At the start, the app syncs key dates from your contacts like birthdays and anniversaries. You can also manually add in an event. The results are then shown in an easy-to-use list that even provides a search function.
To help keep track of all the special events without even having to open the app, there are a wide variety of custom home screen widgets to use.
And the app has recently been updated with some great new features. First up is a updated design that looks great.
You can now also edit a special date by pressing and holding or swiping. You can change the icon, date, or name of the event.
All of your favorite contacts now stand out in the app with a glow on both the event icons and home view.
The app has also added WhatsApp support so you can quickly contact friends and family to celebrate their special day. That joins the native Messages support already available.
There is also a new countdown feature to help you visualize how close you are to a special day.
Dateminder is a free download now on the App Store. It’s just for the iPhone.
There’s an optional Dateminder+ subscription available for $0.99 per month, $9.99 yearly, or $24.99 for the lifetime of the app. Subscribers will be able to unlock notifications, sync with a calendar, use WhatsApp support, and enjoy all of the widgets.
