There is a new version, see first post.
Now time for widget.
As promised, widget on board.
Hi Looks to be a promising app. I used to rely on calendar widget and manually looking for birthdays. I will test this app and let you know.
How about battery life? Does it run any service continuously??

It doesn't run in background. Widget is automaticaly refreshed once a day by system alarm (as well as reminder). So it's battery safe .
nice app, one suggestion is to be able to read/load events from a fbcal export
http://www.fbcal.com/
If it can save/load that url periodically that would be even better
Ha, love the lineage 2 icon!

There is a new version, see first post (major changes: Facebook sync).
great app!
thanks for ad-free option!
At one point, changing external language has started to fail - fix available in new version.
Facebook synchronization don't work

It could be. Not all your facebook friends has birthday set. I guess not all exists in your phone contacts (in current version synchronization doesn't create new contacts). And rest may have already set a correct birthday date.
So, there is nothing to do.
I check my contacts and i see birthday on my Facebook contact. (Only day and month)
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
And new version again. Fix only. See first post.

This sounds like an interesting app. I have a few questions:
The main difference in free vs paid is the ability to manage lists, could you please explain what this means
The app can sync both gmail & facebook birthdays...does this mean that the facebook birthday information can be imported into your gmail contacts info
In a previous post you mentioned that the widget is updated once daily, will this app run in the background without having the widget active

In paid version you also can:
- add/modify/delete birthdays, anniversaries and custom events for gmail contacts (also with additional info like icon for custom events)
- maintain own (not synced with gmail contacts) database of various events

Yes. Currently this work only for existing gmail contacts. Unfortunately for dates without years syncing with gmail doesn't work (you will have this date on device but not in gmail account)
In a previous post you mentioned that the widget is updated once daily, will this app run in the background without having the widget active

No. It never works in the background all the time. It is activated:
- at boot time (to refresh reminder),
- at reminder time (if was set),
- just after midnight (if widget is active).
Always the short time needed to collect events.
Couple of follow up questions:
In paid version you also can:
- add/modify/delete birthdays, anniversaries and custom events for gmail contacts (also with additional info like icon for custom events)
- maintain own (not synced with gmail contacts) database of various eventsDoes this mean that if the event (birthday, anniversaries, etc) isn't already stored with the gmail contact you can not add an event to the gmail contact through the free version of the app? Ex. If I wanted to an say an anniversary I would have to modify the gmail contact info first before it would show up?
No. It never works in the background all the time. It is activated:
- at boot time (to refresh reminder),
- at reminder time (if was set),
- just after midnight (if widget is active).
Always the short time needed to collect events.Correct me if I am wrong but will notifications only be presented if you tell the app to remind you? After installing and syncing will it auto notify me of all the events for a contact or do I have to go into the app and for each contact say remind me of the specific event?
New Question:
What does the app sync against? Is it syncing all gmail contacts and all facebook contacts that have an event entery or is it syncing against only the contacts that are displayed in your addressbook on the phone? If it is the later can you go in and manually add contacts from facebook or gmail that aren't displayed to the app so that notifications of their events will be displayed?

Thanks,

I like it so far ... except for the ads
Some things I would like ...
a) an option to lock labels so that they cannot be viewed without a pin/password/pattern
b) an option to delete in-built labels or to rename them (I do not want labels such as personal, ideas)
c) an "all notes" view where in all the notes are visible on the opening screen (except those falling under "locked labels" mentioned in (a) above),
I look forward to the option to sync with Google Drive and .... if possible sync with Google Keep (can be synced with keep so that we can even update notes through the PC?).
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'll implement these for the upcoming release.
once again thanks for using it.
Cheers,
Murali
