## Review summary

Users praise the Dropbox-backed backup, long-term use, and a user-friendly design. However, repeated issues with Dropbox backups and links, plus difficulties transferring/restoring diary data across devices (including automatic uninstall-related data loss), are the main drawbacks. Overall, the app is well-liked for simplicity and backup capability, but data portability and backup reliability across platforms need improvement.

### Pros

- Dropbox backup feature enables easy backup/restore across devices
- Long-term reliability and trust from using the app for many years (a decade)
- User-friendly interface and ease of use

### Cons

- Dropbox backup/upload problems (backups failing, Dropbox links removed)
- Difficulties transferring or restoring all diary data when changing devices (data migration/restoration)
- Unplanned/unautomatic uninstall leading to data loss or entries being wiped
