### 5/5 — Super aber es fehlt etwas

*2026-07-07*

Eigentlich toll. Es wäre gut für Vereine wenn man eine Datei nutzen kann auf die viele Zugriff haben.

### 5/5 — Best Bday App

*2026-07-05*

This is an app that makes sense. So easy and well organized.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-06-05*

You can only have 10 bdays added then they make you pay

### 1/5 — Only able add 10

*2026-06-03*

Bit disappointed that not made clear you can only add 10 birthdays before being asked to pay! Spent ages on them and will have so on another app now!!

### 5/5 — Repeatable Events

*2026-03-21, version 7.0.4*

Should add an option to add Anniversaries.

### 1/5 — Only 10 entries for the free version

*2026-02-01, version 7.0.3*

I wanted a simple app to track my birthdays. This app looked promising but as soon as I entered more than 10 people, it asked me to upgrade. There are other birthday calendar apps that allow for many more entries

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-01-20, version 7.0.3*

You can only add 10 birthdays for free :(

### 1/5 — Zahlen bei Neuinstallation obwohl Lifetime- Kunde und App zur Zeit nutzlos, da Fehler

*2026-01-08*

Hallo, grundsätzlich ist (war) die App in der Vollversion perfekt, da sehr einfach und gut zu bedienen!
Aber: Ich kämpfe jetzt seid 3 Monaten mit eurem Support und laufe gegen Bäume! Ich musste, weil ich die App auf meinem iPhone neu installiert habe, knapp 15,-€ für ein Jahresabo zahlen. Warum kann man nicht, wie in vielen anderen Apps, Einkäufe wiederherstellen? Jetzt laufe ich meinem Geld hinterher. NoGo!
Weiter habe ich alle Vorlagen gelöscht und eigene erstellt. Haben bis vor ca. drei Monaten auch bei der Auswahl, zB. WhatsApp funktioniert. Jetzt ist die Situation so, egal was ich aussuche, WhatsApp, Mail oder Nachricht, sich immer Nachrichten öffnet, aber ohne Vorlagetext, nur blanko. Bis heute konnte dieses nicht gefixt werden. Dadurch ist die App in sich, nutzlos!
Ich möchte jeden hier nur darauf hinweisen, überlegt euch einen Kauf sehr gut. Im jetzigen Zustand ist die App, wertlos!
Ich hab es jetzt mehrfach über den Support versucht zu klären. Ohne Erfolg, deshalb jetzt eine solche Rezension.
Werde diese gerne wieder revidieren, aber dafür seid ihr jetzt in der Pflicht!

**Developer response:** Guten Tag,
hier liegt sehr wahrscheinlich eine Verwechslung mit einer anderen App vor. Die Birthdays-App bietet kein Jahresabonnement an und es gab keinen Kontakt zu dem beschriebenen Supportfall. Auch die geschilderten Probleme lassen sich der Birthdays-App nicht zuordnen.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-12-09*

Quite clearly a well designed, native-feel iOS app. It integrates well with Apple and comes across as if it is was a stock app designed by Apple. The developer has put thought into the user experience and simplicity and has succeeded at that. There is nothing I can fault.

### 5/5 — Reminders

*2025-10-01*

I appreciate the updates from Temu
