Sure, it will help you remember birthdays but the ads are ridiculous. Every time I try to use the Ap to add or update a birthday, it launches an ad within 30 seconds to a minute after I open the Ap. The only way to get out of the ad is to close out the Ap and reopen it. And the ad starts again. No longer a great Ap. ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-06-25, version 3.0* I like the ad but every few seconds an ad pops up even though there is an ad constantly on the page and I wish I could ad anniversary's ### 4/5 — Translation *2026-06-17* Nice app. It would be great if it had a Russian translation, I'd like to install it for my relatives who don't speak English. ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2026-06-14, version 3.0* I think this is a decent app but there are DO MANY ADS and also I don’t think it understand the concept of being born on February 29 🙏😩 ### 1/5 — Deleted my data *2026-05-14, version 3.0* I’ve been using this app for over a year. And one day it just deleted all of my data ### 1/5 — Ads ads ads *2026-05-12, version 3.0* Like other reviews, this app has been overloaded with ads which makes it difficult to use I think is affecting the notifications too as they are not 100% reliable. I have ADHD and ads make me click out & forget what I was doing so frustrating. Also today I had a malicious ad come up saying my phone was infected or hacked or something wanting me to click on it which is very concerning ### 4/5 — Add Live Activities please *2026-05-12* I've been missing birthdays a lot because there are no Live Activities. Add, please. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2026-05-09, version 3.0* This app is amazing at helping you keep track of birthdays. It reminds you a few days before, and offers you a countdown for each one. As far as I know, there’s no limit as to how many birthdays you can add. However, there’s is an absolutely absurd amount of ads. ### 1/5 — Spoilt by ads *2026-05-06, version 3.0* WARNING- this app just told me a genuine installed app was out of date and then tried to direct me to some other spurious app instead. This should be reported to Apple ### 2/5 — Too many adds! *2026-05-05, version 3.0* It’s almost unusable because adds pop up at least every 30 seconds. It’s gotten worse over time. If it wasn’t for the adds it would be a 5star app. ### 3/5 — Hmmmm *2026-05-01, version 3.0* I am a new user of this app and I can see how this could be useful. So maybe I start using the app and I just want to enter five important birthdays. It takes about 10 seconds to add a birthday, but I might have to watch a 30 second ad. This is a bit too much. Plus, the app makes you watch the ad in the middle of a birthday entry. I don’t mind watching the ads because I recognize that I’m getting the app for free. But this is just a little too annoying. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs improvement!! *2026-08-20, version 3.0* Don’t DELETE IT WILL LOOSE ALLLLL THE BIRTHDAYS YOU PUT IN!!!!! ### 1/5 — Hacking message *2026-07-22, version 3.0* I used this app for years but now I keep getting messages that I’m being hacked or have been hacked. Very strange. Happened twice. So I got rid of this app. ### 1/5 — Monthly sub for feature = 1 star *2026-07-21, version 3.0* If it’s not a one time fee or free, it can get lost ### 1/5 — Unusable due to ads *2026-07-10, version 3.0* App is great but is unusable due to the amount of ads on the app. You can maybe click 3 times before another add pops up. Ridiculous. Other than that the app is good ### 1/5 — Too many ads to be operational *2026-07-05, version 3.0* An ad pops up every 30 seconds. Can’t use it. ### 1/5 — boo *2026-06-21, version 3.0* too many ads ### 1/5 — Too Many Adverts *2026-06-08, version 3.0* Would have to be the most frustrating App on the internet. You don’t even get a chance to fill in a new entry without being interrupted with an advert. Talk about hungry for a dollar. ### 1/5 — Virus *2026-06-02, version 3.0* From the moment I downloaded the app, I was repeatedly shown advertisements claiming that my device had a virus. ### 1/5 — Ads every minute *2026-05-27, version 3.0* I really miss shine birthdays. I wish they would’ve shut down their app and blew this one away. Great idea, but man there is way too many ads. They are nonstop. Makes it hard to use. Look for another alternative. ### 1/5 — Don’t use this *2026-05-15, version 3.0* The ads on this app are beyond annoying. There are other better free apps out there. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-08, version 3.0* This is a great app where you can put in peoples birthday and it tells you how old they are tuning and in how many days.It is also completely free and here are a lot of adds but they are very short.Verry good app ai recommend especially if you are a forgetful person ### 5/5 — Comment *2026-07-24, version 3.0* This is a great application.
