- Last 3 days

Unknown Year
As you know, you cannot add a date on the iPhone/iPod Touch without entering a year. But many women (not only) are very discreet with their year of birth. What can you do if you do not know the year? In this settings field you can define a year. In the screenshot example i defined “1900” as the "Unknown year". When you enter a birthday in the Contacts app, you can use the defined “1900” as the year and HappyDayz! recognizes it as a date where the year is unknown and handles it.
