### 5/5 — 10 Years User

*2026-08-12, version 5.9.0*

Now officially has used this app for 10 years. Tons of memories here. This app provides the most convenient way to record life, even a short sentense with time stamp. This will make your life a book, a treasure experience.

### 5/5 — perfect app

*2026-07-26*

### 5/5 — 本当に一行でも書くことが日課になる

毎朝起きたときの夢の事とか、睡眠薬の効き具合なんかをメモ代わりに書いたり、今日あった出来事を日記代わりにかいたり、使い方は自分次第。シンプルでとても良いアプリです。

**Developer response:** 素敵なレビューをありがとうございます。夢や日々の記録にデイグラムを役立てていただき、大変嬉しく思います。今後ともよろしくお願いいたします!

す。一度入力した日記をまとめて消せる機能があれば最高です。
シンプルですがおすすめしたいアプリです。

**Developer response:** コメントありがとうございます！
「シンプルだけど設定は高機能」——とても嬉しいお言葉です。

### 5/5 — Simple and elegant

*2026-06-29, version 5.6.9*

This is a great app for quick journaling, especially for a specific/focused subject.

The time stamps are a great feature as well

### 5/5 — The last try on journaling

*2026-05-09*

I always feel like journaling never worked for me but  knowing that putting a sentence or two is enough for DayGram…it starts a habit that I’ve tried numerous times and failed. Give it a try.  

Also a nice way to get an idea out of your head and into your phone as quickly as possible. Having short-term memory problems, that very important for me.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing your story. It means the world to us that Daygram is helping you build a lasting habit and capturing those important thoughts before they slip away. We are so glad to be part of your journey, and we’ll keep cheering you on, one day and one sentence at a time. Thank you for giving us a try.

### 5/5 — Thank you for making this app

*2026-04-07*

I’m really happy to see DayGram being maintained again. It’s my favorite diary app, and I often recommend it to friends.

I have one small request: could you add a time format option in Settings, so users can choose between 24-hour time and AM/PM?

Using AM/PM slows me down because I have to mentally convert it each time, so I often end up rewriting it in 24-hour format manually.  — for example, 00:59 instead of 12:59 AM. I’ve been doing that several times a day for years. A simple toggle would make a big difference.

——————

Thanks! I hadn’t used DayGram for a while because of compatibility issues, and I just downloaded it again a few days ago. I found the setting and have already switched it 🥳

**Developer response:** Thank you for using and recommending DayGram🙂 DayGram already includes a 24-hour time option in Settings, and timestamp inserts in the diary editor follow that preference. We appreciate your feedback and will look at making this setting easier to find in a future update✨

### 5/5 — They do listen all the feedback!

*2026-02-05, version 5.5.4*

Top choice for a diary! After I have this, I record for every day😍😍😍

### 1/5 — Change, not good change.

*2026-02-04, version 5.5.3*

When I first got the app on New Year’s Day, I started logging regular. Then like any resolution, I dropped off the “hope.” However, there were dots, where you could log missed days. Since February started.. I can no longer do so. 
REALLY tempted to delete the app now, as it doesn’t serve the purpose I hoped for. Sooo frustrating:(

### 3/5 — Ошибка при поиске

*2026-01-28*

Ошибка при поиске: при осуществлении поиска, выдается результат, но при пролистывании результата, информация пропадает.
