The animation is great, the prices are low, the characters are adorable, and 98% of all the features are free. Anyone thinking of buying this app, do it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (I hardly ever give good reviews so understand this is a big deal) ### 5/5 — I LOVE this diary app!😍 *2020-10-25, version 1.3* This app is great! I is easy to find your way around the app. It is also VERY customizable, which is pretty cool. Also, unlike most diary apps, the password/lock is free. In fact other than little packages you can purchase, the whole game is basically free. I would definitely recommend this to someone who is needing a place to keep secrets and deep thoughts. ### 5/5 — :) *2020-10-16, version 1.3* WOW! This app is great! So first of all I’m really happy you don’t have to pay for every little thing (unlike a lot of other diary apps) It’s also pretty nice that there are emoticons, different backgrounds, and the fact that you can add a photo! I’m 10 and my parents are trying to save money so I’m really happy that you only have to pay for extra app themes which I don’t really feel like I need. So I’d definitely recommend! :) ### 5/5 — TOO CUTE OMG *2020-10-12, version 1.3* This is literally the best diary app ever!everyone who’s reading this gotta get it!

It is free and sooooo cute. I really love it. But the only problem is that if I accidentally delete the app, all of my memories would be deleted. Like once the app is gone everything is gone. I would really love it if there was like an option to save the data.

It is also vary much directed to girls using it - not saying boys can’t like pink and cute stuff - just because it says in the ‘Quick chat,’ things like, “I walked home with him today,” and, “I will never forget what he said.” So, no. Just no. Maybe if it was not so ‘creepy,’ but no. I download it, and deleted it in under 5 minutes. I might just be being a hater, but I do really hate it. P.S. Sorry for whoever made this, I know you worked hard for this, I am just not a fan. ### 2/5 — U can’t see what ur writing and it took my days to under stand !! *2021-03-08, version 1.3* In my option I hate this game it’s confusing and u can’t see what ur writing this is not that cool why u may ask won u can’t see what ur typing . TO it is hard to get to use we’re to type . Three it doesn’t seem just like a typing game it’s like a big old work book ! FOUR it can be confusing for younger kids at the age of 7 and under . This is why I gave a bad rating . Sorry just don’t like it ! ### 2/5 — Sunday and Monday are not selectable *2021-03-07, version 1.3* The app works well as a password protected diary, but only for 5 days a week. Sunday and Monday are cut off of the calendar. So if you only plan to use this Tuesday through Saturday you’re in luck. It’s really unfortunate it’s like this, because the app is super cute and works well. Also passwords can only be 4 numeral digits. Not super secure. All in all, get a different app if you are looking for something more secure or if Sunday and Monday are days you believe in. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2021-01-25, version 1.3* This is very cute let me say that first . My problem is the ads pop up everytime I stopped writing. I wanted to add an emoji , had to wait for the ad to end to go back to writing . This happened two more times in like a 3 minute time period , so I just deleted the app. There are many other cute diaries without the pop up ads interfering with your enjoyment. If I have to wait for the ads to end I forget my thoughts. This could be a great app if they didn’t have so many ads . ### 3/5 — A little young *2021-01-18, version 1.3* Is very cute and works extremely well, exactly as described in description of the app. My only problem with it is it seems to be geared toward a younger audience, who may not have devices of their own. I downloaded this app because I wanted a simple journaling app with a visual aspect. The visuals of this are very girly and a bit distracting/annoying. I would recommend to pink, princess loving 7-8 year olds. I have had this app on my phone for two years now and never use it because of the busy layout and imagery. It seems like some cute Kawaii/anime themed thing, but in reality the app is just borderline annoying. ### 3/5 — Needs work *2020-12-11, version 1.3* It’s been boring since I got this game a few weeks later I got better and better and better I started to like it more but they should not lock the they should not let you pay for the little diary the love diary and everything else that you have to pay for and you don’t even get to use your password I tried I closed out the game tab then put it back in still doesn’t work it still did not give me the password I get very angry about this😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 because it’s not easy when you get a app to write all your secrets in and then they’re not secrets anymore they just are loose that is terrible definitely needs work some people should reconsider getting this game and some are good at this I kind of love this game but it’s difficult and why do they make the keyboard letters so small my fingers type in the wrong numbers all over the place they should fix this ### 3/5 — It has so much potential! *2020-06-24, version 1.3* I really love this app and the premise of it. It’s so cute without being overly cheesy! But it just seems so...novice? Like you can set a reminder to write in here, but it only gives you numbers and you have to figure out that it means a time to write in there as opposed to a date. Also the layout is super weird on the iPhone 11 promax. In addition I really feel like there should be a premium journal option!Yes you can pay to have the ads stop but that’s about it. And as another user has stated. It would be beneficial to add an auto safe option, so that if you back out all of your writing is not lost. I really think this has so much growth potential!I definitely love that it’s not as crowded and confusing as other journal apps. ### 4/5 — Awesome but one flaw 😕 *2023-08-19* This app is amazing, free wallpaper and password but the thing that annoys me is the ADS! They appear every time you press 5 4 or 3 buttons. When I am editing or adding photos, they pop up and it is extremely annoying. If you could MAYBE just leave the diary themes you already have that people have to pay for and get rid of ads? It kinda ruins my diary experience. For those who don’t have a grudge against this, totally download this! It’s really cute and all! Thanks! No hard feelings. ### 4/5 — Needs some fixes *2022-04-04, version 1.3* It’s hard to change your password at some times but overall this helped me. It helps me vent and get all my anger out without people knowing. I like it a lot and I def recommend this tbh. It really js needs some changes. There’s ads too but not too bad. The password problem is tiring. ### 4/5 — Simple and Cute *2021-04-28, version 1.3* There’s a lot of cute backgrounds, banners, and even fonts to choose from so that’s a plus. There’s also the option to add photos to your journal posts which I like a lot. One thing the app definitely needs is autocorrect integration. If you’re bad at spelling and punctuation, not the app for you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — THIS IS SERIOUSLY SO GOOD!! *2023-02-02, version 1.3* So I’ve been wanting a diary app for SO LONG!
