Talk as soon as you tap When a thought arrives, one tap is enough. Tap Record on Home and Dearly starts recording right away. An easier start for new people New to Dearly? It begins with a few quick questions, like your name and how your week felt. Not ready to talk yet? Tap Not now and Home opens with a first page from Dearly waiting. A short tour shows you around. Themes you can see In Settings, each theme now shows its paper and its ink. Smaller fixes If you keep Dearly behind Face ID or Touch ID, it now asks as soon as you open the app. VoiceOver says when a recording starts, or when it could not. The close button on the question banner in Record is easier to tap.

User reviews

Chinese transcription capability is very poor

This app's Chinese transcription capability is very poor; it is not only inaccurate, but also misses a large amount of content.

Response from developer

Thank you for the four stars, and for telling us this. Dearly doesn’t hear Chinese as well as it hears English yet. We’re working on it, and will fix this issue in the coming releases.

Easy to use voice journal

No need to type again easy to use voice journal and it’s summarize everything and add it to you in a fraction of a second good job

Response from developer

Talking is so much easier than typing at the end of a long day. Thanks for the kind words, and happy journaling!

Wonderful App

I’ve always wanted to journal and haven’t found the right app to get me started. Dearly looks like it will definitely address my needs and wants. It’s voice activated so it lets you put your thoughts down and if you mess up or don’t say things right it allows you to delete and start over once you’ve got your journal entry down it prompts you with other questions to expand upon your thoughts, it also provides you hashtags. Should you choose to make a post on social media addressing your journal entry overall I’m enjoying what I’m seeing.
