DroidGOX Widget: Birthday Has Reached 5,000 Installs

After just a few months and even less than a year, my widget app called DroidGOX Widget: Birthday had surpassed 5,000 installs.

While the number of activations or devices using the app is not the same, it still made me feel good knowing that users opted to try and check out my birthday widget.

It may not look to be the best of a user interface considering that I am not into graphics that much unlike when I was still in college, but the birthday widget actually does its job pretty well.

It sends an alert notification whenever one of your contact's birthday is up. You can then either send a text message, call or email your friend.

Simply widget. And it is free! The download link is located in the right sidebar of this blog.

Thank you to all the users who installed and uses this app.

DroidGOX Widgets Install Counter 100-500

Yey! Quite happy that my birthday widget has an install counter range of 100-500 now. Feels good really. If you have not installed it in your Android phone, please do so.

The widget simply shows birthday celebrants in your contact list and enables you to either email, text or call.

DroidGOX Widgets: Birthday Available For Free

I have finally released my second Android project in the Android Market and it is available for free. I made a birthday Android widget for this one and the user interface is pretty simple.

Every midnight, the widget checks if the user's contact list has birthdays matching the current day. If there is/are, then they will appear together with the contact's avatar plus 3 visual buttons in green color where the user can either text, call or send an email to the birthday celebrant.

If the contact has more than 1 phone number and/or email address, a popup window gets displayed asking the user to select which one to use.

Feel free to give this a download. And do leave a rating and comment regarding the widget. Thanks!

Note: There may be cases wherein the last update of the widget may not be on time every midnight. This can be because the Android system stopped the service if the phone is low on memory.

Still, the widget does run every 30 minutes to ensure that the service is up and running all the time. Click the icon on the right to go to the widget's page in the Android Market.
