User Reviews

Users appreciate Dementia/Digital Diary/Clock for its high customization, effective calendar syncing, and free, ad-free support for dementia patients and caregivers. It extends the life of older devices and helps reduce confusion with clear date and event displays. However, several reviews mention a steep learning curve in setup, occasional issues with calendar events and syncing, difficulty exiting the app once set as home, and limited in-app guidance. Despite these, it is highly valued for improving daily life and communication for dementia sufferers and their families.

Pros

Highly customizable with numerous configuration options to tailor the display and notifications.
Works well on older or less powerful devices like tablets or e-ink readers, extending their usability.
Syncs effectively with Google Calendar for shared event updates among family members.
Provides vital support for dementia patients by displaying date, time, reminders, and events to reduce confusion and increase independence.
Free of charge with no ads, making it accessible to a wide range of users and caregivers.

Cons

Initial setup and configuration can be complex and not very intuitive, requiring persistence to learn.
Some users experienced issues with calendar repetition events and syncing only working when selecting all calendars.
The app's 'Home Application' mode can lock the device into the app, making it difficult to return to the standard home screen.
Limited documentation or accessible help within the app; instructions can be sparse or hard to find.
Certain features like image/audio integration or some font/color settings are hard to use or incomplete.

Recent reviews

Superb app. Very well written with a high level of configuration. I ended up just creating a google accout for a calendar and sharing that logon around the family. We put in an entry so it pops up for mum to see. I reused an old hudl2 tablet which had a knackered battery anyway. After 2 years I removed the battery + just run on mains. . I Mounted in a wooden frame. Suggest users remove as much software from their tablet as possible so the app can work to it's best.

Excellent free app with tons of customization. I set up on an e-ink tablet. Highly recommend! Example I have date at very top right. Then I have a blue background for all day events in a bar above the Day in green in large font. Under that I have time in even larger font. Then I have 3 rows of timed events that stay until they pass. For active event the background turn red in a banner. Customized to use the notification timing instead of event timing for more heads up.
