hip: Birthday Reminder App
authentic ratingA single-purpose app: it reminds you of birthdays and manages that reasonably well until it updates. After certain updates notifications stop arriving, imported contacts disappear, and the postcard feature breaks. The core works, the periphery does not.

About the rating
Store rating 4.68 with a text average of 3.41 and 16 of 40 reviews with complaints about deleted reminders, lost contacts, and the 5-entry limit. The gap is noticeable but reviews are vivid and specific. No sign of manipulation.
Strengths
What users love
- Automatically pulls birthdays from contacts. Countdown to the event is visible right away. Customizable sounds and greeting templates make life easier for people who struggle to remember dates.
Weak spots
What users hate
- Notifications go silent after updates with no visible reason. The app independently removes people from the list. A limit of five contacts in the free tier makes the app useless for most users.
Who it is for
People who want to remember the birthdays of close ones and are willing to pay for it, provided notifications work reliably.
