## Review summary

iDayLite is viewed as a simple, useful birthday/event reminder with a clean UI and manual entry options, including for non-contacts, with a free core version and upgrade path. However, update-related issues—birthdays turning into anniversaries and being hard to fix, crashes or failure to load after updates, and German localization with no easy English option—hurt usability for multiple users.

### Pros

- Simple, clear UI and easy to use.
- Useful for birthdays/events and does what it says.
- Allows manual entry including dates for non-contacts.
- Free core version with option to upgrade for additional features.

### Cons

- After updates, birthdays are shown as anniversaries and can’t be fixed (often requiring payment).
- App crashes or won’t load after updates.
- Localization shifts to German with no easy switch back to English.
