It's sweet that you want to wish me a happy birthday but what if I don't need it, why can't I simply skip it? This seems unnecessary and awkwardly intrusive, that I can't use the app without completing this step. ### 5/5 — A must have *2026-05-22* This app is AMAZING! Definitely a huge upgrade from seeing birthdays in your calendar. Thank you for making this app. ### 4/5 — Good app, but sometimes the birthdays disappear *2026-04-09* The birthdays have been disappearing from the list, despite refresh and trying to trigger reload, with the exception of the soonest birthday. Other than that this is a clean app with a neat design. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2026-04-06* Great design, easy to use, and focused on doing one thing well. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — [UPDATE FIXED]Looks really nice and aesthetic but birthdays are off by 1 day *2026-04-04* Update : fixed Old review :Great app ui but not sure what’s wrong with it but everyone’s birthday is off by a day. I view their contacts and it says the correct day for the birthday but in the app it’s always 1 day behind even if I update their birthday manually. Couldn’t fix it in the settings and ideally add a support email so I don’t have to write a review for this bug **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review and for taking the time to explain the issue, that was really helpful. You were absolutely right about the birthday bug, and it’s now been fixed in the latest update! I also appreciate the suggestion about adding a support email. That’s a great point and something I’m looking into. Thanks again for your patience and for helping improve the app. I hope everything is working smoothly for you now with the new update! ### 5/5 — Excelent *2026-03-31* Nice App ### 5/5 — What a great app! *2026-02-27* This app is Amazing! So Helpful. It’s always so awkward when you forget someone’s birthday! That’s now a problem of the past! ### 4/5 — Looks great so far! *2025-10-17* App is beautiful. Seems really well thought out and looks great. I would love it if they would add what age the person will be on their birthday though. Hopefully that will get added. ### 5/5 — Great stylish app +Option request *2025-09-16* This is a great, simple, yet stylish app. It has a nice widget and customization options. In my opinion, the app is missing a few things. If possible, add the option to change the notification sound and import birthday data from other sources. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words and thoughtful feedback! Both of your requests — changing the notification sound and importing birthday data from other sources — have been put in the pipeline for v1.4.0. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! ### 5/5 — Must-download for Birthdays *2025-06-18* Incredible app! Super intuitive, beautifully designed, and actually makes remembering birthdays fun and stress-free. Love the little thoughtful features, this one’s a must-download. **Developer response:** Thank you so much, Keyurrrr! I’m really glad to hear you’re enjoying Cake and that it’s making birthdays more fun and stress-free. Your feedback means a lot and keeps me motivated to further improve the app. ## Frequently asked questions about Cake ### Does Cake have ads? No, Cake is ad-free.
