### 5/5 — Way easier to use

*2026-05-05, version 2.5.21*

than the chrome extensions I tried to use to import from Facebook that don’t work at all

### 4/5 — Hbd first looks

Like to see use of AI in designing personalization and text as well as pictures, backgrounds, confetti drops, explosions, fireworks, etc as items that could be added to interior of cards

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-01-07, version 2.5.21*

Great app!
Very useful for a forgetful person like me

### 2/5 — Great idea but bug with facebook connection and cant sign in on desktop app

*2024-10-19, version 2.5.19*

After i log in with facebook it just keeps showing a blank screen and a loading wheel. I want to get the lifetime pro plan but need the facebook import to work!

I was able to signup with the number from the iOS app, but still cant log in on desktop app.

After I enter my phone number to get the code it says “Something went wrong :( We couldn’t sign in with that phone number. Please try again”

### 4/5 — Please make a Lock Screen widget

*2024-09-10, version 2.5.18*

That says like the picture of the person and words that say today or something similar

### 4/5 — Can’t get in

*2024-05-17, version 2.5.18*

Hi, it doesn’t send text for log in

### 5/5 — Amazing

It is so cool it makes me smile I can’t imagine how it makes all the people I send it to smile that I took time to send them something meaningful

*2023-12-20, version 2.5.16*

I am in love with this app and the whole concept really. I would love it if there were more options for designs or even a way for me to make a custom card with a photo!

### 1/5 — Please help

*2023-11-28, version 2.5.16*

I love this app but I changed phones and now it won’t let me login using my phone number. I get an error message that says 

“something went wrong :( We couldn’t sign in using that phone number. Please try again.”

I have so many birthdays saved on this app and it’d be a pain to add them all back again…
