Makes us look like we have it all together!! ### 5/5 — Love it 🤩 *2022-06-07, version 1.7.2* It helps me with reminders as well as birthdays since I am a very forgetful person. Definitely recommend.☺️ ### 5/5 — :) *2022-06-02, version 1.7.2* I just love this app ### 3/5 — Handy! *2022-05-30, version 1.7.2* The only thing I would suggest is a name search. I do the card ministry at our church & sometimes I need to find a specific name for someone & I have to scroll down for several minutes until I find them. ### 5/5 — Life saver *2022-05-29, version 1.7.2* I am able to use this app to remember everyone’s birthdays and even upcoming events. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — inappropriate ads *2025-12-20, version 3.2.1* I have loved this app for years, but I was practically forced to pay for no ads because of how wildly inappropriate the ads were. I am in shock that an app like this would have ads like those. ### 1/5 — Hours wasted *2025-11-06, version 3.2.1* Did not save my info ### 1/5 — Trump Donald *2024-09-13, version 2.3.1* It’s ridiculous when you can’t add additional birthdays without paying for the EXTRA’S. Why have the app. ### 1/5 — $$$$$$ *2024-08-22, version 2.3.1* Great app but too expensive ### 1/5 — Have to pay *2024-07-27, version 2.3.0* This app only lets you add 6 birthdays for free until you are forced to pay $12.99 to upgrade. Won’t be useful unless you know less than 6 people. ### 1/5 — No Longer Free *2024-06-21, version 2.2.8* What happened?? I can’t add birthdays anymore. Clicking on the + button takes me to a paywall.. ### 1/5 — No Longer Free *2024-06-14* What happened?? I can’t add birthdays anymore. Clicking on the + button takes me to a paywall.. ### 1/5 — No, just no. *2023-08-03, version 2.0.1* Don’t have anything to say, it’s awful. ### 1/5 — It’s ok *2020-05-08, version 1.2.1* Co ### 2/5 — Might have been good when ACTUALLY free *2024-12-12, version 2.3.1* I read the first few reviews and was looking forward to a simple, free app to track co-workers’ birthdays and work anniversaries. Added only 6 names then ran into a $12.99 paywall. Deleting app now. ***sigh*** ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-09-06, version 3.2.1* It’s very helpful ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-01-30, version 3.1.0* I really like how I can keep track of all my family and friends birthdays.
