I love it

I use this app daily and honestly love it

Response from developer

Thanks for the love! Really appreciate it

I like this app

I rly like how easy to use this app is and I rly like that u dont lose out on a whole bunch if you dont pay. Hwv, I dont like that for once u finish the video u cant add more, change ur statement, or change the mood u selected / failed to select in the thing.

Response from developer

Thanks for the love! About editing the mood or statement it is something I will implement, but you can definitely add more videos on the same day already, just tap the record button on the top right when you are on the journal entry screen

So fun!!

I only just started using this app but so far I really love it. It’s super cute and really easy to understand. Highly recommend.

Response from developer

Thanks for the love!

Doesn’t save

Just recorded a very heartfelt video just for the app to not save it. Terrible design

Response from developer

Really sorry to hear that! Have you tried to update the app and see if that video came up?

cool

I actually really like this app bc I’ve always wanted to write a diary but I don’t like actually doing it bc my wrist hurts after a while of writing it and I’m kinda better talking aloud than jotting thoughts down. So I started looking for an app that does that stuff and I found this and it’s js really simple and easy to use. so yeah nice app simple easy and I luv it being part of my nightly routine where I js talk about my day.

Thank you so much! Appreciate it!

Cute and useful (real)

I started using this app since the beginning of this year and safe to say, I approve of this app. The layout and everything else (font) in this app is cute. You are able to film or add your video from camera roll for however long you like (well I’m assuming, idk but I’ve filmed like 5+ min vids before). There is also space under your vid for you to type out anything you want AND there’s this cute feature where you can choose your mood for that day and it organizes like a mood board of that week. The only thing I wish would happen would be to allow us to add photos too, not just vids because it requires videos only, because sometimes I never took any video that day but I might want to add a picture in case I missed that day and just wanted to fill in that missing day (if that makes sense). But other than that, this is great! Great job!!

Thank you for the love Tiffani, really appreciate it! Your feature proposal is well taken in consideration

It’s Basic (so it’s good)

It’s a really basic app, there’s nothing fancy. and I love it!! but i’m really frustrated because the perspective of the video is not the same orientation as I hold my phone. not sure if this is an app feature, or if this is something that i can change, but i would like it to change.

Thanks for the love! Have you tried to update the app? Here to support you

Bug issues but great design

I love the apps design and how you’re able to upload videos for the day and see and keep track of it but most of the time you record, you pressed OK and it doesn’t save the video. Then sometimes going back to it you can’t hear the audio, I record multiple times and it still doesn’t upload.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind words about the design, and for reporting the video saving and audio issues! These have now been fixed. In some cases the app was showing a processing animation even though the video had actually saved correctly in the background. Everything should now work as expected, including audio. Thanks again for helping improve Video Diary 🙏

My thoughts

This app has been incredibly helpful to track daily progress, I look forward to supporting this project! (Also love that it’s not using AI features to monitor/psycho analyze my thoughts) hopefully you continue to improve upon this great idea. <3

Response from developer

Thank you so much for these incredibly kind words - messages like yours are exactly why I keep working on this app

can’t view videos

was unimpressed with the fact that i couldn’t watch the videos back however its on me for not paying attention to the way they advertise this app, i do love the feature that allows you to turn your year into a movie and yiu can select the end and start date so if you want to watch the videos you’ve created you can that way love this app so much but hate that i can’t record more per day as this is not the kind of video diary i was wanting

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, you can definitely watch the video back now, and for the multiple video in a day it's been developing

Fix pls

The dates are wrong. It’s the 15th of February 25 and a Saturday but the 15th on the app is a Sunday. It’s annoying me

App doesn’t allow you to view the videos

I have recorded several upload videos and once I save them there is no way to go back a view the videos or save them to your phone. It either says delete, or re-record or upload from camera roll.
I see no point in a video diary if you can’t go back to watch it.
There’s no update to fix this bug. Disappointed!

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback, you can re-watch the videos now

Free but not very convenient

The cool part is that you can record as many videos as you want per day. Unfortunately you can’t access to the videos very easily. You need to do few steps and it is not very convenient.

Could be Better

It’ll be so much better if we could watch videos from the calendar and if we could delete videos after merging them. Would be so perfect.

Response from developer

All your requests are in the app now. Thank you for the feedback

It won’t let me merge and view my videos

I’m unable to merge my videos and whenever I try the file never opens

Garbage

This app was terrible.
1. Could only record one vide per day. I could've lived with this if not for the next issue...
2. Could not re-watch the videos!?!? What good is a DIARY if you can't access the material afterward!?!? It was essentially a picture of the video!

All in all, this was not a user friendly app and doesn't function as advertised. I recommend a different one.

Amazing App!

The app is really good, but if you could make it so that we could add pictures/take pictures as well it would be really good 🙂👍

Some problems

Not very developed, seems like a very small app with not much to do on it. It’s a great idea, wish I could have multiple videos per day maybe. Also dates are wrong on the app which throws you off

Response from developer

Hey! There have been many updates since then — the date issue is now fixed, and support for multiple videos per day is planned for development soon.
