Birthday Reminder & Countdown

I got this app almost a year ago I believe, and I’m very forgetful when it comes to remembering birthdays, this app has really came in clutch, I love how you can pick how many days before hand you want the app to remind you for someone’s birthday! But recently I’ve come to realize that when I try to open the app to add a new birthday, the app just instantly kicks me out, I try to open it again and it does it again, I have it on my widgets which is nice that you can do that, and I thought maybe if I go from there but when I click it, it opens the app but it just stays on the loading screen, I’ve tried redownloading the app but the same issue happens, I thought maybe it was just my phone so I forced reset it but no, the same thing happens. Now I have the app on a a different phone and it opens completely fine, no problems whatsoever. I like this app but if I don’t figure out a solution for this problem I might just begin using a different app. 🥲

I’ve always wanted to be someone who remembers everyone’s birthday, but it’s super hard to keep track of everyone’s birthday, and just having it on my calendar has never worked for me. I need to see it at all times, so the fact that this app also has a widget that lets me have it on my screen at all times has been a game changer. I love seeing, “Amy has a birthday today”, “Sarah has a birthday in 3 days”, “John has a birthday in 16 days”, “Xavier has a birthday in 37 days”, etc. I use this app in conjunction with the Felt app (not good for birthday tracking), that lets me digitally create a birthday card, which they mail for me (can be set to mail asap or on a specific date). Between these 2 apps, I’ve become the person who i’ve always wanted to be to my loved ones when it comes to remembering birthdays, anniversaries, and important events.

The is far and above the greatest app I have ever downloaded on my phone. It’s just so easy to use, and anytime you remember someone’s birthday, they are just so happy. I show this app to my friends, and they tell “that’s so stupid, just enter someone’s birthday in your contacts and use the Apple calendar.” But they could not be more wrong. First of all, because you don’t always have the contact for everyone, and you can sync birthdays to contacts later if you wish. Second, because the Apple calendar doesn’t really notify you of anything unless you have set it to alert you. This app promptly puts a notification on your Lock Screen at 8:00 AM telling you who’s birthday it is and how old they’re turning (if you have the year entered in the app). You can even set it to remind you days in advance so you have time to get someone something or want to send them a letter or something, as well as change the time of notification if you want it earlier or later, maybe if someone’s in a different time zone. The only thing I would change is for the app to show you how many people you have entered in the app on the bottom of the app, but beyond that this is the perfect app. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, frankly what are you doing?
