### 5/5 — How this could be improved.

*2023-03-31*

I think you should add a section for you to create a blog were you could make one episode every day telling about what you are doing.I also think you should be able to type in more than 1 person you met. Other than that 100% of everything is good.

### 3/5 — Cool

*2023-03-17*

i really like it. you get to write everything and it asks you eevrything so you can really let out any sort of emotion or secret. the thing i dont like is how the lock costs. you gotta buy it, and well the reason why its called secret diary does mean because its a secret but it cant be a secret diary without a lock because people could olen your phone and watch it so if these people are gonna name it secret diary than actually make it secret with no cost because thats the whole purpose

### 5/5 — It frustrates me

*2023-02-16, version 1.5*

Ok I found this app and decided to try it it said it had a lock which made me exited, cause my brother and friends don’t have any boundaries.
It was really cool and I wrote everything down. But then when I went to settings it cost money to lock the diary it made me sad cause now I can’t find any app like this one with a lock. So please please please fix that.

### 5/5 — Please read this! I like it….some suggestions.

*2022-11-06, version 1.5*

Ok, I’ve had this app for quite a while. I love it. I meant to do 4 1/2 stars but, clicked to fast. Anyways, this app is great! But, some suggestions. Why do we have to pay to lock this? I mean, if you don’t have the app and you are getting ready to download this, you’d probably see the locking stuff and download it and be so excited and then figure out that you have to pay $3 for it. I mean, come on man! I get it, the whole part of having a job is to why people to buy stuff in the app or but the app. But, no offense, this app probably isn’t even on the charts. I love it and I wish it were but, it probably isn’t. And, maybe a way to get it on the charts is to not have anything to pay for. Granted there would probably be 1,000,000 people downloading it. Also, since it’s free! 

Follow up question: Can we get some updates? I want a new style for this. PLEASE DON’T MAKE US PAY THOUGH!!! Let us customize it. That would be so fun and SO cute! 

Ok, I hope you read this and get back to me, and also, please grant all of my wishes! 😊🙂🙂🤞🤞🤞🌸🌸🌸

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-10-18, version 1.5*

This dairy is great I love to use it and I have 5   Siblings and a mom my mom can not Evan get in it and my 1 brother he tried to get in my phone but there where you can buy a gold dairy for 3$ and that is a great price since this app is so great I don’t have and thing bad about this app so yea

### 4/5 — Just one con

*2022-07-21, version 1.4*

I really like this app, It’s a great way to get your hopes, dreams, and feelings out. And it’s perfect for girls, but I gave it 4 stars because a diary is supposed to be private, and I don’t like how this app makes you pay to lock it, developers, please fix this

### 5/5 — 5/5 Review. Bravo ☺️

*2022-07-06, version 1.4*

Thank you for making this. I was really angry about something today & I don’t have any diaries in real life. So I downloaded this. Because I was able to write my feelings down in this game I felt a little bit better today. I’ll be using this a lot! This definitely made an appearance in my day. I totally recommend this app, It helps a lot. Thank you so much. ❤️

### 4/5 — Great features and content! But need improved UI

*2022-06-08, version 1.4*

The features are very varied and new. I love them! Mood, thoughts (with deep thought-provoking prompts), ideas, people you met. So cool!
In the UI, wish it would allow auto-correct on phone keyboards. And I tried to give feedback in app, but just a blank small blank white prompt comes up. Just a few things like these.

### 5/5 — Com’on and buy it

*2022-06-06, version 1.4*

Look I love it because I can let my feeling out in it like my crush all so I’m so happy it was made because if it was not my brothers would find my dairy they do not know the PIN number but it was a great deal because the thing to get your diary locked is only $2 it is awesome but yes there is some thing that you should make which is a page to let your feeling out many you could call it the “ LET IT OUT “ it would work but one more thing there should be a reminder page 📄 I thick you could get so many people

But with all my hart I love it like Mabe  in the reminder  page I could say when I’m going to tell my crush case everybody at some point will be hiting a lot of changes and they will have a crush.
