Lost everything

Lost everything with iOS 26

Response from developer

Yes, the iOS 26 update breaks the app’s iCloud Sync functionality and blocks access to the data. Contact technical support or visit the support website for recovery instructions.

Great App, but

Please can the developer’s allow us to choose on own reminder time for the daily reminder. 9am is just to late for some wishes . Otherwise it’s a great app

Works great

I have my birthdays on my calendar, but this app puts them more at my fingertips. I really like it

Removed all of my data under version 5.0

What happened?

Response from developer

if you are certain that an iOS update is the cause of the problem then you should be contacting apple it is more likely, however, that your problem is due to an iCloud setting being changed as part of this update but we can only help if you actually contact tech support which has been repeatedly offered to you

Update needed

Update is urgently needed for iOS 17 as contact data is not syncing.Please update the app then 5 stars.

Response from developer

There are no known compatibility issues with iOS 17 at this time. If you are having problems with iCloud sync, or any other functionality, you should contact technical support.

Great app

Never forget a birthday now

B/days

Best reminder 5 *

Great.

Great, easy and efficient app. 2 questions/suggestions:

- I want to set the notification time. Currently the default is 09h.
- can I import my birthday calendar from Facebook?

This app has saved my life. Too many kids, grand kids, friends (aren’t I lucky?) to remember and my anxiety level has gone down knowing I get a nudge!!!

Just about perfect!

By far the best birthday (etc.) app for iPhone that I’ve found! Very happy that it lets you leave the year of birth blank if you don’t know it.

One bad feature is not being able to scroll backwards. To go on 364 days to see who you missed yesterday is a pain. Otherwise good.

pretty good, missing widget option and custom reminder length

awesome app, love the ability to view all the upcoming birthdays and not have any annoying in app purchase options/upgrades. would love to be able to customize the number of days before the bday for the alert - rn it’s only day of/1 day/2 days/1 week/2 weeks. ideally i would like a 4/5 day reminder because that’s just enough time to get their address and a card. but not a deal breaker :)
also, could reaaaaaally use a widget for this!!!!! a nice upcoming birthdays view on a home screen would be awesome.

A Home Screen widget is coming… until then you still have the today-view widget for showing current-day events.

I am updating a review that I made this past week. My review was one star due to the fact that all info was deleted after the ios15 update.
I would like to commend the developer Christopher King on his concern and many attempts helping me to find the cause and then to correct the problem. Although the glitch wasn’t reversed the developer spent a lot of time in attempting to finding a solution. To me this shows a quality product and a responsible developer.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear about the trouble but the iOS update should not impact your birthday boss data unless you change or logout of the iCloud account that you were using as part of it. After updates it can also take a while before the data appears according to other reports from previous updates. Please check the app again and contact technical support if there is still an issue and we’ll be happy to assist.

Excellent App - A Rare Find

Good birthday reminder apps are almost impossible to find. Most other birthday applications haven’t been updated in years. This one has almost every feature I could want. I do wish it would sync with Dropbox instead of just iCloud, so I could keep my wife’s devices in sync with mine. Thanks to the developer for keeping this excellent app alive and up to date. I love it.

Love the app!

Great for reminders! Just wish when you printed for a backup you could get the year the events started and the groups that they are in.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! Try the new Data Export functionality from the settings screen for backups; it will include all of your event data.

Birthday Boss

I have used this app for years and it gets better with each update. I never miss a birthday or anniversary.

Works great

I have my birthdays on my calendar, but this app puts them more at my fingertips. I really like it

Excellent

Great app. Clean and easy to use.

Only suggestion I might offer is would be nice to actually see the name of the birthday’er in the calendar date square when viewing data there. That way can scroll to other months and easily see who’s coming up right there.

Still a 5 Star app for sure! (Thanks Devs!)

Thanks for the feedback; we’ll investigate and see what can be done.

Great app, simple to use

keeps track of birthdays, anniversaries and death anniversaries and is a great notification system. Also the notes section is good to have

Just what I was looking for!

For years I have used a product called Einstime on my PC. It gave me calendar entries that included the ages of the birthday person I had added. It also had entries for wedding anniversaries and death anniversaries, again with elapsed time since. I was searching the App Store for something similar and have now discovered it! Birthday Boss is truly THE BOSS! Thanks!!!
