User Reviews

Users largely value Hip as a reliable reminder tool with strong personalization options and a pleasant, easy-to-use interface. It’s praised for long-term usefulness and responsive updates. However, multiple reviews cite aggressive ads and free-tier limits that push subscription, plus serious reliability problems after updates (data loss, duplicates) and occasional crashes. Some also report notification issues. Overall sentiment is mixed, with strong positives for features and support but notable frustration over ads and monetization.

Pros

Reliable birthday reminders with advance notice that help users stay organized
Strong personalization and sharing options (photos, custom messages, cards, social sharing) with a fun balloon reward
Long-term usability and consistency (used for years by many users) and generally positive updates
User-friendly design and easy setup, with positive feedback on support and ongoing improvements
Cute hippo-themed UI that users enjoy

Cons

Aggressive and intrusive ads in the free version, with frequent interruptions
Free tier limitations that push users toward subscribing to add more birthdays
Data integrity issues after updates (data loss, duplicates) and occasional crashes/crashes on startup
Notifications reliability concerns (some users report missed or irrelevant reminders)
Monetization frustration (perceived push to pay to remove ads)

it lt me pick some b days from contacts which was nice, but then wouldn’t let me add any more because i reached my free limit ( i was at about 5 or 4 contacts) then it was making me pay a subscription to add any more which was about $20 a month.

Only lets you add 5 birthdays before wanting to charge you. Not a good deal in my opinion. No lifetime price either. I’m not looking for more subscriptions.
