ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My thoughts holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My thoughts has 137 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Diary Locked's written reviews are positive against 67% of My thoughts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Diary Locked ships an update every 3 weeks, My thoughts monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
