Free, Fun and Facebook-friendly - Friends Birthday

[slitchfield]

Launched in the Ovi Store (as freeware) is 'Friends Birthday', a small app with a heart of gold - in that it will endear itself to you and you to your friends, as you seemingly remember (and do something about) all their birthdays. Using your Facebook information, Ewan has taken a look at Friends birthday in this mini-review - it's well worth a download.

Agreed, its a great free application. I discovered it last week whilst browsing the Ovi Store.

Like it and Facebook integration would've been well nifty for me rather than manually plowing through it when building my N97 contacts.

Small shout out for "Best Birthday for S60 5 th ed" a paid (£1.50) app on OVI store which once I'd manually updated my contacts with their birthdays saved me loads of time by integrating them into the S60 calendar something in my naivete I assumed would happen automatically in Symbian. Yes could've done it myself but £1.50 seemed reasonable trade off for hundred entries in Cal and it does have auto birthday message functions, not as slick or integrated into your Social Net as "Friends Birthday" but saved me some time and does integrate into the main S60 Calendar.

Yes, its applications that look simple enough with a yellow background and impressive joy.

Another freeware app that deals with birthdays is simply named: Birthdays

Birthdays lists birthdays from Contacts in chronological order and writes birthdays to the Calendar.
