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? ### 1/5 — Can’t search by name! *2021-02-26* The app will only let you search by calendar, not by name! Worthless!! ### 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’ ### 1/5 — non funziona..mancano un sacco di onomastici *2011-07-02, version 2.0* non funziona correttamente non visualizza gli onomastici in modo corretto, mancano molti nomi, nella parte italiana. come possibile che siano messe in vendita applicazioni come queste che non fanno producono i risultati indicati.... ### 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. ### 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.... ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Funziona!!! *2015-03-18, version 4.1* L'app è carina e funziona bene. Comodo l'inserimento nel Centro notifiche. Hai sempre a portata di mano l'onomastico del giorno e non dimentichi di inviare gli auguri. La trovo utile. Bravi Enzo66 ### 4/5 — Work in progress ! *2013-08-17, version 3.1* Molto buona, complimenti ! Manca solo poter aggiungere i contatti che si desidera dalla rubrica nonostante non corrispondano all'onomastico: Es: aggiungere "papà" al giorno del proprio onomastico ! ( Di solito non si memorizza con il nome proprio !! ) Attendo, sicuri che interverrete !! Grazie, M ### 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. ### 3/5 — Sufficiente *2015-10-01, version 4.1* L'applicazione funziona sufficientemente, il widget non rispecchia l'onomastico giornaliero del calendario, da migliorare... ### 3/5 — Può migliorare *2011-06-22, version 2.0* Funziona molto bene. Sarebbe perfetta se ci fosse la possibilità di impostare l allarme per gli onomastici preferiti, in modo da segnalare i contatti autonomamente, senza dover andare a cercare giorno per giorno. Attendiamo aggiornamenti in questo senso ### 2/5 — Search capacity *2021-02-23* There does not seem to be a search bar on this app! Unless I am missing something, to find your “Name Day” you’ll need to scroll through many thousands of names. And the developers charge us for this?! **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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
