It is saying to buy the full version and it is 7$. But I am in India so it is costly please change it to free ### 4/5 — OMG THIS GAME IS AMAZING 😍😍😍😍 *2022-10-31, version 1.4.2* I love this game you can do everything without money but in future I would improve to put a lock on it son know one gose in ### 4/5 — Nostalgic! *2022-04-04, version 1.4.2* I gave this game four stars only because of the nostalgia I had while playing it again. This was one of my first apps on my tablet as a kid and I have fond memories! But one star was taken off because of the fact that it gets stale really fast if you’re not a hyperactive child that is easily entertained. It brought back great memories though! ### 3/5 — No lock or writing space *2021-06-22, version 1.4.2* I downloaded this for fun just because and it was ok but it can’t be used as a real diary because there is no space to write at all an no lock I only use I for the selfie diary with could use improving ### 3/5 — A bit of a joke *2020-11-27, version 1.4.2* Honestly, this app is a little underdeveloped. It definitely doesn’t give you enough writing space and it makes you pay for most things, including the Love Meter, and the feature’s a little unrealistic, too- how are you going to get a photo of this ‘special guy’ again? Sorry if you thought this was really your dream diary. Spoiler alert: Keep looking. Still, I guess Doodle Play is fun. ### 2/5 — Ok🤦🏻‍♀️ *2020-05-12, version 1.4.2* It’s ok but there our like three things you don’t pay For what a waist the games our fun but need to pay for Everything have it if your rich but an average is a no It’s a waist of money for an average ### 2/5 — Ummmm..😁 *2020-04-25, version 1.4.2* TERRIBLE! ### 2/5 — Bad *2019-12-17, version 1.3* It don't look the same as the ad!! WARNING DO NOT GET!! ### 4/5 — Not like a real diary at all *2019-10-30, version 1.3* I can’t write my secrets in it and the ones that i can anyone can read my secrets are not safe the love meter thing is so gross ### 3/5 — App’s ok.. plz respond tabtale *2019-07-06, version 1.3* Ummm so I like it cuz I don’t have 2 write in a real one but I hate it cuz I want everything ### 1/5 — Why is the real diary part locked *2019-02-27, version 1.3* Honestly I don’t know why you would make people pay for the diary part it’s so dumb and if this is not fixed no one will download this game so I suggest you fix this now and fast 🙎🏼‍♀️😡🤯🤬😡 ### 2/5 — Wonderful but.... ONE HUGE PROBLEM *2019-02-24, version 1.3* Ok I love this app and all It’s great and fun I love it But..... I hate the fact that you have to pay for almost everything on the app It just makes it less interesting and fun This is why people are not really playing the app it’s because you have to pay for almost the full thing to even get to use it I mean don’t get me wrong it is fun but please just take down the purchases because the app won’t be great And it’s just really boring to use now Because of all the purchases you have to buy to be able to actually have the fun and use the app for its real purpose Please read my review developers This is really important and I think that you should fix these issues Thank you. ### 1/5 — Why pay for almost everything *2019-02-10, version 1.3* I thought this game would be fun but then I clicked on something and I had to pay for it. I still haven’t played any of them.I think it should be for free because why sell the game for free and then have people pay for the activities on it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I hate it *2021-04-22, version 1.4.2* This app gives s the worst all the stuff to do on it is locked and you have to pay like 10 bucks to unlike the stuff you want I hate this pleses don’t bay it it’s a wast of time and a big fat joke ### 1/5 — Really terrible¬ private *2020-11-28, version 1.4.2* Most of it we need to pay for so in the next update can you make more things free and make it more private? ### 1/5 — Don’t pay for it *2020-10-21, version 1.4.2* Mine didn’t work and now I dont have 5 dollars ### 1/5 — Rating the stars 1 out of 0 *2020-08-20, version 1.4.2* I really find it rubbish it is so rubbish ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-04-03, version 1.4.2* I’m so mad you have to pay for like everything it’s such a rip off don’t spend any money on it just delete it the only good thing about it is the music Evie is so mad btw Evie is me .TERRIBLE App do not buy anything delete it I have one favour make everything free ### 1/5 — DUMB *2020-03-12, version 1.4.2* This game has nothing unlocked it's all locked and I hate it! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2020-01-21, version 1.4.2* Listen do not download this app it is rubbish if you want the full version you have to pay money which is a waste of money if you ask me 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Too long *2019-11-05, version 1.3* It takes too long to load ### 1/5 — i dislike this app *2019-05-26, version 1.3* This app is not fun for me no hate but... you literally have to pay for almost EVERYTHING. the app makers give you the boring stuff for free ( and their aren’t very fun either) and make you PAY for the actual quality fun parts. that’s just RUDE it would be cheaper just too go out to walmart and buy a composition notebook and write and draw in that! and it would be more fun too! AND THAT GOES FOR ALL OF TabTALE’S APPS! overall... • i don’t recommend it • too expensive • boring i don’t like this app at all.... 👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — Nope do not buy it! *2019-05-24, version 1.3* I was excited to open this app but I hat the adds and the in app purchases. Come on! We already payed for the game! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The WORST app ever! *2023-06-05, version 1.4.2* I am putting 5 stars so people can see my review. This is the absolute worst app ever and it’s a waste of time. Why? Here are some reasons why... For one, u have to pay for almost EVERYTHING!? The only things you can do in this game is doodle, make a stupid little character, and decorate your diary. Yet this app is rated 3.5 stars?!?!? So no, you can’t hardly do anything with this app without paying 5-10 dollars that could be spent on something far more important. Heck, I’d rather throw my money in the trash than spend it on this game. Number 2, there are ads around EVERH CORNER. I get scared just to click a button because I get worried it’ll take me to an ad, and WHAT DO YOU KNOW, IT DOES! Number three, that STUPID VOICEOVER makes me want to DIE. If you click the button that’s makes u go into the love tracker or whatever, it’ll say smt like, “oOh, LeT’s SeE iF yOuR tRuE lOvE iS rEaLlY yOuR tRuE lOvE!” With that stupid annoying babies voice. This game is extremely underrated and I’m surprised it is even a thing. With all that said, PLEASE do NOT get this game! It’s a waste of time and money and it might ya well be for babies. DO NOT DOWNLOAD! ### 5/5 — Hate it so much *2021-09-02, version 1.4.2* Ok I know it’s not just me this game has three things you can do but if u want to play any others u have to buy them I played for like five minutes and it was so boring I thought this game would be that friend i don’t have and I can just write me feelings in this game but no not at all actually now that I think about it it’s the actually kinda the opposite any ways PLEASE MAKE MORE THINGS FREE. ### 5/5 — Garbage *2021-03-16, version 1.4.2* Boring ### 5/5 — Best diary ever just have to pay *2020-12-05, version 1.4.2* This is the best diary every but I don’t like how I have to pay for most things I love how I’m feeling I write in it everyday best game but it’s good I’m just feeling like I have to pay 5 dollars for a app just a bit mad but never deleted it hope u guys see this ### 5/5 — I love the game but thing is you have to pay *2020-06-08, version 1.4.2* One thing unlock The locked things please I’m begging you I really love but lock things I’m 10 and my names addy ### 5/5 — Cool *2020-02-29, version 1.4.2* Cool ### 5/5 — Amazing app!
