FAQs:

Where is my data stored?

All recordings are encrypted and securely stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS), while account credentials are segregated on DigitalOcean. Both adhere to strict, enterprise-level privacy and security compliance.

Does OpenAI use my recordings to train their AI models?

No. We have a GDPR-compliant agreement with OpenAI that prohibits them from using your data to train their models. Your audio journal transcriptions and analyses are processed securely and privately.

Can I disable the AI features?

Yes of course! We understand AI isn't for everyone so we created a Session Designer so that you can control exactly how your sessions look.

Who besides me can access my data?

Your entries are private. AudioDiary employees do not access your recordings or transcripts unless required by law (e.g., a valid court order). Third-party providers (AWS, DigitalOcean) follow strict security protocols and cannot access your data without legal mandates.

### 5/5 — Best Buy

*2026-08-10, version 4.4.24*

So simple and easy to use. Love to journal with my phone in the car.

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2026-07-10, version 4.4.23*

I enjoy recording my day, how you can upload pictures and especially the AI insight afterwards. I started with the therapist voice but recently tried all of them. I think life coach is my favorite but they are all good. As for the super critical one though… it gives you a warning beforehand how blunt it is and it won’t be good for everyone but I feel like it was the only voice that was critical. It’s not for me but I would love some of that critique added to the other models so there is a better mix. I like the look out for this because you did this but more understanding. For example I spoke about how today was an espionage nice day because I was so social at work. After battling with depression that was such a win for me. The super critical mood told me that the fact that I got derailed from work and spent most of my day yapping meant I still seek external validation and me unblocking my family member is me going back on my boundaries under the guise of familial connection. Obviously I knew it would be super critical but I would like the other voices to add in some of these more critical insights for a healthier balanced voice.

### 5/5 — Great Reflection

*2026-07-05, version 4.4.22*

I love this little app. I’ve been using it for quite a long time and I’ve recommended it to quite a few people. I appreciate that it has different perspectives and sometimes I want the voice that is the most stern or the strongest feedback and other times I do want it to sound like a friend or a counselor. I also appreciate that in addition to reflecting back what I’ve shared, and how it connects to things I’ve shared in the past year, I really like that it helps propose goals for me. Often, I don’t know what to do or how to act on what I’ve Journal and that can be really helpful.

### 1/5 — AI isn’t the answer

*2026-07-01, version 4.4.22*

The folks supporting this app are truly helpful when I’ve needed tech support. I know they have tried. And they have told me they can’t control the AI output. 
The technology behind this service is nascent and is unable to learn how to say my name correctly every time. One day it will say my name correctly and I have no way of telling it “yes! This pronunciation was correct, keep doing so.” The next day it will say my name incorrectly.
In the update a few days ago I noticed the app glitches now during the different voices that read the analysis. Sometimes it will read an entire analysis that is completely different from the text on screen. One voice will say my name correctly, say “Friend” and then the next voice, say “Business Guru”, will say it incorrectly. 
It’s very difficult to be frustrated with something I know can’t even be categorized as stupid because it is just software.
It’s a software I pay only $25 per year for. And for the first year it NEVER said my name incorrectly. 
In the last several weeks it has struggled so much. I also notice it gives inappropriate “advice” now. 
Like “drink 48 ounces of water before bed”. 
Or improper feedback based on my input. I would say something like I want to lose weight from 300lbs to 200lbs. It would then congratulate me on my goal of weighing 300lbs.
I also said that I want to forget some things and its analysis says that it’s proud of me for refusing to forget some things.
I don’t know what is going on. I’d gladly pay more for all these issues to be fixed. I just want it to go back to working like it did before.
I’d pay more because this app is cheaper than therapy multiple times a week. 
I used to recommend this app widely but won’t be doing that anymore.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2026-06-25, version 4.4.22*

Thank you for you and all you do in this program the opportunity to release let go and receiving step forward and breathing be part of this conscious stream and beauty and every moment thank you thank you thank you

### 5/5 — This is amazing and changed my life

*2026-06-05, version 4.3.13*

I've been using this app for a few years now, and it has genuinely been a game changer for me. It's helped me explore my thoughts, reflect on my experiences, and gain a better understanding of myself and my life.

What I love most is how simple it is to use. There are no unnecessary complications or distractions—just a straightforward way to capture your thoughts whenever they come to you. Despite its simplicity, it's incredibly effective and has become a valuable part of my personal growth journey.

Looking back on old entries and seeing how far I've come has been really powerful. If you're looking for an easy way to journal, reflect, and track your growth over time, I would highly recommend giving it a try.

### 5/5 — Easy and gives tips

*2026-05-24*

It’s great at listening. The tips they give based on what you say are useful. The feature to follow up on action items is handy. I have never faced problems.
