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.

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.

Thank you so much for your review! I hope you make great use of Audio Diary. If there's anything you need at all, please don't hesitate to get in touch at help@audiodiary.ai All the best, Dara :))
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.
Brilliant
Honestly such a good app.
I wasn’t expecting much due to the small number of reviews but this app is great!
I truly wish more people knew about it. The prompts are brilliant - especially the ability to change the tone of the analysis eg. Super critical or friend.
And I’m on the free version!
There are no ad pop ups.
Truly truly great. Looking forward to using it more and more.
I downloaded it a year ago, but only truly started to appreciate it now.
I’m excited to explore it further. Great creation. Excited to see where it goes next.

Grounding
I am getting incredible value from using Audio Diary. The summary of what I write/speak helps me stay grounded in what’s important to me and to recognize and appreciate myself more. Thank you to the team for all you do for us!
My Life Raft for my ADHD brain
This app has been my life raft in a sea of overwhelming thoughts, ideas, feelings, schedules, and so much more. I can brain dump all of the things running around in my head, and in no particular order, and the app will put it all together in a cohesive thread. Then it will read it to me, give me simple goals, and ask me questions to help me make the most of my ramblings. This has been especially helpful since I have been out on medical leave, as ADHD brains do not do well without some structure to the day. I love that I can make fun entries with pictures to keep memories of visits with my grandkids that get stored in the cloud. You can track goals, moods, thoughts, feelings, ideas, and more! Definitely gotta try this app out-it’s a game changer and easy to use!

My ADHD Brain Best Friend
The best for the ADHD brain. Have felt like I’ve lost the ability to actually sit down and journal, haven’t done it since I was a child, but this allows me to do it, and I love the way it synthesizes your entries and the goals that it comes up with and the accountability it provides with the reminders. It’s just great.

Sweet as a nut
Loving it. It maps well with my CBT :)
Didn’t want to love it - but I do!
I didn’t want to love this because I’m just a person who hates journaling. But this app makes it so easy and the responses and questions they ask you are so insightful and thoughtful.
Love the goals and feedback
Wow! I have only done a months of journal entries and I find the feedback and goals the AI give me from my entries are great! I also appreciate the extra questions which make me think in another direction.
Amazing
I have been journaling more lately in the evenings and I was trying to use speech to text and it wasn’t working for me because of misspellings and mispronounced words. I decided to look for an AI assisted app that would put my words into text with minimal mistakes and I found this. I do a lot of my thinking on my half hour morning drive to work and that is the best time to get it all out you can say so much more vocally than typing. I have anxiety and being able to do this has greatly decreased it. Great app can use some improvements like a longer time limit for those times where I want to just go on a tangent. I love the analysis and the goal setting, I will continue to use this app to the fullest, I highly recommend it.
