Ratings and Reviews
Excellent diary, love the multiple diary function!
I started using this about 2 weeks ago. I love it’s simple features. I like that it slides to a side bar out of sight until I swipe it over, unlock it with my face, then go directly to add an entry. Simple, clean with no fussy stuff. I track treatments for an autoimmune disease. I then thought, I wish I could write a different diary for helping me track the foods I eat for my weight loss. Low and behold, it has a book icon, where you can create different diaries. Yea! Just what I was looking for! So now it satisfies that need. I didn’t want to write my treatment and the foods I eat into the same diary, which would not be conductive for me to quickly check when my last treatment was.
This diary also supports backing up to my iCloud, and I can put images in the entries. I haven’t done that yet, but it’s a convenient feature.
So thank you support team for making a really nice app that I don’t need to subscribe to.
I LOVE THIS APP
Got the app like 30 minutes ago, I went on it right away and type on the app. I gotta say there wasn’t much who got this app but I seen the top review and they said it’s a great app for a dairy, and they were right!
This app is literally ad free?! Are you kidding me the developer is the best. I get to finally type my personal things on this app for my mental health and so much more. You can express your mood and the weather with emojis. You can even add your flies, photo or take a picture to add it on to the diary. You can even change the theme colors of your choice when you’re using dark mode and light mode, yes it has dark mode I’m really happy with this app. There’s so much more to it!! I will continue to be using this app just because I am very impressed! Thank you developer for this amazing Diary app you created.
Been loving this app for a long time!
I started using this app I-don't-know-how-many years ago when my husband's vascular dementia was beginning to take more control of his mind. I needed a safe, simple place to write down my feelings/thoughts/etc. that he couldn't gain access to. But I didn't want to pay for it. This app popped up in my search and I've been using it ever since. I liked that it's simple to use, easy to "lock", and even had some cute metadata and the ability to attach photos from my phone's photo app. My husband got his angel wings last year so I no longer need to worry about him somehow getting access to it; but I do still like using it, especially on my new-to-me iPhone 11 with the Face ID. I just hope it won't get wiped away with iOS17* updates.
