Har du flaggstang — eller en tendens til å glemme bursdagsgaven i god tid? Da er denne appen noe for deg. Appen gir deg alle offisielle norske flaggdager. Du legger inn dine egne merkedager og velger hvilke dager du vil flagge. Så minner appen deg på når flagget skal til topps — og når det skal fires igjen. Du kan også sette en påminnelse så du husker gaven eller blomstene til bryllupsdagen. Flagg når naboen har bursdag, eller når datteren i huset overfor konfirmeres. Spre litt glede og styrk fellesskapet i nabolaget. Flagglag er et abonnement som fornyes automatisk.
