Every time you get a text and go to look at it while you are writing something or your screen goes onto lock screen, the app deletes the last thing you wrote since you last saved. It doesn't auto save even tho you haven't closed the app. Also it's not that secret as when you press view all screens on your phone it shows secret note and the page with all your writing on. ### 3/5 — Alright *2016-04-02* This app is nice and simple, nothing too complicated. Though I would like to say that the security might be a tiny bit lacking, because there is only a five digit password. To the people who made it, could you please add a fingerprint scanner into the security? It also doesn't take up too much space on your device, since it is only three megabytes. Another aspect is that it is free, and I am pretty sure it doesn't ask you for any money. All in all it is alright. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time *2016-01-18* Ads pop up every few seconds and actually makes you stop typing to look at the ad. Ads will also keep your notes from saving sometimes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not get and waste your time DANGEROUS *2019-12-12* Deletes everything you say even after prolonging yourself to endless ads after every sentence. Steals your content if you leave the app and then expects you to pay to reopen. Fraud do not get app. ### 1/5 — Ads *2019-08-21* Typed like 6 letters then got an ad...already gave up on it ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2018-10-13* I forgot to mention that I am uninstalling this app after having it for about 15minutes. ### 1/5 — Awful *2018-07-28* Wrote a big long message and it never saved it. Also the annoying request to upgrade so you don’t get an ad every 2 minutes drives you mad deleted app after 15 minutes. Auto save should be default! ### 1/5 — Not good *2017-06-20* So I was writing something and a add came on and it lost all of my writing and when I had a call it did the same thing and you can't right anything or do anything without a add coming on and when you put you password in it comes up with a add so what I am saying it has to many adds and deletes all my writing awful 😿🙀😾 ### 1/5 — It's game garbage *2017-05-10* The app delete everything and their is some ads every 10 secs ### 1/5 — Crap *2017-04-29* I was in the middle of literally pouring my heart out into this massive paragraph of things I needed to get off my chest went off the app for 2 seconds when I went back on it I had lost everything I wrote because apparently you have to save it before. I get it's a private app but I shouldn't of lost everything due to going off it. Should of automatically saved to be honest, would make it 10x better. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2017-01-30* Very glitchy, other reviews pretty much cover it. Fix this app ### 1/5 — реклама на полный экран *2017-01-02* реклама на полный экран и видео! некрасиво ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2016-12-27* I got this app to record a diary and I lost everything I had typed when an advert popped up. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Forget password how to reset? *2022-03-21, version 1.4* Forget password how to reset? Urgent! ### 5/5 — Forget password *2020-12-08, version 1.4* Forget password how yo reset ? ### 5/5 — HELP *2019-10-03* Me forgot pin need notes please help 😭 ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2016-04-15* To put it straight, it is an elegant and simple to use app, and performs its function well. Of course, there are pop up ads, but that is to be expected from a free app of this quality. ### 5/5 — I love it *2015-07-18* I love this app I would recommend it to girl that have secrets best app ### 5/5 — SOLID!!!!!!! *2015-06-13* Exactly what it says it does. Secures your private notes. It has a 5 digit passCode which is much better than 4 obviously and not 1 ad. Thanks a ton to the developers of this secure note app. Cheers!! ### 5/5 — Amazing Secret Diary *2015-05-12* This is by far, the best ,handy app that I can write in and have it be a secret. Excellent app for serious people. ### 4/5 — Nice *2016-12-25* Great app. Actually better then most similar apps in App Store. But needs little more options. Pleased update ### 4/5 — Only good one *2016-11-08* It's the same as notes except it has a password .It's the only free journal app that actually works ,so it's great but a couple of bells and whistles wouldn't hurt. ### 4/5 — Good app. We need to extra buttons:) *2016-03-13* Hi. The app is a good one. But there is room for improvement:) Could you add 2 new buttons : save all notes to dropbox as txt & restore all notes from dropbox txt files? It would make the app excellent.
