### 5/5 — Margie

*2024-06-17, version 22.3*

What a marvelous way to keep daily memories and to be able to add a photo is a bonus !! So glad you were inspired to create this journaling app!!! i so enjoy the convenience of adding notes and thoughts when sweet moments pop up!! keep using your creative abilities, you do good!👏❤️👏

### 4/5 — Pretty Great Journaling App

*2023-11-10*

It’s quickly become one of my favourite journaling apps because it is simple & pretty & does what I need it to do… It’s almost like sending a text message to oneself. They do have a premium option, but, I would want it to give me more control & flexibility when it comes to editing entries (I want to see &/or be able to edit the time), have the option of adding tags, creating separate journals (e.g. one for personal entries & one for work), have a more robust search, be able to skip to what I’m looking for without having to scroll through a thousand entries, easily esport to PDF or something for printing/saving, etc. Other that that, I really love it & can recommend it highly to anyone who either wants to get into a routine/habit of journaling daily (you can toggle on a streak counter if you so desire), or just wants to journal more regularly.

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2022-09-27, version 22.3*

Just one suggestion though, could it be possible for a reply feature to be added? Sometimes I think of something later or something relevant happens later that I would like to more directly connect with older memory posts. Thank you for the lovely app!! As an autistic person, it really helps to control my impulse of oversharing to other people.

### 5/5 — Nightly reflections

*2022-03-18, version 22.3*

I have been using this app to jot down a quick reflection. It’s been great to end my day with gratitude.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-03-07, version 22.3*

I have been using this app to track through pregnancy so I don’t forget big moments and I love that I’ll be able to look back and not forget any of the special memories!

### 5/5 — Perfectly simple

*2022-03-07, version 22.3*

Exactly what I want from a journal app. Makes it so quick to jot down quick memories and add a quick photo, then move on with my day!

### 4/5 — Great app but very limited

*2022-02-18*

I really liked how simple it feels and how nice it looks. Reminds me of a favorite app I ever had - Path social network. A delightful user experience. 

On a bad side, it’s very limited and it asks money for a very basic features - adding more than one picture to a post. At this time when app is new, featureless and there’s no guarantee author wouldn’t abandon it  after a few months - it’s really doesn’t make sense to jump stable and feature full DayOne.
