Great app
I am starting the second year with my journal and I must say I have tried plenty over there but not a single one is providing me options as Diarly. Customization, mood, steps, weather …. you can insert where you wish. And all data is with you and not on some remote server. Developer is very active and helpfull. If I could I would give 10 stars.

Amazing app
I downloaded this app after trialling out so many different types of journal apps and this one is by far the best! I love the personalisation options, the fact you can create your own journal prompts, the calendar view, the search tool, and so many other features that other apps on the market don’t offer! Whilst I was just looking for a free app, I’ve been so impressed by this app that I will likely pay for the premium subscription ☺️
Love it! 💕
It’s so simple, straightforward, clean and versatile. Plus it’s password protected and you can insert multiple feelings inside one entry between paragraphs too which is realistic and convenient. It feels like that nostalgic diary swapping I used to do with primary school classmates before the advancement of technology.
