Thank you agent86. Your feedback is appreciated. 1. The (null) is a bug and I will fix that in the next release. 2. If you don't turn off notifications, you will always be notified on the day of the birthday. The notify days before is an additional notification that you can receive. I will try to clarify this on the settings page. 3. The anniversary support sounds like a good idea. I'll try to add that to the next release.

In addition, I was thinking of adding notes to track birthday gifts to give a person. Do you think notes would be useful to you?

Thanks again for your feedback.

Number 2 sounds like the two stage reminders I requested, which is awesome. I need to go back in and alter my notifications now.

I very much await anniversary support. Fantastic!

I think your idea of a note for each entry could be very useful, though I'd prefer it be pretty open/generic. Like when I tap on the contact, under the buttons I get a box I can enter text in. That way you can use it for any purpose - gift tracking, party details, etc.

With any text entry, please enable/support the landscape keyboard if it isn't too much hassle. It's not a "sky is falling" thing to not have, but I just prefer to enter text with that way and it screams attention to detail.

One thing I've noticed with more usage is the iAd that appears when you enter into the details of a contact. That's just a pet peeve of mine for a paid app. Obviously I did not pay, so I'm not going to complain :-).

In a non-pro, or Lite, version I would keep the iAd where you have it now and even add another one at the bottom of the home screen and settings screen. For an app like this it isn't terribly intrusive, and if it's a free version you should get something for your effort.

If the iAds end up performing better cost wise than the 99 cent ad-free Pro version, maybe bump the Pro version up to $1.99 to compensate. I'm sure folks with actual app store experience could offer better advice in this area though.
