### 4/5 — Just what I was looking for

*2018-01-21*

This app has everything you need to keep track of birthdays, anniversaries etc. it picks up all dates entered in your contacts and calendar and has enough options re reminder preferences. Love that it has the option to show you a person’s star sign and Chinese horoscope sign. Displays the number of days until event and also the age of the person / number of years of anniversary (some apps don’t do this). The menu is basic but functional. There is a menu option to change colours but I couldn’t get it to work - a few choices for different colour layouts would be nice but not essential. I have trialled around 20 similar reminder apps and this one is by far the best.

### 5/5 — Anniversary

*2017-10-09, version 1.4.1*

How can I add a persons anniversary when their birthday is also show. I would like to show anniversary in addition to birthday

### 3/5 — Ok but can’t import from Facebook

*2017-09-27*

App does what it says and imports ok from contacts but it won’t import from Facebook unless friends are using too, which obviously very few if any are

### 1/5 — Wrecks your contacts

*2017-06-05, version 1.2.8*

This is horrible and screws up the contacts on your phone. It also only works sporadically. Do not buy this!

### 1/5 — Forget it

*2017-04-10, version 1.1.8*

After purchasing this app it will not open.

**Developer response:** Hello, AcapulcoPalm! Uninstall the free version and try run again.
