Terrible app

I had this years ago then in the past year and a half it stopped allowing you to save entries. They say button no longer works. Piece of junk don’t even bother.

Backup functionality doesn’t work with different devices

I found the app good until recently when I tried to migrate my old diaries to a different device. Even after paying for a year backup subscription, I still couldn’t transfer my files to another device.
I’ve also seen similar reviews so I hope something gets done in subsequent updates.
