hip: напоминание день рождени‪я‬ 4+

The best

This is my first review ever, but I wanted to write it to congratulate the Hip team for their accomplishment. I always had trouble keeping track of important birthdays, and would periodically go through the awkwardness of forgetting to wish someone in my circle a happy one. Hip has enabled me to offload the cognitive task of remembering birthdays and track them from a single source of truth, with a beautiful UI.

As a suggestion, the gift idea feature can be better tailored for people. Maybe you can prompt users to add some keywords that represent the interests of the birthday person, and show results and similar products based on suggestions. For example, if I input ‘yoga’, I wanted to see mats and rollers, but also related items like aromatherapy vials, wellness gift cards (experiences!), books by Ram Dass, and ayurveda teas.

Thanks again for a wonderful app!

Flawed

Day Stars was a much better app, which the developers abandoned to start this one. It is not supported anymore and you can’t find it on App Store. Hip cuts off the top portion of the thumbnail in the card, in most of the cases it’s the persons head. The birthday card wording is weird, this one says “celebrates 16 years” instead of “turned 16 today” in Day Stars. There is a big white stamp in the bottom in hip, instead of a watermark of Day Stars. I still use my Day Star app even its still has some bugs, like you can’t save the birthday reminder card. While improvement is always welcomed but it should be in the right direction.

Hello and thanks for the feedback! B'days does support a variety of notification sounds for the birthday reminders. See the option in the Profile screen. As for other type of events, you might enjoy our other app more: www.daystars.com

Bug and Another Issue

There is a slight bug. If you expect the reminder to occur right at midnight that is not happening. During the months of Jan, Feb, Nov and Dec the reminder indicates 1 hour later than if the birthday was one of the other remaining months.

Also, why would it not allow future dates? For example, if i am adding in a retirement date as my special day I cannot do it since I cannot go beyond 2018. Or what if I want to make my daughter's graduation in 4 years a special date to remember?

It would be nice also if the days to someone's birthday allows you to select not just 61 days but 2 months - 1 day. Should be an option to make this app better.

Thank you so much for this feedback! The bug had been resolved earlier in the year, and it is now possible to change the countdown type. Future events is definitely something we are looking to add soon!
