Great until it reset everything

Great tool if you're consistent, I didn't use the app for about a couple months and it signed me out and i lost everything i wrote down

Nun verdiente 5 Sterne

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der App und benutze sie seit über zehn Jahren.

Nachdem die Tag-Funktion jetzt repariert worden ist, hat die App volle Sterne verdient. An dieser Stelle sage ich vielen lieben Dank an die Entwickler.

Zu der App selber. Sie ist absolut logisch aufgebaut und seit über zehn Jahren führe ich hier täglich mein Tagebuch. Das Gute ist der vorgefertigte Rahmen, so dass ich mir jeden Tag circa 20 Fragen stelle, die ich über diese App beantworte und mich selber dadurch reflektiere.

Response from developer

We'd appreciate it if you could let us know if the problem has been solved or still want to give it a try. Please don't hesitate to contact us through email (support@griddiaryapp.com) or in the app (Me - Help - Contact Us) if you have any question and feedback! Thanks so much!

Subscriber but no support at all

I’m a paying subscriber. I’ve had a synch issue for 10 days now. I’ve contacted support 4 times with no answer at all. I never use a bad review to push for help but this is a complete absence of service.

Subscriber but no support

I’m a paying subscriber. I’ve had a synch issue for 5 days now. I’ve contacted support 3 times with no answer at all. I usually never use a bad review to push for help but this is really not a good service.

UI for timeline

I honestly don't like the timeline ui where it shows the date on the left within a little box.. It looks very crowded. The previous one was way better and I just want it change back to the older version, or at least provide some options in the settings and let the user choose

Best app on market

I reviewed a lot of different journaling apps. I’ve been using this one for years. Have not been able to find one better. Highly customizable, intuitive design, great prompts if you don’t have your own, good workflow. Highly recommend it.

Can No Longer Sign In

I would have given this app 5 stars until today. I have had this subscription several years but haven’t used it for a long time. I tried to sign in today but could not. I have tried the “forgot password” with all my emails and always get “email does not exist”. I cancelled the subscription but would love to keep it if the issue can be resolved.

I never leave reviews but

I’ve been using this app for almost 10 years and I am so grateful for it! It’s everything I want in a journaling and self care app — it’s customizable, but not overwhelmingly. I love that I can add photos easily, and use quick tags. It’s been so rewarding to see my journal entries from the past, compared to my present with their “this time a week / month / year ago”.

This app has been the best thing for my mental health when I’ve used it consistently to gratitude journal and write down my thoughts, or make todo lists for the day.

簡單明瞭好用

Shameful

It's shameful that an app this buggy charges money for sync capability.

It also doesn't list what all the premium features are, so you have no idea what you're getting when you buy it or what you're missing if you don't.

サポートから連絡がない

とても魅力的なアプリだと思いますが、Classic版からの移行ができず、サポートへ連絡していますが、1カ月以上経っても返信がありません。これでは、使い物になりません。

Gesamte App hängt trotz aktualisieren und neuinstallation

Liebe diese App und nehme die schlechte Bewertung auch direkt zurück. Aber nach dem heutigen Update hängt bei mir alles und irgendwie muss man ja darauf aufmerksam machen

Everything I've Been Looking For

It's taken me a few years to write a review, but finally here we are!!!

Firstly, for some context, I began journalling in 2018 at boarding school. When I came home in 2019 I really enjoyed looking back at how I was thinking and what I was experiencing. I wanted to digitize everything. I didn't digitize it using this app for complicated and unncessary-to-explain reasons, but I revelled in the thought of having a digital journal going forward, something that was made for journalling and being able to search through it.

In 2022 I found this app. I'm still working on the habit where I write in it every day, but today I logged in after not using it for a few weeks and perused through my memories that popped up and played with the search feature. I absolutely LOVE this app, it was everything I was searching for and I'm eternally grateful for it. I'm happy to have been supporting the developers through the subscription and every feature is just perfect. It has more features than I could've imagined! I could never have come up with those journal prompts on my own. I love having a daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly template so I can look back on any aspect I want. I really can't express enough how much I love this app and I hope it never goes away!

Stunning design and attention to detail

I really appreciate the philosophy of this journalling app, which is a perfect fit for my needs. It feels scalable and flexible for a lot of different use cases. The design is very clean and tidy, and I enjoy the writing experience a lot. I wrote this review because I hope to encourage the developers to keep up the good work — I intend to use this as my daily journal for years to come!

Cannot delete account

After some use, this app is not for me, but I’m unable to delete my account. When following the “delete account” prompt in the app, it redirects you to another page that prompts you to type a response and gives an error “something went wrong”. I open a ticket and the AI bot indicates someone will get back to me in several days. Several days go by and still no responses. The AI chatbot often indicates “Someone will be online later today”, but no response yet, despite several requests sent by me. Today (Wednesday) the chatbot now says “someone will be online on Sunday”.
This is why it’s not hard to believe when people say companies will do anything for your data!

Issues

App stopped working about a month ago. Love when it did work.

Takes several minutes to load

I used to be a big fan of this app but with one of the recent updates it’s becoming annoying to even open it. It takes several minutes to load up each time, on all my devices. I used to like to just quickly open it to jot down a few thoughts throughout the day but really dont do that as much anymore.

Finally am able to journal every day

I felt compelled to write this review as I was looking and the app doesn’t have too many recent good reviews. I can’t understand why not!

I have always wanted to do a daily journal but have either found it too difficult to think of what to write, or thought of it as yet another “to do” that loomed over me which I would generally avoid doing. I have ADHD and suffer from depression and anxiety, all of which would be improved by journaling, but also make it more difficult to do!

The reasons I think this app is perfect for me are:

- I do not feel the need to fill in all the grids, one is enough to satisfy my “daily input” so it doesn’t feel like a big chore
- having prompts gives me a starting point to jump into writing. I often find that it is much easier to move into introspection from here.
- I love that you can change to prompts to something more relevant for yourself
- you can add photos and images (this is very good for me as I take so many photos)
- the text formatting options are quick and convenient to use
- you can view the entries in a few different ways, for example on a timeline, from a calendar
-it’s simple and clean visually, not distracting

I should note I am using the free version and am finding it perfect for my needs. I am not entirely sure what additional functionality you get with a paid subscription, but I would definitely consider it if that were made more clear.

I have recommended this app to several people in my life, and feel very happy to write a positive review.
