### 5/5 — 기분 표시기능 커스텀 가능할까요?

*2026-08-05*

기타 다른 어플들에도 해당기능이 포함되어 있는 경우를 종종 보게 되는데 커스텀 가능한건 못본것 같아요. 따로 요청 해봤지만 변경된적은 없구요. 개발자님은 현재 활발히 활동 중인듯 하여 요청 드려봅니다. 최근 개발중이신 어플들 유용하게 사용중입니다. 🙂

**Developer response:** 사용자분이 가지고계신 아이콘을 사용하고 싶으신 건가요.?
제 메일로 조금만 더 자세하게 알려주시면 반영해 보도록 하겠습니다.
소중한 리뷰 감사합니다.

### 5/5 — 잘 쓰고 있습니다.

*2026-07-20*

직관적이고 사용하기 편리해서 잘 쓰고 있습니다. 다만 아이패드로 사용시에 뒤로가기 버튼을 누르면 멈추는 현상이 있습니다. 그리고 건의사항으로 글씨에 따라 화면이 자동으로 내려가는 기능이 있으면 좋겠습니다. 화면 가득 일기 쓰면 손으로 일일히 올려줘야 하는 번거로움이 은근히 귀찮더라구요. 이 점 빼면 아주 만족하며 사용중입니다. 감사합니다.

**Developer response:** 소중한 의견 감사합니다.
다음 업데이트에 반영 하도록 하겠습니다.

### 5/5 — 선택 사항으로

*2026-07-04*

한줄 씩 입력 가능하게 옵션 설정으로 어려울까요

**Developer response:** 다음 업데이트에 반영 하도록 하겠습니다.
의견 감사합니다.
