The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate and the feature to import birthdays from your phone contacts is so useful. Do yourself a favor and download! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 3/5 — Widget *2024-09-21, version 1.4.0* Text on widget interface (all) is too close to the border ### 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. ### 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! ### 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 ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So much better then everything else *2024-08-29, version 1.2.0* The way you can link and import contacts is a game changer. So easy to message them right from inside the app. Plus with the push notifications never have to worry about forgetting to check the app. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Useful! *2024-08-23* Simple clean app that will let me stay on top of birthday reminders --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
