Like what!? Canceled. Was cute tho. Bye. 🩷 ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2024-06-06, version 2.2.0* More of an app for adverts than anything thing else. I tried this app and every time I pressed a button an advert popped up, and then every time I made a change to the cake another advert. I don’t mind adverts, obviously, it keeps the apps free but they surely have to be in moderation, I ended up watching more adverts than actually using the app. Deleted it in the end. ### 1/5 — Arnaque voleur *2024-05-17, version 2.2.0* Ne prenez pas cette application c est une arnaque prévenu Apple ### 2/5 — I like it very much, but… *2024-04-06, version 2.1.1* The problem is that there’s too many ads and the person that receives it has to click 0n all these X’s and that doesn’t make a very good birthday card. Ads are very annoying! So I can’t use it then. ### 1/5 — To many adds *2024-04-03, version 2.1.1* Not very clear. Few choices. ### 4/5 — Опция *2023-06-11, version 1.16* Похоже подарок сможет открыть пользователь, у которого установлено приложение, тк ссылка не позволяет открыть в web версии Или я что-то делаю не корректно? ### 2/5 — Don’t waste your time *2023-04-26, version 1.16* I just tried to send my daughter a Birthday message but I decided to check it out before I sent it. It turns out that she would have to install the app in order to see it. The selection of options is very limited too. This may be helpful to some people but it’s not for me. Oh and the advertising! ### 5/5 — 너무 좋아요 강추 *2023-02-16, version 1.16* 케이크는 다 먹어버려서 초 불게 없어서 앱들을 찾아봤는데 다 별로더라구요 그래서 이 앱 깔았는데 브금 변경도 가능하고 초,케이크도 내 마음대로 변경 가능해서 좋았어요!! 이런 앱 만들어주셔서 감사합니다🥹 ### 5/5 — I like the animations. *2023-01-14, version 1.16* I like the animations of blowing out the candles and the balloons. ### 5/5 — So awesome *2022-12-02, version 1.16* I wanted to send my sister a special message for her birthday and this was just amazingly cool. You can actually blow out the candle!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No ad filter *2026-08-23, version 2.3.1* The app could’ve been good, but I had no clue because the ad showing at the bottom was definitely 18+ related and was trying to use for a child. I understand having to use ads and free app but graphic images we’re very inappropriate ### 1/5 — Add comes up during the process *2026-08-18, version 2.3.1* Full screen add that is completely annoying defeats the purpose of the app. Covers the whole cake and candles when you’re “lighting” them. ### 1/5 — Record voice *2025-05-03, version 2.3.1* The sound recording system is very poor and ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Just a bunch of ads *2025-03-23, version 2.3.1* This is just ads. Useless app ### 1/5 — Ad? Really? *2024-12-13, version 2.3.1* Don’t like how you have to have your kid, in the hospital so you can’t have candles, watch a freakin ad to blow out candles ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-09-28, version 2.2.0* No way to send it with voice recording. Doesn’t show up in iMessage. Was only able to send an image. Interrupted by ads every 10 seconds. ### 1/5 — Hard to follow; *2024-09-05, version 2.2.0* Too many ads; hard to follow; no way of sending image/freeting. ### 1/5 — Werbe-Müll *2024-08-20, version 2.2.0* Aggressive Werbung, Funktionen nicht der Rede Wert. Alle paar Sekunden startet ja eine neue niveaulose Werbung… ### 1/5 — To many adds *2024-08-14, version 2.2.0* Could not use this for even one birthday due to the continual adds ### 1/5 — It sent only as a photo Still not working *2024-06-26, version 2.2.0* It will not let me send out except as a photo ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nicolas Ward *2025-12-22, version 2.3.1* April 25th 2013 ### 5/5 — Birthday cake *2024-12-06, version 2.3.1* So much fun.
