### 5/5 — Perfect for journaling

*2026-05-18, version 1.8.2*

Great app 
Definitely worth it 
Worried about exporting my data though

### 5/5 — great app, easy way to keep a diary

*2026-01-21, version 1.8.1*

i absolutely love this app, a very simple easy way to store memories.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-10-11, version 1.7.0*

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.

### 2/5 — Backup functionality doesn’t work with different devices

*2024-09-22, version 1.7.0*

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.

### 4/5 — great app, terrible backup

*2024-04-21, version 1.6.1*

i absolutely love this app, a very simple easy way to store memories.  but i forgot my pin code recently and now i’m locked out, with no way to reset the password!

### 1/5 — Memories lost

*2023-08-28, version 1.6.0*

I used this app frequently for months, but I forgot the password and was not able to get back in, with no options to reset or retrieve my password.

### 4/5 — Colour scheme

*2023-05-17, version 1.6.0*

It’s a small thing but the colour scheme makes the AI voice 2 text writing really hard to see and read. Other than that it’s a great idea to be able to speak into the diary and have the written transcript as well as your audio stored.

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2023-03-22, version 1.6.0*

Easy to use, have tags, I record a lot of impromptu conversations for work purposes. Helpful!!

### 2/5 — Old VN are gone

*2023-03-02, version 1.6.0*

I’m a bit sad, I used this as a way of venting and coping with a lot of my personal trauma, and once I started getting better I deleted it, recently I started feeling a bit down again so I downloaded it in hopes record new voice notes but also to see my old voice notes but they are all gone and I can’t get them back :/

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well wouldn’t use

*2023-02-02, version 1.6.0*

I was going to use this document every single day of my life in school. The problem is you can’t delete anything or edit your recordings not only that but the way it is made doesn’t work well with what is trying to help you with and The app is filled with grammatical errors and fake warnings. it works with what it does, but I still wouldn’t use it let alone pay full price
