Cake Day, my iOS app that reminds you once a year of your reddit cake day (birthday), has been updated with a new UI and iPad support.

Changes:

• Completely removed the hamburger menu. Apple discourages these and it didn’t work brilliantly, so I decided it would be best if it went
• Changed the app’s default font (now using Open Sans)
• Rewrite of the app in Swift. I hadn’t originally planned to do this as part of the update, but I wanted to see whether or not Swift could improve my programmer productivity. Overall I found that the amount of code that I had to write was similar - although I now have a lot more database could for dealing with SQlite.swift than I had before when using FMDB
• The app is now open source you can contribute or post issues at GitHub

You can download Cake Day for free from the App Store.
