I track my moods to see trends. I can also look back on the last few years. It also reminds you to write in it daily if you turn that feature on. You can add photos, which is cool too. Very customizable! ### 5/5 — Best app for tracking various components *2026-08-18* This app is by far the best for tracking various components of one’s life. Since it’s customizable, you can track anything that you want. Essentially, you can create your own system to track. I love its versatility. I would highly recommend this app for anyone who is needing to track habits, needs help with accomplishing various tasks and keeping track of routines. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! Love that you've built your own system with it, that's exactly what it's there for. 🥰 ### 5/5 — I love that app *2026-08-18, version 1.74.5* It fun ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-08-18* Gosto muito do app ajuda monitorar ver o desenvolvimento. Única coisa que não acho é o desenvolvimento dos anos anteriores. **Developer response:** Que bom saber que o Daylio te ajuda a acompanhar seu progresso! O histórico cresce junto com o tempo de uso, então quanto mais anos você registrar, mais anos vai poder revisitar depois. Obrigada por compartilhar! 💛 ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-08-16* Excelente aplicativo para acompanhar a rotina. Usei o Daylio todos os dias durante a última semana e a facilidade do uso é ótima. Ele me ajudou muito a visualizar como minha rotina afeta meu bem-estar, ajudando a perceber o que me causa mais estresse. Recomendo!! **Developer response:** Que bom saber disso! Feliz que o Daylio esteja te ajudando a entender melhor sua rotina e bem-estar 💛 ### 2/5 — Ehhhhh not for me *2026-08-16, version 1.74.5* It seemed great until it asked you to pay without an option to not get premium ### 5/5 — Best journal ever. *2026-08-16, version 1.74.5* I’ve been using this for a year and a half now everyday, and I love it. It has really helped me process information, as well as help me see trends and patterns and set goals for myself. I would recommend this for everyone! ### 5/5 — 続けれらるアプリ *2026-08-15* もう6年くらい毎日続けています。 色々自分流にカスタマイズ出来るのも飽きないポイント。 素晴らしいアプリをありがとう！ I’ve been using this app for 2 years.

We hope to keep making it worthy of many more years together! ### 5/5 — Great mood tracker *2026-08-12, version 1.74.5* I have been using Daylio since 2019 and find it very helpful for identifying my emotions. Originally got this because I had a horrible manager who is gratefully out of my life. ### 3/5 — Things to do to help *2026-08-12, version 1.74.5* Put calming down activities in it ### 5/5 — My daily companion *2026-08-11* Using for 4 years so far **Developer response:** Thank you for 4 years with us! Really happy Daylio has stuck around as part of your routine. 💛 ### 5/5 — Mudou minha vida *2026-08-11* Uso todos os dias e me ajuda bastante a seguir uma rotina e mapear pontos de melhoria **Developer response:** Muito obrigada por essa mensagem! 💛 Fico feliz que o Daylio esteja te ajudando a manter a rotina e enxergar pontos de melhoria. ### 5/5 — So far the best in its category *2026-08-10* I use it to track my medical records, and share the results with my Doctor. I am very funky about my apps, this is one of the best. I use it daily. It is very easy to use. **Developer response:** Thank you for this! It means a lot to hear Daylio fits into something as important as tracking for your doctor. Really glad it's easy to stick with daily. 💛 ### 5/5 — Three years strong & going *2026-08-10, version 1.74.5* I started using this app three years ago because I wanted to track my moods over time. I use this app very consistently and serves the exact purpose for which it was created: to journal my thoughts. I like the customizable portions and icons and ability to add pictures and audio. I wish I could add video clips. ### 5/5 — Appreciation and constructive feedback *2026-08-09, version 1.74.5* I absolutely loveeee this app. You know what they say “the things you do do things to you”. So apt in the context of this app :) As a sentimental girlie, it’s my most treasured app :’) I really can’t appreciate this app enough. Constructive feedback: Would love if we could add GIFs and video clips to daily enteries. Thanks :) ### 5/5 — helps with my poor memory *2026-08-08, version 1.74.5* I have brain damage and ADHD so my memory is in the gutter. my best friend recommended me to use this and it has helped a surprising amount. I could never tell anybody what happened on an insignificant date because I couldn’t remember, but now I can find it on the app and find out what past me left for future me to find out. ### 3/5 — Add Heart Rate tracker! *2026-08-07, version 1.74.5* It’s a good app. Lots of customisation so you can track what you want. But I really wish it imported more information from the Apple health app such as my heart rate. Not sure if this is a feature or not but also being able to customise ur chart would be really good. If these were added in I’d get premium instantly. Otherwise I don’t think it’s worth it, seems more of an aesthetic option than anything else. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — MONTHS OF DATA RANDOMLY LOST ??????? *2026-08-07, version 1.74.5* I closed my app out once and everything is GONE. This has never happened with another app before. I was using it to track not mood but important health stuff I’m so upset 😭 ### 1/5 — Save your $ *2026-08-05, version 1.74.5* NO! Does not sync between devices. Waste of time and money ### 1/5 — I might be switching to the journal of Apple *2026-07-27* It been a great app but now to many features make it more complex to keep it simple, and the privacy part of thinks makes me think that apple is a better option **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback. Totally fair, though most features can stay hidden if you keep things simple. Also worth knowing: your data stays only on your device or your own private cloud, never on our servers. Happy to help simplify your setup if you'd like! ### 1/5 — Can't disable promotional notifications *2026-07-22, version 1.74.4* I obviously want reminders to update my log, but there's no way to do that without also getting obnoxious promotional notifications too. Disabling advertising notifications should be an option for any application. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — ЗАЖАЛИ ВСЕ НОРМ ЗНАЧКИ. ЖАДИНЫ *2026-07-20, version 1.74.4* Жадины. ### 1/5 — Political ties *2026-06-18, version 1.73.2* I’m a leftist and there’s a political note in this app that made me feel uncomfortable using it. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-06-12, version 1.73.2* Have to go through the whole process of setting up to find out there is no free version, just a 7 day demo. ### 1/5 — Not "in-app purchases" *2026-06-09, version 1.73.2* I really wish app descriptions were required to be honest about their costs - this is NOT an app with "in-app purchases" available, it's an app that requires a PAID SUBSCRIPTION to use after five days. ### 1/5 — Pls Daylio Read this *2026-05-22, version 1.72.2* I’ve been using Daylio for over 2 years and it contains some of the most important memories of my life. I trusted this app with very personal moments, including audio recordings, photos, and journal entries. Unfortunately, there are serious issues on iPhone that need improvement. When I receive a phone call while recording an audio entry, the recording gets interrupted or cut off. On top of that, the iCloud backup/sync system does not feel safe or reliable enough. When my iCloud storage became full, I didn’t lose just 1 or 2 entries — I lost around 200 entries containing audio recordings, pictures, texts, and memories collected over years. After upgrading my iCloud storage and syncing again, most of those older entries disappeared permanently. My text entries partially remained, but many audios and attached memories were gone. For an app based on preserving personal memories, there should be much stronger protection against data loss, especially with iCloud syncing on iPhone. Users should have: * safer backup systems, * recovery options, * better warnings before syncing overwrites data, * and protection for audio recordings. This app means a lot to me, which is why losing years of memories has been heartbreaking. I really hope the developers improve backup security and data recovery for long-term users. ### 1/5 — Delete all my voice recordings DO NOW DOWNLOAD *2026-05-21, version 1.72.2* Daylio Randomly decided to delete all my voice recordings for the past 237 days . DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. I have been a loyal user since 2022 and I regret it. Personally memory with my grandma are gone I suffer from memory loss and this was the app I used to remember things and now that’s gone. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best mood tracker *2026-08-25, version 1.75.0* I’ve been using Daylio for years and absolutely love it, great visuals, and options. Will be using it for years to come! ### 5/5 — Only journal I’ve been consistent with *2026-08-24, version 1.75.0* This journal is so flexible and easy that it’s hard not to stay consistent. It’s built for the hardest days but has enough features and options for the energetic days too! I like that I can put as little or as much effort as I have each day and it still counts. You can even go back and fill in past days in case you forget or miss a day. I also like the tracking features which allow you to see patterns in your behaviors or feelings. Overall a very thorough app that can be adapted to just about anyone. ### 5/5 — One-time purchase for tons of great feartures *2026-08-23, version 1.75.0* I’m a big fan of things I only have to pay for once. I use this app as a daily journal. I love attaching a photo to each day’s entry and seeing the patterns over time. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Life Changer *2026-08-21, version 1.75.0* LOVE THIS APP!!! If you wanna be organized and have fun while logging your entries, this app is it!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-21, version 1.74.5* The title says it all ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-21, version 1.75.0* Been looking for an app like this for years, easily customizable and simple to use - exactly what I’ve been looking for. My only suggestion is that I’d love to be able to create 10 mood groups (rather than 5), so as to see a true 1-10 scale over time! Overall, great app. ### 5/5 — Been using for six years + *2026-08-21, version 1.75.0* I've been using this app for six years consistently to keep track of what my memories couldn't. It's been there through some of the best and worst times of my life, and as a free user I'm immensely happy to have something that doesn't fade into obscurity because of the pressing need for monetization. Definitely recommend for mood and activity tracking, and upgrading only if you feel you need more options (or if you want to support the developers <3) ### 5/5 — Daylio personal opinion *2026-08-20, version 1.75.0* Very helpful with therapy, would recommend ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2026-08-20, version 1.74.5* Wow! What can I say. This app is like a diary but on your screen, but one that tells you important stuff about yourself, such as what your most common mood is, how much you are eating or if you spend more time with friends than family. This app gives you tips to be your best self, helping you and the people around you. I feel this app helps me with being my kindest me and being as healthy and happy as possible. I really recommend! ### 5/5 — fun *2026-08-19, version 1.74.5* easy to track moods and fun stats to look at over time --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
