Birthday Wish app review: Facebook birthday management
Introduction
If you have a lot of Facebook friends and struggle to keep up with birthdays falling on every other day then Birthday Wish - Facebook birthdays calendar & reminder might be just the iPad app you need to keep on top of your social obligations.
The best iPad apps for Facebook
I can’t personally imagine having so many legitimate friendships on Facebook to really require an app like this, but if you feel it will come in useful then I think you should find it to be smooth in operation and very easy to use.
Never Forget a Birthday Again
This is an app in the Social Networking category of the App Store that you can use to import all of your Facebook friends’ and iOS Contacts’ birthdays within a matter of seconds, sending messages and announcements to multiple contacts at once if required.

Once you’ve imported all of your contact information you’ll be able to set up reminders so that you receive Push notifications when your friends’ birthdays are approaching, so you’ll no longer have any excuses for forgetting!

As the name would suggest, Birthday Wish - Facebook birthdays calendar & reminder also allows you to see your upcoming birthdays on a calendar if you prefer to have a visual reference, and posting a message to your friends’ timelines can be done in a matter of seconds.
