BDayCal Synch for Facebook Birthdays app for iPhone and iPad
**Since iOS4.0 You can get TRUE calendar syncing.***
***Check out the latest version***
Never forget a birthday again! Easily sync your Facebook friends birthdays to your native phone and computer calendar. Now your phone will remind you of important days with no need for a constant internet connection like simliar "push"- based apps. Go back to the app any day (like when your calendar reminds you) to check birthdays for that day and post directly to your friends wall.
Download today...updates with new features coming soon.
How it works in 4 simple steps:
1) Login and allow Facebook permissions
2) Press "Find and Sync Birthdays" to bring up a list of all your friends and their birthdays. Sort the list by First Name, Last Name, or Birth Date. Choose a Calendar if you want to target a particular one.
3) Check the friends you want to sync and press "sync!"
4) Come back to the app when your calendar reminds you to quickly post on friends wall for that day.
Compare to competition:
This app places the birthdays automatically into your native calendar. Does not require an internet connection like "push" and shows up on your calendar unlike "local notifications." If you want your friends birthdays on your calendar with subsequent notifications, stay away from apps that advertise these methods for notification.
Facebook Security Tips:
If you find that none of your friends are showing their birthdays, there is a problem with your Facebook security allowing permissions for the app to read special information. Go to Facebook Privacy settings >> Applications, Games, and Websites >> Remove "Birthday and Anniversary Calendar". Re-run the app on your phone, and Re-login. You will then be able to allow this app to read birthdays. Please email me if you are having trouble before ranking the app.
Beyond building this app based on public APIs Kuhlmanation LLC has no company affiliation with Facebook.
Pros and cons of BDayCal Synch for Facebook Birthdays app for iPhone and iPad
BDayCal Synch for Facebook Birthdays app good for
Does what it says. I wont be missing friends birthdays anymore
App is working beautifully on iPhone 4! Would like to have an EDIT option.
I mostly go on facebook to see birthdays and send wishes. Facebook mobile I cant see them. No more worries! Thank you for this app!!!
Latest update fixed my crashes... Now it works like it says. Really cool.
This app is great. I heard that Michael B. Jordan uses it, too.
Did what it says, which is great seeing as how the iPhone FB app is completely lame on birthdays.
Although useful only at install time, a "check all" feature would be nice. I only have 150 friends, but I have friends with thousands, and it would be PAINFUL for them to set up first time.
Also, I hope the app is smart enough to help me find friends birthdays when I add new friends. Id worry about duplicating ones already in my calendar.
Some bad moments
Worked at first really good then week later only says error waste of money!!!
With 700+ friends it would be nice to have a "check all" option. Otherwise great app. Ill change it to five stars after that is added
It really should put the birthday in the all day field or at least give that option. Also would be great to sync in your contacts. Ok. But dont like having to pick a specific time.
bought this app. And so far when I go to post a comment its crashes! Hope it gets fix quick! Which its been months and no improvement. Wish I bought the other Bday app!! I want to delete this app but since I paid for this crap Im waiting for a update!!
says do date given for lots of my friends, but when i look on facebook they are listed???
Not sure I should have paid for this. Although the concept is great, I cannot get the post review portion to work. It kicks me off every time. Also just accessed it today and it brought up an error. Had to logout and login again. Seems too buggy to have to pay at this point. Hope its fixed soon.
