Birthday Info Widget

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.

Ratings and reviews

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.
