### 3/5 — Ads

*2026-01-03, version 3.1.1*

Loved the app for a few months, but they just changed the model to free/premium. So now, even though I paid for the app at download, I get ads. Pretty annoying.

### 2/5 — Had the app for YEARS shouldn’t have to pay

*2025-12-30, version 3.1.0*

Absolutely love this app BEFORE and it was originally FREE w/ up to 10mins recording 5 each for each day and now This Year (2025) had it since 21/22…it’s saying I have to pay and it’s 5mins now? Unacceptable.

### 4/5 — Been trying to find a good app to keep an audio journal in….

*2023-09-16, version 2.4.0*

I’ve always done an audio journal into Apple’s Voice Notes, but it was honestly not a pleasing interface and you can’t lock it. I really like how this app is structured. I gave it 4/5 stars because I feel like it has so much potential! I would love to use this app horizontally because as of now, its only available in vertical mode (I use my iPad like a laptop, for typing). 

Another thing is, I know the app emphasizes how “voices of the day that cannot be left in writing”, however, I would still like the ability to have ‘notes’ integrated in. Mainly because sometimes, I look back in my journals and some could be really emotional. I would like the option to see a note saying that it might retraumatise me if I were to listen to it back if that makes sense LOL. I know there’s the title option, but you can only write so much in the titles. This could also be an option for people who want to add to their recording if they have reached the recording limit or is just simply done talking and would like to just write down whatever. Sometimes a situation might not be ideal to record something and if you’re feeling emotional and might want to write down something at the peak of your emotion, writing it might be the best choice!

 If that gets implemented on, the app would literally be so so perfect!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2022-05-17, version 2.3.0*

Great app. Exactly what I was looking for. I just wish the recording time would be increased to 20 minutes or removed all together.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me in the app

*2022-05-14, version 2.2.0*

I’m so sad, I was so excited to use this app but then I went to open it, it said I needed a pin to get in, however I had yet to set one. I’ve emailed the company like it said and it’s been over a week without any response. I really want to use this app but I can’t even get in.

### 4/5 — Good but needs improvements

*2022-05-09, version 2.2.0*

Nice app, simple and clean UI and easy to use and navigate. Would be improved if included the following things: 

- Add the ability to increase the speed of voice note playback!
- Add the ability to add tags to diary entry such as #school #work #friends  to better organise and categories entries 
- Add a dark mode 
- Add Touch ID 
- Add text to speech feature (if possible)
- Add the ability to have multiple voice entries in one day

### 3/5 — Time

*2022-03-30, version 2.2.0*

This app is lovely but the time limit makes no sense to me. Why can't I save a recording shorter than 10mins? Why can't I make two recordings a day of 5mins each; one for the morning to start my day and the other at night to finish off?

### 4/5 — Time limitation

*2022-01-18, version 2.1.0*

Just downloaded and had my first recording. It’s a good app, nice design, clear functions and also a little statistics.

But if you really insist on the time limitation why don’t you set that as a count down? I think that makes more sense. :))

### 3/5 — The performance is not stable recently

*2022-01-12*

I have been using the app everyday for over 2 years and it has been really good! Easy to use and reliable. But only very recently since I upgraded my phone , the performance has be very unstable. Sometime it stops recording or the app just froze. I am not sure what happened. Is that because it doesn’t work with iPhone 13?

**Developer response:** Hello, I am a developer. First of all, we apologize for the inconvenience. It is difficult to determine why the app was down, but we will try to update it by investigating the relevant feedback. It may be a problem with the model of the cell phone. I'll look for it! Thanks for the feedback. have a good day:)

### 3/5 — More customisation

*2022-01-12, version 2.1.0*

I like the simplicity of this app but I wish there was a little more customisation? Just like changing the colours of the emotions or having the weeks start on Mondays. Also the memo deleting when you go back on yourself once you’ve pressed stop (rather than pause) is frustrating as it means you can’t add any more. Overall a good app though!!
