I’ll never forget
May 11

I’ve been using Birthday Countdown: CandlesUp for the last couple weeks mainly to keep track of family birthdays, and it’s been more useful than I expected. I like that I could import contacts quickly and set reminders a few days ahead instead of only on the actual date. The countdown view is oddly satisfying, and the widget has been helpful since I tend to forget dates unless they’re right in front of me. I also appreciate that the app feels lightweight and not overloaded with unnecessary stuff.

I like the app and what they did with it. I really like how it goes to the last second on your birthday, I think that’s really impressive. I am kind of bumped that you can’t see other peoples birthday time tell the second just like my birthday. Also I love how it shows you your zodiac sign. Overall I really enjoying this app and will be telling all my friends about this.

Bug but good

There is a bug and it won’t let me do anything on the app because it wants me to purchase premium and I can get out of the premium page even thought I have had this app for months. Aside from that 5 stars

I like it, but I do not like how so many things are premium like I would like to be able to set a minimum of five notifications per birthday. And see stuff like my zodiac sign, etc. I do appreciate the app, but wish you could also save gift ideas to each person and it could use AI to type out a text that you could send that person on their birthday.

iCloud sync is here: your birthdays, photos and notes now stay up to date across all your iPhones and iPads. It turns on automatically when you're signed in to iCloud, and your data is stored in your own private iCloud. Also in this update: smoother performance and bug fixes.
