Candles App Reviews
Well conceived and long overdue app for ical and birthdays. Easy to use... and effective. It has saved me a ton of time... and free? I would gladly pay for it. Its a winner! Impressed with this developer as well... again... thanks a bunch.
I do not like on my mac
doesnt work well at all like it shows on the app screen
As a former Palm user, I have been looking for something that would automatically populate the Ical on my calendar on my Imac and Iphone with birthdays and anniversaries from my contacts. Since Ical will only populate birthdays, and not anniversaries, from contacts, I was desperately looking for a solution. I have to remember a lot of peoples anniversaries. I found this Candles application and it works like a charm. I turn off my birthdays calendar and only use Candles. It populates all birthdays and anniversaries into Ical and then my Iphone. Perfect! I previously tried another application which created a whole new calendar which was difficult to use. This candles app puts the dates in my existing Ical. This works for me since I really like the existing calendar on my Mac and Iphone. Thank you Candles!
Im terrible about keeping track of birthdays, so this nifty app keeps me in line. As someone who didnt really use my macs address book, before, the only learning curve was making sure to include "birthday" as one of the default entries in the address books settings. Once thats set, Candles takes care of the rest! Thanks for the creation!
Its hard to get the year to get the year to be accepted in address book. Im not sure if that is a problem with address book or candles. The age doesnt always show on ical. Thats what I want it to do. Its a good thing it was a free app. Im still looking for something to help me keep up with grandkids birthdays and ages.
Maybe it is because I am on a Mac. But it doesnt take any dates from my ical or address book, even if I make one of my defaults,"birthday". Very disappointed. Glad it was free - I will keep looking
My stock has really risen over the last year because I never forget anyones birthday or anniversary. Customer support is very quick. My only wish is that it would analyze relationships and only put up one anniversary reminder for a couple. Thanks, Cocoa Sublime, for this great little app.
I ended up not liking this app because it didnt sync with my iCal. I has also synced with my Reminders app which I use all the time and really messed up its function which I hate. Ive tried removing the app and its folders, but it must have some hidden files. Any attempts to contact Candles support just comes back to my own email address.
Just what the doctor ordered…and it’s free!
Just looking to add anniversary notifications in mac calendar? This is your baby.
