Chinese Birthdays 2.17.3

The application offers a comprehensive solution for tracking birthdays and significant events according to the lunisolar Chinese Calendar. Users can easily maintain a personalized list of important dates, with the option to seamlessly integrate converted dates into their device's current calendar year.

Notably, the app simplifies the process of remembering key holidays such as Chinese New Year. Users can create an entry for this event, which marks the first day of the first month in the Chinese Calendar, and set a calendar alert for it. This functionality can be replicated for any other lunar dates of personal significance.

While iOS has supported Chinese Calendars since version 8, users face limitations with its native calendar app, as it only allows for lunar events to be designated as contacts’ birthdays. This results in all created events being titled "Person's Birthday," which can be less than ideal for users requiring more specificity.

This application stands out by simplifying the management of essential birthdays and events in a singular interface, allowing users to label entries according to their preferences. The interface is both elegant and powerful, featuring an intuitive search function that facilitates quick access to existing events across various calendars.

Key features include:

• Effortless date conversion between the Chinese and Gregorian Calendars
• Chinese dates displayed in red, with Gregorian dates shown in grey
• Customization options for maintaining a list of birthdays/events, adhering to either calendar system
• The ability to save this customized list to a specific calendar on the mobile device, including options for specifying start year, end year, and alerts
• Alerts can be set up to 30 days in advance for significant dates requiring extra attention
• A dedicated search function allows users to find, edit, or delete events across their calendars
• Search capabilities for events created by this app solely, all events in a default calendar, or all calendar events

Special thanks are extended to Pandora Lee and Tracy Lee for their contributions to the Chinese translation.
