### 5/5 — Super appli

*2025-10-01, version 2.1.2*

J’aimerais savoir si il y a une version payante ou est il illimité et gratuit ?

### 2/5 — App alignment glitched

*2025-03-12*

I cant add images or location or anything. Just text. The app window alignment and keyboard are glitched on my iPhone 15 Pro. Also no RTL yet…

**Developer response:** Hi Emad, the issue you described should be fixed in the latest version of Momently.

### 5/5 — This is what Apple Journal should have been.

*2024-12-28, version 2.0.5*

I am pretty convinced that Momently is what Apple Journal should have been from the beginning. I really like the fact that you can add trips, or add people to a day. I really wish there was a widget or some statistics like your current streak though. To me this is the only thing that is missing

### 1/5 — Was great, now crashes upon launch

*2024-08-06*

Loved this app and used it all the time. Then, for some reason it started crashing upon launch, and I can no longer use it. Would sure love to see the problem fixed and wonder if other users are experiencing the same issue.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you are having trouble. Could you please reach out to the support email address support@momently.app instead of giving the app a bad rating 😅

### 5/5 — Great App for journaling

*2024-07-09*

Has all the essential funktions like adding pictures, tags, cloud sync, location and persons you went with and etc. There is no catch-> NO MONTHLY FEE  
It is completely free and very minimalistic and easy to use 
Great app

### 5/5 — Superb!

*2024-06-11, version 2.0.4*

Albeit simplistic, functions are all smooth, untainted by lagginess and pleasant to use. 

Benefits:
• The layout is easy to use; minimalist  
• There are many different custom options 
• icloud works well with other devices 
• no ads 

Improvements: 
• I would like if the developers could add things such as folders or files for different types of logs! Having logs of all kinds in the same place is somewhat messy and difficult to sort out
• The option to place different fonts in the travel photo section could maybe be optimised so that it works for the system? 
• perhaps include an option to shrink the photo when added to a log
• themes?

### 5/5 — So good!

*2024-04-28*

Just trying it out but it seems awesome!

### 4/5 — A promising journal app with room for improvement

*2024-02-29*

The momently journal app has the potential to be an excellent alternative to the Apple journal app. However, after using it for some time, I've identified a few areas where it could be improved to make it even better.

One useful feature that could be added is a calendar view, which would allow users to easily browse and access past entries. Additionally, incorporating mood tags would make it easier to track and reflect on emotional states over time.

Another suggestion is to add a quick check-in option for users to record daily activities, similar to the Daylio app. This would be especially helpful for those who may not have the time or energy to write longer entries, but still want to keep a record of their daily experiences. For example, users could simply select options such as "went to school/work," "met up with friends," or "exercised."

Overall, while this journal app shows promise, there are several areas where it could be improved to enhance the user experience.

### 5/5 — Perfect app

*2024-02-21, version 2.0.4*

So minimalistic design and yet productive

### 4/5 — Nice app but...

*2024-02-03, version 2.0.3*

It would be great to share some or all my data share (export) as pdf (and also movie, word html). That is my dream. Would you think about especially pdf and lovie export.
