But there was an update where you can no longer chose an emotion for you journal entry unless you have premium. But you can’t save a journal entry unless you pick at least one emotion, so now I can’t even use this app for its intended function anymore and it really makes me sad. Please fix this! I would love to keep using the app, but sadly I may have to move on since I can’t journal in it anymore **Developer response:** We have fixed this issue with our latest update! Please update the app to fix this issue ### 4/5 — Could use some adjustments *2024-12-24* I think this app is the best thing really. It’s perfect for people with synesthesia like me, and it’s adorable. For me personally, it brings happiness to look at because of the colors and the cute illustration. Though I love this app, I do think it’s a bit unorganized and hard to navigate. The general tracking for overall stats is hard to navigate more specifically, as well as the color customization for emotions. Like I said, this app is perfect for people with synesthesia, but as someone with a wide range of the condition (especially when it comes to color-to-emotion/memory-processing), I’d like free customization of colors for emotions! If anything put features like the colors on the hedgehog in the premium subscription instead, things that aren’t connected to the tracking of emotions. Aside from those things, I think it was a great idea and unintentionally suited for people like me, which I think is awesome. <3 **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and for spending time in Tochi. We're so glad you're enjoying the experience! If there’s anything we can do to make it even better, feel free to share your thoughts your feedback helps Tochi grow. ### 3/5 — It’s all on the cloud? *2024-09-02, version 6.5* Why does everything have to be loaded to a server somewhere? Why can’t we just have it locally on our device? ### 4/5 — I love it! *2024-08-05, version 6.4* I love it but the cats cost money or you can watch an ad I’m pretty sure to get the 100 but I love the app and it’s really cute on the other side ### 4/5 — Lovely app *2024-07-12, version 6.4* Hello! This app is so lovely and its really helping me track my mood and well being Just one bug I have noticed is that when I add new activities or meal types it does not work. I enter name and colour then press ok but it doesn’t appear. Aside from that everything is brilliant ### 5/5 — Awesome app! So cute! *2024-05-18* Tochi Diary is a great app. I love how you can use mood orbs to express feelings. The journaling is great! I use the free version, and it is awesome. I can’t imagine how great the paid version is. Tochi diary is such a well developed app and idea. I will continue using Tochi as a diary and pick me up. Thanks again for making this nice app! The creators couldn’t have done a better job of making this app. So cute! ❤️❤️❤️ **Developer response:** Thank you for the amazing 5-star review! We will continue to work on the app ### 5/5 — So Helpfull!!!!!! *2024-05-01* I got this app a year ago because it was recommended to me, and it helped so much. I just got back into it this year, and it helps a lot. It helps me know how much I get stressed or nervous, and what I have to work on. GET THIS APP!!!! **Developer response:** Thank you for the amazing 5-star review! We will continue to work on the app ### 5/5 — THIS APP IS ADORABLE AND BEAUTIFUL *2024-04-06, version 5.5* I absolutely love this app! Everything about it is just amazing. I like how you log in your mood and you can select what made you feel this way, and the way the orbs bounce around just makes me feel joyful. The mental health tests are pretty good although maybe you could add some variety in it, like for example add different types of anxiety or something. The hedgehog (who I named Tochi) is adorable and I absolutely fell in love with him! He is just so adorable! I’ve been using the app for a while and it has helped me lessen my anxiety. I tried other apps but they didn’t really help me that well. This app’s bright and cheerful colours always make me choose “Happy”. In conclusion this app is great and I’m definitely giving it 5/5! ### 5/5 — I love it *2024-03-25, version 5.5* That’s all I love it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Much it’s so cute and has tests for things ### 5/5 — Noice *2024-03-10, version 5.5* I like this app I just got it today but I think it will be helpful and I also don't mind the in app purchases ### 4/5 — it GUD - Lily w *2024-03-02, version 5.5* it be GUD but im not sure what is does as i just downloaded the app ### 5/5 — Good app *2024-02-17, version 5.5* Helps me lessen my ztress just by writing down ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Will not load *2025-07-23, version 7.1.0* Every time I try to open the app it just crashes and sends me back to my home screen... please fix this ### 1/5 — Tochi Diary 📔 *2023-12-05, version 5.5* My bestie, Diane, & I don’t like 👍🏼 this health care app cause it has too many ads and u have 2 pay 💰 2 get a new 🆕 animal 🦔 And it’s not entertaining and/or interesting 🤔 The best self-care is the Finch self-care widget app cause that’s what fun 🤩 educational, entertaining, and interesting 🤔 And that app deserves 2 be recognized and it also has an Editor’s Choice award 🥇 unlike 👎🏼 app!! This app is terrible 😣!!!! ### 1/5 — very frustrating *2023-11-01, version 5.5* there are so many ads i find this app to be unusable. i tried to delete it after the first day and it refuses to let me delete my account. i click “delete account” and watch the buffering circle spin for minutes and minutes with no result, so i have to force close the app. i JUST made this account - it should not be this difficult to delete. saw an ad for this on youtube but it’s not worth your time and money if it’s not going to work. will not be recommending to anyone ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2022-09-03, version 5.0* Premium subscription is supposed to open all features it does not, highly disappointed and feel tricked ### 1/5 — No dark theme *2022-08-18, version 4.8* Rating; 1 point Title; no dark theme Thursday 18 August 22 Hello Tochi developers I tried this but as you haven’t got a dark theme option I can’t use it. Sadly deleted without trying it. ### 1/5 — Premium Plus access does not work *2022-06-13, version 4.7.3* Paid £8.99 in-app to get premium access and all themes & core borders. Having done so none of the themes nor borders has unlocked. Dev does not respond. Now waiting on Apple to refund my money. ### 2/5 — Not like in the screenshots *2026-05-29, version 11.0.0* As a longtime user I still don’t understand why the app has not updated to look like it does in the screenshots. I’ve attempted to contact customer service but have never received a response. It’s confusing and disappointing. I hope they can sort this out soon. ### 2/5 — I LOVE this app, but I'm running on an older version *2026-02-09* Terrified to update. I don't like the new UI at all. I much prefer the 'Mood' 'reflection' 'stats' 'journals' 'profile' bar at the bottom compared to the tacky hideous bar shown at the top of the screenshots now. Is there a way to toggle on the old UI if I update? I was thinking about becoming a premium membership but I won't if it's like that and hasn't been updated to be a nice medium. I also loved the floppy laying down pink hedgehog 😭 Super skeptical over the new designs. Hell if all my emotions I've made transfer over and I don't loose my account id update and go premium with no complaints if there was a pink hedgehog in cottagecore clothes or something red. **Developer response:** Hi There! We adjusted our app's information to better suit Tochi! ### 2/5 — I LOVE this app, but I'm running on an older version *2026-01-02* Edit: I just saw that you said to another user in April that the custom mood bubbles being locked behind premium was a bug being fixed. If so, I'll edit my review. But at the present, it's January 2026 and my friend who just got the app in Canada can't make custom mood bubbles. Please fix that. Full post: I recommended it to my friend, and it looked COMPLETELY different when she downloaded it. But not in a good way. It wasn't cute and soft like it was before, I remember seeing it look way more complicated, spammy, covered in blues, and it made me want to NEVER update. I'm an og member so my account gets more perks, but I was appalled at how she can't even make custom emotions and how limited her selection was. And GOD, Guys, the lifetime price is ABYSMAL 😭 Most apps in the self help genre charge like $12-$25 for lifetime. I'd LOVE to be a lifetime member but PLEASE fix that price. It's completely unaffordable for a MOOD TRACKER in this economy. I also prefer the original tochis. The simple colored laying down ones were cute. I don't like the sitting ones. **Developer response:** Hi There! We adjusted our app's information to better suit Tochi! ### 2/5 — Excellent App Terrible Support *2025-07-23* Tochi Diary is my favorite journaling app. It's features are so helpful. I especially appreciate the mood tracker and the stress tracker, which allows me to track not just what's stressed me out but also how it manifested in my body and small victories I've experienced. HOWEVER, I purchased the premium version of this app to get rid of ads, and suddenly in the last month or so, I started seeing advertisements again after tracking my stress!! I have left feedback on the app twice, and I reached out to Tochi Diary via email for support. I NEVER HEARD BACK, and I am still seeing ads despite paying for this product. In other words, I am not receving what I paid for. It is extremely disappointing, and I would be willing to change my review IF TOCHI DIARY CONTACTS ME AND FIXES THIS GLITCH! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great improvements! *2026-06-14, version 11.1.0* I had an issue with the old version of the app, and the app developer was fantastic in helping. The updated version is fantastic! It’s so helpful when it comes to new your emotions and processing them, and the design is so lovely and intuitive to use. ### 5/5 — Most creative mood tracker *2025-11-30* I’ve tried so many mood app trackers and usually just end up not finding them as useful and forgotten. What sets this app apart and why I love it so much is how moods and reflections become a story and how they are organized in life chapters, such a cool concept! It truly feels like my moods become in itself beautiful memories to cherish and look back on. The app is also helpful in understanding what emotions I’m going through which other apps I feel lack. Also it’s oh so very cute! Lifetime subscriber here, thank you again for developing an app I didn’t know I needed! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review and we are so happy that Tochi has provided the care and use you needed! We have an update coming up soon and we hope that you enjoy the new features and UI uplifts! We appreciate your continued support and let us now how this week's new update turns out! We are always looking towards any feedback! ### 5/5 — So cuteee *2025-08-26, version 7.3* It’s soo cuteee ### 5/5 — So far so good *2025-04-26, version 6.6* I love this app so far it keeps my feelings safe and it makes it feel like a safe place . ### 5/5 — Tochi! Mood tracker *2025-02-09, version 6.5* Best app I’ve ever used and it’s super cute! ### 5/5 — It’s so good *2024-12-04, version 6.5* You can write all your emotions and they will understand get it today write now ### 5/5 — My review *2024-10-05, version 6.5* I like the app it really has helped me track and make minor adjustments to ease my stress. ### 5/5 — Wonderful!! *2024-09-15, version 6.5* Adorable and wonderful way to track emotions. Reminders are not always on time, but the app is super helpful! ### 5/5 — WHATTT *2024-09-09* hey. Please read, dear creator. I'm serious. I wish I could pay But I can't. And u just earned a person who is gonna keep this appm don't listen to the haters. They just need to learn a lesson. This app is soooooooooo cute and all. Veryyyy verryyyyyyy verryyyy simple. ### 5/5 — Just what I needed *2024-06-26* This is a great journal app, with some adorable features that help keep track of self care. The free version is awesome already, but I recommend supporting the creators as the paid version is a license and reasonably priced! Plus it adds great features for mental health tracking and mindfulness, plus some cute stickers and decorations. It’s truly helped me on my journey! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the 5 -star review! This will help us improve the app further. We will try to implement better features in the future --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
