Now it crashes and I cannot access any of my data! *2024-01-31, version 2.4.1* A diary is for all our most important moments! Please stabilize the app as it began to crash a couple of months ago without warning. Now I cannot even open old entries or export data! Please help! ### 3/5 — Will no longer open *2020-06-03* Used this app for many years. It crashes every time I try to open the app now. It was great while it lasted ### 2/5 — Can’t access stuff in the app due to needing update for iOS 11 *2017-09-26* I need to access the app but cannot because it will not open with the iOS 11 update. This needs to be fixed and there is no one to contact for this app. **Developer response:** Hi, A new version should be live within 1 week with iOS 11 support ### 4/5 — Can't correct or add text *2016-04-23* Unable to correct text misspellings or to change text. The only way to remove something would be to wipe everything off and delete. I am thinking of closing out this app and no longer use it. ### 4/5 — great app, please improve backup *2015-07-02* An older version of the QuickDiary app allowed the user to backup all entries in chronological order (by either most or least recent), which could be saved to the computer. Now backing up the journal will just save a file which can only be accessed in the app. Please add the PDF export back. I would like to be able to export the entries to an email to edit on the computer. Thank you ### 3/5 — Close to what I need *2013-08-11* App crashes when I choose more than 2 numerical numbers when filter sort by text. I Need to be able to sort text numerically. I need the ability to E-mail batch files. Currently can only e-mail one diary entry at time. I need to email entire contents. It claims you can email entire diary by going to settings and tapping on the clip icon in upper right corner, but there is no clip icon to perform this task. I like the back up capabilities via email and I cloud. This is a real positive and a must for me. In summary app is close to what I'm needing, just fix crash, add ability to sort text numerically, add ability to e-mail all files(need the clip icon you claim that the app has)and add a place I can contact you. Do these things and you will have a good app worth paying money for. ### 3/5 — Help! *2013-05-13, version 2.3* This app has all of my important notes in it and since the new upgrade it just crashes. Please help ### 3/5 — HELP ME! *2013-05-12, version 2.3* Hey so I try to open this app and it goes to the title screen but then it instantly crashed and I can't do anything! It does this ever time!!! And I can't do anything about it! There is some REALLLLLLY important stuff wrote in there to!! So please help! ### 2/5 — Password *2013-05-11, version 2.3* I forgot my password and when I try to retrieve it, only part of it shows up. Not the full thing.... ### 3/5 — Japanese keyboard *2013-04-28, version 2.2* The last line gets hidden when I use Japanese flick keyboard. Would appreciate if you could fix that. I like the app for its simplicity and search function. ### 4/5 — Layout is Dated, but best 'sync'... *2013-04-27, version 2.2* ...unlike other programs I e-mail all my entries on an iPod Touch 4 to my iPhone 4S & opened it & Voila! : all the notes where there just like they where on the Touch. Can't say for most programs, even ones using iCloud sync. ### 2/5 — I loved it in the beginning, until the entries vanished *2013-02-01, version 2.2* I started using the quick diary to keep track of things and my daily activities. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Since then I have been found to have a number of other immune disorders, my mom passed, my nephew stays with me, my granddaughter was born & I keep her for her patents work. This app was important to me. I contacted the company but wasn't helped. I hope they contact me... ### 2/5 — Customer Service? *2012-11-06, version 2.1* For several months now I have been unable to get this app to send notes to Facebook. I have sent inquiries to the email address but haven't gotten a response. The error I'm getting is ERROR: This endpoint has been deprecated. To temporarily reenable it, you may disable the "august_2012" platform migration. It will be disabled permanently on August 1, 2012. When will there be a fix? ### 4/5 — Plaese *2012-10-20, version 2.1* First I realy like this app!!!!! But I liked if their were stickers. And if their were only a password. Also if you can put pictures. And it ### 3/5 — Like it *2012-09-28, version 2.1* Yeah, not bad actually but need iCloud support badly!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please fix app! Now it crashes and I cannot access any of my data! Support stopped without warning *2026-05-24* A diary is for all our most important moments! Please stabilize the app as it began to crash without warning. Now I cannot even open old entries or export data! At least let us access and export since you didn’t warn us!

What do I do now?!?! ### 1/5 — Long time user *2020-10-07, version 2.4.1* Was completely happy with the app. But I changed from an iPhone 7 to the iPhone 11 and even though all my data is backed up to the cloud. It only downloads to 2014. I have so much lost.when I open the app it doesn’t even ask for a code. Please help!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — please fix bug! *2017-10-05* i have been using this app since 2015 first began. i have over 1000 entries. i was completely happy with this app until i updated it (for ios 11 support) now when i type it wont scroll down so i cant see what im writing!! it bothers me very much!! i dont even have ios 11 (i have a 5c which doesnt support it) please fix the scrolling! its difficult to use now and im very upset ### 1/5 — Update for iOS 11 comparability *2017-09-29* This app needs to be updated to be compatible to open on iOS 11. **Developer response:** Hi Naomi, iOS 11 compatible version of the app is now live on iTunes. Please update your app. ### 1/5 — Doesn't scroll! *2014-07-09* This was a good app, but now not as good because when you type passed a certain area, the screen won't scroll down so you cannot see what you are typing. Please fix! ### 1/5 — what's happened *2013-05-31, version 2.3* this latest version has wiped all my previous data! the option to restore from iCloud has nothing in it!! I guess this was explained in the latest update but I don't read all the update notes as there's soo many. this is a real pain as I've been keeping all my notes on my back op - pre and post op for my physio over 2 years worth. disappointing to say the least will be deleting app now. ### 1/5 — New update *2013-05-03, version 2.3* Old version was of the diary very useful. New version won't be open. ### 1/5 — Loved it until it lost my password *2013-03-19, version 2.2* I used it sporadically, but loved it when I did use it. Then after the last update it won't accept my password. And because I didn't set the recall info my stuff is lost apparently forever. :-( ### 1/5 — This app is okay *2012-07-06, version 2.1* I don't like this app, very confusing... I like the FREE notebook app that comes w/ this better. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2012-10-25, version 2.1* Good app ### 5/5 — Excellent!!!! *2012-10-13, version 2.1* This app is amazing. it is so efficient and I love it. It's gods for notes and for diary entries, which is what I use it for. I only have one suggestion: When I locked my phone and unlocked with the app on, it didn't go back I the give password screen. I suggest that as soon as you lock the screen, just like when you exit the app, the diary locks. Other than this I would recommend this app to anyone!! I love how you can choose your backgrounds and it's so easy I record thoughts and things in. 5/5 great job!!!!! 😊😊 ### 5/5 — My own little secret holder *2012-10-07, version 2.1* I love this app. I can hide many of my secrets without fear of my sister discovering them. The only think I wish this had was the ability to recover past entries. When I switched devices, I could t recover old entries on my new iPod. I think that you should be able to have an email or username or something so that you can recover it. ### 5/5 — Best of kind! *2012-09-30, version 2.1* Fantastic Diary App that you can add a pass code too as well as various other personalisation tweaks 10/10 ### 5/5 — QUICK DIARY!!!!!!!! *2012-09-29, version 2.1* I luv this app. It's so much fun!!!!

But I got it now and it's a good app to use for diary things and stuff. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-04-13, version 2.1* Title explains all. ### 5/5 — 1 note app- I highly recommend it. *2012-03-30, version 2.1* This app is great. I'm able to put a lot of notes in it and it hasn't clogged up unlike many others I've tried. It's easy to use and it isn't too simple either so I can arrange things however I want. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
