Recently had an issue when 7 days disappeared from diary. Unfortunately no response to my email from developer. Poor after sales service. ### 1/5 — I paid but I didn't get *2023-07-10, version 1.1* I paid £2.99 for the unlimited storage, but the app didn’t considered and charged me again, as if I had not paid. I wrote to support and got no response. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — ?????? *2023-06-07, version 1.1* How do you delete notes? ### 3/5 — Sometimes I can’t scroll *2023-03-03, version 1.1* I have the purchased version and when I’m looking at an entry, 90% of the time my ability to scroll down is lost. It’s quite annoying. I do like the app though. ### 3/5 — Not free! *2023-02-18, version 1.1* Enjoyed this greatly. But after 5 entries I have to pay £2.99 to continue. Also could really do with a passcode feature. I am using it though, I like simplicity. ### 1/5 — Freezes *2023-01-29, version 1.1* Nice UI. Completely freezes using search function. ### 1/5 — STRUGGLING OR NOT UNDERSTANDING.. *2022-11-04, version 1.1* Ok purchased..just blank white area..no keyboard 😳aHELP..OR refund please..have found others now..gotta be something simple? Tony Yeomans…👍 ### 2/5 — Limited storage. *2022-07-04, version 1.1* Like the title says. You can only make 5 diary entries before you have reached the limit. You can then pay about £2.80 for unlimited storage. I’m really bummed out, I was planning on journaling more…I’d thought it was great in all other aspects but this. I wish you would have warned me first. Two stars. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-06-04, version 1.1* Every time I go to use this app, even after paying for it, tells me I have used all my free storage, so I hit the Restore purchase button and then go back to write again and same thing! ### 1/5 — Paid subs but doesn’t allow access 🙄 *2022-06-01, version 1.1* Good app in its simplicity but paid for access and it doesn’t allow me access - disappointing😒 ### 2/5 — Won’t Sync Between IPad & IPhone *2022-05-14, version 1.1* Have been closing and reopening the app on both my phone & iPad in an effort to get it to sync - but nothing. Perhaps it’s overnight…! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed . *2026-04-13, version 2.0* Find the app difficult to use, not what I was expecting.

That’s okay, I paid the fee but I could never get beyond Day 5. Every time I tried to use it, I was blocked with the reminder to buy unlimited storage… that I had already bought. The app is worthless at, that point and I finally deleted it. It is not worth the cost if it doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Not saving anymore *2023-08-01, version 1.1* I have both the space and the paid subscription. Since last week I cannot save anything. I contacted the app developer and no response. The app has been working great for years but this latest development is utterly frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple daily diary *2025-09-02, version 2.0* Very good easy ### 5/5 — Diary *2025-07-13, version 2.0* Very easy to use. ### 5/5 — Good and Simple *2024-01-07, version 1.1* I was just looking for a simple to use diary for my trips abroad and this was it. ### 5/5 — Love The Game *2023-10-14, version 1.1* ^%I Love This Game It helps me get my stress out when I'm stressed it Very nice I would Definitely Recommend^% ### 5/5 — Love the diary *2023-07-20, version 1.1* I love the app and use it every day for my work schedule.
