Diary with Lock: Daily Journal

I just started working with this app to document my progress during medication intake and recovery, I have to say it's absolutely perfect for a mood journal! It comes with the cutest mood stickers and backgrounds ever! It has plenty of nice options for those who don't want to buy premium, which is even nicer, in my honest opinion. You can even try options for free by watching an ad! You can tell the developer of this app cares more about user experience than profit! Very cute and very helpful.

I couldn't find a way to lock it. Every time I opened it, it showed everything I had written last. Too easily accessible to nosy intruders. I don't know how others protected theirs. I looked all over for this feature and couldn't find it. EDIT: I can lock it now so I updated my rating. The only thing that needs improvement is the automatic spacing, punctuation and capitalizing. I find myself going back through my entry to fix a lot of it because I use voice typing.

I really enjoy this journal! It's very simple and to the point with entries, and I enjoy that you can include images and use the emojis to signify how your day has been. I think my only hang-ups, which are minor, is the lack of emojis to use to show how you're feeling as there's about 3 sad ones, 3 happy that take up the majority of emotes, and no capitalization. It would be nice to see a neutral face or a little more variety, but again, minor hang-up for what is a very creative journal app! :)

First entry was a complete success!! I can't believe this app is free and I'm SO grateful for that! I love all the font colors and the backgrounds, and I love that I can add pictures to remind myself in photo-form what kind of a day I had. I also appreciate the "mood" setting before we even get started. It really helps to set the tone and get my head right for what I'm going to log for the day. ♥️ 10/10 recommend

this is genuinely the best diary apl i've had. little to NO ads (i literally cant remember if there even are any) and the interface is so user friendly and cute! I love that theres a good amount of styles to choose from without having to pay. I do kind of wish there were different emotions to pick from (or to customize and choose your own) but that doesn't bother me enough. great app (:

A very good journaling app! I love how there are no restrictions on it that you'd have to pay for; that is too common among apps like these, and I'm happy this app isn't one of them. I love the features such as the alarms, inserting pictures, and locking the app to others. I also love the selection of themes that really makes the app feel like your own. The aesthetics are simplistic but great. The only thing I have to suggest is the ablility to change fonts. Thank you for this amazing app!

This app works very good for my needs. I love how it gives me daily reminders at a set time. The mood emoji for each entry is a great touch. It's a simple, but great app. My biggest complaint is that it will NOT automatically capitalize the first letter after a period. It is really annoying since I like my writing to be grammatically correct. 5 stars if the all grammar issues gets fixed.

I have reviewed lots of diaries and this one is the best. It has so many options and is easy to navigate. It even has an option for a passcode. You can change the theme and add images to your journal entry!! It also has a mood picker and when you look at the calendar you can see your moods over the past few days. I love this app, it is the perfect diary app.

I really like the app. My goal is to write an entry every day for a year so the monthly view is a helpful feature. I just wish there were more background options in the free version, for both the app theme background and for the daily journal entries. And at least a few more moods in the free version... Also capitalize letters at the start of each sentence. I thought my keyboard did that automatically but this is the only app it doesn't do that on.

I like this app. It's simple. It gives me the opportunity to record my emotions overall for the day. It has some fun features, but not so much that it's distracting. I would like it if the sentences automatically capitalized the first word. And if the date was shown with the emotion icons on the calendar. And if there was a download option to save entries as a pdf to my phone. Great app, I will continue to use it!

No ads, easily customizable, (like u can change the app ICON), completely free, u don't have to pay ANYTHING And I can easily edit previous entries and add photos as freely as I want, I can change the theme and background. I can record my mood for the day, it's a great app and one of a kind. Wish there were more apps like this😍 Edit: or at least there used to be no ads....i used to think this app was AMAZING but I updated the app and now I have ads...

I love this app! Its password protected and there are many ways to customize it so its truly your own Diary. Super easy to use, but the only bad thing is the ads. It's not TERRIBLE, but it still can take away from that excellent experience. If you're struggling with things that you have to get out but dont feel comfortable saying, this app most definitely helps. So yeah, 4/5 because of the ads but it's a GREAT app.

Great app. I enjoy having the ability to passcode protect my thoughts and it's just simple and to the point. I'm only taking a star off because I'm not sure if it's my keyboard or what, but adding commas and periods don't work normally (they don't get added immediately, instead they add a space and you have to backspace to add them). Then sentences don't start with capital letters, which... Shouldn't be an app thing, it should just read my keyboard inputs and output them. Overall, great job 👍

This is the best diary app I have ever had. I liked it so much that I even paid the subscription to get rid of the ads, and I am not disappointed at all! Super recommended. It's easy to use, and the privacy is great. No one even knows I'm making entry's everyday. You can back up your entries in case you lose your phone, too! I bought a new phone and re-download the app and was able to save all my entries from the cloud!

Decent, cute themes! It's super fun that you can add a lil emoji too. I just have a few issues. The ads are very extreme, which is... fine. The font however.. firstly, the colors. You should be able to use a color wheel, not pre picked colors. There's also no black color, which baffles me. Only a dark brown. Secondly, I wish you could outline the font. Like black on the outside, white on the inside. Lastly, the typing. When I say 'I' and follow it up, it autocorrects to 'Il'. Overall good app.

This is the best journal app out there. Yes, I paid for a subscription because it really is the best app. It's super easy, fun, has delightful backgrounds, it's just fun. I've used tons of these and this is BY FAR my favorite. You can journal, use it as a photo book, use it as a travel diary. Whatever purpose you can think of. You can choose text size, font, background, mood and more. Very pleased with this one.

I love this app! It is easy to use and i belive that the 1 2 or 3 star reveiws the app just isnt compatible with there devices. If i think the adds are annoying id just turn my internet for the time im writing. I love how you can change the font and background so it can match how you feel that day. Also i like how it gives you daily reminders so i dont forget a day or 2. If you need a personal diary on your device i recomend this app!
