### 5/5 — Спасибо огромное за это чудо—приложение

*2024-05-07*

Очень лаконичное и мега-важное! Очень нравится темная тема, чувствуешь себя наедине с собой, тихо и уютно.
Ничего не отвлекает, простота и удобство очень нравятся, без лишних заморочек, приятный шрифт. Никогда не вела дневники всерьёз, но это приложение очень понравилось для искренности и открытости, хочется с ним делиться.
Есть, конечно, пожелания по его усовершенствованию, но это на усмотрение разработчиков:
- улучшить возможность добавлять фото к записи в том формате, которое есть в галерее, без принудительной обрезки, где теряется часть фото по итогу
- было бы ах*енно добавлять музыку в записи, как музыку дня, которая сопровождает твоё эмоциональное состояние
- ещё бы хотелось иметь возможность форматировать дневник в док (частями, полностью или по выбранным датам) и отправлять себе в другие мессенджеры или терапевту для отслеживания терапии и динамики, ну или же сохранение дневника в текстовом формате, чтобы не утратить свои записи, вдруг что
- возможность в календаре приложения отмечать дни разными маркированными цветами, чтобы отслеживать «депрессивные эпизоды», «просветления», или «ровные стабильные дни».

А так, благодарю, удачи вам в разработках, вы несёте много добра в мир!❤️

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Спасибо вам за такой искренний и наполненный добротой отзыв! Мы несколько раз перечитывали его всей командой и трепетали от восторга 🫶  

Нам понадобилось взять небольшую паузу, но теперь мы готовы развивать swell ещё усерднее 🌷 

Отдельное спасибо за столько прекрасных идей. Надеемся, что получится вас порадовать ближайшими обновлениями 💫 

Желаем вам бесконечное количество уютных моментов, со swell и не только 🩵🩵🩵

### 5/5 — My new favorite app 😍😍😍
