Do you forget wishing people on their birthday or anniversary? Don’t be embarrassed; we are in the same boat. Let technology come to your rescue. There are several apps to help you remember dates with ease. In this article, I’ll be listing down some of the best birthday reminder apps for iPhone. Although iPhone’s Calendar has an inbuilt reminder feature, these apps will make life easier for you. Let’s dive right in.
What we considered before making this list
I made sure that these apps are good at what they’re supposed to do, reminding you of birthdays (and other important dates, for that matter).
Second, the user interface. It must be easier to set up reminders in a few taps. While I also tried to look for free apps, not all of them turned out to be great. Therefore, the list also includes paid ones with better features.
I also ensured that the apps had add-on features such as a countdown timer, notification-based, flexible reminders for more convenience. Some of these apps will remind you of the birthday in advance for you to plan a party or surprise.
