The app works great. I did have a small problem I sent an email and was corrected very fast so thank you. ### 5/5 — Birthday wish *2022-11-11* Excellent ### 5/5 — i now remember every birthday *2022-11-01* so good love seeing my friends birthdays in one place, so organized! only a question of time until Apple steals the idea and implements it in their contacts app **Developer response:** Hi myncah, We are so happy that you love our app! If you haven't tried it already, we think you'd love our home screen widget, so you can see all of your upcoming birthdays and plan ahead by getting gift suggestions or flowers. Best, The Sunshine Team ### 5/5 — Best birthdays app I’ve used *2022-09-01* This is the most intuitive birthdays app I’ve used. It brings in birthdays from Facebook and contacts so you don’t have to add them all manually, which was a pain for all other apps I’ve used. You can easily star the people you want reminders for. This is how I remember to send anyone a birthday wish. Sunshine Birthdays has saved my friendships. ### 5/5 — The best birthday app! *2022-08-26* This app has saved the day for me numerous times! I haven’t forgotten a birthday since I’ve downloaded it and the flower ordering is so easy I love it! ### 5/5 — Best bday reminder app *2022-07-21* I was able to import all of my friends bdays from Facebook and finally delete my account. Now I text my friends and catch up with them. It’s been awesome. ### 5/5 — So useful and delightful *2022-07-13* I love having all of the birthdays of my contacts in one place. Gone are the days of checking FB notifications, my calendar and my brain for birthdays or worse yet, forgetting ! ### 5/5 — Awesome way to connect with people. *2022-07-11* I love how easy this app makes celebrating people’s birthdays! It’s awesome that I can quickly and easily send gifts on the app as well. I always forget to check Facebook notifications and so having a designated place for my collective birthdays is great (especially cause lots of my friends aren’t even on Facebook!). ### 5/5 — Seamless ordering process, perfect for forgetful people like me. *2022-06-30* Bringing in the Facebook birthdays is a game changer. The app gave me access to my friend’s and family’s birthdays and allowed me to choose which people I’m notified about. I placed an order for flowers to be sent to my Mom. All I had to do was pick a color, write a note, and give the delivery address and it was done! They took care of all the stressful details. My Mom loved the flowers and I got the 3 hours of my life I would have spent ordering them, back. I want to try out the gift concierge service for my next friend’s birthday. ### 5/5 — Works great *2022-06-29* Made it really easy to get all my birthdays off facebook (finally) and had some quite fun text prompts to send on people’s birthdays ### 5/5 — Birthday Love *2022-06-29* Since I don’t use Facebook much anymore, this is a great way to get birthday notifications so that can reach out to old friends and avoid awkward encounters with people I see every day. ### 5/5 — Good app to keep track of birthdays! *2022-06-28* I’ve been using this app for a few weeks now. It’s helpful to see all my friends’ birthdays between my contacts and Facebook. (I used to use Facebook for this, but Facebook changed their app and now it’s difficult to track birthdays.) This week, I had 22 people with birthdays and the app came in handy when it reminded me to celebrate. (I almost forgot to wish my cousin a Happy 21st!) It’s cool to have the option to have a personal assistant order a gift for you too. Pretty clean design and neat app overall! ### 5/5 — Delightful birthday reminders *2022-05-21* These birthday reminders are so delightful & cheery. I look forward to these each week. With the bright colors, the UI is also very festive and pleasant. Overall a very simple and a intuitive design 👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad experience *2023-01-19, version 1.35* Confusing to use, bad e-card experience ### 3/5 — E-card Disappointment *2022-10-25* I’m not happy with this app. I sent a Birthday e-card to my son today, I paid $.99 for it and sent it via Messages. It sends him a link, but he can’t even view the ecard unless he download the app. Why should the recipients have to go through the trouble to down load an app after the ecard has been paid for. I feel I wasted my $.99. **Developer response:** Hi beatemgirl, Thank you for your review. Our eCards are delivered using a relatively new iOS feature called 'App Clips' that doesn't require the recipient to download our app -- they can just tap on "Open" and they will be able to see the card. We understand, however, that you didn't have the experience that you were expecting and would like to make things right for you. Please email us at support@sunshine.com and we'll be happy to issue you a refund. Thank you, The Sunshine Team ### 5/5 — So beautiful and personal, made just for the recipient! *2025-06-11* Beautifully done!
