Outstanding!

Best journal app!

Great App

Great App

I’ve tried several journaling apps over the years and Diarium meets my needs by far. Even better is that there’s no ongoing subscription.

Love love this journal app

Diarium has everything that I’m looking for in a journal app, including the On This Day. I’ve used the app for less than a week and have no issues. I love that it’s available on both iOS and Mac. This app encourages me to write a journal entry daily which has always been my goal. This price is also very reasonable.
I recommend giving this journal app a try!

Great so far!

Just started to use Diarium, and it’s doing just what I want so I can keep track of holidays and a prayer diary.

Really great!

I have spent hours looking for some kind of good diary app, and I had certain things in my mind as far as what I wanted them to do. I tried out several, and none of them were very close to what I had in mind. They were too bulky, too labor intensive to use and just didn’t feel intuitive to me, and this one is pretty close to what I would’ve designed if I knew how to write software myself.

Excellent diary app

Reliable, ad-free and subscription-free. If only more developers made apps this way.

Secure - Data protection: Number 1

I strongly recommend Diarium the app for your consideration. I used another app for about four years, with very good results — until the addition of features caused a data loss, as I was typing / scribing. For me, that was what made me try Diarium. Since using this app, there has been NO data loss. There are visible reminds to manually save your entries. That’s all that I ask for: keep my carefully crafted ideas “safe”.

But in addition — editing features that make the app visually appealing, and having those features readily available (iOS mobile) (iOS tablet - 2 sizes) (MacOS) —> yes, I am a paid user for both MacOS and iOS —> paying in this way for the app is a small price to pay for secure, cross-platform access to my thoughts, my ideas in a way that makes me feel completely free to scribe.

Many thanks to the app developer… Sometimes simple and effective goes a long way.

Another bonus: friendly to on-screen virtual / Apple keyboards / physical keyboards. The devs include most typing / word entry conventions typical for iOS PadOS MacOS. This is not the case for other apps…. Ask yourself: Does my current journal app allow me to scribe the same way I would input text for non-personal writing? Diarium the app DOES - and it’s worth giving a try.

Excellent, but….

I really like this app. It has pretty much everything that I have been looking for and I use it to record mundane events (as a “when did I last…?” app) and diary/journal/social events.

The one thing I don’t like - and this is purely a personal opinion - is the inability to manipulate photos within an entry. In other words, if I have, say, a journal entry for a particular day and if a lot happened that day, there may be 10 or more photos that I want to include. At present (and I don’t know whether there are plans to address this), all photos appear along the bottom of the entry. This is similar to Card Diary, where the photos are along the TOP.

As a journal, I also use Diarly. There, I can place (and manipulate) photos in and around the text of an entry. So, if I have a paragraph about a particular event, I can include a photograph relating to that event within that paragraph.

However, I like the interface of this app far more than that of Diarly. This app is cleaner and simpler to use and, at the initial level, sets out the data better.

Again, purely as a personal opinion, an ability to manipulate photos within the app would make it pretty much impossible to replace.

It is only for this personal preference that I haven’t awarded the app 5 stars, which it probably deserves.

UPDATE: Thanks to the developer for getting back to me so quickly. As I suspected, adding the ability to manipulate photos presents its own unique challenges. I do hope that this could become a feature in the future. Notwithstanding this, Diarium has become, and will remain my main app for setting out the notes, photos and data relating to my routine events and my travel and social events and I can heartily recommend it.

Tout ce que je cherchais

Manque un tracker d’habitude à cocher à mon goût pour le reste tout est parfait.

Use Diarium in few years. The best diary app for me! Thanks

情報漏洩が怖い

PCと連携させたかったけど フルアクセスさせないといけないように見えた だからスマホだけにしてる

Response from developer

「フルアクセス」がどの権限を指すのか、このレビューだけでは分かりません。PC版との同期にiPhone全体へのアクセスは不要ですので、表示画面を diariumapp@outlook.com へ送っていただければ確認します。

Great app

Perfect for my needs, attachments, seamless syncing across Apple devices. No major glitches so far (a few years) - double entries w syncs sometimes

Was will man sonst…

Ungeheuer, flexible und leistungsfähige Software. Es ist kein irgendwie geartetes Abo nötig, einfach einmal bezahlen, und man kann es für die die entsprechende Plattform verwenden. Trotzdem klappt der Sync zwischen den einzelnen Versionen, Windows Mac und iOS einwandfrei. Das kommt mir insofern entgegen, dass ich auch keine Speicherung meiner Einträge auf irgendwelchen fremden Server haben möchte. Einfach sind über das nass und das war’s. Ich habe den Kauf nicht ein Moment bereut. Wünsche? Ja, ich würde gerne mehrere Tagebücher führen und nicht nur eins aber das wurde schon oftmals angeregt und irgendwie kann es nicht umgesetzt werden, was soll’s

Response from developer

Freut mich, dass Diarium mit dem Einmalkauf und der Synchronisierung über den eigenen Speicher so gut zu Ihnen passt. Mehrere getrennte Tagebücher sind ein langfristiges Ziel, versprechen kann ich die Umsetzung derzeit aber nicht.

Best I’ve found

This works across devices ( iPhone and ipad mini) smoothly. It seems to have found old entries from apps I used a while back as well and incorporated them without fanfare. It’s perfect for me.

Diarium

Amazing app, perfect for chronicling and organizing a journey or hobby!

Pro version

I am enjoying this app. I have been copying my stuff from two other Diaries to this diary and happy I can do that. I bought the pro version … I think it is a very good diary app and loving it so far.

loveee

i love this app. ive had it for a couple years. i did decide to buy the subscription so i can add multiple attachments to a day and i love it. im pretty sure it was a small one time payment. for a simple and useful app like this, i was happy to pay.

i use this app to record audio diaries. it’s amazing self therapy and i love that it send notifs about what you added on that day x years ago.

i also like that you can password protect and change the colors and personalize it. i like being able to add pics and i like that it has the moon phase for the day on it too!

i highly recommend!!!

The best app I have bought

Years ago, I began journaling with the Day One app when you could buy the app. Then Day One moved to a subscription model which I felt was overpriced. And then I discovered this app and it had the ability to import my Day One data. This app works great. It allows me to save the database on a cloud service of my choosing. I know where my data is.
