### 4/5 — PLEASE HELP fix this bug and remove the corrupted drafts

*2026-06-13, version 3.6.5*

I’m a Premium user running Momento 3.6.5 on my iPhone 17 Pro Max (iOS 26.5.1).

I wrote a long journal entry a month ago, but it failed to save properly and got stuck as a draft. Now I cannot open or delete it — the app crashes immediately whenever I tap on these broken drafts.

I’ve tried common troubleshooting steps already: force-quitting the app, restarting my phone, and updating iOS twice, but none worked. The app hasn’t received updates for quite a while either.

### 2/5 — Can’t move data to new phone

*2026-06-07, version 3.6.5*

I love this app but Where is the feature to restore purchase?  I can’t move my data to new phone. Years of very important data

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2026-05-19, version 3.6.5*

I had high hopes for this app but looks like it’s been abandoned. Lots of major bugs that are central to its brand promise (like that you can connect it to different apps but that doesn’t work), and no one answers their customer service emails. I’ve tried for months and am past the window Apple allows now for refunds so I bought a year of access for something I never use. Super disappointed. Don’t bother downloading! Waste of money.

### 3/5 — Share feature update please

*2026-01-23, version 3.6.5*

I need the ability to share when I’m in a journal entry. All that comes up is instagram can you change it to automatically be share goes to iMessage??? Thanks

### 3/5 — Momento

*2025-12-28*

I liked this app and deleted it. There’s a huge flaw with it. People have different ways of journaling. Sometimes you feel like removing a large number of entries at the same time. This app does not allow you to select a group of journal entries and delete them. It seems like a big mistake on behalf of the app creators. No one wants to go and delete one journal entry after another. Besides that, I loved the app. I loved that there wasn’t AI interfering with my writing and giving feedback; it was just a place to document thoughts. It’s a journal - not a therapist who responds to what you say. If they fix that issue, I’d gladly give it five stars. But that issue is so annoying that I got fed up with Momento and wrote this review.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2025-11-08, version 3.6.5*

Too bad.  Used to work ok.  Then Facebook feeds stopped.  Now there’s no tech support.  
I switched to Day One.  Wow.  So much better!

### 2/5 — 容量

*2025-08-08*

ツールの位置付け上、長く使うほどストレージ容量の占有が増える一方なのがきつい。せめて写真やコンテンツの容量を圧縮する/エクスポートして手元保管（外部PCなど）できるようにしてほしい

### 1/5 — Gone downhill

*2025-08-03, version 3.6.5*

I signed up as a premium user, and now all the feeds I used to connect to (Swarm, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube) are broken and don’t work. There’s no way to contact support, and it hasn’t been updated in months. I will be using other apps.

### 4/5 — Feed issues

*2025-07-25, version 3.6.5*

Been using this app for a long time. Overall great app. Been having issues more frequently with connecting Swarm feed to the app. I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting multiple times but still hasn’t worked for a good while now.

### 1/5 — Cannot export data

*2025-07-19, version 3.6.5*

I’ve been using this app for a long time and I like it except that I can’t export my years worth of data, so I am always afraid I am going to lose all my entries. There is supposed to be a way to export files, but I always get an error message and customer service has never responded when I’ve reached out (multiple times). Without a solid way to save my files, the rest of the features on the app feel like they don’t matter.
