Review summary

Users laud the app for its cute, calming design and the ability to create multiple journals with customizable content, plus its usefulness for school projects. However, recurring concerns center on monetization (ads and paid content), plus usability issues like hard-to-read text entry, stability problems, and occasional lag during editing. Overall, it’s praised for aesthetics and ease of use, but ads and UI/stability annoyances temper the experience.

Pros

Cute, calming design with pretty stickers and decor.
Allows multiple journals/books and customization, including adding photos.
Easy to use and beginner-friendly.
Useful for school projects or personal life planning.

Cons

Ads persist even when subscribed; the app shows ads and monetization can be intrusive.
Many features feel gated behind payment; not free and perks vary by plan.
Typing and text entry can be hard to read or use due to fonts and color occupying too much space.
Stability issues like occasional crashes or login prompts (random password issues) disrupt usage.
Some editing can be slow or laggy due to font/color processing.

2026-04-12	el*****	I love this app even though I don’t use it as a diary. I use this as a junk journal and it is great. Pretty stickers and you can have more than one journal.
