But it is missing one thing. Although it backs up to the cloud, it doesn’t have the ability to sync with other devices, across the cloud. I have the app on both my iPad and iPhone. If I add a date to the app using my iPad, it does not add it to the app on my iPhone. I hate having to add everything twice, or do a back up, then restore the backup on the other device. It would be nice if data would just sync across your devices. ### 5/5 — Occasions 3 *2025-09-28, version 3.2.8* I’ve had this app for years now and I don’t know what I’d do without it! Blows everybody’s mind the dates I remind them of ! I love to customize it ! 5+ stars ! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-09-23, version 3.2.8* My memory is bad and I depend on this,and never have let me down ### 5/5 — Лучшее приложение - напоминалка *2025-09-21* Лет 10 уже, как лучшего ничего не написали. Это самая удобная напоминалка. ### 4/5 — Been using this for years, but now... *2025-09-20, version 3.2.8* ...the app won't update because my old iPad is stuck at iOS16 and the app updates require iOS18. Not that I mind the app not updating (if it works, it works!), but this gets in the way when I'm trying to "update all" (the only way to make progress is to cancel and then update every app individually), and I am also now worried that all my calendar reminders might vanish at some point. Surely there's a way to keep compatibility with older iOSs, for those of us without the latest tech. ### 5/5 — Occasions App *2025-09-19, version 3.2.8* Occasions is the best App ( I have ever got it’s Amazing funny side of it is how many friends say to me in a reply it’s amazing how you always remember including 1 said to me 🙏s Geoff I forgot about our Anniversary you smart A… for reminding me LOL 😂) ### 5/5 — Молодцы! *2025-09-19* Работает без перебоев и нареканий уже много лет. ### 5/5 — My Birthday & Anniversary Guru *2025-09-09, version 3.2.7* Excellent app keeps me in favour with all the extended family ### 5/5 — On Point *2025-09-02, version 3.2.7* This app has saved us over years in remembering special dates ahead of time! ### 5/5 — Mi aplicación favorita! *2025-09-02, version 3.2.7* Me recuerda todos los días felicitar a las personas que amo y son parte de mi vida! ### 5/5 — Life Saver! *2025-08-19, version 3.2.6* I’ve used this app since it first came out. It is a life saver! I never forget a birthday, anniversary or any significant event. I can always figure out how much time I have to send out birthday gifts/cards. I like the option to pick religious holidays or not. ### 5/5 — Have had this app for a while now *2025-04-06, version 3.2.6* Really love this app has save me from missing important anniversaries/birthdays. What’s this about an upgrade and how do I get this. Thanks again great little app for the absent minded. ### 4/5 — Great, But *2025-02-15, version 3.2.6* I have had this app for years & it’s great. I access & depend on it everyday. However, the name of the day of the week stated for each of the birthday, anniversary & death are not the correct day name of the week for the date recorded. Can you please advise why this is so. ### 2/5 — Multiple holidays *2024-11-28, version 3.2.6* In my calendar I have several listing for every holiday. When I tap on them they all say created by occasional app. Even after i deselect holidays in the occasions app, they are still listed. Each holiday has 6 or 7 listings. I only want one per holiday. I can’t see anything else on those days because the holiday is listed so many times. ### 3/5 — Multiple Reminders *2024-11-16, version 3.2.6* Original app was terrific! Provides birthday/holiday reminders and syncs into Calendar. However in recent years, reminders duplicated exponentially - a birthday reminder now chimes 120 times in rapid-fire!!! I’ve followed instructions to fix it, but to no avail. I deleted and reinstalled it, and I got charged again for the privilege. PLEASE fix this!!! ### 4/5 — Très bien, mais attention ! *2024-11-11* Très bonne application, pour ne pas rater une date importante Mais j’ai dû désactiver la synchronisation avec le calendrier du téléphone, car elle y mettait automatiquement entre 10 et 15 rappels à chaque anniversaire (et ce, à 2 années d’avance) ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tons of calendar dupes. *2026-08-27, version 3.2.9* Wasting time. Not cool ### 1/5 — Duplicate entries *2025-12-28, version 3.2.9* I really liked this app until I started getting duplicate entries for all occasions listed in this app. I had a dozen entries for each event. I finally deleted the app. Unfortunately the entries are still listed. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-10-30, version 3.2.9* I have used this app for years but it is so annoying. I absolutely dislike it. I will click the flag to mute an upcoming day until the day of but then I still get push notifications. Take today for example. My brother's birthday is 7 days out. I click the flag to mute till the day of and I just got a notification that's he's turning such and such age in 7 days. Hours later. It's not like this app does a ton. How do you mess up basically the one thing you do? ### 1/5 — Good unless you sync *2024-10-04, version 3.2.6* Loved this App until I realised with every sync all my birthday and anniversary notifications in calendar would be duplicated. I now have 15 or more for the same event on each day on my iPhone calendar. I tried deleting them one by one but the following year they are all back! I’ve had to stop using that particular calendar on my phone. Wish I had never synced it. ### 1/5 — Bug *2023-10-24, version 3.2* Each event is displayed on the calendar 8-9 times. How to solve this problem? ### 1/5 — Too many duplications *2023-10-11, version 3.2* Since upgrading to Sonoma & IOS 17 your application is sending duplicate to both my calendar and even more to my husbands account that shares my calendar. This is happening much too often for us so I must delete your application which I have used forever. Extremely annoying. Since the only way he can get rid of the changes is one at a time. ### 1/5 — Notifications inexistantes *2021-02-15* Depuis la mise à jour les notifications ne fonctionnent plus je ne reçois plus rien et pourtant elles sont bien activées, aussi bien dans le menu notifications de l'iPhone que dans les réglages de Occasions. Merci de réagir 😉 ### 1/5 — Где календарь? *2020-08-17* Теперь нет смысла в этом приложении..! Открывается он просто списком дат и начиная с той даты на котрую назначено какое-то событие.. А НУЖЕН БЫЛ КАЛЕНДАРЬ-открыл и видно какое число какой месяц со всеми предстоящими событиями. Да, было удобно нажать на дату и там отображался список дел/событий, нажав на которое тоже можно было видеть/создавать список. УДАЛЯЮ! ### 1/5 — Olddog *2020-08-04, version 3.0.5* What happened to pass code lock? ### 1/5 — Lost most of my data *2019-11-16, version 2.9.5* My phone needed to be replaced. Backed up data to iCloud. Downloaded data to new phone & have lost months of birthdays, anniversaries and other saved occasions. Quite disappointed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — An Absolute Essential App *2026-01-02, version 3.2.9* Have used the app now for a half dozen years and throughout this time the App has never failed to remind me of important occasions of all types from birthdays, anniversaries to name but a few of those memorable events worth noting. The App is a superb mnemonic device, which has never missed a reminder. Its unfailing features lie in the perceived simplicity of design. All other apps attempting to offer similar features pale by comparison. I would be lost in a disappointing realm of missing important occasions if it were not for the benefits this App never fails to offer. ### 5/5 — Très pratique *2025-11-18* J’utilise cette application depuis des années. Elle récupère automatiquement toutes les dates que vous avez créé dans vos contacts. Vous êtes avertis 14 jours avant 7 jours avant le jour de l’évènement. Le fait que vous soyez prévenu à l’avance, vous permet de prévoir un cadeau si vous devez en faire un ### 5/5 — Such a useful calendar *2025-11-13, version 3.2.9* I’m using it for almost 10 years and it’s working perfectly. I highly recommend it ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2025-11-12, version 3.2.9* Occasions 3 is an exceptional app that excels across every key aspect.

It’s always been excellent for my uses. ### 5/5 — Super amazing app *2025-10-10* Thank you very much to the author for this app with unique functionality. I can't imagine my life without this app. ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP!!! *2025-10-02, version 3.2.8* I’m in my 80’s and have trouble remembering everyone’s birthdays ands anniversaries.
