### 1/5 — Clunky money grab

*2026-05-24*

I decided to get back into it and opened the app for the first time in a couple years, but now they’re making you watch an ad for EVERY entry unless I pay premium? My choices are to pay $8.99 a year for something my notes app does for free or start my morning with an ad? Yeah no. The app isn’t even that good anyways, it’s clunky and overcomplicated. It’s a shame, I’ve used this app since 2020.

### 5/5 — Designed with thought

*2026-04-01, version 1.7.0*

This app is definitely for those who enjoy art. The quiet and subtle layout invites you to share about yourself—take a few minutes in the day to just reflect. There is lots of freedom when it comes to decorating the pages with emojis and themes and also encouraging widget reminders. Newer issues but it would be better if the widgets were compatible with the new iOS Liquid Glass.

### 3/5 — 프리미엄 구독 ㄴㄴ

*2026-02-03*

왜 프리미엄 구독이 있을까요? 구독하면 더 할게 많지만, 프리미엄 구독해야돼는 앱이 너무 많네요. 저는 프리미엄 구독 안해도 많이 할수 있었으면 좋겠는데…그리고? 달 중에 ‘창문‘이랑 ‘꽃’은 원래 광고보고 사용하는거 아닌가요? 근데 프리미엄으로 바꼈네요…그리고 달 중에 프리미엄 달들 너무 많은거 아닌가요? 조금만 풀어주세요ㅠㅠ 프리미엄 구독해서 돈도 쓰기 싫고…제작자님(?)이 완전 해자(?)시면, 프리미엄 구독 없애주길 바랍니다.🙏

### 1/5 — 이 오류를 고쳐주세요

*2025-11-20*

2025년 9월 이후부터 일기만 모아보는게 안됩니다. 달만 모아서 볼 수 있는데 안됩니다. 이 오류부터 고쳐주셔야 할것 같습니다!!!!!!

**Developer response:** 불편을 드려 죄송해요. 해당 오류가 재현되지 않아서 수정되지 못한 것 같아요. 오류가 수정되기 전까지는 우선 목록 표시 형식을 다른 형식(전체보기나 줄글보기)로 변경해서 사용해보시겠어요?

### 1/5 — 可愛いけど日記としては…

*2025-11-10, version 1.6.5*

すごく可愛くてコンセプトは素敵だけど、日記を保存する為に毎回動画を見なきゃいけないのは流石にストレスで即アンストしました。

### 2/5 — It used to be good

*2025-11-09, version 1.6.5*

The app used to be really good until the producer forced us to either watch ad or buy premium in order to save note. Saving note is the most basic and foundational function of a diary app, why do you force users to pay/watch ad to do so? Also, after the update, it lost the auto capital function (at the beginning of the note and after a stop).

### 2/5 — 直して欲しいです

*2025-11-06, version 1.6.5*

日記を書く際、今までシンプルな画面から
右横にアクセサリーが表示されるようになり、誤タップが多くとても使いにくいです。
元々はとてもシンプルで使いやすかった。
変えて欲しいです、すみません。

### 3/5 — 오류 과다

*2025-10-31*

일기 쓰다보면 입력창이 위로 올라가거나 계속 정신사납게 위아래로 움직이고 내가 입력하는 커서는 보이지도 않고. 쓰다가 다른 어플로 갔다가 다시 오면 뭐 잠깐 갔다온건데도 오류가 나서 일기를 이어 쓸수도 없고. 오류가 심각합니다.

**Developer response:** 불편을 드려 죄송해요. 최신 버전으로 업데이트 해주세요. 문제를 알려주셔서 감사해요.

### 3/5 — 保存ごとに短い広告視聴しなくてはならない点が玉に瑕。

*2025-10-19, version 1.6.4*

雰囲気が良い、重点を置いている新規性としては評価したい。お試しで使うには使いづらい、といったところか。

### 4/5 — 🥲

*2025-10-07, version 1.6.4*

今年の1月から書き始めて気に入っていましたが、10月の日記が表示されなくなり悲しいです
