I just wrote out like multiple pages and I went to close out of it and save and the next thing I know the entire entry is gone. Really upset ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2026-07-18, version 3.1.2* I liked the app and resolved to using it more but logged in to find the entries I had made previously are gone. ### 4/5 — What happened? *2026-05-23, version 3.1.2* I absolutely love this app, I love how you can save photos to your diary entries. But lately it has stopped me uploading my photos to my entries and I don’t know why? I really hope they sort it out soon. ### 4/5 — ⭐️BEST APP EVER!!!⭐️ *2026-03-29, version 3.1.2* Only if the app had no adds and could be used in landscape position, I would give this five stars 🌟! In your next update, can you please add these things? Thank you! ### 4/5 — İstek *2026-03-15, version 3.1.2* Uygulamayı kullanıyorum. Beğeniyorum. Yalnız. Geçmiş bir tarihi nasıl görebilirim. Örneğin. 12 Kasım 2019 da günlüğümde ne yazmışım. Bunu hemen nasıl görebilirim. ### 5/5 — Tuyệt *2026-01-18, version 3.1.2* Nhật kí hay,rất tuyệt ### 5/5 — Best app ever. *2026-01-16, version 3.1.2* This is exactly what I was looking for and more. I love it. ### 5/5 — No anuncios *2026-01-15, version 3.1.2* Me encanta el diario, pero los anuncios no. ¿Se podrán eliminar los anuncios por un módico precio? ### 5/5 — Кайф *2026-01-05, version 3.1.2* Супер🧚🏽‍♀️ ### 5/5 — Excelente app *2026-01-02, version 3.1.2* O único que realmente entrega o que promete. Gostei muito de verdade. ### 4/5 — Nice digital diary *2025-12-28, version 3.1.2* I like the diary fonts and colors. Two improvements would be allowing landscape since many use iPads. Also, allowing Face ID so password does not have to be entered manually. ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2025-12-21, version 3.1.2* Great for kids and teens! You can add password change font and just write what you want!! I loved this app I definitely recommend ### 5/5 — Bom *2025-12-05, version 3.1.2* Tem sido bom ### 5/5 — Thanks *2025-11-16, version 3.1.2* Awesome app ### 2/5 — Diary - journal with password *2025-11-13, version 3.1.2* I like this app but when you do loads of diaries day by day that somehow disappear without you deleting them, it's annoying when you message people for months for help and no answer back from them at all to help. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2025-10-26, version 3.1.2* I love this app as I keep my homework to think about I make cute posters for different singers there is so much to do the fonts and the colours everything is amazing I love it highly recommended 👍🏻🎀 ### 4/5 — I just downloaded this app *2025-10-24, version 3.1.2* I like that the app is simple to use and has free features others want payment for. I like that it has a four digit passcode instead of a password since the last journal app I used stopped recognizing my password. I like the app except for the way it won’t save the entire photo. It will only show the first paragraph of an obituary. Aside from that it’s a great app and I’m already enjoying using it. Thank you for making it truly free. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Virus prone *2026-07-08, version 3.1.2* Virus on the app. Be careful. ### 1/5 — Intolerable advertising *2026-05-20, version 3.1.2* Made first entry successfully, but when save button pressed a full screen video advert started playing. Infuriated, I deleted the app immediately. ### 1/5 — App bloqueado sem recuperar *2026-01-28, version 3.1.2* Quero usar meu app mas esqueci a senha e não tem nenhuma opção de recuperar! Por favor me ajudem ### 1/5 — Forgot password *2025-10-01, version 3.1.2* I wrote lots of important incidents in this diary and now forgot Password , there is no option to reset password any other similar option. What a waste ### 1/5 — If you change or break phone no data recovery *2025-04-11, version 3.1.2* chose this app for a certification that required daily notes, thinking the PDF export would be perfect for sharing with my professor. It worked well—until my phone broke. After reinstalling, all my data was gone. No warning about needing a backup, no cloud recovery. Now I’ve lost weeks of work with no way to prove it. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Was a good app *2025-03-24, version 3.1.2* I’ve used this app for years with no problems but now I seem to have lost some of my writing ### 1/5 — Başarısız *2024-10-19, version 3.1.2* uygulamayı başka cihazda açınca bilgilerinize ulaşamıyorsunuz belli süre sonra fotoğraflarınız da siliniyor ### 1/5 — Diary front size *2024-08-07, version 3.1.2* I’m not satisfied w front upsize. It is still tiny to be read. Pls fix front size. ### 1/5 — Seriously? *2024-06-05, version 3.1.2* A diary app that has ads. I’d rather buy a lock box and write manually than deal with a crappy ad every time I move from one tab to the next. ### 1/5 — App locked me out *2024-04-28, version 3.1.2* I used this app every single day, several times a day and one day my password just stopped working. I emailed the developer and never received a response. All my journal entries for the last two years are inaccessible! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I like it! *2026-08-01, version 3.1.2* This diary is nice unlike the other one that only let me right two things this lets me write like over two hundred pages.
