Jubilee for iPad: Remember Birthdays, Send a Card! Review and Giveaway!

In the digital era, remembering birthdays and sending a card shouldn’t be a pain in the butt. After all, if you’re not one to consistently refresh Facebook, you may feel awkward leaving a wall-post a week later saying, “Happy belated birthday dude!” And I do that quite often. But hell, I’m connected! And birthday’s should be easier and more personal than Facebook tracking and a wall-post. So what does one use to manage these important events? Why, Jubilee of course.

Jubilee for the iPad is a gorgeous birthday tracker which integrates with your iPad’s Contacts (address book). Yanking birthday info wherever it may find it, you can use Jubilee’s push notifications to remind you whose birthday it is today, and that you should them your blessing. And what better way to honor your best friend’s adult days than with a card! But it’s the digital age, and who has time to browse the grocery store for something mildly funny that’ll only be read once? Send them something a little more personal with one of Jubilee’s twelve digital postcards.

Jubilee’s selection is both absolutely gorgeous and fantastic; there’s something for everyone in here, from kids to adults, men and women, that should gratify anyone’s peculiar taste. When you’re finished writing your personal message, you can even sign the card with your finger; quite great if you ask me.

For $3.99 in the iTunes App Store, Jubilee is a wonderful way to get reminded of birth dates, and send your loved ones the perfect digital card that they won’t find anywhere else. In fact, we think this application would fit the bill for quite a few of you dear readers, so we’re giving away three copies. Check out the rules below for more information. *Thanks to Vemedio and Marfil for their participation: we think you got a good one!

*A quick disclaimer! While Vemedio and Marfil sponsor our blog, in no way, shape, or form did it impact my thoughts or perception of Jubilee. I really think it’s a great application.

Giveaway

You not only shouldn’t have to worry about birthday reminders, but you should be able to add to personally recognize someone’s birthday in the most convenient way possible: email. Leave a comment below telling us why Jubilee is such a lust-worthy birthday calendar for you, why your current birthday management solution is failing, or if you’re ready to try something simple and elegant. The giveaway ends Friday, June 4th, so don’t delay! Thanks for reading MacStories, and good luck!
