Birthdaybook Reviewnice, wth reservations - Version: 4.6, 11/15/2007 01:26AM PST

yes, new version is best yet, but there is stll a ways to go.
Well, for freeware, it really is quite excellent and so my criticism is more encouragement than complaint.
One deal breaker for me is that BirthdayBook isn't able to re-import dates from Address Book after initial setup. After that, if you have since added birthdays to Address Book then you still have to manually add those dates to BirthdayBook. To me, a pretty basic function, but a fairly obvious omission.
I would hope to see closer integration with Address Book and iCal in the future - use of Address Book database as primary database, export to iCal, and the ability for it to automatically generate alerts without the app having to be open.
I recommend it for basic use, especially as it is freeware, but a 5-star app it is not.
I'll keep watching.

Birthdaybook ReviewNew Version Is Best Yet - Version: 4.3, 2/2/2007 02:21PM PST

Rob DuToit has really turned out a sweet version with 4.3. Birthdaybook now easily searches your address book if it doesn't recognize the name of the person who's birthday or anniversary it is. This was great program before and it has just become significantly better.

Birthdaybook ReviewDon't need Mom anymore - Version: 4.2, 1/27/2007 01:33PM PST

This is a fantastic program. For 40-some years I have relied on my Mom to tell me when it is various relatives birthdays. Those days are over. Birthdaybook gives your Mom a break. It is simple to setup. Easy to use. This is a fantastic application written by a talented and responsive gentleman. When I ofund a few things that required attention it was dealt with promptly and politely. This is a piece of software I am happy to pay for.

I've been using this little gem of a tool for a couple of years and wouldn't want to be without it. I admit that I do keep all birthdata on iCal to begin with, but this little tool keeps me aware of all my birthdates, anniversaries, etc. perfectly! It's the best little tool I've found!

Birthdaybook Troubleshooting Report.Mac Account no longer needed - Version: 3.6.1, 10/15/2006 08:14AM PST

The problem I reported yesterday has been corrected.

It would be nice if the app would import a text file so that data from programs other than iCal and AddressBook could be imported.

Birthdaybook Troubleshooting Report.Mac account needed? - Version: 3.6, 10/14/2006 11:44AM PST

Dave Creek
When I try to download it or go to the developer's website, I get tranfered to the the .Mac web page. To go further I would have to log in as a subscriber, which I'm not. Has anyone else had this problem?

Excellent reminder, by far the best I've seen. The author was responsive when a bug was reported, and released fixes within days. Recommended!
