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

So far so good

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.

Great Reflection

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.

AI isn’t the answer

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.

Thank you

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

This is amazing and changed my life

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*****

This is the first diary voice up that I’ve keep across and is honestly really brilliant Emma glad I found it because it’s easier than my voice diary instead of writing time because it all Ulyses a lot of times. I find it hard to text so definitely and the else I like about it as you’re writing your diary voice your diary it’s true things and I actually tell you when you need help or what you should do and things like sick goals is brilliant. I give out like 25 stars 20 Star five stars that’s great thank you.

Easy and gives tips

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.

Best support

I love this safe place, where I can express myself and not be judged. I love set goals and see my progress. It helps me to be organized in life

Summary are Fantastic

I love how it takes what my journal said and restate it into almost 90% accuracy and has such insight to disclose goals that are pretty close time

Love the audio journal

I love the way the audio diary helps me to not only journal but to also make the connections from past sessions.

Thank you

This is an excellent app. It’s exactly what I needed to remember what all I did in the day and to help categorize many different topics and thoughts. I rarely, rarely ever buy an app. I’ve only had it for eight days and it’s worth every penny!!

BEST INTUITIVE AUDIO DIARY!

I absolutely love this app. It has become a part of my daily life. It has allowed me to gain better insight into my life and even my dreams. I cannot recommend it enough. Life changing in the most beautiful way.

Das Tagebuch, das auf mich eingeht.

Diese App ist genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Sie nimmt meine Einträge nicht nur auf und speichert sie für später, wie es bei den meisten Tagebuch-Apps der Fall ist. Stattdessen geht sie genau auf die Einträge ein, erkennt Herausforderungen und Probleme und macht Vorschläge, wie ich dafür sorgen könnte, dass es mir in der jeweiligen Situation besser geht. Zudem helfen mir die Zitate und Sprichwörter häufig dabei, anders über Situationen zu denken, die ich erlebt habe, sie aus einem anderen Blickwinkel zu betrachten. Daher sehe ich die App als einen digitalen Coach, was durch die gesprochenen Einträge noch verstärkt wird. Vielen Dank an die Entwickler, auch dafür, dass AudioDiary so barrierefrei gestaltet ist. Ich nutze VoiceOver und kann die App ohne Probleme nutzen. Aufgrund all dieser Aspekte habe ich mir nach langer Nutzung der kostenlosen Version gestern die Premium-Version geholt und bin sehr zufrieden. Bin mal gespannt, was noch alles kommt!


Update: Bei den letzten Versionen von AudioDiary habe ich gemerkt, dass die Barrierefreiheit der App langsam nachlässt. Zwar kann ich noch ohne Probleme Tagebucheinträge erstellen und auch auswerten, jedoch wird es schwer, sobald man nach einem bestimmten Datum oder nach einem bestimmten Ziel suchen möchte. Hier springt der Fokus von VoiceOver häufig wieder an den Anfang zurück, sodass man mit der Suche wieder von vorne beginnen kann. Noch schlimmer wird es, wenn man in den Einstellungen etwas ändern möchte. Hier springt der Fokus unkontrolliert und ich kann eigentlich nur eine Einstellung finden, die ich brauche, wenn ich die neue Bildschirmerkennung von VoiceOver aktiviere, aber selbst dann wird es knifflig. Bitte unbedingt nachbessern! Gerne helfe ich auch beim Testen!

Far exceeded my expectations

had everything I was looking for and then some. I did not even consider other apps after this. I do wish they’d change the app logo tho

Great self reflective habit!

Really enjoy this app, the synthesis, playback, and categorization of my thoughts has been very helpful. Looking forward to continuing to use

Journal bestie

This app has kept me going and kept me sane! It really brings me so much ease every time i use it

Positive Support

This has become a positive support for me. When I state what may be going on for me; the AudioDiary will give positive reinforcement for the things that I have expressed. This is one of the most positive ways for me to see my processes. This helps me see my thoughts more positively.

Surprisingly good.

The quality of my input varies from poor to very good but the AI feedback is consistently high standard. I am surprised by how much the AI input improves the quality of my journaling and aids my problem solving. I am trying to develop daily systems that make my AuDHD life more productive and fulfilling. After 6 months I am making considerable progress. In the past I have used One Note for my journaling. In the future I hope to meld the two together. Who knows, maybe there is a book waiting to be written.

Great for self reflecting!

I love that at the end of each entry the entry is analyzed and I am given feedback. It almost makes me feel like I am talking to an actual person and is nice to read the feedback. AudioDiary is something I look forward to at the end of each day.
