### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2022-06-04, version 2.1.0*

This is a really great, simple to use, birthday and other date tracking app. The app developer is a great person, and is very receptive to any comments or ideas. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — New favorite app

*2021-08-12, version 2.0.0*

So glad I found this!! I’m really bad at keeping up with all the reminders I need and this makes it super easy. By far the most useful app I’ve downloaded

### 4/5 — My mistake

*2021-08-11, version 2.0.0*

Gave a 1star earlier because I thought my data was lost. I’ve had this app for years and love it

### 5/5 — Made with love

*2021-08-10, version 2.0.0*

Been using this for years. Love the new update!

### 5/5 — Does one thing really well

*2019-07-31, version 1.0.0*

Serves a niche need I’ve had that the big calendar apps are just to cumbersome for. Needs a few more functions to be mind-blowing but giving 5stars as a statement of hope in its future.:D

### 2/5 — Meh. Almost does what I want

*2019-06-08, version 1.0.0*

Seems you can’t be alerted on the day of a specific event unless it’s midnight. I just wanted a reminder to call someone on their birthday around lunchtime that day, and this app will only send an alert at midnight the day of the event, or at any time previously.

**Developer response:** Hey swartzdesk. Thanks for leaving a review. I've decided to dust this app off after 5 years (it was my first app) and actually make it useable again. Expect a UI overhaul and working notifications in a month or so. Do you still have it downloaded? If so, are there any features you'd like to see? Cheers - Aaron
