Pros and cons of Diary app for iPhone and iPad

Diary app good for

Updated to 5 stars now that bug is fixed and font selections added. A lovely looking Diary app that has a nice old fashioned appeal with password protection. Love the fonts but would be nice to adjust the font size if possible as it can be a little difficult to read.
Beautifully themed "old book" style with a simple intuitive interface that doesnt get in the way when you are jotting down that important thought. Responsive developer who actually follows through on promised updates. The new landscape mode and front change/resize are perfect. My best paid app so far.
Ive downloaded several Diary apps and have to say I like this one the very best. Its easy to use, not bloatware. The choice between fonts is nice and using the handwriting font gives it an old world feeling, like your writing with an old fountain pen on real paper. (When your really doing it on a cool iPhone!) It was easy to email the notes to myself for printing and you can mail individually or in a group. If he added the ability to sort notes into groups or folders and added a few more choices of paper type (rice, lined or scroll) would be lovely, I would have rated it with five stars instead of four. I am really looking forward to the update so I can add photos. Never crashes and is reliable. I like the fact I can type in landscape mode and use a secret key to lock it. Thanks for my new Diary/note application! Marti in Canada
Love being to append photos. Would be awesome now to append voice memos and videos with the recent improvemets. Another suggestion is to be able to add white boards screens as well to doodle if you will.....
Not a big fan of the default handwriting font, so I changed it under the iphones settings - much better! Otherwise, simple to use for basic Diary entry and appending photos and voice data is a good feature (itd be even better if one could append video too).
So far I love this app. It is easy to use, has a romantic appearence. The handwrite font really gives the impresion you are writing instead of typing and makes the Diary really feel personal. Nonetheless, I have a couple of requests which I think would take this app to the next level: 1- allow sections to be created I like to journal on different topics and thatwould really help the notes be more organized. 2- when u add a voice memo itwould be great if y could see an icon on the page you added it to. Anyways I look foward to the updates! I know this app can only get better.

Some bad moments

I just purchased this app. and it is supposed to have voice and picture- even says so in its name. But of couse... Nothing And the writing is tiny. Its pretty looking, but in the end: pretty useless. Mina
You have no control over dates of entries. I want to record a note dated yesterday and I cant. The short excerpt shown on the main screen is too brief. You should see a couple lines of text for each entry, the first couple words is just not enough. It would be a great app if those two things were resolved. I like the fact that you can change font and font size.
Finally upgraded because newest update was supposed to be safe. A Diary is meant to record events and the DATE they happened. When I upgraded, it changed ALL the entry dates to todays date. I needed the dates that specific events happened! Back to reliable pen and paper here!
Every time that I wrote something and said I was done it froze and then kicked me out so everything was lost, it also kicked me out when I put in my e-mail address so that I coud export, didnt save that either. Fix that and it would be a great program.
it doesnt work I wrote a message in and then later on the same day i went to add more information and it did not save the new material...waste of time and money.. it continually closes itself.. the password is only 4 numbers long....
Crashes all the time. Everytime I try to save my entry. Ive even lost info..... Im not happy
