Days review

Days keeps things visual. Each event fills the screen with a photo, and you swipe sideways to move between them, which makes a short list of trips and birthdays quick to browse. It counts down to future events and up from past ones, repeats birthdays and anniversaries yearly, monthly or weekly, and sends reminders about how far away an event is. Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets keep the next date in view, and there is an Apple Watch app. The US App Store lists a Monthly Plan from $0.99, yearly plans from $2.99 and Lifetime Pro at $12.99 or $14.99, so the cheapest entry price on this list belongs to Days. The weakness is clarity: the listing does not say which features the free version leaves out, and the many price points look like different offers for different users. It has 4.8 stars from about 13,000 ratings. There is no iPad or Android version in its listing.
