拿掉密碼鎖功能超爛

本來很讚的現在竟然要訂閱才能用密碼鎖==哪個天才想的有夠過分連這都要收錢

很好!

我其实是个不喜欢写日记的人,每次都写不下去,但这个软件真的很好用,连我都开始天天乱写哈哈哈哈哈( °ᴗ°)。特别期待给一年后的自己写的胶囊,希望我能坚持每天写下去。

Love this app so much

It’s absolutely amazing for day to day journaling, 10/10 and would definitely recommend

send a letter to future me

Every year I will send a letter for future me. That’s amazing. When I get it, I feel I am taking to myself. And I will see the development through the whole year. Thanks this app’

Wholesome journal app

This is one of those rare apps that is actually beneficial for your wellbeing ❤️

Best journal app

I have been using this app for over 10 years now. Clean, easy to use, reminisce about your feelings and your life.

Horrible devs. Horrible app.

Just be aware that everything you enter in owned by them and they will make it as difficult as they possibly can to get your data out of this app. These are the types of developers that should be banned from creating these deceptive apps. Based on the other reviews, they’re done a great job of duping countless people. The only saving grace is that Apple now lets you copy any text from any image. Hahaha I bet the devs love that. Can’t charge to export data anymore? Go cry about it.

Response from developer

Hi Pyk, thanks so much for your feedback. I really appreciate your support all the time. Here are a few things to address: First, about "They’ve also confirmed that they have no intention of adding this through email", we've never said this in any email reply. "Exporting data" is a feature on our roadmap but not yet supported. I understand you've waited for so long. But given that the app is still designed, developed and maintained by one person, I had to make choice and implement major features first. Second, we don't charge money for editing old daily caps. You can spend some Pieces to edit a daily cap after 24 hours but Pieces are not equal to money. You've used Time Caps so long, so I'm sure that you know Pieces are a way that we introduce to encourage users to write daily caps. You can gain Pieces for writing any caps. It's true that you can purchase some Pieces with a few dollars, but it's just one of the ways earning them. In fact, most users did not purchase any pieces. Moreover, with the update, we introduced several new ways for users to gain Pieces, including weekly/monthly rewards, Piece Reward Program, etc. And meanwhile, we offered ways to help users utilize the Pieces they gained to perform some actions that they could not do in old versions, such as filling a old day, or editing a daily cap after 24 hours. Last, if this does any help, if you update to the latest version (2.5.4), you can long press the text in a cap and copy them. You don't need to spend Pieces to edit just to copy anymore. I know this is still far away from an ideal "exporting" feature, but I'm working on it. Thanks again for your support and feedback and love for Time Caps. Have a good day!

Love this app so so much

Such a fun and creative way to memorialize your life. Will be using it for as long as possible! One suggestion would be the ability to export your previous posts

Wow!

It is such a great app! I do wish the in app purchases weren’t a thing though. If you really wanted to have an incredible experience, get rid of the purchases and watch a couple adds instead. I would have loved to see myself in the past, but only if you
- watch adds to get gems
- use gems to get capsules
- use capsules to send a photo or voice recording.
If anything, just lower the gem prices on the capsules. Thank you!

Beautifully designed app

This app makes journalling incredibly calming and fun to do. Really nicely designed and lovely to use

很好用

别出心裁的小设计,写完一个星期一个月可能没感觉,但是当过了一年后再看,会发现,真的有好多东西回不去了……

How to get your data out of this app for free

Take a screenshot of the image provided by the app. Use the built in Live Text feature on the images. Done use apps from developers that don’t let you access your data.

曾经的软件下回来了,登录上发现了好多之前的回忆,给人触动很深,推荐

Very cool

This is really unique and fun.

Truly thankful to this app

I’ve been using this app since 2017.
This app witnessed all my hard times and happy moments, provided my space where I can release thoughts in my head.
I do like to give my greatest thank to the developer.

Nice but not perfect

Nice app great to get you to journal. But does have its flaws. It reminds you every night to write something and won’t let you go back and write previous days which enforces making it a habit. My least favorite thing is you have to earn the ability to send voice/pictures, and to send future ones. There’s also a word cap on your daily messages which I like because I would end up writing forever but I do wish it was just a tad bit longer.

Excellent app!

I use it all the time. It’s a useful method for capturing the gist of each day without overloading it with information. The word count allows me to go back and re-evaluate my thoughts in little blurbs, so I think it’s good feature.

I wish I could use the plethora of caps I have stockpiled to respond to previous entries or add an extra one for the day. Sometimes I’ll write one prematurely (on a bad note), and the day will ultimately end well: I want to be able to record that change. Still, I’d like that second entry to be separated from the first—if you know what I’m getting at.

P.S. I also wanted to say I appreciate the today vs. tomorrow option for late night writing. That was really clever.

I hope you’ll consider my idea, and thanks a lot for your work!

Great idea and execution

The only problem I have with this app is the restriction in capsules I can use. The times you get fragments to buy capsules it’s always a small amount. I would suggest to either give more fragments or lower the price of capsules.
