[APP][RELEASE!] Best Wishes - Automate Birthday Wishes to Facebook

I'm the developer of "Best Wishes". It is an application that will pull down your list of friends from Facebook along with their birthdays. It neatly organizes the birthdays into an intelligent list. Once your friends are loaded you can configure Best Wishes to post notifications when birthdays occur. You can put a widget on your desktop to see upcoming birthdays too.
The real reason I developed the app was to automate birthday wishes. I don't visit Facebook very often, so I wanted a way to automate birthday wishes. The automation is very customizable. You can configure a time range for it to post. The app will randomly pick a time within the range. It comes with 10 "canned" birthday wishes. You can edit these "canned" wishes or add your own. You can select the ones you want and it will pick from them randomly. You can specify custom wishes for your close friends. Plus it is easy to exclude or include which friends you want to send automated messages.
Of course, not all friends put their birthday info on Facebook and some have their permissions set so that 3rd party apps can't access the birthday information. For these cases I've added manual entry so you can use Best Wishes for all your friends.
Check it out and let me know what you guys think. I'm open to feedback and feature suggestions. The full version costs $0.99. The Lite version is free.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.unchained.bestwishes
MOD EDIT: FREE VERSION CAN BE FOUND HERE
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.unchained.bestwisheslite
The main difference between the lite and full version is the level of customization that you can perform. The full version allows you to enter custom birthday wishes, include/exclude friends, and it has ten pre-defined birthday wishes that are editable. The lite version only has one birthday wish ("Happy Birthday!"). The rest of the functionality is the same.
Thanks!

Against the rules to have paid apps up without a free version or trial. Better fix that before you get reported.

I didn't realize that was a rule. I'll put up a free version to go with this when I get home tonight.

Cool, just looking out for you.

I added the free version. Let me know what you think.

Cool application, I purchased it from the marketplace. Works well on my phone, but craps out hard on my tablet. Just a heads up. I sent the crash report in, if it's any use.
Best of luck!

Great app! So much more useful than Facebook for birthdays. Love all of the customization in the paid version!

I love the idea, but have a question. Often when I use an app to post to facebook, there is a little tag line that says it was posted via a particular program. Is this going to do something like "Happy Birthday, Phil" "automatically posted by Best Wishes"? I love the idea of automatic posts, but don't like the idea of them knowing that it was some automatic process and not personal.

I have a couple of quick suggestions. First, can you ad an option to search and/or sort the list of people by date so that you don't have to scroll through hundreds of names to find the right person? Second, I see canned messages containing the person's first name. Can you add an option to replace the person's Facebook name with something else? Third, how about including their age, if known, in a greeting?
For example, I have a friend "Worker Bee" and I'd love the canned message to say "Happy 50th Birthday, Brian!" and I'd like to be able to find him in the list by searching on "Brian" *or* "Worker Bee" and see the list sorted by first name, last name, or birth date. Make sense?

Yes, it will say "post by Best Wishes" at the bottom of your post. I didn't like that either when I first realized that. Facebook does that for accountability reasons. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to know if you posted it or some third party application posted it. There isn't any way to remove that message.
I don't see it as a problem though. I made sure that Best Wishes has the capability to just remind you and then make it easy to post from within Best Wishes. If you click on the person it will take you directly to their profile page. If you have the Facebook app installed it will take you to their page in the Facebook app. If you don't have it installed it will take you to their page via the browser. From their you can post your birthday wish.
The privacy constraints can be a pain, but I guess they are there because enough people requested them.

djeaton, thanks for the feedback.

You can search and it is sorted by date. The date sorting expands the current month by each day you birthdays. Then there is one group per month. You can quickly collapse the groups to jump around the list.
Can you add an option to replace the person's Facebook name with something else?

I didn't think this would be useful as a canned phrase because it would be too specific. I had envisioned that most people would just create a custom birthday wish. I will keep this in mind though. It is definitely a possibility for a future version.
Third, how about including their age, if known, in a greeting? For example, I have a friend "Worker Bee" and I'd love the canned message to say "Happy 50th Birthday, Brian!"

I like this idea. I'll probably add it.

You can search now. Just click the search icon in the top right. If you type Brian it will show any friend with Brian anywhere in their name. The list is sorted by last name then first name.
The most friends I have seen are around 1200. The average person seems to have around 300. Extensive sort order can be added. I decided it was overkill for this first version. I'll keep in mind for a future revision.
Thanks again for all the feedback!

That's good. Just didn't want it to look like a robo-post with no personal touch. Speaking of touching the person and going to their page, could you add the option to long-press on them and be taken to their configuration page where you can enter custom greetings or select a canned one?

Yeah, I'll add that in the next release. It will be quick to add the long press options. Thanks for the feedback djeaton.

I'm constantly forgetting to wish my friends a happy birthday so this app is a brilliant for me!

What makes this app any different then this FREE app that looks like it does everything your PAID app does???

The applications are very similar, however my application edges it out in several ways.
Best Wishes:
- Allows you to pick a time range which is used to pick a random time each day to post your birthday message. This randomness is useful to make the automation more natural.
- Uses intelligent grouping to make the list of birthdays easier to read.
- Has more pre-defined birthday messages.
- Looks better (in my opinion) because it includes your friends profile picture.
Let me just say, this is from quick inspection. I have not done extensive testing of this other application.
I guess it just depends on what you like. The Lite version of Best Wishes is also free and it has most of the features above.
Hope that helps. I appreciate the feedback!

Thanks!!!! .. Seems really nice application....

Thanks for answering my question. I'll give your app a run and share the link to the market with my friends as well........help spread the word..hahaha

much needed i too dont visit FB much and miss out on wishing bday wishes...thanks...

First off very nice app, good idea and nice clean interface.
Now one problem I have and tours that a lot of my friends don't have their birthday in the app but their facebook does, any reason you know of why this would be happening? I don't feel like going through and adding their birthday manually.
A feature request would be to be able to set a custom birthday message as a generic message and not just one for a specific contact, I like ascii art lol just too make it a but different when I post happy birthday
P.s. I have the paid version

[APP][1.6+] Track My Salary 1.1.5

Hi everyone!
This is my first app in the market (after I created some apps but didn't uploaded them).
This app used to track the salary of people who work on shifts.
As a teenager I was working in many different places and the number of shifts that I was working every month wasn't constant, so as my salary.
When I wanted to track my salary I needed to track it in Excel tables, which is very annoying!
So I created this app for people that are just like me.
Very simple! You create a workplace -> fill the salary field in the settings -> whenever you arrive to work you press check in and when you leave you press check out.
And to make it even simpler it even has a widget!
And you can also backup/restore your data, that you won't lose it (And can easily flash new roms on your device ).
So go on and install the app,
And if you have suggestions, feedbacks, bug reports and anything else you can tell me here/pm me/send an email to [email protected].
And you can also like the app's Facebook page and share it with your friends!

Thanks and enjoy this app!

just downloaded it and its a great app! i actually thought of doing this but never did lol
a request, as i dont get paid for lunch hours, is there a way to incorporate that into the app? saves me having to alter the hours i worked
Thanks ! great workk

Looks like a great app, but I think it would look better if you just did the background a solid color rather than those stripes.

checking this out now

Thanks a lot, I'm happy to hear that you like my app..

When you press check in, a toggle button that says "working" is revealed, when you press it, the text changes to "On break" and this time won't count on the final salary calculation. Enjoy!

Hey, I already tried but the app look very empty.. Maybe in the future I will add an option for themes for those who don't get along with this background..

this looks really handy, great idea. The current setup can really only handle my base pay because i have a somewhat complex pay plan.
I earn bonus amounts of cash for selling various things, can you make it so you can add on different amounts on different shifts?, I'd wanna be able to add that on after the fact or during the shift if it makes any difference.
If you wanted to go even farther out, adding some kinda system for handling commissions, like enter the dollar value for a given shift, and calculate a set percentage as commission to add to the hourly rate.

Hey beddess,
People already asked me about bonuses.. It will be added in the future..

cool, bonuses (we call them spiffs, special incentives) are the more important one i was asking for. I get those fairly regularly.
Commission comes into play less for me, i have to consistently do good all week; plus our commission system is complex enough system that i only dimly understand our plan. So, even if you jump on the idea it might be hard to model the plan.
I've been working a lot of slow shifts so with hourly + bonuses it'll model things pretty well for me.

Hey everyone!
After a long time, I've released a new version with some pretty cool new features!
You are welcomed to check the new version out and also Like the app's Facebook page.
You can ask questions, suggest things and share it with your friends!

Same on my HTC One S.. Just the white screen, and then it crashes..

Thank you for your feedback. I don't have any problems on my 4.1 Galaxy Nexus.
The good news: I also have that issue when running the app in an 4.0.x emulator
The bad news: I don't know, what's wrong there
I'll do some research on that and post here if I can adress the issue!

I have a few requests for your app.
First, I want to edit something I have created. Errors happen, and have to write it again is tedious.
Second, a resume of how much you have. If you got 20 dollars, it would say a 20 down there. If you add a 5 dollars expense, it would show 15 down there.
Third, It would be nice if you could separate the incomes and expenses in categories created by user. For example, I have R$ 27,90 to spend on calls for carries except mine (for my carrier is free of charge). Then I could create a category called: Phone. I would set this 27,90 and, using the last mentioned feature, I would have a control of how much I still can call. Another category would be for SMS + Data usage. It costs for me R$ 0,50 for each day you use each, and I have a R$ 10 limit per month. Then I would have a third category. I would like to keep control on how much i spend at my school to eat.
I think it's pretty good, the explanation, but if you need something else tp understand, let me know.

What could be nice is a use of barcode scaner, you scan some product and you put a price, then every time you scan it, you will have an expense of it
I don't know if i have explained well ...
Another feature that could be great is to have diferents accounts One for register the bank movements and another to our home money xP

1. yes, definitely essential
2. I also had that idea, maybe the app can display a notification if you've exceeded your limit
3. I think this is very special...maybe later

1. sounds like an idea, but the problem is the information gathering, what you really paid for the product, because it won't be the same amount in every store, you know?
2. This is already a bit implemented, when adding an entry you can choose wether it's cash or credit card for example

Ok thanks, sounds great, hmm ohh but it can ask you if the prize is correct no? For example, you go to the shop, for buy, the first time you scan everithin you buy with the prize and the next time you go, if you scan the chips, the cocacola..., the app suggest you to put it as expenses
Like if the app reemember recurring expenditures from the past

I just re-downloaded it, and it looks great. I love the style and how it feels, but I do have some suggestions for you, if you get to develop it more.
1) Have accounts - I would love to be able to put my different bank accounts, gift cards, etc. on this, and track how much money I have left in each. Make it so I can put a starting amount on each account, and then subtract from there. Also to make special note of: transferring money between accounts. This was something I ran into with my project a while back.
2) Receipts - It has always been a goal of mine to be a better record keeper. As such, I would love to be able to take pictures of receipts and either upload them to a service for cloud storage or have them linked to from my SD card. This way I can back them up to my computer at home every once in a while and make sure I have everything when tax time comes.
3) While I'm at it, making it so that two users can share the same account... that would be amazing. Joint checking accounts are awesome for couples, but not if they don't both know what's going on.
4) Backups - I don't want to college months of data simply to have it wiped out if my phone goes south. Allow me to backup to my SD card, or, better yet, sending the data in an email so it can be backed up on any computer I have access from.
5) Statistics - We can track our money, and where it goes, but unless we can analyze our spending patterns, we can't see where we need to go in the future. Having graphs and charts would make this really nice to have. You already have the categories all set up, so getting the statistics (and statistics per account) setup shouldn't be too much more.
I have been trying to develop a reliable solution like this using PHP, MySQL, and jQuery for about a year now. The sad part is that I can't interact with the phone's camera like I want to, to allow me to capture receipts. I guess what I'm saying is, I'd love to help you out on the back-end stuff if you ever need it. I'd love to get this kind of project up and running, as I think it can help a lot of people in a lot of ways. Oh, and have you thought about uploading this to Google Play? Are there any limitations holding you back from doing that? I admire what you're doing, and think it's great that you are putting your talents to such a great use. We all need to be more financially savvy, and this is a great tool to help that.
Thank you for your hard work.

Hi m.ark,
thank you for your nice feedback!
Except your thrid point I think everything would be implementable - I also updated the "features-to-come" in first post (thanks to all the others for the great ideas!!)
Your third point is very hard to implement, but I keep an eye on that topic!
A vision is, that one is able to completely manage that stuff via a web interface, if the data is uploaded to google drive for example. Maybe in a late state we can think about collaborating on this thing?!
Regarding the Google Play thing: At the moment I'm not willing to spend the 20$ for the developer license if the app has not even a minimum of possible features implemented - a long-term-goal is definitely publishing this app to Play Store.

BETA 3
Just released and uploaded BETA3 - check the changelog and have fun

Beta 3 looks good, and runs smooth. I love the backup and restore option. It will be a real saver.
One thing I noticed: if you are at the home page, the only drop down from the menu is for backup and restore, but if you are in the backup and restore tool, the drop down menu lists only "Settings" but doesn't do anything. Just a small bug. Maybe have it go back home since there's no way to do that right now other than hitting back?
Once again, thank you for the awesome app. Keep us up to date on how you're doing, it'd be fun to see the progress you're making. Don't make it a chore, though, that's for sure.

How do you change the currency for this?

[APP][2.2+][Free] Automated Menu Planner w/ DashClock Extension

I've lurked around here for a number of years but this is my very first post.
Hello! How do you do?
Ok now that the pleasantries are out of the way ... :laugh:
This app was an idea suggested by my wife. She wanted to prepare meals for a month so she could trick me into cooking them on a regular basis. Fail. Diving through her recipe books/websites was cumbersome and she eventually backed off of that due to the time requirement of planning the menu ... any maybe my reluctance to cook them hahaha.
Enter, the automated menu planner. It automatically plans dinner entrees on a weekly, semiweekly, or monthly basis. It learns what you like and creates your menu with other recipes that you may enjoy.
Here is the list of features thus far :
- Automatically planned dinner entrees
- Automatically populated and groomed grocery list.
- Filter recipes containing disliked ingredients.
- A DashClock extension that shows today's entree on the home/lock screen (Android 4.2+)
- Simple UI for tablets and phones.
- Optionally notifies you when it creates a new menu plan.
- Free (w/ads)
There are many more features to come. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Since i'm not at the magic/10 post limit yet, search the Google Play Store for Automated Menu Planner (org.doors.sliding.amp). I'll update the post with a direct link once I pass the limit.

Looks interesting. Here is your link:

Of course, and I will give this a go soon. In a month I lose my job and take on the cooking for myself and my wife, and we are both indecisive when it comes to dinner, so I can see something like this really helping me make those tough decisions.

Wish you all the best and I hope everything works out for you.

Updated to v 1.1.
Fixed a few bugs. Touched up the help screens.
Got tired of the text on the startup screen so I replaced it with a comically large icon. I might find something more appropriate for that area later.

I'm riding the DashClock hype train . I've added an extension to my app that shows today's planned entree on the lock/home screen for Android 4.2+.

My First App! Multiple Timer App

I've been a member on XDA for many years, but usually just for rooting and flashing ROM's and stuff. 3 months ago I started to learn some Java and then moved on to Android. I now have a few apps in the play store, but this is the first one I feel is worth a post. Please give me any feedback, but also be kind, it's my first real app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidandyuk.kitchentimer
Add multiple items, the time they need to cook for and optionally how long before the meal will be finished they need to come out. If needed you can have items set to finish before or after other items.
You can have timers run together, or one after the other (parallel or serial) allowing you to set everything up in advance and just start them all up. Ideal for your Sunday roast!
When you've constructed a setup that you will use move than once, save it to be recalled at any time by selecting it from the menu.
Tap an item to pause it's timer and any that start after it or tap the pause button to pause them all.
Get notified when an item needs to start cooking and when an item is done.
The ideal app for planning and cooking your Roast Dinner or any other complicated meal!

If you think it's kinda handy, please help a new dev out by dropping me a review
If you find bugs, please post here. I'm a one man operation and I can't lie, it's not been tested in use a whole lot... (I don't do a lot of cooking!) At one point I had a bug where I couldn't move the timer slider for an item. I changed the max timer in settings and haven't been able to replicate it. If you have the bug, let me know, but try changing the maximum timer length in settings.
Thanks for your time!
