### 1/5 — Search doesn’t do what I expected

*2021-03-06*

Thought it would be fun to search by name and find out where in the world and when a person’s name day is. No functionality to do that. Also disappointed that there are so few countries.

### 1/5 — Wish I hadn't paid for this one

*2021-02-27*

It's impossible to find my name because the names are not listed alphabetically. Instead you have to scroll through hundreds of names arranged by date—that's 365 days in the year! I gave up in two minutes, as soon as I saw how absurd the app was. Don't but this.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2021-02-27*

I couldn’t get this app to do anything.  It does not appear to have any functionality.  I tried searching on many common names, even one I knew about, and it comes up blank.

**Developer response:** Make sure you select the country for the names you are looking for. The app can remind you of name days you favorited and you can send them greetings and such. There’s also a Widget so you can keep track of today’s names. Not sure why you don’t understand how to use it?

### 2/5 — Needs more functionality

*2021-02-27*

I thought you couldn’t search for a name or a day but it turns out you can search for a name if you go to list view (only) and scroll to the top to see the hidden search bar. There’s still no function to search for a date, however.

**Developer response:** A lot of people are complaining that there are no search functionality when there actually is? Just scroll to the top of the list view and the search bar will appear. This works the same in many iOS apps like in Contacts for example.

### 1/5 — Can’t search by name!

*2021-02-26*

The app will only let you search by calendar, not by name! Worthless!!

### 2/5 — Cheap 4 a reason

*2021-02-24*

u cannot type in name and find their name day.  it only tells u on a particulary day that u need 2 clunk thru, not by individual name.  Go 2 free sites instead for your family and friends.  i got sucked in....

### 3/5 — No search function!

*2021-02-24*

To find a particular name day you have to scroll through all 365 days. Tedious at best.

**Developer response:** Of course there’s a search function?!? Just scroll to the top of the list-view and the search bar will appear. Now search and add to favorites. Bam! Done.

### 1/5 — Can’t search by name!?

*2021-02-24*

So you’re supposed to go through every day of the year to find a name? Wha?

**Developer response:** Hi Melly! Of course you can search for names! Just scroll to the top of the list-view and the search bar will appear. Now search and favorite the names you want. Easy peasy!

### 1/5 — Waste of a buck

*2021-02-24*

I got more information with a Google search than by using this app.

**Developer response:** So how can Google search remind you of a friend’s names day? Just sayin’

### 2/5 — Difficult to navigate

*2021-02-24*

You can’t search multiple countries at once. Greek is only in Greek script.

Needs improvements or should be free.
