### 4/5 — Does the job

*2026-03-26*

App does the job. I’m able to write long entries. I like how the homepage shows a condensed list of entries you wrote. I like that I could change the color of the background. I would love to see this app include picture upload abilities. In the other diary app that I use, I’m able to upload pictures so I can remember events easier. Not sure if I’m sticking with this app or going back to the other one but if this app included picture upload features, I would give it five stars.

### 4/5 — Simple and convenient

*2025-06-07, version 2.0*

This app is simple to use and works well, I've had it for a few years now and it's pretty great, although I don't like how you can only have 5 entries without paying, so I have to write so many things in one entry

### 4/5 — Good but bad

*2023-12-15, version 1.1.1*

So bassicly it's great it does the job but when you close the app and go back on it it doesn't ask for the password and let's u in anyways

### 4/5 — Я забыл пароль что делать

*2023-05-02*

Что делать я забыл пароль и переустановил приложение не сбросился что делать ответе

### 2/5 — Love this app, but it stopped working

*2023-01-25*

I’ve loved this app and thought it was fantastic. The simplicity of it was great. But for some reason it won’t save my entries anymore. I contacted the developer, but have not gotten any response from them. Don’t know why it doesn’t save my entries anymore.

### 4/5 — ONLY 5 ENTRIES

*2022-09-04*

I only got to do 5 entries before it said u need unlimited storage I thought I would be able to do way more than that! Do not download this app unless u are willing to pay 4.99 for unlimited storage the only reason this is a 4 star review is because I’m willing to spend the money and it’s a great app otherwise except for the fact that there is absolutely no creativity in this at all and being me I was really hoping to have that fixed and by fixed I mean 4 years ago someone had the same problem with the no creativity thing so I recommend u at least let us add photos and decorate better also that unlimited storage be free maybe u could get paid by the number of good reviews instead but until u fix these problems u probably wouldn’t make much money so I guess by how many stars u have now there’s a Money maker! Otherwise I love this app it’s great as a diary and if ur willing to pay 4.99 I would buy it!

### 3/5 — The way the date

*2021-02-26*

I would rather it was a different way when u write in it. For example. If u didn’t write a day before u should be able to write on the missing day

### 4/5 — Great

*2020-07-13, version 1.1.1*

Very easy to use

### 4/5 — Upgrade ideas

*2020-07-07*

I love this app so far. I am very happy to be able to have a place to gather my thoughts without worrying if someone will find my diary. I would like to make a friendly suggestion tho. I enjoy adding pictures to my diaries to make everything more alive for me. It would be great if they added that to this app. Otherwise I am still very happy.

### 5/5 — Diary

*2020-01-21, version 1.1.1*

The best App Diary for me. Clean, efficient, and it locks 😇🌠📚

### 5/5 — Love it

*2019-12-02, version 1.1.1*

It’s a great app it keeps all your secrets with a password of your choice I recommend you downloading this app

### 5/5 — It’s so awesome

*2019-12-02*

It’s so awesome because it’s be 3 days sense I got this app and my cousin has been trying to get in once i accidentally told him.  😆 😂 🤣

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2019-09-14, version 1.1.1*

The heading says it all

### 4/5 — Добавьте пожалуйста

*2019-09-13*

Добавьте Touch ID но по желанию и добавьте чтоб можно было прикреплять фото к тексту

### 2/5 — I love it but hate it

*2019-09-03*

This app was great and I love venting to it. But when I went to put my 5th entry in, it said I was out of “storage” and I couldn’t write anymore. I had four 3 paragraph entry’s. I was rlly mad bc it wouldn’t let me type anymore. Love the set up but hate the storage situation

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2019-08-12, version 1.1.1*

Happy w/it.

### 5/5 — Really helpful

*2019-07-04*

I think this is a great notebook app. It's simple to use with sufficient, useful possibilities. There's only one thing that's unhandy--sometimes when going to Search it locks up and one has to exit the program. Re-entering there is no problem as everything is still there and Search can be tried again.

### 1/5 — Пропали записи

*2025-06-04*

Обновил программу и пропали записи за последний год

**Developer response:** Приложение делает локальные копии записей, каждое устройство имеет свою отдельную локальную копию.
Если возникли проблемы при переносе базы данных или синхронизации, зажмите и подержите кнопку восстановления записи на вкладке настроек, а затем выберите опцию восстановления локальной копии в появившемся меню.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2023-03-13*

It only let me make like four entry’s before I had to start paying for it. Waste of time. It’s easier to find a free one.

### 1/5 — Storage

*2022-04-17, version 1.1.1*

After about 5 entries in my diary, I was informed that I’d exceeded my storage limits and I could BUY unlimited storage for nearly $8! 
What kind app is this? A license to print money for you guys?!
I might as well buy a hard copy diary with a little “key” to keep it from prying eyes. Surely cheaper!
Not happy…..

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2019-05-17*

Это могло быть хорошим приложением. Но открыв приложение через 2 дня, записи не обнаружила. Новая запись не сохраняется.

### 1/5 — Limited Entries

*2019-02-25, version 1.1.1*

After 5 entries it told me I had used all my free storage and had to upgrade. No thanks

### 1/5 — Makes you pay

*2018-11-14, version 1.1.1*

After writing 5 entries I was told I have to pay for more storage. 5 entries. And it’s not like it has to stored on their server, it’s stored on MY phone. Deceptive.

### 1/5 — I hate this app!!!!!!

*2018-06-08*

I thought I would like this app, but I was wrong I really really hate it. I don’t know how to write anything in here and it’s horrible I mean, I just hate this app it’s horrible don’t get it I have some suggestions about it I really think that they should let you make your own poster for the background I mean they should do that. It is so bland and boring, so what I think is you should not get this app I’m not trying to be rude but it needs improvement I’m just telling you that now

### 1/5 — Broken

*2018-02-26, version 1.1.1*

I have purchased unlimited version for 2.99 and after I switch app again it asks me to buy it again. 
New entries are not being saved either. 

I would avoid this app until fixed.

2018.02 still no fix.

### 1/5 — Непонятно

*2018-02-11*

Все устраивало ровно до тех пор, пока не был превышен лимит записей... предупреждать надо ! 
Кроме того, непонятно как приобрести полную версию... 
при нажатии unlimited storage ничего не происходит... 
а
Перехожу на другое приложение в итоге.

### 1/5 — Didn't save correctly and low space

*2017-06-09, version 1.0.1*

First time use. I just wrote a full page of text, and it only saved 1/4...3/4 lost. I plan to use as a dream journal, to assist me to remember my dreams. This app won't be of any use if it doesn't save properly.

Kept using app. I was only able to write 3 A4 pages worth of text and now I have already reached my limit...asking to upgrade...3 pages!!! Come on guys, that's just greedy.

Bad app.

Good app

### 5/5 — Very simple

*2022-01-20, version 1.1.1*

I love the app love the simplicity of it, Lord knows we (the people)have been over the rainbow the moon and overloaded with information that is @BEST only partially understandable to anyone who does not know how to code… Especially frustrating having to read so much yet learn so little in my personal opinion—❤️‍🔥🥁🎶🎺🙏 Thank you creators thank you developers thank you for making this app brilliant and safe as well as nonsense free. Cheers! Love worldwide - Julz

### 5/5 — D I A R Y

*2020-11-06, version 1.1.1*

loved this so much!!

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2020-10-07*

I love this app so much! It’s overall an amazing app and it’s exactly what it advertises, there are absolutely zero ads. The only bad thing is that you can only write 5 entry’s then u have to pay 5$ for unlimited writing. It’s not per month tho. I keep all my secrets in it and it’s the best one I’ve had so far. And it’s passcode protected so It makes me feel more secure that no one can get in.

### 5/5 — Diary

*2020-05-18*

I really like the app it comes in really often because I have a very nosey family

### 5/5 — OMG!!!!

*2020-03-11*

I love this app so much it is just amazing I like how it’s password protected and do you know the passwords to this app????? I don’t like how you can’t get unlimited storage. And since I’m a big sister I have to write in a diary alot
