Daylio Journal - Daily Diary 4+

The Perfect Diary/Journal Companion - Fantastic Dev Team

I have been using this app for over two years now and it is exactly what you would want in a diary/journal app. The app lays out a fantastic, customisable system which allows you to select summaries of your day (restaurant, exercise, reading etc), topped off with the ability to write about your day. A note to and about the Dev team. Using this app for the past two years, I’ve witnessed countless times when the Dev team added new features to the app (such as the ability to add photos to your entries). The only feature that was missing for me was iPad compatibility. I left a review 4 months ago expressing my discontent for a lack of iPad compatibility, which the Dev team responded to, expressing their intention to fix this. Lo and behold, a few months later and they’ve released an update with iPad compatibility. A major thank you to the Dev team. I cannot recommend this app enough. It has everything you will want and you have a supportive, interactive team running it

I wrote my original review 1.5 years ago, and still the Dev team continue to update the app with useful, and practical improvements. Pleasant surprise this morning to find a new photo feature, along with making it easier to search through previous journal entries. Incredible.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback. The iPad version is pretty high on our to-do list. Stay tuned for the updates and thanks for your patience!

Genuinely Surprised it’s Free!

I don’t usually review the apps I like but after revisiting this app I have been blown away at how perfect it’s been for me!

The layout is lovely, it’s simple to use, there are ways of getting around the limits of the free version and the fact that it’s a once off payment for premium warms my soul.

Over the last few years I've been terrible at keeping mood diaries, I’m about as inconsistent as my turbulent emotions, but something about the quick and easy to use interface of this app makes it feel a whole lot easier! Using this app has helped me identify triggers and re-evaluate my emotional responses to small situations. It’s also given me a much better overview of my overall emotional experience as a person struggling with their mental health and I will be forever grateful for everything this app has allowed me to achieve already. I don’t have premium yet though once I start earning an income again I’m sure it’ll be on the top of my wish list!

If you’re looking for a mood diary app that’s both quick to use and detailed, you might as well try out Daylio. Not sponsored!

A Necessity

This app has been my go-to for the past few years. It’s concise and simple with a clear and clean interface. The analytics are an absolute game changer and have helped me immensely. I am able to track goals, activities and my moods and trace back my history to see what had me down (or on a high) and notice trends that really can reflect so many things. It helped me with depression and I can keep an eye on my lifestyle with it and see what things help or worsen my state, or how often I’m feeling down. Can’t recommend this app enough!

Even if you don’t have concerns about your mental state, it’s a really great app for keeping track of goals and activities and keeping a routine! And SO SATISFYING TO LOOK AT. This app is the bomb ✌️
