User reviews

I’ll be transparent.

I really like the app, I really do.

It’s quite unfortunate that the population that uses the app is quite small but it’ll grow if it can get more exposure I’m sure.

It’s very easy to blog, the community feature is well implemented, and it has nice organization!

Something I want to see prompt is a statistic of how many interactions you have made and received along with how many journals you’ve created and so on.

If this app ever does grow exponentially, it also needs a dedicated section organizer. If I want to be able to post in “Sad journals” or along those lines, that would be in the right direction!

Also it needs a following feature if it doesn’t have one already. I’m new to it so I could be missing it.

Overall it’s a well nice engaging app which is what I’ve been really looking for!

Amazing app

Response from developer

Thank you for the review. Happy to hear that you like the app :)

Great App

I love writing daily in my personal diary, but sometimes is hard to keep a track of it, having a journal on your phone where you can also share is amazing, and it also reminds you to write, which sometimes I forget, I totally recommend this App.

Response from developer

Thank you for the great review Danydenio! It means a lot to us 😊 We will keep working on it.

Digitize your thoughts

Nice App, I used to write on a book everything about my everyday when I was teenager but then everything becomes crazy with studies and jobs and I stopped writing. This App motivates to write, it let’s you save your writings and share or keep private what you want. In some way writing out my thoughts brings me clarity and peace.
