Thx for the app. I didn't try it yet, but am wondering if it's implementable with the calendar, so one can see the birthday of the current day in agenda so to speak, or do you have to open the app in order to find out if someone has a birthday for a certain day?

If you manage that the birthdays will show up as calendar entries, we can use M2D_Today to show it in any Manila tab with Calendar+, for example in Operator tab or TV tab.

Great app. If you could possibly integrate it with the Manilla Calendar app, that would be brilliant. Also, since a lot of my friends have their birthdays taken from their Facebook account, is it possible to take their birthdays from the Sense Contacts app?

Although I have .Net CF 3.5 installed I get the error that I should install "NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab".

thanks dude this is a very nice must have app.

there are a few details i dont like. Is it possible to improve them?
for example the app shows no facebook contact picture or it looks a litte bit better with a gap between the contact picture and the written text.
and a supporting with app2date would be great.

thats it for now Merry Christmas to you :)

Very good app.

May I make a few suggestions?

I think there should be a space between the contact photo annd the text to its right. Text to close to phot.

I think you should change the word 'for' to 'in' so instead of (for 2 days) it would say (in 2 days) which makes more sense.

When tapping on the birthday entry it should take you to HTC contact entry and not MS contact entry.

A suggestion on tapping a birthday entry, a pop up menu would appear with the following options:

Send Birthday SMS
Send Birthday Email
Call Birthday Contact
Open Contact


Thanks for the great app!

Suggestions 1 and 3 were what I thought after launching the app.

As for the last suggestion, it is a good idea, but if a tap on a Birthday entry takes you right to the HTC contact page, you got all the options right there : call him/her, send a text message, an e-mail, ... So no pop-up necessary.


And it works on the Touch HD :)
Keep up the good work.

I can provide the French translation.

    With the HD2, you can link contacts to facebook profiles. The birthday is grabbed from their facebook profile, however Manila Birthday doesn't recognize this. Is there a way to recognize the birthday fields that were pulled from facebook?
