HappyDayz! App Reviews

The original app with the same name that ran on the Palm was quite powerful. I wrongly assumed that this would be the same. While it does gather all Birthdays/Anniversaries from all contacts at one place, it does not parse Notes field for predefined patterns (like the original Palm app did). This makes it hardly more useful than Calendar and groups. Ability to put a bunch of dates in one contact would be really neat since you can create one entry for say an entire family (kids birthdays, anniversaries etc)

After waiting for over a year (since iPhone launch and switching from PALM) I finally found one of my alltime favourites REBORN here at the iPhone: HAPPYDAYZS! Within a single touch it gives you all birthdays and anniversaries in a beautiful, simple user interface. Don´t miss any birthdays from your friends and brothers and sisters (in law)! - get this app, you won´t regret it! Still not as powerfull as the original PALM application, but the author is very keen to add a few more things. Thanks for an outstanding iPhone app!!!

Just what is says....IT READS entry dates FROM contact/address book. No options for DIRECT entry from application itself.

Right now the app scans the whole contact list and pulls out all of the bdays/dates and displays them, regardless of how far out the event is. Obviously, knowing that someones bday is 200 days from now is useless information for me and just adds "noise" to the list of records. To the developer.......please add filters to only display contacts with events that are within xx number of days (make xx configurable). i have a lot of contacts with a lot of dates and this would help me focus on only those contacts whos bdays are within the next xx days. if you implement that feature, this would be an above average app. thanks.

I really enjoy the interface of this app. Its clean and simple. The only thing I would like to have as a feature is the ability to add birthdays and anniversaries beyond the Address Book entries. I have a lot to keep track of and usually many are more than the one entry (like one family as 4 children) that the Address Book provides. Also, it would be great to have an alarm that allows a warning that a birthday or anniversary is coming. In this hectic life, I need all the reminders I can get.

Great application with potential. Allows Quick Views as to upcoming birthdays. Would like to see other events that can be added. It would be nice to have All upcoming events in one app.

This is a great tool, does just what it says it will do. It exceeds the old Palm app in appearance. But it lacks the ability to sort by Name, Date and Age (currently it only sorts by Date). Give me that, and you get your 5th star. :) And thanks for the great app! I have one other minor point to make, but it should not be taken as a negative comment on this particular tool, as other apps suffer from the same problem. I wish apps would have a "Settings" button in them to either take you directly to Settings off the Home Menu, or take you directly to that programs settings. Its a little annoying to have to exit out to the menu, select Settings, select the app you were just in, and so on. And if you were doing that to change Sort options (please! please!), it would painful indeed to keep switching back and forth.

Great app; would like to see an application icon badge gives you a visual constant reminder throughout the day and is updated each time you run the application

This app needs to have a few options in looking forward or even backwards. Say a 30, 60, 90, and 1 year period. It also needs to allow to enter data like a person has an Uncle and Aunt. You can not enter both Birthdays in one calender contact and I do not need them listed twice just for their birthdays or anniversary. Make these two changes and quickly before anyone one else and you will earn your money for sure.

Nice try but STILL missing the alarm feature many, in prior reviews, have found noticeably absent. I was hoping this would be the replacement app for DateMate which I had on my Palm for years. Having multiple alarms for each event allowed you the ability to receive an alarm, for instance, a week ahead in time to mail a card, and another on the day of the event. Oliver would be well served to look closely at the DateMate application and emulate its features. The alarm feature alone would put this app at the top of its peers in this category. Many are crying out for this feature, is anyone listening? If you’re going to be in the game, play to win!

I really like this app but still forgot a bday because I didnt open the app today. I wish it had a symbol (badge) appear when an event is on the current day as a reminder to open the app and see whose bday it is.

Like the new features (Zodiac signs are cute). Could you consider putting in Holidays and alarms? Everything else is great!

I too am an old time Palm user and find this to be very similar to the one I once used. I feel I am a very picky person yet find some of the gripes about this app a little over the top. I feel it has a great interface and gets the job done. With that said, having some kind of reminder/alarm would push my rating to a 5. I guess having the ability to add to your calendar would please some, however, I feel it would just clutter my already crowded calendar. The ability to instantly call/text/email someone straight from the app is what I think is the best part of the application. Im very satisfied with "HappyDayz!"

It is worth the money. It works great!

With push functionality, makes a great app for reminders.

This is a nice app that works as advertised. It scans your contact list for birthdays (and other dates if you choose) and puts them in list order, starting with the current date. The only thing I would like to see added to it is some kind of alert system. If that were included, it would be a 5 star app. UPDATED: this app has continuously been improved. Definitely worth the five stars!!!

thank you, the push notifications are really a great touch!

This is a really nice birthday reminder application with many choices about how you would like for it to work. I have tried a competitor, which is nice enough, but without the customization possibilities in this one. Push notifications are a nice addition, and they work as advertised. Well worth the price.

This app is really cool!

The birthdays notification is great but the anniversary info is not useful to me. Perhaps I need to use it more to change my mind.
