty of time, WHOSE birthday it is. Now I can get a gift bought and wrapped or a card in the mail. So who gets the, “MOST AWESOME GRANDMA” award! This girl, that’s who. Thank you Birthday Board.

The day after? Really??

I could not figure out why all my reminders were coming the day before and the day after everyone’s birthday. Figured it out today. This app added a day to all of them! If a birthday fell on 15th it put it in as 16th. It did this to all 24 of my entries! I know when my birthday is and it was even wrong. There is no chance in hell I put in all 24 birthdays one day later. Will be looking for a new more reliable app.

Having issues

I’ve used this on my iPad for several years and love it. A couple years ago decided to download it on my phone. Instead of individually adding every birthday I saw the option to 'share' for 1.99. So paid and the names were partially transferred. Only available if I chose the menu and chose 'countdown'. Lately, the app has crashed on my phone and my only option was to delete...so of course when I reinstalled it, it was brand fresh new. I chose 'sync' and they wanted me to pay 1.99 again. Finally found where to sign in and I kept getting 'forbidden access'. Not sure if it’s because I used a wrong password or what?!? What can I do (short of entering each one individually?)to get my information transferred to my phone app?

Great

I have used Birthday Board now for over a year. In fact probably longer than that. I have had no problems or glitches. All information transferred to my new phone and etc. with no problem. I get reminders regularly for upcoming birthdays. I really enjoy it.

Great Birthday Tracker

I really love this app! It makes keeping up with everyone’s birthday so much easier. I also love the visual graphics. I’ve had no issues with this app and highly recommend it. Although it would be nice if you could also track anniversaries, deaths, etc. by being able to select what type of event it is—as another user suggested. Otherwise, it’s a great app!!

Love this app

I love this app for organizing birthdays and anniversaries. It's visually appealing and user friendly. I took off a point because when I uploaded birthdays from my contacts they were all one day off and I had to change them all manually. I would also love to be able to organize my boards in a different order than the order I created them. But overall this is the best birthday tracker app I have found.

Won’t Sync

I just bought this app and love the simplicity of it...I just want a quick look to see what birthdays are approaching and get a notification. I upgraded so I could sync it,, but it won’t let me.
I initially put the app on my iPad, but I can’t get it to my iPhone. I keep getting a weird error message. I also can’t share the dates to anyone else, but the info says it can do family share. I hope this can be fixed or I ill be looking for a better app.
