### 5/5 — Decent Diary for free

*2018-01-10, version 3.1*

I really like the features of the Orange Diary. Specially the fact that you can add photos and voice memos to your diary notes. It would be ideal if i could give titles to each of my diary notes. This would help me titles to navigate easier to the different topics/themes of my diary. The fact that I can lock the access is brilliant.

### 5/5 — Best!

*2018-01-10, version 3.1*

Loving the app so far! Great way to keep memories i can remember for a long time ☺️

### 5/5 — 好好好

*2017-12-12, version 2.1*

非常不错 但是备份功能感觉有限制 日记备份应该变成最基本的功能 vip才享受有多伤心

### 5/5 — 赞哦！

*2017-12-11, version 2.1*

青橙日记真的很好用，功能齐全。里面的信纸都很可爱，很唯美，让你的日记记录更加精彩。

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2017-08-22, version 1.7*

This is a great app.  I've used it over a year and it's on the most useful apps with a good intention.   Great work!   I usually don't do app reviews but this deserves it!

### 5/5 — The best...

*2016-06-15, version 1.6*

I've been searching for my perfect Diary/journal app for a long time. This one is absolutely wonderful. It's beautifully created with pictures and illustrations, font choices, theme choices, background etc. Yes it may cost a bit more to buy vip than other apps..but if your serious about wanting a quality app that delivers what it promises then this is for you. It's worth every penny. I love it.

### 4/5 — Memories

*2016-05-25, version 1.6*

I've only been using this app for a couple of days and it takes a little bit to get used to,but I think it's great if you just want to record a simple memories, thoughts and how you feel.
Enjoying the app

### 4/5 — "Moment" and "Timeline" are very practical

*2016-05-07, version 1.5*

I have been using this app for several weeks for a special purpose, because these two features have been so helpful. If you need to keep a record of something but you don't have much time to write, you can make a quick note with a date stamp (which is easily edited if you need to change it). Later on when you get more time, you can scroll through the Timeline, check over your notes, and add a diary with more details or comments on the Moment you recorded earlier.  You may attach photos as well. This is a great app to record "field notes". 

I don't care for the PDF wallpapers. I wish the app could export as text or in different text formats, such as text, markdown, rtfd, etc. but I don't think I am the "typical" user for this app. Other people should try it and see if they can also use it in a situation where you don't have time to write much but absolutely need to record some information on time.

I was using this app to record when medications were given to a very sick person I am taking care of. I could scroll through the Timeline and get an idea about what medications were helping and for how long. It wasn't hard to figure out how to use this app which has been crucial at this time. Yesterday the developer updated the app and it began crashing but it was fixed the same day--which always is commendable.

### 4/5 — Orange diary!

*2016-03-28, version 1.3*

I'm gonna rate this 4 stars mainly because I had this app before but I deleted it because I didn't find myself using it much so I've downloaded it again and I'm rating it 4 stars because this is the best diary app I have downloaded before. It's different from the other diary apps and it is more fun and looks cool and professional unlike the other tacky apps. This is the best diary app in my opinion because it's super cool and better than the other ones. I give this a big thumbs up👍👌Plus this app is better than writing in an actual diary because people can read it so it's much safer on your phone because nobody goes on your phone!! 🔥😋😘💜🎀🔮♥️

### 4/5 — Good

*2016-02-27, version 1.2*

It's actually very good. Unlimited words and entries which is good and not like others that I h e tried out.

### 1/5 — 不安全

*2020-01-16, version 4.3*

一个账号可以登陆多个手机，并不会一台手机登陆后，另一个地方退出

### 1/5 — Don't bother with the update

*2018-10-19, version 4.3*

I bought this app and LOVED it!! I updated it today, signed in and it immediately closes. So frustrating.

### 2/5 — Irritating ads. Mediocre but useable.

*2016-04-04, version 1.3*

The user interface is ok but could use some 
re-working. 

The app. Is free because there are full screen ads after every entry. You have to pay to upload any info online to transfer it to a different devise.

### 3/5 — Cute Journal, Needs Polish

*2018-12-27, version 4.3*

Was looking for a simple way to track some health issues throughout the day and see a timeline w/date and timestamps per-entry. Paid the $7.99 to get rid of the annoying Chinese language ads, only to get stuck on a screen w/auto-renewal options and no opt-out. Hopefully this thing doesn’t lock me into recurring payments. Also, after upgrading you have to create an account and the registration page is all in Chinese as well. Some quirks, but works well and has a nice UX.

### 3/5 — Looks awesome but I'm Unsure

*2017-02-23, version 1.7*

I have the free version atm.. I'm really liking the idea of this app however this version doesn't support my being able to see what the PDF export even looks like. It requests me to upgrade, hmm honestly what I see on my screen is my photo cropped, yes if I tap in it I can see the full photo but not on my diary page.. I'm not willing to pay 9-10$ if I can't see how my PDF page will look or see how well the export is. I note I can only put 5 photos on the slide show before needing to upgrade and not sure if there is a limit on entries as well, only have one atm. This is fair enough, my point is can you not make it do we can have a limit on how many exports we can do before upgrade. Honestly if I could just ensure my photos are not cropped and my dates are on separate pages in the PDF I would pay for this app. But having been so disappointed with so many diary apps I'm not happy to pay this amount if I'm not happy with the photos and the export. Can this be rectified please because this app really looks potentially awesome!

### 4/5 — Good but has some problems

*2025-05-16, version 8.2*

I like the app but I hate that you can’t even make an account in the first place so how do you login if there’s no account?! It’s cute and aesthetic but most of the features are locked and you have to get vip.

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2019-07-19, version 4.3*

I’ve been looking for a quick way to log daily experiences and sentiments; and this is working for that. I do wish there were some additional features though, like a search function (to find entries by key words) and a way to jump to a particular date’s entry without scrolling through everything.

### 4/5 — Cute diary

*2019-01-13, version 4.3*

I like this app because it gives you the chance to customise many little things like background, font, color, etc you can add photos and vocals notes, emojis to your daily diary; you can write down “moments” adding tags and locations. The ads on the free version of the app are not bothered that much which is cool :) 
Anyway the free one doesn’t let you save in their servers the photos so if you don’t want to lose them better get the full version of the app.. you pay only once for it and you can unlock as well more backgrounds, fonts, etc. 

**there is a mistake in the calendar (days and not matching with dates), is it possible to fix it?**

### 4/5 — 什么时候能出一个电脑版

*2018-08-31, version 4.1*

界面很好看，很友好，希望能有云端同步，电脑和手机都可以用。

### 4/5 — Orange Diary App Review

*2018-01-14, version 3.1*

Orange Diary is a good app overall, but if you change phones, all the photos will be lost only if you are logged in as a free guest.

### 5/5 — Loving this app!

*2025-05-02*

This app is so good! I can keep all my thoughts and feelings in one place and it makes me feel so relived to know that no one can read them. Whoever made this app is the best!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-08-14, version 8.2*

I love this diary. I love the backgrounds, fonts and Its awesome how you can export it to PDF. 
The photos and moments features are also good.
And the auto-sync feature is useful.
I have VIP and it really doesn’t cost that much.
