Idk how to NOT pay for it tho. ### 2/5 — Can’t open the app, as it’s showing to subscribe for pro mode *2026-03-11* It has one problem of asking to go to pro mode with 3999 rupees per year. But i want to continue it with normal free as of previous times. But I can’t do it now, i have some important things written there, but i am currently unable to open the important details stored there.

First off, back then it didn’t have a lock feature but I passed that aside because I could still use it. Then out of nowhere I couldn’t add more notes and secrets without needing pro? I had to write in the same box’s. Now I can’t even get into the app. By that I mean I click and a “start a trail!” Shows up and guess what? No X’s. Can’t leave that spot. Can’t get access to my notes and secrets either without buying the trial, which I’m not going to do? You clearly don’t provide access at any time to our secrets if you’re needing us to pay just to get access back to them. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-08-29, version 4.2* If you want to use the free version of this app exclusively I suggest you pass. There is an ad when you log in. There is and when you click a journal entry, and don’t even try to create and entry because it is ad after ad and it doesn’t not allow you to get to a blank page. Just a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Nul *2025-04-20* Je déconseille à tout le monde de venir dans cette appli vraiment je suis très déçu😒😡 franchement on arrive même pas à rentrer tranquillement dans cette applications qu’est-ce qu’on met notre vrai mot de passe ça passe pas je suis vraiment très très très déçu je déconseille à tout le monde mais vraiment tout le monde de ne pas y aller vraiment je n’aime pas cette application si je pourrai je m’étais un 0 **Developer response:** Hello aida☪️🕋, Nous sommes vraiment désolés d'apprendre que vous avez eu des difficultés à vous connecter à notre application.
