I get to interact with all different types of people while also having a space to keep to myself. In my private journal area not only do i get to document my day but i can write as many entries as i want throughout the day and even add pictures which is so cool!! Its a great app I love it and highly recommend it !! **Developer response:** I am honored to be able to get your love. I will continue to update showday to bring you a better and more convenient experience ### 5/5 — Good *2025-05-26* Can post privately and publicly, everything is anonymous. Works like a calendar, you can add any reminders. Nice and easy to use. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your praise, showday is committed to protecting your privacy and it can help you look back on your daily life better. ### 5/5 — A Rare Gem *2024-10-05* Just found your app. It may very well be the best journal app I’ve ever seen. I love that you can add audio entries and even transcribe them. I also love how you can add comments to entries. This is a great feature. You can reflect on old memories or thoughts by commenting on them — very unique aspect that few journals have. I love that you can add up to 15 photos. I love that you can add video recordings too. The one thing that could make even better for me is allow us to set a default entry type. Like most of the time I’ll likely be using text entry, if we could set the button to our preferred entry type that would be awesome. Or perhaps let it remember our last choice. If we could hold the new entry button in, then we could select the type of entry. But if we tap it directly it could remember our last choice or our default setting. Another suggestion would be to allow us to add a quick entry from the app icon (on our Home Screen or dock) by pressing it in via the contextual menu. Both of these could speed up the new entry process and let us add new entries repetitively with ease. Lastly, I’ve always wanted a journal app where we could choose the background color of our entries to add a splash of color. Custom theme choices would be a fantastic addition (for day and night). And a few additional app icon color choices to match our current Home Screen would be amazing. I’m excited to try your Apple Watch app, a rarity in this genre. Another feature I’ve always wanted. Thank you for putting such care and detail into your app. Nice work! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! I’m thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the audio transcription, commenting feature, and multimedia support. Your suggestions about setting a default entry type, adding quick entries from the app icon, and customizing the entry background color and app themes are fantastic ideas. I’ll definitely consider these improvements to make the experience even better for you and other users. I’m also excited for you to try the Apple Watch app and can’t wait to hear more of your thoughts. Thanks again for your support and kind words! ### 5/5 — A Rare Gem *2024-10-03* Just found your app. It may very well be the best journal app I’ve ever seen.

Thank you for putting such care and detail into your app. I bought the lifetime version but also want to support your work so will be subscribing to the yearly as well. Nice work! ### 5/5 — Very useful daily record software *2024-09-13* The software is fully functional, can upload photos and record the current thoughts, but also supports video recording, a better way to record than photos. The interface is simple and easy to operate, recommended to download and use. **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review! ShowDay can not only store videos and photos, but you can also associate footprints with your entries. Recently, ShowDay supports adding multiple comments to each record, which will help you better record your daily life. ### 5/5 — It’s really convenient to display the number of diaries on the calendar *2024-06-28* I can not only see the number of daily diaries in the calendar, but also the number of monthly and annual diaries. This experience is great, and when I adjust the diary time, I can also clearly see the number of daily and daily diaries. Number of diaries per month and year, this is a unique diary experience. **Developer response:** I'm flattered that this feature has been praised by you. I hope you can find the joy of recording your daily life through ShowDay. ### 5/5 — Privacy protection is great, but live camera takes pictures with lag *2024-06-28* The privacy protection function of WaterFlow Diary is really powerful. When the app enters the background, my private diary contents are immediately hidden. Moreover, I can also set my own privacy policy. I no longer have to worry about my diary being accessed by others. Saw it. The only drawback is that there will be some delay when taking pictures using the built-in live camera, which I hope the developers can solve. **Developer response:** Now waterflowdiary has been renamed ShowDay. Thank you very much for your recognition of showday. After more than a dozen version iterations, there is no delay in taking live photos using the built-in camera. ### 5/5 — I really like this minimalist diary style *2024-06-28* I have used many diary apps with very complex interfaces. Those apps seem to have many functions, but most of them do not help me record my daily life. On the contrary, waterflow diary does it. Although it is simple, it is elegant. I hope to maintain this minimalist style. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. My original intention of creating ShowDay(original name called Waterflow Dairy) is to record daily life in a simple and fast way. ## Frequently asked questions about ShowDay ### What is ShowDay?
