### 1/5 — Update deleted photos

*2021-05-11, version 2.21.0*

Updating the app deleted every picture I’ve connected to prompts. It’s totally useless for what I was using it for now.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-08-06, version 2.5.0*

Let’s me clear my head, with out being burden with a paper journal. Just wish it had a password so no one could “accidentally “ access it.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2020-06-13, version 2.4.0*

I love this app. It's quick and easy. Does its job simply. I've had a few questions and the developer is quick to reply with excellent advice. Awesome.

### 1/5 — Photos and comments disappear

*2020-05-06, version 2.3.0*

Rubbish. The photos and comments I have written one day disappeared after a couple of days. There also seems no way to share the timeline

### 1/5 — I liked it at first

*2020-04-15, version 2.3.0*

I loved this app and then one day all my pictures went away so now it’s just words with no pictures. No impressed.

### 5/5 — My daily record

*2020-03-23, version 2.2.0*

Sometimes an easy to use record without complex operations is good and this is what makes this App great 
AND I LOVE IT

### 5/5 — The only journal app I can use

*2020-02-16, version 2.0.0*

I’ve switched from apps to apps, this is the only one I’m using this long. I love the scroll down feature. You can easily access all the entries of the days before just by scrolling down, no muss no fuss with buttons and places that need clicks. Very practical and simple. I give it a 10

### 4/5 — I really did love the app

*2019-10-06, version 1.19.0*

I loved the app but it started glitching on me and I got used to that but now the app doesn’t even lock which is an issue for me. I tried contacting support but that didn’t work. I’ve been with this app since 2015 and I really didn’t want to get another app bc of all of the posts I have in there. But I guess I’m going to have to go with another app, that privacy factor was really the best thing, and I loved that you can add photos.

### 2/5 — It crashes whenever you try to add an image!

*2019-04-19, version 1.19.0*

It’d be great if this didn’t keep happening

### 5/5 — Good app

*2018-10-13, version 1.19.0*

very good app its my faivorite
