The FAQ said to update the app, but there was no option to update. after I imported select contacts, I couldn’t see a way to import additional contacts, unless I deleted the app. ### 2/5 — Troppi bug!!! *2025-12-02, version 1.14* Ho acquistato la versione completa ormai tempo fa, ma da quando ho aggiornato ad iOS 26 il widget non funziona con le icone Liquid Glass e non arrivano più le notifiche! In pratica un’app inutile se non la si apre giorno per giorno per controllare i compleanni. In più non sono riuscita a trovare un contatto per l’assistenza. Spero risolviate quanto prima! ### 3/5 — It still changes the birthday day *2025-09-26* Some dates keeps changing automatically to one day before ### 2/5 — Widget Problem *2025-09-19, version 1.11* Whenever you add the app’s widget it does not show details. Blank icon is appearing. It should be fixed. ### 2/5 — Widget non funziona più con iOS 26 *2025-09-18, version 1.11* Dopo aver aggiornato l’app il widget ha smesso di funzionare su iOS 26 e iPadOS 26 ### 4/5 — Lock screen widget *2025-09-17* Lock screen widget don't work! Updates and restart not fix it ### 1/5 — Imports birthdays with wrong dates *2025-01-03, version 1.9.4* Spent $10 to unlock the full app only for it to import all of my contacts birthdays as a day before their actual birthday. This seems like a glaring bug that urgently needs to be fixed. Just had to spend an hour updating them all by hand and feels like a huge waste of money. ### 1/5 — Pésima *2024-12-17, version 1.9.4* Es una pésima app, si escribes 3/4/2000 , te cambia los días y adelanta las fechas. Pésima no comprar ### 1/5 — Imported every date 1 day early?? *2024-12-15, version 1.9.4* Wanted to love this app, but it imported every single birthday from my contacts *1 day early* - so every single birthday came in incorrectly. I’ll contact the team to see what’s up with that, but clearly a problem for a birthday app! ### 1/5 — Solo deja guardar 7 contactos *2024-11-13, version 1.9.3* Entonces no le veo sentido si no se pueden guardar más. Me gustaba pero me Decepcionó que solo fueran 7… ### 3/5 — La fecha es incorrecta *2024-10-11, version 1.9.2* Continúa con el error al guardar una nueva fecha de cumpleaños se pone por error la fecha un día antes, por ejemplo si agrego 13/11 se pone 12/11 😕 ### 4/5 — Waiting for the dark icon for ios18 *2024-10-10, version 1.9.1* I’ve been using this app for years now and I couldn’t live without it! I could give it 5 stars if they finally implemented the dark mode icon for iOS. With iOS 18 most third-party apps have given us dark mode icons now and this is the only app that still shows a “light” version of the icon, which is sooo frustrating when you open the Home Screen or get a notification on your Lock Screen. Waiting for them to fix this little bug, in the meantime I’m giving it 4 stars. ### 4/5 — Bello ma perfettibile *2024-10-06, version 1.9.1* Ben fatto e funziona bene, manca la possibilità di personalizzare maggiormente il widget, magari il colore di sfondo, più grandezze, il tipo di visualizzazione dei compleanni ### 3/5 — Paid subscription has ads?? *2024-10-05, version 1.9.1* I like this app, but ads are creeping in at the beginning and it’s so annoying. You have to wait for the tiny cross to appear in the top right corner. What is happening these days with paid subscriptions and advertising? If this keeps going, I’ll cancel the subscription and go and buy a paper birthday planner, which at least can’t be infiltrated with ads! It would also be useful in an app like this to have the choice to log the anniversary of a death as well. The passing of someone can be just as meaningful to loved ones as birthdays. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Shows wrong dates *2026-08-02* The app shows all birthdays dates 1 day before it is supposed to be. The app has only 1 purpose and fails badly. ### 1/5 — Longtime not updated *2026-07-20, version 1.14* This app not updating long time and not optimized for iOS 26 glass transparent theme ### 1/5 — Imported dates are a day off *2026-04-05, version 1.14* Issue has been going on for too long and this needs to be fixed. ### 1/5 — Dates are a day ahead *2026-03-06, version 1.14* Downloaded app and bought lifetime plan. All imported contact birthdays are a day ahead. Have reinstalled multiple times. FAQ says to update app but I have the most recent version downloaded (1.14). Emailed support about this issue, but might just have apple refund my money. ### 1/5 — I cant send templates. *2025-12-04, version 1.14* After the update, templates can't be sent as messages. I emailed them about this, but they haven't responded. Currently, I can only see birthdays in the app; I can't send congratulatory messages. If they fix this, I'll update my score. ### 1/5 — Widget not working on iOS 26 *2025-09-17, version 1.11* could you please fix the widget box frame for the Liquid Glass iOS 26 ### 1/5 — Liquid glass was implemented into the settings button, but nowhere else? *2025-09-16, version 1.11* Good example of a redesign gone wrong ### 1/5 — Fake free version *2025-05-11, version 1.10* You can add exactly 3 birthdays before having to select a subscription type. Lmao. ### 1/5 — It changes the dates *2025-05-06* Idk what’s happening but the app keeps changing the birthday dates every year. I tried to keep correcting the dates but it keeps changing the dates for 1 or 2 days before. -.- ### 1/5 — unreliable *2025-01-10, version 1.9.4* I don’t get why but it’s making everything a day earlier for some reason, i’ve been paying for a while now and i’ve embarrassed myself plenty of times because it’s putting people birthday earlier than it actually is ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Klasse App *2025-09-20, version 1.12* Super App, einfach zu Bedienen und zeigt im Lockscreen-Wigdet die ausstehenden Geburtstage an, was für mich extrem hilfreich ist. Erstklassiger Support, vor diesem Update funktionierte das Anzeigen der Geburtstage nicht mehr, bereits heute kam das Update und der Fehler ist behoben. Vielen Dank und weiter so! ### 5/5 — Widget stop working *2025-09-16, version 1.11* With today update widget stop working on IOS 26 !!! Please fix !!! Thanks ### 5/5 — A very handy and user-friendly app. *2025-05-11, version 1.10* I’ve been using the birthday app for over a year now and it’s a fantastic tool to maintain your network and have a clear overview of everyone around you who’s celebrating a birthday, since you can import databases and also manually add data. ### 5/5 — Option for anniversary is helpful... *2024-11-08* Super ### 5/5 — Très pratique *2024-10-30* Application simple d’utilisation qui vous rappel chaque anniversaire et vous permet d’envoyer un sms pré enregistré si vous le souhaitez en fonction du groupe de contact (amis, famille, professionnels…). Il manque le support du Français ! Merci ! ### 5/5 — Werbung *2024-10-12* Hallo, ich hab die Pro Version und langsam geht mir die Werbung für die Quiz-App auf die Nerven. Warum muss ich mir das jeden Tag anschauen? Update Wie es aussieht, wurde das „Problem“ mit dem letzten Update behoben. Aber es hat zulange gedauert! **Developer response:** Hey Blutzahn, Das tut mir leid, das sollte in der Pro-Version wirklich nicht passieren! 😕 Wir arbeiten daran, dass die Werbung verschwindet, damit du die App in Ruhe genießen kannst. Danke, dass du uns darauf aufmerksam gemacht hast! Liebe Grüße, Marc 🚀 ### 5/5 — Ayuda ya no me funciona igual q antes *2024-03-03, version 1.8.3* No le deja poner la fecha exacta de un cumpleaños me toca poner un día después para q me salga la fecha correcta y ya mire por todos lados la aplicación y hasta le quite los recordatorios y nada, me pueden ayudar pliss. ### 5/5 — Very polished birthday widgets *2024-02-09, version 1.8.3* Really love this, as well as the more general countdown widget app by the same folks! I’m crossing my fingers that the devs add iOS lockscreen widgets and watchOS complications, which are both in the countdown app. ### 5/5 — Restore purchases *2024-01-06, version 1.8.3* I changed phone how can I restore my lifetime purchase :( ? ### 5/5 — Birthdays and (_____) *2023-06-03, version 1.7.1* Love the app, just have a suggestion to make the app more useful - can you add the ability to change the "type" of event?The different groups are super useful but I would like the ability to add anniversaries, unique family holidays, or any other "type" of event and it seems like it would add a lot of value to your product and be an easy addition?
