### 3/5 — Not complete

*2016-10-14*

This app is not complete and I don't think it is being upgraded anymore. I tried to send comments to the in-app link and the letters were sent back as undeliverable. 
Today, I noticed on USA Today that it is National Coffee Day; but that is not mentioned in the Special Days App. Also, Sunday is Rosh Hoshana; a pretty important holiday to those of Jewish Faith; but again, not listed.

Lastly, don't waste .99 on the Season's App from the same company. That is all it is - an app to tell you when each of the 4 seasons begins. This should be a no-brainer to include in the Special Days app.

### 1/5 — Huh

*2014-12-18, version 1.2.0*

It's not good I can't understand what is that

### 1/5 — This app doesn't work

*2014-04-20*

I tried to use this app but couldn't as there was nothing in it. Just a blank screen with google ads on it
