Features:
n’4get Reminder Pro is perfect for the Android user who either is prone to forget events and dates, or just has too many to remember! The app lets you collate and set all manner of events to ensure nothing is missed. Birthdays are perhaps the most obvious use and the app will gather birthday data from your contacts initially to begin your lists. This instance aside, you cannot otherwise import information into the app. If, for example, you could import Facebook birthdays, it would perhaps be even better in this regards.
That said, it’s not all about birthdays. Maybe you need to remember an anniversary, or an appointment to have your car serviced. Maybe you have a doctors appointment you cannot miss or a school play to attend. The app lets you effortlessly add all kinds of different appointments and will send you notifications and reminders when the event is due.
You can manage these events by filing them in one of a variety of different places; from birthdays, anniversaries, hobbies, finance, health, jobs and so on. You can even set the app to remind you about an important sports game coming up or even when you need to plant flowers in the garden- it really is what you make of it.
n’4get also boasts a smooth Holo design and choice of two themes; light and dark. The app comes with two homescreen widgets which will display a countdown of how many days are remaining before the event- great if you need to send a physical birthday card a few days before or ensure you have an hour or two off work to service your vehicle.
In many ways the app reminded me of Notif but you can set the app to remind you at certain regular intervals; minutes, hours, days, months and years. This means the app can factor in pretty much any event you may need reminding of. Need to check a dish you are cooking every 10 minutes? Have a regular doctors appointment? You can just add them to the app and they’ll remind you whenever you like.
