### 5/5 — Ayuda !!!!!

*2025-06-03, version 2.0.7*

Me pasa igual, escribo prácticamente todos los días y desearía saber como pasarlo al ordenador y poder guardarlo. Por favor necesito una respuesta !!!!!

### 5/5 — Años escribiendo

*2024-03-17, version 2.0.7*

### 5/5 — App

*2024-01-26, version 2.0.7*

No funciona se abre y se cierra. Alguna solución?

### 1/5 — Timo

*2023-11-28, version 2.0.7*

He pagado la versión Pro. Pues la aplicación me sigue poniendo que es la normal y si le doy a pro me dice que pague otra vez. 
Lo que escribes en el telf no se sincroniza con la tablet. 
Vamos un auténtico timo.
He pagado para nada.

### 5/5 — Aplicación

*2023-06-10, version 2.0.7*

Felicito al que aya hecho esta aplicación esta muy chula

### 5/5 — Day 1

*2023-04-10, version 2.0.7*

Adding a photo is a great idea to each entry. Enjoyable experience. Very happy.

### 1/5 — Problemas version PRO

*2023-03-16, version 2.0.7*

He comprado la versión PRO y automáticamente que he cerrado la aplicación no me la deja volver a abrir. Podria desinstalarla y volverla s instalar, pero perderé todas las entradas que he hecho desde la versión de prueba. No entiendo que funcione bien la versión de prueba y una vez pagas, pase esto. He intentado contactar con el desarrollador pero me lleva a un blog que no esta actualizado. He ido a su instagram y no publica desde el 2020. Alguien puede ayudarme a solucionarlo? No es tanto el importe del pago (aunque a nadie le gusta regalar el dinero), sino perder la información que ya tenia.

### 3/5 — No backups and export function

*2022-06-12, version 2.0.7*

Very limited functionality, what I’m missing is backups, import/export, syncing.

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2022-03-13*

Set a passcode today. Now, I can’t access my “Personal Diary”. When I press the app, the screen flashes once and returns to the same page without opening. I don’t even get a chance to enter my passcode. Is all my info for 2+ years gone or inaccessible?
SERVAMUS

### 1/5 — Es una estafa

*2022-02-22, version 2.0.7*

En cuanto pague la versión Pro, dejo de funcionar, ya no puedo volver a abrir el App y se perdió lo que escribí allí
