Give it a try! ### 3/5 — Caso o celular quebre *2026-08-13, version 1.15.3* Gostei muito, mas não faz sentido não poder entrar com e-mail, se caso Deus o livre o celular perder, aí perdemos tudo? Olhem isso daí. So assinarei o premium quando ter opção de email e não apenas um único aparelho. Fiquem com Deus ### 4/5 — Çok güzel ama hiçbir oyun mükemmel değil *2026-08-13, version 1.15.3* Çok güzel bir uygulama ama bazı şeyler parasız olmalıydı ### 4/5 — Review of a diary app *2026-08-13, version 1.15.3* Love it always hide my daily notes ### 5/5 — Perfektne konečne mi nikto nebude pozerať do súkromia 5 hviezd *2026-08-12, version 1.15.3* To čo názov ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Demasiada publicidad invasiva. *2026-08-17, version 1.15.3* Tremendamente invasiva la publicidad, muy molesta. Más allá que las funciones interesantes solo están para la versión de pago. ### 1/5 — Ucret *2026-07-24, version 1.15.3* Para almıyor diye yukledim ama bir hafta sonra para alinacagi yaziyor ### 1/5 — Gooooood *2026-07-18, version 1.15.3* If u see. This app get it.it is the best diary thing I have ever used IF YOU SEE THIS GET IT NOW ### 1/5 — Să nu o descărcați! *2026-07-16, version 1.15.3* Rulează o mulțime de reclame. Am cumpărat aplicația, dar pe ea rulează în continuare reclame, făcând aproape imposibilă utilizarea ei. Nu vă puteți descărca ce ați scris. Groaznic!!! ### 1/5 — Forgot pasword *2026-07-06, version 1.15.3* First i download this app because I always forgot my diary and I forgot my password and i cant do the other things ### 1/5 — Alright *2026-07-06, version 1.15.3* I would say it’s nothing like what I wanted it to be sorry to say you can work on a few things but it’s very plain . ### 1/5 — Love! *2026-06-02, version 1.15.2* I love this app and absolutely love how you cannot do only one way to access your diary! (Either face Id or pin) and it works so well! And it's so cool how it let's you put pictures, stickers, and the mood you're on! And the date you wrote it! It's awesome! ### 1/5 — Погано! *2026-05-19, version 1.15.2* Я вела щоденник. Зробила свою електронну запис. Але не платила. Видалила додаток з повною впевненістю що зможу зайти в нього і свій електронний запис, але все зникло!!! Дуже не рокемендую ### 1/5 — Pop ups *2026-05-10, version 1.15.0* There are so many ads that pop up you can’t even open the app to use it ### 1/5 — No Ads Please w/ A Paid Subscription *2026-03-11, version 1.14.14* This has been a useful product for me, but I need a refund after discovering ads the second year of use right after payment. I cannot stand adds. And I cannot be paying for a product that shows me ads. How infuriating. Ads are to be tolerated when you don’t have a choice or when you aren’t paying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gayet iyii *2026-08-25, version 2.0.0* Gayet iyi beğendim 3 yıldır kullanıyorum. ### 5/5 — Daily reminder *2026-08-23, version 2.0.0* It is extremely the best thing I have ever done before ### 5/5 — Mon avis *2026-08-23, version 2.0.0* Je me sens bien à l’aise là ### 5/5 — Hay *2026-08-23, version 2.0.0* Cực kì là hay có cả mk bảo vệ nhật ký nha mn Nên tải nha mn ### 5/5 — Funnnnn *2026-08-22, version 2.0.0* So much fun really good you should Try it ### 5/5 — Amei *2026-08-22, version 2.0.0* Jurooooo ameiiii muito recomendo ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-22, version 2.0.0* Tapi ada iklannya sedikit tolong biar tidak ada iklan ### 5/5 — Really good app!! *2026-08-21, version 1.15.3* This app is sooo good!! I really like how you can have a daily logging reminder and a mood tracker and no one can see your own digital diary because they don’t know your PIN number and the background pictures and the themes and the stickers. Totally recommend this app for anyone who has a lot of secrets ### 5/5 — I really like this app *2026-08-21, version 1.15.3* It is just so good if you are looking for a safe space for secrets and more ### 5/5 — Vale a pena instalar *2026-08-21, version 2.0.0* Muito bom e prático --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
