### 5/5 — Great, simple, beautiful app

*2026-03-10*

I use this daily. For me, I have other dedicated apps for journaling or saving photos, but this one brings me joy because it is so simple and lovely to look back on! I add one picture a day (you can add more if you want) and then at the end of the month I have a snapshot of what was going on in life. Love it!

**Developer response:** Hi! I’m so happy to hear that the app brings you joy! I intentionally kept it simple so you can get that monthly snapshot without the clutter of traditional journaling. It’s wonderful that you’re enjoying the overviews. If you have ideas or questions, reach me at benedikt@picdiary.app. Thanks for the support!

Best, Benedikt

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-02-19*

I have been looking for an app that helps me remember what I have been doing using photos. Several apps do this but this one has good editing capabilities and you see the images in a calendar which is perfect!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really happy to hear that the calendar view and editing tools are helping you keep track of your memories.

If you ever have any ideas or questions, just reach out to me at benedikt@picdiary.app.

Cheers, Benedikt

### 5/5 — Great Mix of Features

*2026-02-16*

It’s hard to find a photo journaling app with a cute aesthetic as well as the right mix of simplicity and helpful features. I tested a bunch of different ones, and this was the one I kept coming back to! I like that I can see my calendar of photos with or without numbers. I also love that it automatically generates slideshows and other exports. The prices for premium & lifetime versions are very fair as well. Plus, you can tell the developer is still keeping up with app updates regularly. Definitely recommend!

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you so much for the lovely and detailed review! I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying the balance of simplicity and features in PicDiary. Since I'm developing the app on my own, it's really rewarding to know that the regular updates and fair pricing are appreciated.

If you ever have any ideas or feedback, feel free to reach me at benedikt@picdiary.app.

Cheers, Benedikt

### 5/5 — New baby memory app

*2026-02-14*

Using this as a simple baby memory app it allows me to take a moment every day and try to reflect on something simple and good. Love the ease of use

**Developer response:** Thank you! Using the app as a baby journal is such a beautiful idea. It’s the perfect way to freeze those tiny moments without any added stress. I’m glad the ease of use helps you find that quiet minute of reflection each day. If you have any suggestions for parents, let me know at benedikt@picdiary.app!

### 5/5 — My favourite app of the year.

### 5/5 — So pleasant

*2026-01-19*

I’m very impressed with this app. Its simplicity encourages one to step away from distraction and savor the moment. 

The features are deliberate and not bloated with excess. I even shared some feedback with the developer and was so pleased to see a desired feature added! Wow. Lifetime app purchase is a no brainer.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for this incredible review. It was a real pleasure implementing your feature request! Feedback like yours is exactly what helps me shape the app in the right direction. I’m thrilled that you value the focus on the essentials and decided to go for the Lifetime purchase. That is a huge support for me, I highly appreciate it!

Happy journaling, Benedikt

### 5/5 — Great photo diary app

*2026-01-10*

I’m enjoying the app. It helps me remember the highlights of my day. Makes me smile to see them at a glance. I emailed the developer to find out how to print the captions along with the photos to put in my scrapbook. He responded quickly and gave instructions on how to do a workaround. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you so much! 😊 I’m really happy to hear that my email instructions were helpful. It means a lot to hear your feedback! I'm happy that I could help!

Best,

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-01-01, version 26.01.0*

This app is so seamless and amazing. Does exactly what I was wishing for.

### 5/5 — The good times go by too fast

*2025-12-30*

This app forces me to slow down every day and reflect on my day. I love using the pictures along with writing what happened. I know in the coming years it will be great to go back and reminisce about these days and the little details we forget as time goes on

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It’s wonderful to hear that PicDiary helps you find a moment of calm and reflection in your daily routine. Preserving those small, everyday details is exactly why I created the app, and I’m so glad you’re building a beautiful archive to look back on in the years to come.

If you ever have any questions, ideas, or feedback, please feel free to reach out to me anytime at benedikt@picdiary.app. Happy journaling!

### 5/5 — Wowowow

*2025-11-25*

I’ve only downloaded this app and started using it, but so far I am happy with what I’ve seen throughout the app. The set-up is cute, the premium locked-away options are fair and don’t restrict you to an overwhelming amount when using the app. That’s all I know so far, but I love it!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback! 😊 I’m glad you’re enjoying the app and finding the balance with the premium features fair. If you have any questions or ideas as you explore more, you can reach me at benedikt@picdiary.app.

Best, Benedikt

### 5/5 — I LOVE LOVE LOVEE

LOVE THIS APP! i cant have any posting apps and this is perfect for the girlies who cant have socials but want to post! it also saves it as memories!! one thing tho, u should add videos!! where u can videos as memories As well!!

**Developer response:** I’m so happy you love PicDiary! 🥰 That’s such a sweet way to describe it — a private place to “post” just for yourself. You’re right about videos; I’ll look into how they could be added in a way that works well with the rest of the app, like exporting and recaps. If you have more ideas, feel free to email me at benedikt@picdiary.app

Best,
Benedikt

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Im Prinzip ok - ABER…

*2024-11-20, version 1.6.4*

Das ist Programm ist toll - vor allem die Überstzung des gesprochenen Textes durch die KI. Aber es hat einen Bug der für mich ein KO-Kriterum ist. 

Wenn an bestehende Einträge eines Tages ein weiterer hinzugefügt werden soll und man setzt den Cursor nicht explizit ans Ende des Textes werden alle Einträge des Tages ohne Rückfrage gelöscht und lassen sich auch nicht wiederherstellen. Der Speicher-Button an der Stelle ist nur Makulatur. Es wird ohne Rückfrage gespeichert und der bestehende Text wird überschrieben.

Wer um alles in der Welt programmiert so was?

### 2/5 — Hübsche App, leider wenig Funktionen

*2024-12-01, version 1.6.4*

Mir persönlich ist die Hauptansicht in Kalenderform bisschen zu langweilig, es wäre schöner wenn es zusätzlich(!) auch eine Liste geben würde, die mehrere Tage umfassen würde. So wie es beispielsweise die MyDiary App macht. 

Aber ansonsten schöne Ideen mit dem Monatsrückblick, die Diktierfunktion ist auch super praktisch.

Leider ist es extrem nervig, dass man wenn man Fotos hinzufügen will, nur ein Foto auswählen kann. Wenn ich jetzt für einen Tag vor 2 Monaten etwas hinzufügen will, muss man dauernd bis dahin scrollen.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2025-07-03, version 1.14.2*

It’s a nice app, I just wish there was a way to save photo with the journaling together

### 3/5 — Upload und Zugriff

*2024-08-30, version 1.5.1*

Leider nur Upload von 2 Bildern- und habe gelesen das man später nicht mehr auf die Bilder und Einträge zugreifen kann. Habe ich selber noch nicht erlebt da ich die App erst 2 Wochen nutze, jedoch wäre dann alles verschenkte Lebensmüh.  sonst finde ich es passend für das was ich damit möchte. Warten wir mal ab..

### 4/5 — more photo

*2025-10-09, version 1.16.3*

i just wish you could add more just 5 photo

### 4/5 — Hintergrundbild und Stil

*2024-12-05, version 1.6.4*

Sonst bin ich zufrieden. Es fehlt Hintergrund Farbpalette.

### 5/5 — Favourite app

*2026-08-11, version 26.07.0*

I have never written a review of anything before… but I genuinely love this app. I treasure it so much. I’m in my final year of high school and I love how I can visually see how far through I am. This app has become my favourite app on my phone even over social media. I try to take 10-20 minutes a day reflecting and writing it all down. It makes it sooo much easier as well when trying to remember how long ago something was… or what I did on a particular day. I just am so glad I have it

### 5/5 — So easy to use

*2026-06-28, version 26.06.0*

This app is so simple to use. Intuitive. Good overview screen that allows you to hone in on a day in the past based on the key photo that was uploaded.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-06-04*

Love the user interface and the prompts! Makes you reflect on your day in a positive way!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! Really happy to hear the prompts help you reflect on your day. That's exactly the intention behind them. If you ever have ideas or suggestions, feel free to reach out at benedikt@picdiary.app.

Best regards,
Benedikt

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2026-05-28, version 26.04.0*

I love this app. I deleted most of my socials and this is a nice way to record my day with pictures and a journal entry.

### 5/5 — Fun app

*2026-03-21*

Cool app. I’m a photographer but sometimes I forget to just enjoy photography for myself. This daily photo journal keeps me doing just that. Plus it’s a good way to reflect on each passing day.

### 5/5 — Downloaded as a digital journal for my daughter someday.

*2026-03-17*

She’s got a real scrapbook too obviously but I really wanted to document being a new mom in this format and this app is perfect for what I wanted to use it for. I love this app! Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Perfect picture diary

*2026-03-13*

I love the layout and simplistic way of adding pics to days and being able to add some detail writing.

**Developer response:** Hi Jessica! Thank you for the kind words. I'm thrilled the concept works so well for you. Adding pictures and details should be fun and simple! Should you have any suggestions or questions, you can always reach me at benedikt@picdiary.app. Thanks for the support!
