HappyDayz! at App Store analyse

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.
