Which I’m forced to watch all the way through. I’d love to see this app working but can’t because of adverts. If I do decide to buy it then will all the adverts vanish. Very little information on what you get if purchased. I’m sure I can give a 5 star review but need to try before I buy but I can’t due to far too many adverts. ### 4/5 — Diary apps *2025-01-10, version 2.0* Good service like ### 4/5 — Love this *2024-12-17, version 2.0* I had this app a few years ago and I had wrote in it but when I redownloaded it to and see my entry there is nothing there is there a way to get my entries back ### 2/5 — Save? *2024-12-02, version 2.0* I accidentally deleted the app and when I redownloaded it, all my entries are gone!

If your looking for a app that keeps all your secrets and daily life in , this is the best app for you! I’ve been having this app for 1/2/ years now! I love it so much!! I keep all of my secrets in there and it’s so good! It has a password in it so no one else but you can unlock it!! Also it can be changed if you don’t like the diary colour or font! It gives your own choice on how you want to design your diary! 💗 Its simple and easy to use 💖 But it has a lot of ads which annoys’ me..😒 But overall it’s a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! ### 5/5 — Get this app asap *2023-01-30, version 2.0* This app is so awesome I love it and I use it daily I recommend it for kids and adults and if you didn’t know you can add a password which makes it feel so much more secure I’ve sent it to my friends even my friends use it and I definitely recommend this if you don’t have a notebook a notepad or anything to write on or if you Don’t feel safe with a note book or notepad ### 5/5 — Very good *2023-01-18, version 2.0* How to send my dairy via email ? And save them? ### 5/5 — Yes *2022-09-04, version 2.0* I love this app It doesn’t cost any money and if you put in a password no one will find out. It is your own privet Digital diary. The only thing is that if you want to have your a certain color it will not do that. If it can and I just didn’t know, can you please tell me how to do that. I really want my background color a certain color. Thank you and if you can not that is okay too! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
