### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-18, version 1.2.6*

It's simple and easy to use and minimalistic which I love. It's also nicely priced with a one time purchase to remove ads and what not. Thank you!

### 5/5 — So easy to track!

*2026-07-28, version 1.2.6*

I have multiple comorbidity diseases.  What I should eat is very limited.  With Dining Note I am able to see what I ate. I don’t have to show anyone!  If I ate something bad for me, I can work on changing that habit. 
The best thing is how easy it is to use. I don’t want to know nutrition facts. I want to remember what I put in my mouth. 
I highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Simple Diet Diary

*2026-07-21, version 1.2.6*

Excellent easy app to navigate to record your daily eating. Great for sustainable weight loss.

### 4/5 — Overall great

*2026-07-15, version 1.2.6*

Great and easy to use. A couple bugs, most annoying is that there is a picture icon that makes it seem like you should be able to log a picture of your food, but it does nothing. (I checked the app permissions and there is no option to give it camera access, so it’s just an unbuilt feature.) would have reported this instead of putting it in the review, but the website doesn’t work. But yeah, for the most part it’s great and I really like it.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2026-06-28, version 1.2.6*

The app is straightforward but despite its simplicity, it glitches frequently.  It appears there is an option to attach photos. When a photo is selected the app instantly closes. 🤔
My hope is that problem is corrected soon.  I appreciate how intuitive the app is to operate; it just needs to stay open long enough to receive entries. 🤞🏻⚓️

### 4/5 — Widget?

*2026-05-17, version 1.2.6*

Is there not a widget option? This is the only thing missing for me. I wanted a simple organized way to write my food down without all the trackers. So it’s great! Just wish I could put it on the Home Screen as a widget

### 5/5 — Perfect, no nonsense

*2026-05-17, version 1.2.6*

This does what it says on the tin. It’s simple. It puts you in charge. No lists to search, no categories to fit into, no calories to count. 
Just ‘what did I eat today?’ in your own words. Perfect!

### 5/5 — Simple and easy

*2026-04-28, version 1.2.6*

Does what it says on the tin. Just need to add a notes section to complete this brilliant app! It's easy to use and clear. Great app!!!

### 4/5 — simple and effective

*2026-04-15, version 1.2.6*

Honestly , it’s so simple, and exactly what i needed. i just needed a simple app where i can log and look back. no over the top menus. very simple notes app with pre-made breakfast, lunch and dinner sections. Does the trick. Just wish there was a print option (with pdf export option) as would be useful to send info to dietician .
