The "B'days, only!"-App does exactly what you would expect: It makes sure that you don’t forget the birthdays of your friends and family -- clear and simple! "B'days, only!" presents a list of upcoming birthdays for a quick overview with one click and sends notifications to remind you. Mark your favourite contacts with a star and receive an additional notification a couple of days before the big day, giving you enough time to buy a gift, and if there are people you don’t like that much you can simply hide them and suppress notifications to save your nerves. "B'days, only!" relies completely on the contacts stored on your device. Only date of birth is ever modified and only at your request. No personal information ever leaves your device. Even notifications are created locally, to ensure your privacy is protected. Privacy is important, which is why "B'days, only!" starts in a TryOut mode that allows you to play around first and only grant it access to your contacts if you are really sure that it is useful for you. No account or registration is needed, and the app is fully functional without ads for free -- tips are appreciated though. Additional features include: - show detailed information about your contacts' day of birth, including their exact age in years and days, the weekday they are born, generation group and several zodiac signs - comfortably edit date of birth of your contacts - display statistics of the number of contacts in your address book and how many contain date of birth information - configure in settings when you want to receive the notifications and how many days before you want to get warned of an upcoming birthday of your favourites - hide contacts from the birthday list that don’t contain date of birth information and suppress notifications - filter for contacts by entering names, dates, or age information Give it a try without any obligation and feel free to drop me an email with comments and suggestions. "B'days, only!" is free – enjoy & share!
