Daygram : My Secret Diary

This is more practical than conventional paper diaries, just because you can find and access to all your notes in a timeline, place time stamps automatically, and it keeps it very simple. But it would really make it better than using conventional diaries if we could attach images to our entries, maybe voice notes... Those are a big plus that really changes the game and would take conventional diaries users to using this app in my opinion. This is the only app that I’ve used and haven’t deleted it because it’s overcharged, good point for you guys, but the feature of adding pictures or voice notes wouldn’t necessarily ruin your minimalist style and I find that it is actually useful.

There is an elegance to DayGram. It allows me to have the timeline benefits of a "journal" without running into a plethora of interface distractions. It can be backed up via iCloud and Dropbox. Journal apps blare with statistics; how many entries, how many today, options to add hash tags, share to social media, add photos. I don't need all that. With DayGram I get a date stamp, a time stamp option and a blank page, thank you. DayGram lends to writing minimalism—often a simple snapshot of the day or an event, but longer entries are just fine. In the rare case an image is desired, the option sits innocuously at the bottom right of the page as an almost invisible icon. --- The two things DayGram lacks are a "dark mode" for nighttime writing and, at least, a couple more font options. I'd pay to have these options added. The holy grail, personally, would be the option to add a custom font. --- In terms of the In-App purchase: I would point out that almost no one wants "themes" that involve generic stock photography backgrounds. That may have been true 5 or 6 years ago. Now most people prefer to add their own image—if they even want one BEHIND their writing. This strange option is the only place DayGram really goes off the rails of its elegant minimalism.

After using a majority of the various journals available for iOS, I’m super impressed with DayGram. Very well thought out, it’s clean design and bug free operation are but two highlights of this outstanding app. The fast convenient date stamp is an essential part of what makes this my favorite journal app of all. Devoid of clutter and distractions DayGram is a delight to use. I highly recommend it.

I have been using this app for over a year now and I initially loved it. It is so simple and easy to use. I love how I can easier go back and view my days and see snapshots into how my day went. It’s also helpful when looking back on when you did certain appointments and stuff if you log them. I often post picture with my entries and frequent back up my entries to the iCloud (just in case). The app went through a recent update and when I updated it on my device it deleted ALL of my pictures off my entries! 😣😳😠 I now only have the words to which has been aoooo frustrating. Hoping I can find a fix to this.

I really liked this beautiful little app. It was so perfect for my needs..a place to write just a few lines every night before bed. Simple, minimalistic design was utterly charming. It was the exactly-right journal I’d always been searching for. I wrote happily in it for several weeks ... and then came the update, after which, to my horror, EVERYTHING I had written was gone. Unfortunately, I had not yet backed it up because it was still so new... and my words were not retrievable. I am so disappointed that I’ve deleted it from my iPhone. I am afraid to trust it now and will have to continue looking for that perfect app. Call me sad! 😞
