Awesome app!

I love this app so much. It has helped my mental health so so much to see myself talk about how my days went and learn from my past days. The app is simple but does its job and the free version is totally functional. I hope the developer keeps it up!!!!!! This app is so personally important to me now

Response from developer

Thank you! This made my week. Seeing your own days back and learning from them is exactly what I hoped the app would do for people, and hearing it actually worked for you is the reason I keep building. The free version staying genuinely usable is a deliberate choice, and it's staying that way. I'm actively working on Video Diary, so there's more coming. Thanks for being here. Ric

Amazing!

I’m a huge fan of journaling and talking, so this is the perfect app for me, I ran into some issues with it towards the beginning, reported the bug and the developer was nice enough to respond and help me fix the issue. Really shows the amount of care and love that goes into this app. Definitely recommend if you’re a yapper and loves to journal.

Response from developer

This is fixed. Version 2.23 resolves the crash, and the app now handles long recordings properly to update, open the App Store, search VideoDiary, and tap Update. You can confirm it worked in the app's Settings: at the bottom, it should read 2.23 (1). Thank you again for reporting it; your report is what made the fix possible, and it will help other users too. On your own recordings: once you're updated, open the app and check whether yesterday's and today's videos appear. If they do, they were partially saved and should be recoverable. I also replied to your email, but it bounced back; your mailbox appears to be full. If you can free up some space and write to me at developer.riccardo.mobile@gmail.com, I'll resend it right away; there's more I'd like to share with you there. Either way, please let me know how it goes; I want to make this right. Best, Ric

Good review

Video diary has helped me talk about my problems or being able to say anything without feeling judged or without sharing it to other people. I’m not one to talk about feelings but this app helps me go through my day. It’s the only streak I follow through with. It feels nice to “talk to someone” like that. Highly recommend so far

Response from developer

Thank you, Rylee. "The only streak I follow through with" might be my favourite thing anyone has said about this app. Video Diary was built so that talking to the camera stays completely private your videos never leave your device, so there's genuinely no one to be judged by. That's the whole point. Keep the streak going. Ric

Not good

Hey! I loved this app at the beginning, I’ve been using it since July 2026 and been loving it because I find it easier to talk into the camera over writing. In August (now), on the 4th I recorded a very sentimental video and saved it in the app, while ‘processing the data’, the app closed itself and lost the video. That’s fine, I reported the bug and moved on. On the 5th I tried redoing the video, because I really wanted my words documented, so I redid the video and stopped recording, the app started saving and ‘processing data’ then it closed itself again!!! Both of my videos are now lost. At the current moment, as soon as I tried to recorded and then press stop, nothing saves. I’m not sure what’s happened here, I reported the bug twice and nothing yet. My recommendation is to record your video on your phone first, then upload it, because it’s sad to lose dear videos. Deleting the app now, what’s the point.

Best Video Diary App

If you’ve ever wanted to record your thoughts or capture moments throughout the day, this is the perfect app. It keeps everything organized and makes creating montages super easy.

Response from developer

Thank you! Montages were the part I spent the most time getting right, so it's great that's what stood out. Worth adding for anyone reading: all of it happens on your device nothing gets uploaded anywhere. More improvements on the way. Ric
