## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Typing experience in Chinese is terrible

*2023-01-02*

I tried using Chinese to record but it seems the app could not make it.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-07-19*

Doesn’t work - literally couldn’t even open it without it freezing after my first entry, was supposed to use Face ID but it didn’t and just opened. AND it makes you sign up for free trial/enter payment info right out the gate. Already cancelled and deleted the app after 1 day.

**Developer response:** Kannet00, I’m sorry to hear Diem did not meet your expectations. Please email contact@gootra.com and I’d be happy to assist you.

### 1/5 — Cannot download/delete

*2021-01-15*

The app will not completely download and I cannot delete the icon from my phone to retry the download.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear this. We don’t have any control over the install process, this is handled by the iOS system. Maybe try tapping on the icon to restart the download or restarting your phone.

### 1/5 — Won’t work.

*2021-01-01*

I can’t even open the app, it instantly crashes. I was excited to try out this app so I’m sad it’s not even working...

**Developer response:** We are so sorry there was a New Years bug with 2021 dates. As soon as the clock struck 12 and our developer realized the issues a fix was submitted within 30 minutes. The latest version that fixes this crash is now live. Please download the latest version from the App Store and email us if you still encounter any issues. contact@gootra.com We hope you give Diem another try!

### 2/5 — Nope

*2021-07-14*

You can’t even format?  A line break seriously ends an entry and considers it finished?

No wall of text for me.  I like to break up paragraphs neatly, have bold and italic text… this was lacking.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback and suggestions! In the latest version 2.2.2 you can now add line breaks to break up paragraphs neatly. We'll look at adding bold and italic in the future.

### 2/5 — Hard copy version

*2021-01-07*

It would be great to have the option of purchasing a hard copy of the journal at the end of the year.

**Developer response:** This is a great idea and something that is on our roadmap!

### 4/5 — Good app, wish I could share more photos

*2023-01-03*

I like this app a lot so far, but I’m frustrated that I can only share one photo per day. I’m trying to use this to replace social media and would love the ability to save multiple photos per day.

### 5/5 — It's great to keep your secrets ​

*2021-04-19, version 2.1.1*

The app is really great, it worked for me. I love the themes, themes, and notifications that work well. The wallpaper is super cute and makes me feel motivated, the whole atmosphere of the app is cool.   ‍

### 5/5 — Easy way to journal!

*2020-10-26*

Easy and effective way to journal.  Great tool to keep track of key events in your life that you want to remember.

### 5/5 — Journaling for all!

*2020-10-26*

I have been journaling since middle school. This app makes something I have always loved easy and fun! If you’ve never journaled this is a great place to start! I love the ways photos can be connected to events and memories!

I love this app! It’s super easy to use and it’s great to be able to document your day right from your phone.
