Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
This is a big update. Here's what's new since the last version:
* Private, on-device transcription. Your voice entries are now transcribed to text right on your device. Nothing leaves your phone. You can edit transcripts, retry if one doesn't finish, and transcribe recordings you made before this update.
* Backup and restore. Save everything (recipients, messages, recordings, and settings) as a single file you can keep safe, and restore it later.
* Support when you need it. If an entry suggests you may be struggling, the app can offer support resources, now tailored to your region and available in more than 28 countries.
* Make it yours. New background scenes, your own photos as backgrounds, custom color themes, and an in-app help guide.
* More reliable recordings. Your recordings are now stored more safely on your device. Recording stops automatically if you leave the app, to keep your journal private, and what you recorded is waiting for you to save when you return.
