### 5/5 — Birthdays

*2025-08-12, version 2.0.0*

A great app. Well designed. Easy to learn how to use it. Also any questions the developer is quick to answer.

### 5/5 — Only One Word

*2024-10-13, version 1.5.2*

Excellent

### 5/5 — A Cracking Good App says Mike

*2024-09-23, version 1.5.0*

Initially I had issues with the app not finding all my contacts.
However, I thought I would try contacting the developer…… not only was I amazed in how quick came the response but it was followed with several helpful other messages culminating in an update to the app which cured my problem.
I commend the author for their help and wish him well with this App.
Definitely a 5 Star App.

### 5/5 — The best birthday reminder application

*2024-09-22*

I have seen few birthday applications but this application is awesome it’s wonderful. I’ll highly recommend to download this application

### 5/5 — Birthdays

*2024-09-21, version 1.4.0*

I just installed this app on 9-19-24 so haven't had time to really like or dislike but I will say when I've submitted a message I received quick response each time. That alone is a plus.

### 3/5 — Widget

*2024-09-21, version 1.4.0*

Text on widget interface (all) is too close to the border

### 5/5 — Useful Apps. Recommend it👍👌

*2024-09-20, version 1.4.0*

Very simple interface and easy to use. Worth it to buy it.

### 5/5 — Great app + pro tip (read)

*2024-09-19, version 1.4.0*

Excellent! Liked it right out of the box, and seemed to do everything but one thing: allow customized notifications. Example: you want a week notice for family (to buy gifts) but only day for friends just to send greetings. Dev told me the solution: create “groups” and (multiple) custom notifications are yours! Awesome! Recommended!

### 1/5 — Hoax

*2024-09-19*

Via Apps Gone Free-today only get  lifetime subscription for free. Free for only one week or so. Disappointed! Deleted from my iPhone.

**Developer response:** Sorry to read this, sounds like something got mixed up. Lifetime was free for a short time - sounds like you ended up on the annual free trial instead. Please reach out to support@shayesapps.com and I’ll get you squared away

### 5/5 — Nice

*2024-09-19*

But unable to see/use the widgets on iOS 18

**Developer response:** Please try restarting your phone - this will usually resolve any weird issues like that. Otherwise please reach out to support@shayesapps.com so I can help you further
