About this app

Never forget a birthday or anniversary - AD FREE!

Home screen widget displaying the upcoming birthday and anniversary dates of your contacts and thus reminding you.

In case of problems regarding an update of birthdays, please activate the "Workaround for update problems" in the Settings (press the little sign right, bottom in the widget and then select Settings from the menu) and switch off any battery optimization settings for this app.

For any problems, please read the FAQ on my homepage. In case of problems or questions, please contact me via email and do not just leave a comment in Google Play, as I do not regulary read them!

The widget reads all contacts with birthdays from your Android Adressbook. Therefore you will have to maintain your contacts first (e.g. synchronize with Google). An automatic Facebook synchronization is not supported.

If you encounter any problems with dates, please refer my FAQ at https://sites.google.com/site/erichambuch/birthdaywidget

Permissions:
- READ_CONTACTS to read your contacts, READ_CALL_LOG is automatically added by Google to provide compactibility with older Android versions
- VIBRATE for notification

I've finished the active development of this app, so I will only publish bugfixes but no new features in the future.

I was very dobious as looking at the Google play store, it looked extremely minimal. Glad I gave it a chance. It's ad free, which is always a nice bonus, easy to navigate, and it just works as promised. The reason I gave 4 stars, not 5, is the option to show birthdays, and anniversaries differently, is, to me, is very subtle, and I wish the ability to choose different colours was a full palette, not just a choice of fixed colours. These are minor things, and I have found my new birthday app.

Update- the issue has been fixed and I'm back to loving it. Thank you! Have used and loved this for years, but lately it hasn't been updating correctly (I think since the last update). When it's someone's birthday, it no longer turns red, and when their birthday has passed, it no longer disappears from the list. It only updates if i open the widget settings. Hope you can fix this soon! Am on a Google Pixel 2, everything up to date.

Hi Kate, on new phones with Android 9 (Oreo) the app crashes sometimes in the background, thus the update of birthdays is not performed properly. I am working on that issue.

Used to love this app but since getting a new s22, app no longer works as others have stated. Doesn't change colour on day of event and doesn't disappear after event has passed. I turned off all battery optimisations for the app in settings and the phone has had all of its updates. The app appears to stop working and then if I open settings again it flashes a few times and then starts working.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Please open your settings and deactive all battery optimizations for the app. Otherwise updates could be suppressed by the latest Android system.
