Make a birthday card Open any birthday and tap "Make a card" to build an animated card for that person. Pick from seven designs, including a candlelit cake, a balloon, a departure board, an ink circle, bunting and fireworks. Add their name and your own message. If you've saved their birth year, the card can show the age they're turning. Send it as a video Share your card as a short video straight to WhatsApp, Messages or any app. Cards work even when you're offline. A clearer board The current month is now highlighted, and the next upcoming birthday stands out, so you can see at a glance who's coming up. Smoother and steadier Pages slide smoothly from one to the next, and the offline notice no longer flashes when you open the board.

Fixes a problem that could prevent signing in with Apple, and the app now tells you what went wrong if a sign-in fails. Thanks for your patience.

Birthday Scroll now works completely offline. Your whole board — every birthday, every live countdown — is saved on your device, so it's all there on a plane, on the subway, or anywhere with no signal. You can add, edit and delete birthdays without a connection too: changes save instantly and sync on their own the moment you're back online. The app also launches noticeably faster now that it no longer waits on the network to start.

New: a home-screen widget that shows your next birthday with a live countdown. Sign in with Apple, plus polish and fixes.
