Pros and cons of Occasions 3 - Reminders app for iPhone and iPad
Occasions 3 - Reminders app good for
Great app! I have used this only to sync my birthdays and anniversaries from my Contacts. I already get notified of someones birthday via facebook. If that person is special enough to me, then I add them to the Occasions app which will then also appear on my calendar.
I like how easy to use this app is. Absolutely a dream come true. I just wish I could change one thing. For it to also have the iCloud Sync feature. If they add it, then it would be even better.
I enjoy having a separate place outside of the calendar to see just birthdays and anniversaries for my contacts.
Although, it no longer supports FB sync & messaging from app. (And thats a FB thing):
After trying 5 other birthday apps this one is the best!
Imports all events from Contacts (birthdays & anniversaries, etc.), lists them in a very legible chronological order, separates them by month and allows you text or phone them from within the app. Different color themes are available and all pictures stay updated.
The alert choices in this are the best!!! For some friends, I only need notification same day and for others I want more notice for gift giving.
Keep it going! Nothing else compares.
I have had this app since version 1.0. It has saved my butt many times, helping me to remember birthdays and anniversaries. I also use it to remind me of meteor showers, special work events, etc.
It is easy to use, reliable and works exactly as advertised. I have recommended this app to many of my friends. Obviously I like it. I hope you will too.
Good straightforward functionality for remembering birthdays.
I bought the old one, was disappointed that they did not update that one. But for 99cents this is a handy app.
Some bad moments
Unfortunately no Facebook support on the iPhone.
The workarounds didnt help.
Please update
They dont say that the app dont synchronize with Facebook, only after you buy it and they dont answer your questions. I lost my money!
Not happy that I had to pay for the update the old one is much nicer.
I sent 3 email got no answer.

Ive just installed Occasions+ and followed instructions to download my existing records in my first Occasions App into Occasions+ and it didnt work. A total waste of $0.99 and a wast of time. Dont buy until the developer fixes this deficiency.
This used to be such a great app. Rather its precursor Occassions. Used to have an excellent integration with Facebook. No more. Silly me I upgraded to Occassions + thinking Id get the FB back but that it not the case. So dont waste your money. I need to find another app.
So disappointing. Was using occasions upgraded to the +. Such a waste. Wish I could have my old app back.
