Birthday Reminder & Countdown Reviews

by Donetried12namesalltaken

I had all birthday in BirthdayReminderCountdown (cause I have bad memory and the reason to have an app like this) switched phones transferred everything over from iPhone to iPhone once all was transferred and working I factory reset other iPhone (if anybody is in the same situation DO NOT reset old phone until you write down all your birthdays) when I opened up all my apps most just continued where I left off BirthdayReminderCountdown didn’t so now I have no ideal who’s birthday is next or when anybody's is. Very upset and embarrassed to have to reach out to family and friends to get everyone’s birthday again and most embarrassing part is asking either how old they turning or what year they was born

Have had BirthdayReminderCountdown for a couple of years and am deleting it. The notifications are sporadic and have missed several birthday which has been embarrassing at times. Most recently I bought a new iPhone and none of my birthdays transferred which were added manually. I reached out to customer support and was given vague instructions on how to retrieve but nothing works.

I bought the Pro version of BirthdayReminderCountdown awhile back and I recently updated when I saw an update was available in BirthdayReminderCountdown Store a few days ago, but for some reason I still can’t get the widget to display any data on the home page of my iPad Pro. The widget itself shows up, but it’s empty. I can tap on it and BirthdayReminderCountdown opens and *then* I can see all my data for the day but I have to open BirthdayReminderCountdown to see any data. Nothing has *ever* shown up in my widget since I first downloaded BirthdayReminderCountdown . I tried to contact support through BirthdayReminderCountdown Store link but my email keeps giving me an error that the address listed in BirthdayReminderCountdown Store is invalid.

I’ve had BirthdayReminderCountdown since iOS 14 was installed and never had an issue until lately. When I got a new phone BirthdayReminderCountdown would not work with the widgets, it just stayed blank. So I decided to delete them redownload it. It was working just fine until I was trying to add in birthday’s and it would not let me set a date it kept going to January 5th 2021. I have it 3 stars because I had actually liked BirthdayReminderCountdown a lot =(

After contacting support I was able to have the data appear on both my phones and my iPad. By the way, support answered my l email within minutes. Very impressive. The only reasons I did not give 5 stars, is that I just started using BirthdayReminderCountdown today and I rated on what I have seen only in a few moments. The other reason, is although you cannot backup to your computer, you can send to the cloud but it would be nice to have the option to print the list of names and birthdates as a safety measure.

Easiest to manage birthday tracker out there! Nothing fancy, just a simple and very effective tracker to manage your birthdays. It also includes a few extra features that I don’t personally use but could be handy for businessmen or other people.

The only issue that I encountered (reason for a 4 star review, and I hope the administration can fix this) was that the notification system is a little bit sketchy. I had all notifications enabled, set reminder times etc, but it still failed to remind me when birthdays came up. Rarely would I even get a badge on BirthdayReminderCountdown when a birthday was up. This defeats the purpose of BirthdayReminderCountdown, which is to help remind you when a birthday comes up. However, I do recall the notifications working a few times, I just wish it was more consistent. Hopefully I am not the only one who encountered this issue.

If you don’t know the year of birth for a person, BirthdayReminderCountdown will list them as 417 years old. Good for birthdays, (it is a birthday app), but not really good for other things like anniversaries or other events since it will show anything entered as turns (age) in x number of days. Picked BirthdayReminderCountdown because iPhone will allow it to be added as a widget on the screen. Nice feature.

I tried out several birthday apps to be able to get a quick view of who is how old and when their birthdays are so I don’t have to scroll through my calendar.
This is the best of the bunch in my opinion

I love the dark mode & that I can passively glance at the widget to know if I’ll need to buy a gift or schedule a call. Dedicated app with count downs work better for conceptualizing shipping windows etc. Developer responded quickly to troubleshoot a glitch. Love it!

I have been looking for a way to help me keep all the birthdays at a glance. Have actually tried a couple birthday apps that I was unimpressed with. This is just what I was looking for! Has all birthdays by month. If it’s someone’s bday, the apps icon has a little icon to remind you that day! Genius!

by Twweesa

Wanted an app for upcoming dates and this does exactly what it says if will do. My only request is to be able to select multiple contacts and hide them all at once rather than one at a time.

After updating on iOS 13 all reminders are shifted for a day! Algthough I have not made any changes in date and time, all reminders are shifted for a day!
Due this bug I have forgoten on several bithdays, until I noticed where is the cause of the problem!
I’m really dissapointed!

I've had several other birthday reminder programs & they were sloppy in my opinion. I tried the free unpaid version of BirthdayReminderCountdown and it didn't take me very long to buy the full lifetime version for $5.99, & so far I am wildly impressed with its simplicity and very nice built-in features (see below). I can see some careful thought went into creating BirthdayReminderCountdown and the reviews by others speak volumes to the credibility of the Developer & the reviews are originally what got me looking at it in the first place. Also, under "Help and Support" the Developer himself can be directly contacted via e-mail. I actually did that b/c I had a question and he responded within 2 hours & that my friends is a very good sign that he's on top of things and wants the user to be happy with his program.

Some features with the paid version (all of them I really like)
1. iCloud sync (Nice)
2. Auto import of birthdays from your iPhone contacts (really love this one)
Every time you add a birthday in your contact list, it's automatically added to the birthday program.
3. Export feature to Excel , CSV or PDF formats (awesome)
4. Hidden birthday feature
5. Auto-check for leap year
6. Sort list by Alpha or by Date

Good job Sebastien!

BirthdayReminderCountdown is good but it would be much better if you made it send our phones a little notification overall it’s amazing and I would get it

If you ever have any issues, email support and they will work with you to fix it. BirthdayReminderCountdown has the best layout I’ve seen compared to the other apps. And it will actually remind you when it’s someone’s birthday ahead of it. I had a different app before that would randomly remind me so I had to access BirthdayReminderCountdown daily to be sure I didn’t miss someone’s birthday!

Was having a problem syncing across devices (mostly my own doing). Sent an email and was contacted within minutes. Spent a long time going back and forth until he figured out the problem. I was extremely frustrated and he was extremely patient. Not used to such that level of support! Thanks. Love BirthdayReminderCountdown - it does exactly what I need it to do.

I absolutely love BirthdayReminderCountdown. I find it far more helpful than using an old fashioned calendar. In addition to BirthdayReminderCountdown , the customer service is absolutely amazing. I had an issue that I was unable to figure out, and the customer service emailed with me at least 3 times to help me correct the issue. I definitely recommend BirthdayReminderCountdown.

Okay so personally I forget birthday’s all the time and BirthdayReminderCountdown is perfect for that! I haven’t forgotten a birthday since I got BirthdayReminderCountdown. You can add as many people as you want and it’s free with ads but that’s fine with me. And even if you didn’t want ads and stuff like that you could pay $1.99 a year or $5.99 one time payment. If you forget peoples birthdays then this is BirthdayReminderCountdown for you!!!!

BirthdayReminderCountdown has become a great tool for me to track birthdays and anniversaries. The next birthday is always at the top, let’s me know how many days until the event and, if I choose, reminds me of how old the person is turning. It has saved me many times from forgetting someone’s birthday. The only thing I would change at this point is to add a spot for addresses for the individuals. Not just phone, email and notes but an address too for those that still like to send things in the mail.

Amazing app. So well organized. I was having trouble getting birthday reminders that were entered in my contacts, but BirthdayReminderCountdown solved that problem - it automatically imported birthdays from my contacts and sorted them by date. It even lets you adjust when you want a reminder. Definitely worth downloading!

by Lovesunnynature

The reminders don’t work and support wasn’t able to help me though I followed their advice. Finally they didn’t help me with processing refund saying I need to contact App Store.

Easy interface and handy features make BirthdayReminderCountdown #1 choice of such kind. 10/10 recommend!
