Has everything I need but could use a few things. I would like to be able to add like my children to it and they be able to do a list of gift wishes. ### 5/5 — Birthday *2025-12-09, version 1.8.4* Good app for birthdays ### 5/5 — ITS WITTERWALY PERFECT *2025-12-08, version 1.8.4* Now I’m able to say congrajuladhons without ever forgetting ### 5/5 — Happy birthday *2025-12-06, version 1.8.4* Happy birthday ### 5/5 — Love this *2025-11-26, version 1.8.4* I really love how easily it imports all my contacts and the countdown widget is awesome for knowing exactly how many days are left. And the gift suggestions are a lifesaver! ### 5/5 — Birthday countdown *2025-11-12, version 1.8.2* I like it it’s a pretty cool app to have bc now i know when mine and my sister birthdays are coming ### 5/5 — Dneive *2025-11-11, version 1.8.2* 11 ### 5/5 — Hello I love this app although.. *2025-10-21, version 1.8.2* There is a bug that at the beginning it won't let me change my birthday so I had to ad my own birthday but other than that THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS APP I LOVE YOU ❤️ ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-09-01, version 1.7.1* This amazing app helps me a lot when I have to keep track of people’s birthdays ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Idk yet… *2026-06-10, version 1.13.3* I think I would like this app but it’s not letting me do anything because I don’t want to do the premium free trial ### 1/5 — Pay *2026-05-28, version 1.13.3* Payment to use once a year for my birthday is crazy ### 2/5 — Not the best *2026-03-28, version 1.13.0* It says for my friend birthday is a Virgo but is a Leo she is born on Aug 22 so yeah ### 3/5 — It is so good but I hardly use it *2026-03-16, version 1.12.0* I like it but there’s nothing hardly there ### 4/5 — Birthday Countdown: CandlesUp *2026-05-04, version 1.13.2* CandlesUp is for you if you actually care about making birthdays an event rather than just a notification you swipe away. If you just want a list of dates, your phone’s built-in calendar is fine. But if you want the "vibes"—the AI messages, the digital candle, and the sleek countdown—it’s the best in its class. ### 4/5 — Birthday *2026-02-25, version 1.12.0* I wish I could see all the birthdays I put in ### 4/5 — My rating *2025-12-17, version 1.10.0* I like it, but I do not like how so many things are premium like I would like to be able to set a minimum of five notifications per birthday. And see stuff like my zodiac sign, etc. I do appreciate the app, but wish you could also save gift ideas to each person and it could use AI to type out a text that you could send that person on their birthday. ### 4/5 — Love *2025-09-27, version 1.8.2* Love ### 4/5 — Contacts access *2025-05-19, version 1.2.0* Add a function to include the phone number from my contacts instead of adding it manually ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-21, version 1.13.3* This app is very nice. It helps me keep track of all of my friends birthdays. The only problem is it is constantly trying to get you to pay but overall a nice app. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-06-15, version 1.13.3* I rate this a 10/10 ### 5/5 — Bug but good *2026-05-23, version 1.13.3* There is a bug and it won’t let me do anything on the app because it wants me to purchase premium and I can get out of the premium page even thought I have had this app for months. Aside from that 5 stars ### 5/5 — Used for 3 years… *2026-05-18, version 1.13.2* Used for 3 years. Never let me down. Amazing work. No complaints ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-05-18, version 1.13.2* This app is amazing I never remember peoples birthdays so absolutely amazing app ### 5/5 — I’ll never forget *2026-05-11, version 1.13.2* I’ve been using Birthday Countdown: CandlesUp for the last couple weeks mainly to keep track of family birthdays, and it’s been more useful than I expected. I like that I could import contacts quickly and set reminders a few days ahead instead of only on the actual date. The countdown view is oddly satisfying, and the widget has been helpful since I tend to forget dates unless they’re right in front of me. I also appreciate that the app feels lightweight and not overloaded with unnecessary stuff. ### 5/5 — Amazinggg *2026-05-10, version 1.13.2* Helps me keep track of everything ### 5/5 — Snickering *2026-04-26, version 1.13.2* Decent ### 5/5 — Thank you guys *2026-04-22, version 1.13.2* Your app is amazing because I am able to know how long I have to wait till my birthday ### 5/5 — My review *2026-03-07, version 1.12.0* I like the app and what they did with it. I really like how it goes to the last second on your birthday, I think that’s really impressive. I am kind of bumped that you can’t see other peoples birthday time tell the second just like my birthday. Also I love how it shows you your zodiac sign. Overall I really enjoying this app and will be telling all my friends about this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
