Personal Diary (Journal) App 4+

Brilliant App

So I was looking for a simple app where I could jot down my mad ramblings with basic text formatting features. Originally I used a more popular app, and paid £9 just for text formatting (a premium feature), only to realise that you had to format text using a stupid markup language (# for a heading, really?). So I tried this app, and it’s perfect. I can bold, underline, and make italic with simple keyboard shortcuts (thank God for common sense simplicity when text formatting). Thankfully I was able to get a refund on that other apps premium features.

I wanted to title some of my entries, and thanks to the entries preview, I can just bold/underline my first text, and can easily look back on my entries. This app also syncs amazingly, and I have access to all my entries when I load it on my phone.

I emailed the developer about some feature requests, and he emailed me back within an hour and said he’ll try and implement them. Here’s me holding out for being able to use images directly in the entries (rather than just attached at the bottom), and URL’s to work with the keyboard shortcut properly.

I give this app 5 stars, the best app hands down for keeping a diary on anything, due to being feature rich while simple at the same time, and most of all it’s free! And also the developer responds to your emails. 5 *****

Hi there,

I'm glad that you liked the app! :)

I'll fix the issues mentioned (url keyboard shortcut not working) and add image within entry support in a future release of the app.

If you have any additional queries, feel free to send me an email.

Finally an app that allows me to seamlessly switch from paper!

I have written a personal journal for over 30 years but wanted the convenience of doing my future entries digitally. However, until now, nothing compared to the simplicity of pen and paper so I would frequently try and then reject other apps.
The Developer here, Werner Jie, has finally created the perfect solution. No intrusive ads, no fancy stuff that I don't need or want. It is just perfect. I can enter simple text and as little or as much as I want - Also some nice touches like mood capturing emojis and the ability to add photos and easily back up and export my data.
Werner Jie is also incredibly responsive to feedback and requests and is more than willing to listen in order to help make the app even better.
Absolutely brilliant and 100% recommended.

This app is amazing! I suffer with anxiety really bad and I was told that writing my thoughts down and what I do good during the day would help to ease it and it really does! I love the fact that you can set the date, time, weather and how you feel it really makes it feel detailed and like your in control of what your writing. I find it hard to keep a diary as I usually give up about a couple of days but this is so good because it’s on your phone ( which most people have on them all the time) and it’s easy to work and access. I would defiantly recommend to use this if you have anxiety ( it may not work for some people everyone is different).
