We will address it in the next update. ### 5/5 — Best app *2023-09-10, version 3.01* I don’t know were I would be with out it ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-08-26* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Convenient and easy *2023-08-13* This journal is so easy to pick up any where Andy time and write prayers or affirmations or just what went on on the day.

We agree with you--privacy isn't a luxury. The app lock is now available to all users in the newest update. ### 3/5 — Good, but I can’t unlock my diary💔 *2026-06-16* I love this app it is so relaxing for me but when I wanted a personal lock I had to restart the app and I thought I was going to choose my personal lock but now it just says “ touch anywhere to unlock” and I was touching everywhere but I couldn’t get in😭😭😭 I would love to get help quickly because I want to write in my diary so bad!!😭😭😭 I hope you can reply to this soon🙏🏻 ### 3/5 — To do something you need premium *2022-07-28* The choices are limited when you are not premium and is not just a little bit, you can only have one journal at a time, and you can’t add images. ### 3/5 — Good luck *2022-05-06* This game is good we could do what we want to write on here it’s a fun game and every day we get a chance to complete our goal nothing that’s good no like our goal is to anything we want it to be that’s my review it’s a good one. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! If the writing goal is distracting, you can turn it off from the app's settings page. ### 3/5 — Sure *2022-01-15, version 2.80* I really like this app. I mean I mostly use it for like venting, but I wish it didn’t ask for you to pay for everything. ### 3/5 — Pretty good if you want to pay *2021-12-12* I would really rather just buy this app or have ads if I can only have 1 notebook/journal, 1 picture per the entirety of this app ,and cant use the reminders to write unless I pay 40 dollars a year and then I get a bunch of benefits but some people don’t want to use that much money on a notebook which you could just use the note app if you really wanted it to be virtual I know this technology probably costed a ton but maybe you could do adds and have this app not be free or something it’s just a suggestion or maybe more notebooks you could have without the 40$ a year but if your willing to pay that much this is a great app I still use it a lot it’s good for if your bored because it has a lot of different prompts even if your not paying **Developer response:** Hi there, We appreciate your honest feedback and will use it to improve. Ads feel a bit invasive in a diary/journal, so we stuck with in-app purchases to monetize. If you do not want to subscribe, there is a one-time payment available under “View all plans” You could also give the free trial a spin to see if you like the features before purchasing it. Glad you’re enjoying so far! ### 4/5 — 😍😍😍😍 *2025-02-04* I lov it so much all though you have to pay for most of it you can lock it it for extra privacy it’s so good to me though I would highly recomend ### 4/5 — Good *2023-05-13, version 2.92* I use this journal to see if my turtle has changed his behavior over time.And you do not have to use it just for turtles you could use to write feeling thoughts ideas. ### 4/5 — It’s good *2023-04-24, version 2.92* It works well to keep me on track during the day ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Been with them for years! *2025-12-22* I love the app so much to do.
