Birthday Calendar

About this app

Never forget Birthdays of your friends and family ever with the Birthday Calendar Application. This application syncs all the birthdays from your FB account and lets you wish them in a single tap. You can also wish them on WhatsApp if you allow Contacts permission to the application. (Note: If the name of a person in facebook account matched exactly with the name in your contact then the application will automatically link that contact with the birthday, else you have to manually link contact from the profile screen)

Key features:

• Home Screen Widget for quick reminder
You can add the widget to your home screen. Using this widget you can directly wish your friends via WhatsApp, Messenger, SMS or call, without opening the application.
Note: There are some launchers which don't allow any third party widget, so it won’t work for them.

• Links the contact with birthday automatically
This application will automatically link the contacts with your account’s birthdays if the name matched. If the name is not the same then you have to manually link the contact from the Profile Screen. Also the application will need permission to read contacts from the device.

• Directly wish via WhatsApp, Call or SMS
No need of doing the tedious task of opening Facebook application to see the birthdays and then finding them in your WhatsApp application to wish them. Instead you can also wish people directly on WhatsApp using this application.
Note: If contacts permission is denied or there is no WhatsApp account for a number this feature won’t work.

• App Lock for security
This application provides a built in App Lock to secure your account and your account’s birthdays. You can use either PIN or Fingerprint (if present) for authentication.

• Set default birthday wish message
Forget typing the long birthday wish again and again for all the birthdays, instead you can set the default birthday wish and the application will handle your pain of typing.

• Mark birthdays as favourites
We all have few friends and family members who are special to us. You can mark them as favourites and check the list of your favourites by simply applying the filter on the Home Screen.

• Wear OS support
You can also have all your birthdays on your Wearable. Just install the app on your Wearable, pair it with your mobile device, and sync all your birthdays to your wearable. It will also contain a tile for a quick look at today's birthdays. It only supports WearOS 3+

Permissions:
• Read contacts - to link the birthdays to the contacts saved in your phone
• Internet - to sync the birthdays from your Facebook account. The application can run without internet after the birthdays are synced

Privacy Policy:
Your data is completely secure. This application won’t send any of your personal data out of your device instead it stores your account’s birthdays locally on your device.

Note:
Many new features are coming to this application soon. So stay tuned for the updates 🙂

Ratings and reviews

One of my preferred applications has presented a challenge. Following a recent change in my mobile device, I am unable to successfully import data from a backup. Despite selecting "select all," the import process is limited to 7-10 contacts at a time. I have already communicated this issue to the developer via email, but I have yet to receive a response. Unfortunately, this situation has resulted in missed birthdays and anniversaries of my acquaintances over the past year.

Love this app! The only issue I have is, one cannot edit/amend a manually added birthday in the calendar. It would be great if there was an edit option for name, date, and year of birth so that age can reflect and which can also be automatically be added onto the Google calendar when synced just like birthdays of friends on FB.

The app is pretty good but I would give 4★ bc I can't see the age my friend's turning to and I can't edit the friend's stats in the app to show dates correctly. I also can't create new birthdays to friends of mine that don't have Facebook and get this notifications. But the reason I'm giving 1★ is because I can't sync my Facebook anymore making this app completely useless for now. Once this bug is fixed I can give the 4★ it deserves Edit: they fixed it

What’s new

- Fixed more issues while fetching birthdays

Note:
- Now there is a limitation from Facebook, that if you try too often to sync birthdays, it will fail and you will need to wait for sometime and try again.
- Removed option to see friendship page as it was not working with newer changes. Will try to add it later.
