Ratings and reviews

This app is GREAT! The scramble lock is SO COOL, my face lit up when I tested it out and realized what it actually did! The formatting is so.. well.. simple, it's a great place for keeping your thoughts. Furthermore, I think the way you can have separate journals with multiple entries is really cool! It's great for when you want to organize what ideas go where. I wouldn't say it's a standard note taking app, so keep that in mind. It definitely seems to be made for more of a diary type thing :)

Very well made app, simple and useful, I have been writing on it for a while. However, I really wish the price of the pro version is cheaper. Really? $80 for a Google drive access? Also, I hope the developers can make a online or app for the computer so I can write stuff by my computer. Edit: thanks for the reply. Personality I think it is nice to be able to access my notes from my computer or on web. However, if it costs the sacrifice of onetime payment then no.

I absolutely love this so much. I love that you can give a color to each journal, and it means so so much that you can scramble it. Gonna add a bit more- It also adds dates to your entries so I no longer have to attempt to remember (and fail), I love how basic and easy the app is as well. I also love to be able to categorize the journals. In short, this app deserves a 5.0 rating on Google Play. It's amazing.
