### 3/5 — Kinda good

*2026-04-06, version 2.3.1*

I love the app with all the emotions and stuff bu it can also be boring and useless bc u can’t do much with it.I want more different kinds of other things and activities.

### 2/5 — Where’s my  MOODA legacy beta?

*2026-01-26, version 2.4.0*

I can’t install 1.40 version now and  my diaries for 4 years are lost..when paid for the first version, it said I can use it for lifelong!But now all my datas are buried in the first version and nobody even informs me!!honestly there’s no any honest for your development team,you can’t even let your oldest users stay.REALLY REALLY ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Ads for paid app??

*2025-08-30, version 2.3.1*

I purchased this app few years back and now they are asking for extra money to get rid of ad. 30sec ad pops up after each entry. How crazy

### 1/5 — cash grab

*2025-07-26, version 2.3.1*

after years of using mooda and even buying paying for the original version (before the subscription model was introduced. i finally had to uninstall. i used to love the simplicity of this mood tracker and the little widgets but the idea of having to watch an ad or pay a subscription fee to simply use the app for daily mood tracking is absolutely evil.

### 4/5 — 写真

*2025-07-16*

・使いやすい

・日記なのに共有する機能いらないとは思う
(非公開にもできるからあまり気にならないけど)

・写真何枚も貼れるのはいいけど(有料)全部同じとこにしか貼れないのが不便

・カラーとか絵文字？は可愛くてすき

### 4/5 — 인터넷 왜 필요한건가요&영상

*2025-07-12*

무다 너무너무 잘 쓰고 있는 사용자입니다!! 유료까지 사용하고 있는데요:) 아쉬운 점이 두가지가 있는데
첫번째는 <인터넷>입니다
들어갈 띠 인터넷이 왜 필요한건지 모르겠어요 제가 저장한 일기를 보는데 인터넷이 왜 필요한건가요..? 메모나 사진같이 인터넷 없이도 쉽게 들어가서 볼 수 있었음 좋겠어요 ㅠㅠ
두번째는 <영상>인데 시간제한이 있더라도 영상도 삽입할 수 있는 기능이 생겼으면 좋겠어요!!
너무 좋지만 이 두가지 점이 보완된다면 더 좋을 것 같아요:)

### 1/5 — Forced update

*2025-06-13, version 2.3.1*

I had heard that the recent updates made the app unusable with constant ads and have purposely avoided updating for a few months. Now they’re preventing me from using the app at all unless I update so that they can bombard me with ads. I’ll be returning to the legacy app, which I paid for. If I had known that the new app would require a subscription, I never would have painstakingly transferred my data to this new version. Disappointing.

### 5/5 — Design diaries with different cute stickers

*2025-06-12, version 2.3.1*

It is a very good app for me  (I have only use 3 days), and it was free. I can stick different stickers and photos into my diary and allow me to record and track my thoughts and feelings through out my day. Thank you for the people who created this app! 😊

### 4/5 — 保存が有料化されてしまった…

*2025-06-09*

いくつかの表情マーク？と一枚の画像、文字……シンプルな構成の日記アプリ。

デザイン面がナチュラルで可愛い。落ち着く。

誰にも見せずひっそり内観するのにとても良い日記アプリとして、気に入って数年使っています。


最近になって保存が有料になってしまい、面倒くさくて少し残念です…。

でも唯一無二の日記アプリである事は代わりないので、
「誰にも見せず自由に書き出したい」人にオススメですよ

### 4/5 — Love it

*2025-06-06, version 2.3.1*

I love Mooda, but am displeased that I never got my money back from buying it originally (mooda legacy).

### 1/5 — I can not open the app

*2026-07-15, version 2.5.0*

I can not open moods legacy on my iPhone after installing the new version today right now. Now I feel so terrified of if I lose all my memories on this app. Could you please fix it please.

### 1/5 — Might have lost my years of journals for good

*2026-07-10, version 2.5.0*

Cannot access Mooda anymore since the launch of the new app. Wrote email to support and still no replies.

### 1/5 — 旧バージョンの日記が見れない

*2026-06-06*

妊娠発覚から子どもが１才になった日まで毎日書いていました。
妊娠した時の気持ち、妊娠中も仕事へ行ってたこと、子どもの名前やベビーグッズに悩んだこと、のんびりと過ごしてた産前休暇中のこと、予定より早く陣痛がきて無事産まれた日のこと、赤ちゃんとの生活、初めての寝返りやつかまり立ちをした時のこと、無事１才を迎え日のこと。
忙しい中未来の自分の為に、少しでも毎日書いていました。
久しぶりに読みたくなったら、見られなくなっててショックです。
返信は日本語なら日本語で返してください。

### 1/5 — データが全て消えた

*2026-04-29*

6年ほど前から旧バージョンのmoodalegacyを使ってましたが久しぶりに開こうと思ったらアプリが開けずデータが全て消えました。新バージョンに移行もできません。全ての思い出が入っていたのになんのお知らせや救済措置もなく、なにもかもなくなりました。日記アプリとしてありえない対応だと思います。ひどく動揺しています。新バージョンでも同様のことが予告なしに起こる可能性があるので今から使う方にはおすすめしません。星1つすら付けたくありません。

### 1/5 — ⚠️悪質なアプリです。インストールしないでください⚠️

*2026-04-21*

まず、なんの予告も前触れもなく、旧版(Legacy)がApp Storeから削除されました。
それに伴って、旧版に付けられていた日記は全て消え、運営に復旧の方法を問い合わせても「iCloudに保存されてるならそれをダウンロードしてください。iCloudにすら保存してないなら復旧はできません。さよなら。」と後出しジャンケン突っぱね状態。多くのユーザーが今現在この状態なのはレビューを見ていただければ分かるかと思います。

SNSベースにし課金による利益を得たいタイミングで、旧ユーザーのデータを意図も容易く消すような運営陣ですから、こちらのアプリもいつ運営都合で予告なく消されるか分かりません。
絶対にオススメしません、こんないつ消えるかわからないもんより質が良くて安く手に入る日記アプリは山ほどありますのでそちらをどうぞ。

### 1/5 — lol lost my 5 years diary

*2026-03-22, version 2.5.0*

I’ve been using mooda legacy for 5 years and it automatically updated itself so i freaking lost all my diaries👍just because i wasn’t using i cloud 👍

### 1/5 — 旧アプリの過去データ閲覧についてのお願い

*2026-02-26*

旧アプリを使用していました。
特別な日の気持ちを残す為に使っており、有料で購入したこともあって、まさか見られなくなるとは思っていませんでした。
忘れたくない大切な日々を記録してきました。これ以上、新しく記録ができなくても構いません。
どうかこれまでの日記だけでも閲覧できるようにしていただけないでしょうか。切実なお願いです。

이전 앱을 사용했습니다.
특별한 날의 기분을 남기기 위해서 사용하고 있어, 유료로 구입한 적도 있어, 설마 볼 수 없게 된다고는 생각하지 않았습니다.
잊고 싶지 않은 소중한 나날을 기록해 왔습니다. 더 이상 새로운 기록을 할 수 없어도 괜찮습니다.
지금까지의 일기만으로도 열람할 수 있게 해 주시지 않겠습니까. 절실한 부탁입니다.

**Developer response:** Hello, this is the MOODA team.

We sincerely apologize for the long delay in providing legacy app recovery support. Due to developer account issues, we were unable to process recovery requests for an extended period. After much effort, we've finally found a solution and the MOODA Legacy app is now temporarily available for download.

Please Note:
- The app is only temporarily available, so please download it as soon as possible.
- Once downloaded, you will be able to reinstall it anytime from your App Store purchase history.
- After launching the app, if your iCloud data is detected, you can use the app just as before.

We truly apologize again for the long wait, and thank you for your patience.

### 1/5 — MOODA Calendar Issue

*2026-02-06, version 2.4.0*

Hey MOODA team, this one star review is just for visibility, I will fix the rating once the issue is resolved.

Previously, the “faces” on the MOODA calendar were arranged in 7 day long rows, marked with Monday, Tuesday, etc. with clear numbers for each date.  This made it easy for us to track how we felt on each day of the week.  Human schedules often follow a weekly schedule.  Commitments usually happen repeatedly on the same day each week, and by organizing the calendar on a weekly basis, I could find out which days of the week were usually happier or sadder than others, and trace them back to specific events, which may have caused me to modify my commitments based on how they made me feel. Now, the “faces” are grouped in rows of 5, without dates or weekday labels, and although this allows the faces to be bigger, it hinders the analysis of patterns which is one of the main reasons I have been using the app, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.  Many others ate using this app to track emotional patterns as well.  It would make me much more eager to use this app if the calendar were reverted back to its seven day schedule.

Thank you so much, please let me know what you think!

### 1/5 — lost everything

*2025-11-30, version 2.3.1*

what happened to this app I loved it and had meaningful memories stored in it. But after the update I no longer have access to them and nothing can be done. Really frustrated hope it comes back in the future.

### 1/5 — Succumbed to Ads

*2025-09-05, version 2.3.1*

I really liked this app and used it to journal for years. They didn’t have ads and the user experience was simple and didn’t have any arbitrary social features. Now they added a bunch of unnecessary things and it’s honestly ruined the app for me.

### 5/5 — SUPER SUPER HELPFUL

*2026-08-17, version 2.3.1*

The app is really easy to use, really like that they have desktop version as well so I can type with my keyboard. The stickers and customization of everything on this app is so nice!

### 5/5 — 手軽で楽しい。紙の日記に出来たら嬉しい。

*2026-05-26*

legacyの時から使っています。
かなりゆるく使っていたため気づいた時には以前のログが消えてしまったのは残念ですが、自分にはこの顔スタンプで日々の調子が一目でわかるシンプルさと可愛さが好きで、変わらずお世話になっています。
そしてこれは希望なのですが、かある程度ログが溜まったら記録のある日だけ、アナログの日記に印刷してもらえるサービスがあれば嬉しいです。このアプリが大好きなので、ご検討いただければ幸いです。よろしくお願いいたします。

### 5/5 — Emotions

*2026-03-01, version 2.3.1*

As someone who has ADHD, Sever anxiety, and depression, sometimes I don’t recognize what I’m feeling. Being able to track my mood is important to me and the fact that I can write down my feelings helps too. Sometimes I feel too insecure to tell people what I’m feeling and my handwriting isn’t good. So being able to type my feelings helps me lift some weight off of my chest. I only wish things were free but I also understand that the money goes to the creators to help pay for taxes, rent, etc.

### 5/5 — классно

*2026-01-22*

прикольно. помимо текста и фото я дополнительно ещё и рисунки из стикеров делаю, это забавно. а ещё люди поддерживают, ести читают твое сообщение. конечно, я не знаю английского языка, а делать скриншоты нельзя…в принципе это хорошая идея, но жаль что я не всегда могу почитать некоторых людей. немного обидно, но ладно :’D

### 5/5 — Love

*2025-11-07, version 2.3.1*

Every app they make is great

### 5/5 — Very cute jornaling app from Korea

*2025-09-16, version 2.3.1*

Love the minimalist aesthetics, and super easy to use. They have many fonts to choose from. Only problem I have is I wish they would bring the custom faces back. I had the app a while back and I made a few friends through the custom faces feature. It built community and made the app stand out from other journaling apps. 

Other than that 10/10 app, would use as my main sorce for journaling!

### 5/5 — Loveee this app

*2025-08-14, version 2.3.1*

It’s so easy to journal my daily life when I have this app on every step. And I loveee how I can customise my pages and add photos that just makes me wanna use this app even more!!!

### 5/5 — 무다

*2025-08-07, version 2.3.1*

어떤 하루였는지 돌아볼수있고 기록할수있는게 너무 좋고 원래 일기를 아예 안쓰던 저도ㅠ너무 귀여운 이모지 덕분에 아주 잘 사용하고있어용!위젯도 너무 귀엽네용 다만 프리미엄을 사용할려면 유료이고 방을 꾸밀수있는데 다양한 가구?그런게 없어서 아쉽네요

### 5/5 — Really easy to use and cute design

*2025-06-30*

I really love the design and how it has more than 5 usual emotions, also I like how even Free plan has a lot of different features. :)

### 5/5 — Kash

*2025-06-24, version 2.3.1*

I love this app it helps me express myself and what I’m going through each day or what happened during the day.
