Did you ever try to keep a diary but never succeeded? Or did you have writer's block problem? Grid Diary is here for you.

Grid Diary is introducing a unique way of writing a diary. In Grid Diary, diary entry is made up of a number of "Grids", which is as simple as a question, prompt, or etc. It is like a pre-defined template for the diary. Thinking and writing in this way is more effective, and it feels more natural and fluid. You still have total freedom in the amount of the grid and the text you want to fill in a grid.

We started with a simple and clear purpose, and have always kept minimal design in mind. Through carefully crafted gestures, Grid Diary enhanced user experience in many ways.

Good app that made an unfortunate decision. This was a good app, and like others on my phone - I have always been happy to pay for that and have encouraged friends to do the same. But I will never be pleased with subscriptions: instead of paying for present functionality, it feels like paying for future potential or unused capabilities - or its existence. Just as I don’t like paying for cell data I don’t use and cable tv I don’t watch and streaming content I don’t care about - I don’t appreciate paying for an apps features I’m not interested in, nor its preservation. A developer’s choice to go with this model, my choice to not follow: goodbye Grid, hello pay-up-front journals.

Love it until..... I’ve been using this app for months. I write something in it daily. Today I had to restore my phone. When I try to restore the 24k file from iCloud, it just continues to load forever. So I’ve lost all my data. Useless now. ***UPDATE Dec 19, 2017*** I decided to download the app again. To my surprise, they fixed the restore feature. So im deleting my other journal app and returning to this one. Love the app! PLEASE continue to support.

Easiest way to track those routine questions. I’ve been using this app for over 2 1/2 years once you get the basic concept down (which does not take too long) it is extremely helpful to keep track of basic questions that will help you track your day. For instance: “how much money did you spend?”, “Did you exercise today?“ , did I sleep and how long?” Just things like that are really useful with this app it’s one of those apps when I get a new phone or restore from a full reset, bread diary is always one of the top apps that I have to put back on my phone affair with you to google maps so it’s that kind of helpful and useful I would say

#pnptribe. I downloaded this app for journaling and using for 24 hour food planning. I’m part of a weight loss community called Phit-n-Phat and I shared this with the others in the community. Many of them have purchased it as well! So far I’m really liking it because I was able to edit my grid to match my 24 hour planning and that is my default grid. The reminders are super helpful in keeping me accountable to meeting my goals. This app could be used for just about anything it is so flexible! This is almost like creating a personalized workflow for yourself to meet just about any professional or personal goal. Thank you!!

A couple of annoying bugs.... Face recognition often authenticates once, then blanks out and does it again after successfully doing it the first time, then says it failed the second time. This is annoying and wastes time. Also, when I add a bullet to a new line and then delete something I type after the bullet, I don’t want the bullet deleted unless I CHOOSE to delete it. Wanting to delete the text after it and correct it does not mean I want to delete the bullet itself. They fixed this bug for a couple of days, then after an update with “bug fixes”, the bullet bug was back.

Amazing way to keep a journal. This application has been a blessing for my life. I am a person that easily forgets the amazing things that happen in a day to day life. With this application, I can customize the way that I write out each day. It held me to reach my goals, it helps me stay organized, and I can do it in my own format! I recommend this application to anyone that wants a simple, easy, and efficient application to keep a daily journal.

I LOVE it! It does the thinking for you!. I love that I don’t have to be thinking about what to write. Usually when I try to start a daily journal, I stop after a while because of how long it takes me to write and think about what to write. This app does the thinking for you! And also, when I forget something that happened, the questions help me remember stuff pretty well, and if I do something continuously, I can make my own default! Absolutely love it!! 👌🏻

Super app, and definitely worth the money for the premium version.. For a lot of the diary/mindfulness apps I use I’m really inconsistent and eventually become disinterested with the questions they ask- this app (while I’m still inconsistent even with notifications because I am sometimes too tired to write) feels a bit more tailored to my thought process instead of just my feelings in general, and paying to keep it that way was more than worth it.

Great app - highly recommended. I love grid diary. I like that I can customize the prompts to what I want and can change them at anytime. Using this app has helped me to focus on what I am grateful for and celebrate small, daily wins - two things shown to improve our happiness. Even on “bad” days I can always find one thing I am truly grateful for and often that leads to another and another and then the day isn’t so bad after all. I also use it to help me notice accomplishments at work especially on those days that it feels like I ran from one fire to the next and didn’t mark anything off my to-do list. I truly believe focusing your thoughts on the positive can change your life. Since using this app I have lost 5 pounds and gotten a promotion with a $20,000 pay increase. I’m not saying it was all because of this app but it has certainly helped me keep things in perspective.

What I expected. I was looking for something exactly like this, and I got it! I like how it gives you statistics, and you can make new prompts/set different default ones. I miss journal writing but this is so much easier to work with. Paying for the pro version was actually pretty worth it! I wish they could customize colors and add more emotions/weather icons (blizzard) and have a place to input avg temperature or something like (cold, hot, humid, etc), but it’s amazing.

Favorite Journaling App.. I love journaling, but I’m so bad at it because I’ll set an alarm for a random part of the day and be busy when it goes off which leads to me forgetting about it later. With this app though, it alarms me at 9:30 every night when I’m winding down and reflecting on my day. I love that you can choose questions to help guide you on what to write and that relate to what happened during your day. Great app!💕

Helpful app. I really do enjoy this app and may upgrade. I really enjoy being able to write and store my own prompts too. My only qualms are when I disable a prompt it still appears on my template as a default and I have to erase them again. I was hoping when I disabled a prompt it wouldn’t show up as a default and when I go to the template selection on both my iPadair and iPhone 5s it closes out the app instead of showing me template options.

Nice, but needs a desktop app. Pretty great so far. I like that you can customize the prompts and have a default template, or just switch it up from day to day. I’m glad to have found a diary that comes with prompts! I’ve only seen them as physical books before, and who wants to buy/carry those everywhere? This is perfect for me. It is a bit annoying to type from my phone, but that’s not the app’s fault of course haha. It’s disappointing that there’s not a desktop/mac version of the app so far, but at least you get to export with evernote. If you have a long commute like I do and are fine with typing on your phone, this is the app for you. If not, you may want to try another that has cloud capability and an app for the desktop

Download it!. I love this app. I've been bullet journaling for a few months now but sometimes it's hard to find time to sit down and physically write. This makes it so easy! What I especially love is the ability to set one grid as your daily grid to contemplate, track, or explore anything you think you need to. I set one aside for gratitude. Another for an intention for the day. Another as a food log. Another as a yoga log. One to write freely in. It's great for staying focused and present and clear I really appreciate it. I also really recommend it for anyone with mental health issues ❤️ If there’s one thing I would change, I would want either more moods to choose from to add to my daily grid, or to be able to add my own moods (and be able to choose some little face to go with it). As another user pointed out, when using this journal to track mental health, “happy” and “sad” don’t always cut it. Please and thank you Grid Diary!

Good app, but a little frustrating. The idea is terrific. I’m trying to develop new habits and shed old habits. I’m 73 and concerned about tracking my health issues and doing more preventive care. So having questions in a grid makes those things easier. The difficulty I have is that the grids are not easy to edit. Unless I just don’t understand the minimal documentation. It should be easier to add and subtract cells I don’t need in a particular template and then choose to save them to the template or not. It would also be handy if I could import items from my calendar. Like I said, great concept and I’ll keep using it as long as it is useful to me.

Journaling Taken To A Whole New Level. I have been journaling for years and stumbled across this App quite by accident. Now using it daily and not only enjoy the writing experience, but it is delightful to go back and read prior entries. Easy to use and the questions, whether my own or the ones provided by the developers, carry my thoughts into new directions and gently prod me to write down memories I otherwise would likely have lost forever. Whether you want to try journaling for the first time or you have a long history of it, this is a must have App!

The Perfect Daily Journal. I was searching for a daily journal to utilize, and I wanted something that included more of a reflective opportunity for the day, versus just a notepad to write daily. Grid Diary is fantastic, the prompts that are included are incredible, and make you write more than just about your day, or if you’re someone like me, you don’t know what to write and just stare at a blank screen/sheet of paper. Great app, definitely recommend!

1SAME. If there was a 10 star option, I would give it. After trying lots of journals/diaries, this one is wonderful. So many features that I love. It’s a great “snapshot” of what’s going on in my life. Nice to be able to drop a photo into my “day”. After reading some of the other reviews, I realize there are some features I’m not taking advantage of. I’m looking forward to exploring all the other things I can do with the Grid Diary. Thank you for coming up with a simple but special system!

Tried and True. This is the original Grid Diary, now called "Classic." It's probably my favorite app-- easy to use, intuitive, elegant, and very customizable. The journaling become part of my morning routine thanks to the simplicity of this app. Unfortunately, the developers are trying to steer users towards Grid Diary 2, which is one of the most awful disasters I've ever experienced on iOS. It's actually mind-boggling. So hopefully we can encourage the developers to keep the classic version running and updated. Not broken, nothing to fix here.

Beware- Photo limit in Pro. I have had the pro version of this app for several years. I upgraded so that I would no longer have a limit on the number of photo’s I could add. Today I discovered there is a limit. Even in Pro. I can only add 8 more photo’s! So went to the web site to see if this is a glitch or if the Developer has responded to this problem. Did find in the Q&A section users comment’s @ this problem, but no response by the Developer. Nothing. So beware. Also, no way to print out your journal. Also, this App takes up a LOT of memory.

Amazing app.. I use to download all kinds of various journaling apps but always ended up deleting them because they were either too confusing or weren’t what I was looking for. I’ve only just downloaded this and I am hooked on it. It extremely easy to use, it comes with prompts in which you can answer, and it also lets you select how the weather was or how your mood was today. You can also add or delete prompts which I find nice.

Highly Valuable. If you are one for goal setting, long-term planning, setting and and tracking tasks and activities, then you must put this in your productivity toolbox. It provides you with a fast, effective, and slightly different way of engaging the day. It's flexible enough to use as a planning and tracking tool, or as a daily review or journal. The way you use this it's up to you. Keep it simple or make it comprehensive. Completely satisfied. The best way to get the answers you need daily is to first ask the right questions. This app helps you do that.

Good for those who have a hard time journaling. I’ve always struggled with the daily journal. My life coach tells me that journaling is a very important part of each day, because it’s like writing your own Bible. However, most days were a struggle because I wouldn’t know where to start or what to write. Since using Grid Diary, I have not missed a day. Being able to set my day up with questions it gives me a guide on what to write. The app comes with pre packaged questions, or you can make up your own. I set mine up to have two grid questions to write about in the morning and set up my day, then the remaining 6 grids ask about my day and accomplishments. This has opened up my days to journaling and accomplishing what I set up my day to be. I absolutely love this app.

The perfect app for guided journaling. I like apps like this that are a one-time purchase not monthly — like this version of the original Grid Diary app. I wish the company would stick to offering one-time purchases and start rotating skins and premium images to add to the diary like cover stickers or stationary backgrounds to buy as one time purchases. If they did offer this, I would regularly buy those too for every season and in different color themes.

A New Way of Journaling. Usually when I download a “diary” or “journal” app I often get conflicted on what to write. Sometimes I have days where I don’t do much at all and the page often looks almost blank. Most days I have no idea what I’d write anyways! It can be so difficult. But with this app, writing down simple responses is the perfect way to reflect on your day (especially when you love answering questions). It gives you a nice range of example questions with different topics and of course you can write your own custom questions as well; that’s a nice add-on! Even though I haven’t gotten the Pro version of this app it’s still very useful and doesn’t flood your app time with meaningless adds. There’s the occasional pop up asking if you’d like to update to Grid Diary Pro though which I can’t complain too much about. Overall, this is my favorite journal app and I think I wouldn’t use any other one. It’s simple and to the point. Nothings cluttering the screen, it’s very organized and has a nice aesthetic and minimalist feel. Love it!

Interesting, but Want More. For starters, this is an easy, fairly self-explanatory app to use. I’m loving the prompts, as I feel it will inspire me to actually use the app and start journaling consistently. I do wish there were more features to truly personalize the journal and add creativity, such as being able to change font color and style WITHIN each individual grid, choosing your color for backgrounds, and even adding in stickers, to make it more like a bullet journal, if desired. I feel as though the paid version does not offer enough features for the amount paid. However, for what it is, it is pretty good, and may be useful. So I will stick with it & see how I feel about it as time goes on. Worth a try.

I'm daily journaling! I'm more aware and grateful.. Thanks to this easy to use journaling tool, I am able to keep up with daily journal entries again. I used to keep a daily hard bound journal for many years, but as interruptions increased, I was missing days and weeks at a time. I'm so glad I am back to daily journaling with the help of this app. I mostly use it on my iPad, but since it is synced with my iPhone I can journal while I'm waiting for my food at a restaurant like I did yesterday. An unexpected benefit has been that I find myself being more aware of the important things in life, like making time with family and friends. This is a bigger priority since I'm aware I will be recording it. I've added a questions like, "Where did I see the hand of God in my life today?" This has helped me spiritually and increased my awareness and gratitude. I've also added "Things I'm praying for" and "Prayers answered." It's really added value to my life in unexpected ways. I've added, "Current events" to include what I'm aware of happening in my community and the world and my opinion of it. I'm emailing my entries to myself and still printing a hard copy because that gives me some security just in case the electronic copy is lost. I paid for the full version because it's well worth being able to add as many photos as I like. Plus the cost is minimal compared what I used to pay for my hard bound journals. I highly recommend this!

Good for mindfulness. Good app! I love the different prompts! I would love if there was a way to see a correlation for number of steps, weather and mood! I think I would definitely go pro for that, even though I’ll go pro to support the developers anyways. But I think it would be great to see how these things effect our feelings, if at all! Great app, would recommend. Has made me reflect a lot more on my days.

Great App for reflecting and self help. I have the free version of this app and I absolutely love it!😍 It’s great for reflecting on personal health weather its social interactions, your mental, emotional or physical health! I feel like I’m more aware of who I am & how to improve. It will take time to get used too and maybe notice slight changes in your well being but it’s nice because you can reflect on your day and look back on it over time! It’s a pretty smart idea and I find it easy to use for the most part! I recommend it for everyone! It will only take a few minutes depending on how many questions you ask yourself!😊

Disappointed in new business model. This is a great app that has helped me a lot. However buyer beware: I bought the pro version of this original Grid Diary just 2 months ago only to find out today it will no longer be updated - starting *last* week. Gee, thanks for the warning. I believe developers should be compensated for new releases and understand the need to focus on the new release; but to suddenly cut off updates for customers like myself who paid for this app just a few weeks ago is incredibly disappointing. I believe the fair thing would be to continue maintenance releases for the old version for at least a year so anyone who spent money on it will get a fair return on their investment. By suddenly stopping all updates on the old app, it feels like the dev is trying to force users to spend money on the new app - and spend a lot more at that since it is a subscription model only.

Doesn’t sync. I like the app and bought the pro version. Very disappointed to find it doesn’t sync with my iPad. I’ve tried reading the support page but haven’t found anything that helps. Contacting the developer seems impossible. Clicking that links tries to take you to their Chinese website - never loads on my phone. App would be great if I could also use it on my iPad where I can use a keyboard. Wouldn’t have purchased Pro if I knew it wasn’t going to sync. 3/2/18: The developer did contact me and gave me a long list of things to try - none worked. I would increase my rating if I could use my iPad, but if the phone data won’t sync, paying for Pro was a waste.

Great Potential - Needs more.... Found this app while looking for a way to primarily journal what I wore on certain days to certain events...and note what I did at work each day. Started with the free version, but due to several limitations & needing a richer experience, I purchased the Pro version. There are still limitations that, if improved, would make this. 5-star app. Must link thru Dropbox or iCloud to sync. I don’t think I’ve seen an app require this. Perhaps many do, just none I’ve encountered. Formatting is BASIC. Entries look double-spaced. The is no single space option, which I would prefer when I am journaling. There are a few font options, but are very similar. While you can greatly alter the grid prompts and templates, you cannot change the default. You must change the template manually daily. In a perfect world, default templates could be recurrently scheduled, perhaps by days of the week. It would be a very nice bonus if tags & searches were added. While I have not experienced this issue, I have read on another review that the app only allows for 9 photos - total - for the whole app. I love the app, but for a paid pro version that syncs & backs up on my cloud storage, that would be a deal breaker. If photos are limited, I will lower my rating of this app and delete it. If improvements listed above are made, I will upgrade my rating and sing its praises.

I’m a happy camper!. I’m very happy with the app so far! I still haven’t upgraded to the pro version but I may do it soon so I can keep more than 5 photos with the pro version. I like that I can set up the “most common” questions to start guiding what I want to write. On a “slow” day, I can just write what I had for breakfast/lunch/dinner and from there it inspires me to write further (e.g. I cooked this food for dinner, got the recipe from Pinterest, it’s so easy and yummy...something like that)

Great way to stay in touch with myself and track Mental health patterns. Super helpful to look at trends in my life such as what I’m eating or the things that stressed me out during the day and be able to look at my life and a bigger picture. It’s also nice to be able to have the upgraded version where I can add pictures because I take a lot of photographs and it’s nice to add that special experience of looking back at how my day went in photo form.

Perfection. Grid Diary operates precisely how my brain thinks. A little here, a little there. When I want to go back to a thought, there is no need to search through everything I've written tediously. I can pick a previous idea and go back to it quickly. It is appealing, user-friendly, and highly versatile, making it easy to personalize and to journal.

Very cute minimalist diary app!. I downloaded this to get into journaling and was impressed enough to buy the full version (which is very cheap; excellent investment but by no means required to enjoy the app) almost immediately. The interface is very clean and well-designed on both iPhone and iPad, and the prompts are great. You can even randomize what prompts you're given on the day with "edit grid" (and add or remove tiles too). The only thing is I wish there was more variety in the default prompts, and some of them are worded awkwardly, but the meaning is clear enough regardless, and it does not detract from the overall quality of the app. Creators obviously put a lot of love into it!

Love it!. I really like the relaxed feel of this app. I don’t like keeping reflective journals—even though they are great for mental health—because I’m afraid of messing up a good notebook with crappy thoughts. However, just writing down some ideas, even just to get them out, is really good for you. I light of this app is very low stakes and allows me to change the prompts as I feel that I need to for the day. Some days have more events than others, some have more special connotations than others, and some are just about getting through the bad. And I love that flexibility. Plus there’s a stats check that lets you check your overall mental health over a period of time. Which is great if you need a quick snapshot of how you felt for a week/month between talk therapy sessions. 😊

Strongly recommend. It’s fairly easy to use except that the grid part could be better designed I think. But I love how they have all those grids that allow you to reflect upon your day and actually feel like you’re building up sth. This app is unlike other diaries which I use (like day one), I think based on its functionality, this one is more reflective while other apps tend to be more about one’s immediate feelings. It’s premium price is honestly pretty decent and affordable. I genuinely appreciate that the developers have put in such great effort to keep this app clean and sleek and useful. You guys are awesome !

Love this app!!!!!!!. I keep thinking to get like an actual journal, but then my thoughts are always so random, and writing all that in a paper journal, I'd never be able to find each entries with that specific topic. With grid diary, i know that every time I have a new idea for a topic and I'm gonna be writing about, I can just find all the entries I ever did for this topic. Everything is soo organized, and the design itself is amazing as well. It took a little to get familiarized with how to work it, but now I use it EVERYDAY.

Great for Non-Diary Users. I don't use a diary regularly for one reason. I usually just end up ranting about something small and it makes me feel very negative, like I didn't get anything off my chest. THIS APP FIXES THIS! The set questions were alright, I used a couple of them, but mainly wrote my own. I actually use this every day and it makes me feel productive and helps me get my ducks in a row. It's a little buggy and I, as someone who doesn't pay, get tons of ads to upgrade. I totally understand that this is a business but after hitting the X button so many times, I thought they would get the gist. Oh well. All that said, this is an awesome app.

Grid diary pro. Well to start off with this review, I just want to say that this app is very good. It helped me alot when I was going through things. Next thing is that I dont think it is necessary to buy a pro just to put a passcode. We,the people, get this app to write out how we feel and we assume that this will only stay between us. Having strict parents and this app will only start bad things. This is only my opinion but I believe that you should take out having a passcode for only pros.

Enjoy Journaling?. If you enjoy a different style of Journaling, rather than plan ol' white paper with lines. And are looking for something just a little bit different, then this is the one for you! Using a grid style with pre-selected prompts (which you can change,and use your own questions or select another from there own list of prompts) to each box, (which again you can change the amount of boxes you use or add more for more details about your experiences throughout the day). Not to mention adding a picture or two to your entries (limited number one is able to add if not a pro member, which honestly is $5.00 for life, one time fee or $1.49 per month) worth every penny honestly,in my opinion.

Qualitative Self-tracking Reflections. Some apps allow you to track habits but reduce the process to a tally. Some apps quantify your well being and express the results and charts and graphs that reflect everything from heart rate and steps to time spent productive. Some apps set up a blank page for dated, long-form journaling with media entry. And for short-form, one can always blog. If that’s what you seek, go elsewhere. The strength of THIS app is that it supports recurring or changing prompts of your choosing that you can adapt over time and its interface inspires concise responses while not forcing one to do so. Create a template for mindful daily reflection that has the benefits of automation but retains flexible, modular inputs.

Bullet journal for the phone. Just as the title says. This can easily be a minimalistic bullet journal for the phone. I always seem to forget the book so having this makes it ten times easier to keep up. With the pro version I can sync between my devices so no matter where I go or what device I use I always have access. Along with that, I can customize the tiles to be however I want. Making it that much easier to keep track of data. I will be keeping my bujo just for quick reference for other things but I am glad I found this as well.

Pro Upgrade Failed. I spent $4.99 on the pro upgrade and the app will not upgrade even with the absolute latest release, after multiple delete and reinstalls and even phone restarts. I emailed customer support and they responded once with “update to the latest release”. After confirming several times that the version I had installed was what they referenced as the latest release, I replied to customer support asking for a fix or refund and 2 weeks later have not received any reply at all. Terrible company. Could be a good app but seriously this stuff isn’t hard to figure out. Blacklisting this company from any further purchases.

It’s exactly what I wanted. This is the minimalist journal I was looking for and I didn’t realize that you can easily edit all the questions then make that version the default template so that you’re saving the exact info you want. So very cool. Also, the developer seems keen to satisfy users—always a good thing. I’ll be using this app every day now that I’ve customized my template. So cool.

A good, stress free way to journal. It's a journal that can be customized just for you, and since it's on your phone you can have your journal, notes, to do list on you at all times. How people prefer to journal and what they want out of a journal is different from person to person. You have to try some different types/methods of journaling before you find the right one for you. This may or may not work for you, but it is definitely worth giving a shot.

Can’t live without. Grid Diary is my go-to spot to save my favorite pictures, quotes, and thoughts in a visual way that makes it easy for me to find them later. I’ve been able to make it my own and I’ve almost reached a year of entries! I don’t feel the pressure to write a novel every day, I feel accomplished even if I just write a couple lines. I love this app and recommend it to anyone on the go that needs a quick way to jot down the happenings from the day and the things that are most important to you.

Please add handwriting for iPad / Apple Pencil. Hand writing is such an important part of daily journaling. It would be amazing if you could add Apple Pencil support for hand written notes in this application. I heard about 5 Minute Diary on Tim Ferris (get the book and that podcast is great.) I've become convinced of the power of journaling though those two sources. Huge benefits to daily gratitude, goal setting and recapping before bed. This app runs circles around every other diary app I've tried. I basically plugged in 5 Minute Diary questions and a few others and find this so perfect an interface. The best part is you can customize the topics/questions to whatever is important to you in your life at that time. By setting an alarm for morning and night you really start to form the daily habit which is the most important part of an app/ritual like this. Upgrading to the paid features was a no brainer. These developer have a great sense of design and workflow. Great job you guy!

Love it!. I’ve really enjoyed this app! The only reasons I didn’t give it 5 stars is because: 1. You cannot set a Power thought or mantra for the day in the space by the date. I think it would be helpful to see that every time you open that day’s grid. 2. When time stamping something, it even lists the seconds. But you cannot time stamp a picture... just seems odd. I do have the upgraded version and love it!

Best Diary app EVER!. this is the best diary app I've ever used so far. have download heaps payed for heaps. its worth every cent!!! love adding bits to all the grid spots thru the day. its heaps easier that writing to a blank page. then you read back over the day and see how many things you get up to! awesome. dont wreck it with updates please.

Pretty good journal app. I am loving the simplicity of this app, very responsive and has most of the requirements I need to journal. My only issue is that it would be wonderful to have the option to be able to write with my apple pen on the entries instead of type.

Amazing. This app is so simple and easy to use, but extremely effective. It has many questions to choose from depending on your lifestyle. This is a simple way of doing a diary and is cute that you can reflect. It's also really modern and up to date

Journal wherever you go. I have given up on my paper journals. I can journal at any moment with Grid Diary and keep pics with my memories.

Pro upgrade now working. Wow...the founder got back to me personally & reloaded an updated version to the app within a day of feedback. Brilliant app, top notch service Well done! Cheers Corey

great app!. Good app for diary keeping, especially given my current mental unwell situation. I like the questions which help me focus my mind and keep it going. Being able to revisit old answers per question makes it great to see consistency. Some dashboard status and ability to see full answers of 1 question on multiple days just by swiping would be god.

good app. i use this app every single day, i think the following would be good to look at/fix: 1) issues with attaching photos. used to be fine when adding photos, whereas lately you can’t add up to 9 photos. i have managed to add 5 to a grid. i go back and try add and it acts as if it’s adding it, but nothing it added. 2) when you want to change your default grid, it doesn’t update any dates where you have entered text into a grid. surely this could be fixed? 3) would be awesome to have some different choices of font overall this app helps me to stay organised, and is an app i use every single day... it is simple and clean, easy for anyone to get the hang of.

Great & encouraging. I’ve always wanted to keep a diary because I know for a fact that it helps me achieve personal goals and reflect on past feelings. This makes it so easy. I’ve set the grids up for the first few as morning, the last few as evening. Upgraded to Pro without a hitch. Requests! If would be great if the top had a bullet point of goals I’d like to achieve for the day, kind of like a to do list. I fill out the diary in the morning and the evening to reflect on the day and what I actually did what I set out to achieve. Or even just a box that I could put bullet points in and I could make it my first box.

Very Personal. The app is brilliant, trying to come up with specific headings to write about can be tedious but Grid takes all the guess workout of it... So far this is my second day using the app, and it has helped me express thoughts, feelings that I would have never explored at any time, its user friendly and I can say, I owe my own personal diary, thanks Grid!! :)

Great app but not pro friendly. It's a great app, loved the grid concept to keep everything simple. Wanted to purchase for lifetime but I was charged as monthly subscription which I'm not at all interested. If you can fix it's great else when can you refund? Happy to use free version rather than a monthly subscription.

Please fix welcome screen bug. I can't even get past the welcome screen (swipe doesn't work). Looks like I would love this app but I can't use it because of this silly bug.

Simplicity @ it’s best. Elegant sophistication and yet it is easy to use. I’ve tried a few journal type diaries and haven’t stuck with them. Grid Diary allows me to journal my day with a few simple questions. I can write as little or as much as I want. Great job, guys!!!

Brilliant app. Makes "journalling" so easy! Sometimes it's hard to think of what to write in a journal and this app makes it easier by asking you questions about your day. If there was an option to have a random question for a tile/box, instead of having the same questions everyday, then I'd buy the pro version for sure.

Just bought the "pro" version and then it moves to a subscription model. Good app, however I bought the app cause I didn't want an ongoing subscription.

Excellent app.. Beautiful design and simple for users. Journaling is critical for mental health and to chronicle our lives gives us a chance to reflect on where we are. Grid diary allows us to do this very well.

Rip-off!. Don’t buy this app. Limited options with the free version so paid for the upgrade, which was expensive in comparison to other apps & I’m still waiting to be supplied the Pro version.

Good start. Loving the concept and the interface so far. Would love to be able to share my diary entry in more ways such as on Facebook (would be great when traveling) and maybe within the app for friends who are also using it. I guess then you'd need to be able to mark which questions you were happy to share.

Quick, beautiful & guilt free. I was struggling with keeping up to journaling each day. This makes it so easy to record little snippets without the pressure of a whole big long post when you are time poor. It has helped me get my anxiety under control as I use it to record gratitude as well.

Great app. I find it really helpful to reflect on my day, and also to read about any things I needed to jot down yesterday. Very good tool for self-reflection, but also planning and keeping track of things like diets and studying. Can't recommend enough for the person who wants to keep their life in order.

Excellent. Would be an idea to add some features to the notification option - ability to add messages to the notifications other than just a push alarm with no info attached to it. Other than that, after a couple more testings I'm planning to purchase pro. Excellent app

Not happy!. My teenage daughter fund this app and loved it, and so asked me to upgrade and get the full version for her. So I did this, and then found out that the upgrade only applies to the device it was bought on - I had used my own device, as I always do, when making the purchase, having no clue of this requirement. Tried twice to contact the ‘support’ service with this app, got no response either time. Waste of my not negligible investment in this app...

This App. Has changed my work life, with the grid layout and pre programmed tiles it allows me to prompt myself to ask the questions I need the information for, I just wish there was a mac version.. But this is an amazing app.. Use it every day the way is summaries the day is great when I attend meetings or review previous days

Have the pro, love it!. It’s amazing

A minimalist's dream. I'm not the kind of person who usually leaves reviews, but I just absolutely LOVE this app. Its simplicity and minimalistic vibe make it such a delight to use. If you appreciate clean aesthetics as well as the practicality of easy and simple journaling, you will definitely fall in love with this app too! Get on it.

Too Simplistic. Failed at the first hurdle. Couldn’t even provide a decent weather description. Had to be either “Sunny” or “Windy”; I need to have “Sunny & Windy” or “Sunny & Calm” as a bare minimum as I was looking at the app as a fishing diary.

LOVE IT. I’m not much of a writer but had always wanted to keep a bullet journal however I continued to fail this endeavour. With Grid Diary, I have been able to keep daily entries with custom questions enhancing my visual and intellectual side on a daily basis. It is great to go back to read and remember certain events or thought which happened. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in keeping a small journal.

Questions are difficult to read. This is s good idea. However, it’s difficult to read the questions. Should have a option to pick between grid and list view. Btw, no communication. I dropped an email to the developer but no response.

Upgrade for existing users doesn't work. Why bother putting the option there if you're not going to honour it?

Put it in it's box.. I really like this app, it makes organising a diary so easy. I label each box and save it as the default template so all I have to do is fill in the box and arch day. For example I have daily events where I list the main thing bullet point style that happened in the day or what I ate where I add a time and what I ate and the box next to that has how I felt throughout the day where I put if I was sluggish or indigestion so I can relate the information. Only thing I wish was different is the sizes of the boxes, I only need small boxes for my eats, where as I need larger boxes for my daily goals.

Does not work. I paid a lifetime subscription for this app, but the app would not let me use the app features that go with that level of subscription. I tried restoring my purchase option a few times, deleting and installing the app multiple times, but nothing again. How do I get a refund?

Exactly what I was looking for. Exceptional. Very simple interface that gets out of the way and let's you work quickly. I was using 5 minute journal but they seem to have abandoned the app. Found this when searching for an alternative and it's so much better. Let's you put in what ever prompts you would like. I'm using a combo of gratitude and productivity/most important tasks for the day ahead etc. Very well put together. Keep up the good work guys. 1 request to the developers, it would be great to have checkboxes/a way to cross things out in there as an option. At the start of the day I say "what would make today great". Would love to come back at the end of the day and say yes I made time to meditate/exercise today etc.

Excellent App. I'm starting a 90 day shred challenge to lean out and also kick an unneeded habit. This diary has all the tools to assist me in obtaining my goals and I'm able to have a deep analysis into my activities and contributions in making my dreams come true. I purchased the pro version as well. Thanks guys!

What’s going on???. I purchased the upgrade to pro. Have been charged for it. Have downloaded it 10 times but every time it fails. I’ve tried over Wi-Fi and data and it just fails. Is this a rip-off?

Highly recommend. Won’t normally write reviews but this app, Grid Diary is amazing. For people that get overwhelmed with journaling, this has customisable questions, a feeling chart as well as a weather chart. Best diary so far

I love this app. This app has changed keeping a journal from a sporadic thing I usually forget to do to an enjoyable everyday reflection. The structured questions (and flexibility to change them) make it even better!

Like the grids a lot. This is really easy to use and writing a few sentences in each grid is really easy compared to coming up with stuff to add to a blank page. Easy to use and personalise, I would recommend this app.

Thanks. This app is great for people over 50 and not used to technology. Thanks for helping by making it easy and fun to use I and others will appreciate it 😄

Great diary. Not usually into diary writing myself but it’s a good way to keep track of my day, emotions and my day to day goings on. Worth paying for the extra features and no ads.

Best journal app out there. I enjoy that the concept this app brings.

Disappointed. I really liked your app, when I purchased it outright. Now you’ve decided to upgrade and rip off your customers with a monthly subscription. Why? I will not be moving off classic and the sooner you delete that pop up within it about upgrading the better.

Great memory keeper and mood booster. Love writing my daily journal entry, it is so easy when the reminder shows up and I can reflect on my day for a few minutes. It's nice to be able to look back on previous entries as well. I really like being able to focus on being grateful for what I have right now, even things like having running water and clothes. This app dishes out a big plate of perspective with sprinkles on top, which I think everyone needs nowadays.

Simply a great app! :D. It's such a cute and simple layout, and I also love how there is a question set and how you can change the question, it really motivates me! It's also easy and great to look back on days and see how you much you've improved or where you've fallen, I really recommend it!

Awesome. At first I thought it wasn't going to be for me, as I wanted a diary to plan my day more so than review it. After I worked out you can customise your questions I was well on my way to a new found diary that serves its purpose just the way I like it. If you like to plan and or review your day then this app is one of the best I have found!

Guides you through journalling. so fantastic if you've always wanted to journal but found organising each day's thoughts too daunting. This app jogs your memory of what happened in the day and helps you to focus on the important stuff too. I also love adding photos in the paid version. 4 stars because Grid Diary desperately needs a Mac app companion! Then it will be perfect :)

Amazing app but crashes too often!!. I have literally just downloaded this app and it is an amazing concept very helpful with prompting and the layout is very user friendly... but, it has crashed 3-4 times in the 10 minutes that I was using it :( please fix this!

The best busy life diary.... At the end of a long day, looking at a blank page can seem so daunting. This is the answer to that. I spent 15 minutes creating a template I liked that asked me important questions I've been trying to integrate into my life for years; questions including "what am I grateful for?" and "name 3 wins" and "what piece of art did I absorb today?"... Note, these are all suggested questions by the makers so they obviously understand why journaling is so helpful. I have since been journalling regularly for 7 whole days- that's amazing! And everyday, I wind down and I just answer one question at a time... And it's been more helpful than anything. Buy it, it's worth it. Extra awesomeness includes: exporting to Evernote and then the choice to OVERRIDE if you reimport the same day. The imports also are assigned to the date you wrote it, not the day you uploaded it so it's always in order. /fangirling

For Classic. Actually I am writing this review to resist the new version Grid Diary 2. The rating is an average. I have chosen Grid Diary Classic for its elegant simplicity and also purchased it only for the syncing feature (along with respect to the app developers). And it WAS so perfect that I’d like to rate 5 for it. Now the new features in the 2nd version are not attractive to me at all, however, it seems that I have to download it for a lifelong functioning use? I will rate 1 if the answer is yes. If there’s any possibility, please please please do consider maintaining the old version which I believe meets more users’ need indeed. After all, life is already complex, so please don’t make it more complicated.

Why don’t more people rave about this!!. this app is incredible, super accessible and easy to add your own grids and information with no limits. the summaries are easy to understand and you can see the week, month and daily notes as well as emoticon, weather, and date laid out on the weekly interface.

very cute. Love it

Really good!. I like it! The only thing I might suggest is to make it look a little more colourful! Especially the night modality, it's a bit too gray, a bit sad! Maybe it would be nice to be able to set one picture as background for the whole app or the whole day, just a blurred image in the back, to make each day look different! For the rest, REALLY GOOD, recommended 👍

Love it!. I've recently gotten back into journaling, and I absolutely love this app! It serves the purpose of keeping me on track with my goals so I can stay accountable to what parts of my day I need to include. I love the visual organizers and the prompts.

Très apprécié. Simple, apparence clean, facilite et démarre l’écriture même quand on manquait de motivation. Les questions ajustables à notre réalité ou sujet qui nous tente d’aborder, c’est génial !

Wish have Mac version. This app is really amazing! I wish this app have Mac version which I can use it between my cell and laptop 👐🏻

Paid for the app only for it to get retired a few months later. App used to work as advertised. Most recent update says that they wont be maintaining it because a new subscription based version is out. In addition, whenever you open it, a banner add for the new app pops up. Disappointed and wont be buying apps from this developer.

Search Within a Specific Question. I'll give 5 stars when the option to search within a specific question is possible. It gets frustrating when you're trying to remember something within a question and all the other keywords in other questions show in results when searching.

Amazing little journal app. It’s simple, minimalist, and everything I could’ve asked for in a journalling app. I like that the pro version isn’t constantly pushed in your face, and is a very reasonable one time price. The different grids really keep me focused and help me track different aspects of my life.

Organized. Great app! Keeps me organized, easy to figure out. Highly recommend

Wow!!!. Simply the greatest app on my iPhone ❤️

Great app. This app has definitely helped me be more appreciative, reflective and mindful everyday. Visually pleasing and effective!

Love it!. Even if I’m not a journalist, this app is really helpful and it tells you when to write in your diary. Also, when you miss a day or two it tells you so you can fill those too! Overall I really love this app and I definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to journal or just have a Diary. P.S. the mood and weather tracker really helps!

Highly recommend paid version. Why I like it, make my own grids, record my daily dairy in six grids. It took me a week to organize my grids, and I mad minor adjustments about a month after. I use it across all devices every day. Only one recommendation,,while this is a dairy I use it to make goals (grid) it would be nice to have a grid that carry forward every day for example my 6 month goals.

So far so good. Good so far

Agitating at times!. I like the notifications and all that stuff it at least give me an option to change when my day ends and not 9pm being the latest. What if it was lights out at 11:45pm? What if I didn’t go to bed until 2am and my day was ending then? Tonight I was playing some sports and at 9pm my watch and phone go off about the end of the day and to write in the journal. If I open it then the badge disappears and I forget about it. Please add this in an update so it doesn’t get more annoying and we can choose a later end date, even after midnight. I’ll give it a 5 star when this is addressed. Thank you.

Almost perfect. This is the only journaling method I’ve ever stuck with consistently. The fill-in-the-grid layout with customizable prompts is perfect for me. Just needs some tweaking, like more app integration and desktop access. I’d really like for this to be a cloud platform for users to access through a personal account. I lost all my previous journals and prompts when I accidentally deleted the app.

Amazing App. I've been using this app for about a month or so and i really like it. I log everyday and it doesn't feel like a chore at all which I really like. I highly recommend downloading it

Pencil support!. Pencil Support?

Needs more emotions!. I really enjoy Grid Diary. I’ve been doing daily entries for months now. I love the customizable templates, and the reminder to write. I just wish it had more emotions to choose from. Only eight? I am much more nuanced and complex than that. What if I’m feeling confused? Or grumpy? Annoyed? Celebratory? Excited? The list goes on and on. Overall it’s great though. I’m still going to use it, even if it does limit me emotionally.

Love it!. I like to start new habits and this has been a great way to track my progress. Love the ability to remind myself to check in on the things that are most important to me. Thanks for the thoughtful design!

Really great idea, still needs some work!. LOVE the idea and the work put into it, definitely my favourite diary app. I like how there are questions for you to answer instead of just boring old writing down what you did that day. but it needs better translation

Only missing desktop input. This app is wonderful for journaling what you choose to, and you select the right prompts for yourself whenever you're ready for a change. I really like that it's on the phone so I can type quietly next to my husband when he's sleeping, but, very often I'd rather type faster earlier in the day at my laptop. There is no facility for that. There's some kind of QR scan that claims to open input from the cloud, but it doesn't work, even though I've emailed support about it. One other drawback is printing your entries. I cobbled together my own complicated printing procedure that uses a word processing feature in software I already owned (Scrivener), called "Compilation," so that I can compile all the entries into one document, and print them with just one command, rather than creating 365 separate print-outs.

MY ADD-ON IDEASS!! :DD. My love for the app:💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💟💟💟 12/15 Purple Hearts I really appreciate this app, it has everything in store for me to express my true emotions and be myself. It has really made me question myself as to when I'm sad, so I can figure what made me sad in the first place, and stuff like that, that would help me have more strength mentally! 😂 My ideas 💡: - have a sliding scale on how good our day was, right when you open the app (like the slider on Instagram!!) - be able to chose the size of the inserted pictures - (last idea) be able to pick a theme/colour/ picture for your grid diary unless it's only on the premium version!! (Sorry if I made a mistake😷) So those are my ideas to make the grid diary better!! PLEASE RESPOND <333

Reflection as a tool for productivity.. The Grid Diary has caused me to reflect on each day; and ultimately has increased my productivity substantially.

Poor delivery. This app even at Pro level does not have a sign in so cannot sync with other devices. I don’t know why it let me pay to upgrade to Pro when it will no longer be supported come June 2019, and there is no way to turn off subscription auto renewal. I’m unhappy with my purchase and don’t see the value.

Bed Daily Journaling App. Have been searing ALL OVER the App Store for a good diary app- and have found the absolute perfect one. Have recommended to everyone. Has helped me journal more electronically, and the built in questions help so much. No doubt purchasing for lifetime was a good idea!!! Please keep up the good work this app is amazing overall

Rude. For only 2 days I was busy and didn’t write a review after that in “notifications”it told me that: “writing in your grid diary take 5 minutes why not just drop everything and take a brief pause”. I thought thats very rude to say to someone. Very bad manners!😡

Constructive Criticism. Love this app it's so useful and gives you an opportunity to reflect in an efficient manner. I gave it 4 stars however because firstly, you should be given the option to purchase specific parts of the app. ie: instead of buying the entire premium, buy a couple features like privacy or unlimited photos. And secondly, you should be able to create custom emotions for each day.

Loving it.... As of now, i don’t think there’s anything i could ask more for.... The app is well designed and too much customizable.

Therapeutic :). This app is so handy. It’s fun to look back on my older entries and see what I did on certain days. I feel as if it keeps me a little bit more “together”. Grid Diary is like a friend who could listen to you rant for five hours.

Super application. Cette app est juste génial. Elle me permet de me pauser pour prendre du temps pour me recentrer sur mes objectifs personnels et professionnels, apprécier ce que j'ai au quotidien et me motiver. Je ne pensais pas qu'elle m'aiderait autant et qu'elle aurait un influence aussi positive.

Useful. This app helped me remembering things I've done. Loving my diary ☺️

It's Okay. I would like to turn off the keyboard sounds.

Le meilleur !. J’adore vraiment et je le recommande ! J’écris dans mon journal à tous les jours. J’y ajoute des photos. Il est personnalisable et la version pro me permet de mettre un code pour le garder à l’abri des curieux 💕.

Crashes now that the new version is out.. I did enjoy the old version until I can’t even open it now.

Apps keeps crashing and loosing data. cannot recognizes my account and i keep re-imputing data. New “versions” is highly disappointing

Grid Diary Pro. Je crois que cette applicaion est très utile et pratique, surtout la version pro. Par contre je conseillerais de porter des amélioration plus significante dans la version payante, par exemple, pouvoir choisir les couleurs de fond, un mot de passe avec des lignes, une combinaison de barres, etc... En d’autre mots, je crois que s’il serait possible de personnaliser un peu plus le journal l’application serait parfaite!

App is good but customer service not good. I’ve used Grid diary in the past and decided to renew my membership again after so long but I’ve been trying to get started with my account for a few weeks now and I’m not getting any response. At this point I’m stuck. Can’t move forward and no sign of refund either. Disappointed. Not sure if I want to continue actually.

Meh. I think the app is alright, I like how you make sections for each question. I think the app would be better if it could you show you a graph of your mood for each month, and if photos weren’t limited for the free version of the app. I prefer Daylio over this tbh, but when I discovered the other app, I was too lazy to move everything over.

Love. Love. What an amazing app. Helps a lot.😍😍😍

Amazing app. I don't have a 9-5 job, so my days are pretty different from one another. This helps me get enough sleep and have good eating habits and keep track of my savings, plus it makes me remember what I did! It's a wonderful habit to have, great app.

Love it :). Simple and useful, love it!

I love this app. I started using grid diary about six months ago as a tracker for my moods because I struggle with mental health and was curious about whether or not I had any "patterns", and I fell in love with it. It's ALMOST perfect, but it DOES have some small issues in my opinion. #1. I love the weekly mood view but I wish when you opened the monthly view, you could see your moods there too without clicking on each individual square. #2. I'd like the option to add more than one mood per day. It's very hard for me to pick one mood that sums up the day sometimes :/ But otherwise I really, really love this app and have already basically recommended it to everyone I know and will continue to recommend!

Love it!. Love it, I use it everyday. The free version is totally functional.

Great. This app is amazing! It’s really useful, but hope you can change the date to the select mode, like can select which year and which month, so the home page only shows the current month, it makes it easier to find the dates.

Super. J'adore cette application! Quoiqu'elle manque de couleur un peu...!

Great app. Just started using this. Really enjoy it

The marketing strategy is poorly performance. The app itself is fine. But the company offer a discount when you subscribe first year, then they still charge you original. This is very bad bahaviour to Lier to consumer. I contacted the customer service, they were not helping at all.

Paid for Pro get nothing. I had paid for the pro version and now they have another app and not upgrading us for free. They are also forcing you to go to the new version and making the old app unfortunately on purpose. Even though we paid for that app to be working for lifetime membership. This needs to be fixed or upgrade or account to pro as we originally paid for this. If nothing is done I will have to take this matter to Apple Store. Colt Hogh

Excellent. This app is great. The design is a fresh new take on journaling and it's really cool.

Useful. So far I'm finding this exercise very rewarding. It feels like exercise for your mental health

Keep writing. It is a really nice app

I love grid diary however. Grid Diary is amazing! However I wish their were more ways to edit fonts, colors, etc. especially on the new iPhone X. The True Tone is so great I wish grid diary capitalized on that. At least give us the option to be creative! You know, colored backgrounds, pretty fonts. Ugh that would make this already amazing app way more amazing

Great app. Definitely helpful to stay positive. I like the customizable questions and the overall layout of this app. Having the options of imputing the weather and mood is a nice touch. It would be nice to change colors or certain questions and possibly integrate a checklist type function. Overall really happy with it though. Cheers to the developers

A modern journaling experience. Tried the free version for a week and was impressed enough to purchase the $5 version. I really like this app, there's lots of little details that are clearly designed, allowing the content to take center stage over the UI. After reading the other reviews here, I'm going to make sure to back up on a regular basis. Thanks for a great app, you're hard work is appreciated! UPDATE: Newer versions of the app are unreliable. Random crashes while typing make it unusable. It's like the dev team just gave up. Thankfully, I can export all my content.

Long time user. I’ve been using the pro version of this app for several years now and am loving it. There have been some problematic glitches is the past but the designers are always working to improve it according to user feedback. I look forward to changes they will make in the future.

Best journaling app. If you love to keep it simple and straightforward then this journaling app is for you. I have the pro edition. It’s beyond worth it. It’s relaxing to use and I look forward to using it. Thanks for making this!

So perfect. I’ve tried so many different types of journals and I’ve never found one that combines them all in one. I record my food, mood, to-dos, and make daily goals and it does it all simply and beautifully.

Non-Journaler turned Journaler!. I’ve always struggled with journaling in the past. I’ve recognized it as a great habit, but always struggled to remember or feel “productive” while journaling. I love, love, love the prompts to help me really “unload” my day, de-stress, and put my mind to bed at the end of the day. I also use this app to begin my day with gratitude and abundance recognition. It’s been a great addition to my daily life.

Love it. I tried many journal apps, and tossed most in under 5 minutes. This is the easiest and best. I can edit the prompts so there are no useless ones. No froo-froo pictures or cutesy sticker clutter. Easy to navigate, easy to use, right on task.

Good but takes up too much space. I've been using Grid Diary for almost a year now. I like the simplicity of the design. However, it takes up too much storage. I write 2-3 times a week and I even put my images into a collage so I'm loading not more than 1 image per entry. Right now it's taking up 3GB of my space. Support is really slow to response (or not at all). They don't provide any solutions to this issue.

GRID DIARY. This is the app I was looking for to simply document my daily events and be able to retrieve them. Pay for the Pro version to eliminate the ads and save your data in the Cloud. Well worth the couple of bucks. Very easy to read but you need to spend some time learning the functions. Do this and you’ll really like this.

Use to be good, but the questions got ruined. This app use to be great, I use it everyday. But then with an update the questions went from being really useful to sounding like bad google translate translations. I don’t understand what they mean half the time and so I can’t answer them 😫. If they had just left it alone. I hope they will give us back the old questions in the next update.

It’s pretty great. I love the personalization. I love the questions. -I wish we were allowed to pick more than one mood/weather for each day. -random fun tid bit: the ability to rearrange our diary display. Including, how much room each question takes up on each row, different shapes, colors or even picture pasting?, stamps, etc.

Great. I am able to keep track of what I do in an easy way! I love grid diary! The questions are perfect and I like how I can set the mood for the day and look back at what I did exactly a year ago! 😌 Works for me :3

Love it. I have tried many journaling and diary apps. Even writing one by hand. This is the best, beautifully designed, I love how the pictures contribute to the color of your post. I siring prompts, I add more. I can’t say enough how great this app is.

Fantastic!!!. I have hunted years for calendars or apps that would record multiple activities or events in an easy to reference manner. The ability to make custom grids of any nature gives it endless possibilities. Quick and easy entry and retrieval.

Beautiful, Compelling Micro-Journaling. I've always wanted to journal regularly and this app has empowered me to make that a reality. I easily created my own grid template based on the values and practices I wish to reflect upon each day. The prompt library is thoughtful, rich with depth. Highly, highly recommend!

What happens now?. I have used this app for several years and have loved it. I even purchased the pro version. Do we just lose all the entries we have in the Classic version or do they convert to the new version? I am willing to try the new version, but I worry about another future change where we might lose our journaling history.

Perfect. This app is just perfect for organizing my thoughts each day. The concept and design is amazing, it is something I've always needed but didn't realize it until using this app. Thank you for creating this!

Love love love. My therapist told me to keep a daily journal to get my thoughts out. This app is amazing. Each day features questions of my choosing that I can customize. I can add extras for days I feel like I have more to say, track moods and weather, and it's been helping tremendously. Highly recommend!

👍🏻💗💯 👍🏻. I have all sorts of ‘diaries’, planners, journals, etc...and I honestly love ❤️ ❤️❤️the fact that it’s snippets of my day and I can include pics. I’ve had this since 2015 and finally decided it was time for my review. No complaints here and recommend this to anyone, as it’s not gender specific. -roXstar77-

Helping me get my life together. I’ve set it up to ask me questions about my daily goals and it helps me track my mood and see how well I’m holding onto goals

Very thoughtful but doesn't allow pictures. This is a nice intuitive design with thoughtful prompts to encourage journaling. However it only allows a max of 9 photos - not per day but in total (!) - which I feel really hampers the diary's usefulness. I paid for the app and I don't regret it but in all honesty I will probably switch to one that allows me at least one photo a day. Other than this (to me) HUGE problem I really do like the app.

Excellent!. There are very few journaling apps out there that are focused, organized, accessible, and able to reference. Definitely worth getting pro, and I’d recommend this to anyone who journals!

For years now. I like this journal app for more ways than I can explain. And I see you have a new app yet I will not spend five dollars a month for it. So warning I will not go to the new app if you stop updating this one. This is my favorite app in the App Store yes it needs work yes you can use an updating. Yet still it’s my favorite

Bored?. Are you bored of diary’s that have the same questions every time you write in it? Are you tired of maybe having NO questions In your diary? If so, get this app! You can customize your grid diary with 8 questions! If your questions aren’t good enough, then just click on them and tipe your own in it! If you use it a lot, then you can get grid diary PRO! P.S, welp why do I sound like a comershal man? P.S.P.S, sorry I can’t spell ;-;

Love this app but missing a feature I’d enjoy. This is such a great way to journal! I went ahead and upgraded to pro so I can make my own template. It’s a very reasonable price for a good feature. However, I wish one of the grids you could choose could be a photo / video for the day! Regardless of missing that feature, thanks developers for such a wonderful app!!

Every day app - Journal/Calander. Pros: No other journal app has the preset template feature plus the calender... the app looks, sounds and feels high quality! Cons: I know the grid square thing is a huge part of the app but it would be nice to have a rectangle feature to see more text as well as for aesthetic purposes.

Just what I've been looking for!!. This app is perfect for me!! It's just what I've been looking for. I love the customizable template, the ease with which you can adjust your questions, the good suggested prompts... This is going to make journaling so much easier for me. Love it!! Thanks!!

Almost Perfect.... I have zero complaints. This app is worth every penny for journal / diary enthusiasts. It works well on my iPhone Xpensive and syncs great with my iPad. Now, if the developers can create a version for the MacBook Pro that synchronizes with the iOS version...

Love this. I recently got this app, and I must say, it's amazing. It really helps me keep my life in order. The only thing I do not love is that you have to pay to have specific things that would normally just be thought of as a needed part in such an app.

Elegant Simple App. I love how easy it is to use this app. The upgrade to Pro is definitely worth it. My daily reminder alert helps me to make sure I never miss a day. The statistics and customizable charts are very helpful. Love it! Thank you!

Great Customizable Diary. I started daily “check-ins” in therapy and found it very helpful to “process” the days events and more importantly my feelings about different things. This app has great sample questions and the ability to change them up to make your own questions.

Zero customer support. Every day I have a red “1” for notification. Every day I open the app and see nothing. I have not changed any settings. I have no idea what this is and I’ve emailed support three times. Each time, I get a reply back that they will be right back in touch. I am afraid I’m getting ready to lose some data, which is what the notification is, but that may not be it. I just want to reach a person to help.

Feedback..... I never have written in a journal before.... I downloaded many other apps but not quite like this..... it’s simple.... it has starting points to chose from or you can do it in your own....thank you for making it simple and encouraging..... I haven’t missed a single day!!!!...

Great for Anxiety. I use this journal to ask myself what do I see/hear/feel/taste & smell as a means of grounding myself in the here and now. I just open it up and write about the moment whenever I feel anxious or panicky. Creating the template was easy and it’s an inviting canvass.

best app. i use this every night before i go to bed. i’ve personalized my grids so it’s the same questions every night. i have two boxes, one asking a positive thing and the other a negative thing that happened for the day and i have those for everyday. i bought the full version because i wanted to change some things like the font and write my own questions, etc. i love how i can post however many pictures i want. it made me start to do a planner in my notes along the same lines and idea. it’s making me starting to journal a little more too. i love this app.

Amazing. I love this app and have used it every day since I got it, for months now. A great way to reflect and keep my sanity, and it’s always fun to look back. For that it’s become one of my favorite apps that I can’t go without! One problem is that it’s a little difficult to manage and find certain days, it would be nice if their were tags you could look under. (And if at all possible, not necessary but would be great, make a way to import videos? Just a thought but would love) Thank you so much!!!

Thoughtful Simple & Useful. I love how they have some suggested thought provoking questions available for the grid. It let’s me further explore what’s happened in my that in a more meaningful way. I appreciate how clean the UX is and highly recommend this journal.

The Best Journalling App!!!😍. This is by far one of the best journalling apps that I've been using for quite some time right now. I love how it features a minimalist way of writing, its simplicity and elegance, and the way how I am able to personalize it in my own way. I hope that this app won't shut down just like all the other apps do because I JUST REALLY LOVE IT. 😊

Simple, effective journaling app. I’ve used Grid Diary almost every day the past three years. I have mine set up to only ask 4 questions. It only takes a few minutes most days, and on important days I spend up to maybe 10 minutes recording my thoughts. Thank you developers for this app!

I love this simple diary.. This is great! It’s a neat and organized way to quickly reflect on my day. I keep trying to journal, but it never works. It’s nice to have the prompts and to be able to change them if there is something specific i do want to write about. Plus - it gently reminds me every day to journal. Love this app!

Must have for everyone.. Customizable, user friendly app. Helps keep track of your life. Comprehensive place to record personal, professional and family activities.

5 years. The app is awesome. Either that or I have a different reason for using it for 5 years straight. It’s had its ups and downs as have I. The only improvement I could ask for is the statistics. I want to see more info about how much I’ve written in here (estimated at 150k words by myself). Please add that and I’ll be a happy camper.

Great but misses two of my needs. This app is great for people who have tried bullet journaling but can't keep it up. I strongly recommend adding the ability to use the Apple Pencil to draw in the tabs. I would also like to create my own moods. As an individual using it to track mental health, I need more options like Anxious, Fatigued, In Pain etc. please please please add these functions for a 5 star review.

Solid application, grateful for the reminders.. This application has been one of the tools I have been using to restructure my life and keep track of my activities, mental states, and progress on personal goals. Clean UI, good functionality, too many annoying reminders to use Grid Journal Pro. I frankly do not see any purpose for upgrading. What value is there in upgrading?

Just perfect. I love having a journal but it usually ends up full of my kids’ drawings and I can’t always access it when the mood strikes. This app is great because its just right in my hands! Adding pictures and memories is easy. I’d like to have more options on the colors of backgrounds and random extra stuff.

No updates in 8 months?!?. This is a great app, just bought the Pro version but now see that there haven’t been any updates in 8 months, so it looks like what we have now is all we’re going to get. Would love to see some more customization abilities like being able to change the color of the question font. Looks like we’re out of luck, though.

Amazing App. This app is fantastic!!! I have had no problems with it thus far and I love the fact that you can customize the prompts for your daily entries. I recently upgraded to pro and would highly recommend it.

Was 5 stars now doesn’t work. The latest release that was to end the prompts to upgrade, now means the app won’t open at all. It starts to open and immediately closes. I’m annoyed this version that I just paid for a couple of weeks ago will no longer be supported. I was loving having specific questions and especially tracking my dreams, but now it won’t even open.

♥︎. I’ve been going through a lot lately and wanted to find something to help aid in getting myself together. this app really helps! I loved it so much that I bought the PRO version, and I never do that for anything

Grid Diary Classic App Customer Service, Editor Notes:

- Compatible with iOS 13. - Bug fixes. --- Grid Diary Classic is now retired Grid Diary was launched in early 2013 as a paid app. We consistently rolled out free updates, feature upgrades, and customer support for over 6 years. In January 2019, Grid Diary 2 was released as a brand-new app. We spent over 2 years on new UI design, rewriting every line of code in Swift, building our own sync server… to create the brand-new Grid Diary. Believe it or not, the more we afraid to die out like the small outstanding product (without a steady income to support everlasting development), the more we work hard and value our users. This app is now renamed to Grid Diary Classic. Users are still able to download it from the App Store. It remains mostly functional, but as software services such as iOS, iCloud, Dropbox change and update, we can no longer keep this legacy app functional. At this time we recommend transitioning off of Grid Diary Classic into Grid Diary 2 on iOS. Grid Diary 2 was made a free download, and allow users to import their data from Grid Diary Classic at no cost. There is a membership upgrade option via subscription for users that want sync, passcode lock, color themes, and many other new features. We are also offering a 6-month free trial for pro users. The new subscription model in Grid Diary 2 allows us to continue updating this single version indefinitely. We will never release a new, separate app, all future updates and upgrades will be part of this app binary. Some of you may be surprised by this change. But it’s the result of a long-term discussion about how to put Grid Diary’s development, and the future of our small team, on a sustainable foundation. We feel this is best for our users and for the future of Grid Diary. We believe that it will be a life company for you and we want to be around as long as you are to store your memories. Please visit https://diary-help.sumi.io/migrate-from-classic/ to learn more,feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Best, Kevin Cao
