### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-08-02*

This app genuinely made me cry from how helpful this is. This is not the normal usual app where it just makes you do stuff it genuinely talks about your problems and feelings. That was really helpful for a person that has no one else to talk to.

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2026-07-18*

I loved this app, I’ve found it at my lowest🥹🌸

### 5/5 — Я ставлю 5 звезд, но я купила 2000 ростков но они не пришли и support никто не отвечает

*2026-05-15*

Классное приложение и идея и Buba so cute, но я купила 2000 ростков и они так и не пришли мне и на почту support никто не отвечает

**Developer response:** Hi there! We don't have any pending support requests, so it's likely our response went to your spam folder, or your inbox is full and emails aren't reaching you at all. As a solution, try emailing us your WhatsApp or Telegram number – we'll reach out there and help you fix the issue! The sprouts bug is a known issue that will be fixed in the next release, and we're able to add them manually, so drop us a line!

### 5/5 — Очень милое приложение!

*2026-04-27*

Безумно нравится идея разных разворотов дневника, но думаю, что можно доработать, чтобы в одном месте было видно все свои записи. Очень красивая рисовка, приятная музыка на фоне, спасибо большое!
