Journal intime,Notes - Diaro 4+

A Favorite app

I downloaded this app at the beginning of the year. I wasn’t much into journaling but wanted to find a substitute to posting on social media as I gave it up. I didn’t expect to enjoy this app as much as I have or utilize as much as I did! I loved being able to journal about my adventures or the most mundane of days, upload pictures to my entries (even memes), creative write, quotes, poems, fascinating stories, write out my goals and the progression of it, and most recently at the end of this year be able to look back and reflect on all the changes that have occurred, how my goals progressed and changed, laugh at some stuff, high 5 myself for making it through others, relive some of the adventures I’ve been on, and even see how my mindset has and hasn’t changed.

I love the layout of this app, the ease of use and posting, uploading pics, and how easy it is to scroll through my posts and categorize them. I like how you can choose your mood, location, temp, and little personalized touches you can add. These little details add to some of the entries I’ve made. I was app happy this year, and this is definitely one of my favorites and most utilized, if not my most favorite.

5 Stars for 5 Years

I have had this app for almost five years. Today I wrote my 500 entry (and I feel bad for never leaving a review). Though I just love how easy and simple it is to use. The ability to add tags, and sort with folders and it’s all completely free. Most diary and writing apps believe or not you need a subscription. I couldn’t even lock those apps without paying. And for free, this app supports Touch ID and you can have a passcode. Minor details that I like is the ability to change the UI color and font style. A feature that they recently added was that you can go back a year or two on that day of the year to read what you written. That’s my favorite feature, and has made me want to write more often so I always have something to look back on. The app also has a character and word count, which is useful, since I have a goal of writing a minimum of 1,500 words everyday. I don’t need the pro version as the app offer so much for free, but I would buy it just to support the developers. I love this app, and I highly recommend it for whatever you plan to write.

Would be 5 stars but no support at all

I love the look and feel of this app. I am a PRO member/subscriber and have been for some time, with over a thousand entries. However, I have been trying to contact the company for support for well over a month and have sent multiple emails, but there has been ZERO response or even acknowledgement. My support questions are deal-breakers, and I conveyed that in my emails, but no reply at all. As a result, I have started testing other apps and will (reluctantly) move if I can't get a response. I can't trust a product that has no support, so my 5-star review has become a 1-star.

The issue I tried to reach support about was that you sync your data, every entry re-dated to the date of sync rather than the date of creation, and there is no way (other than typing it in) I can find to preserve a record of the date the entry was made. This is a MASSIVE issue. The purpose of a diary/diary app is to create a dated record of events. Most of my entries are made on mobile, and so I have sync from the web app in order to see the entries made on mobile. They don't auto-sync, and when I manually sync in the web app, every entry is given the date of the sync, ruining the purpose of dated entries.

I hope that this review will spark some response from the developers, instead of being ignored like my emails. I'll update my review at some point to reflect that outcome.
