GridDiary

Back in 2018 or 2019 I paid for the lifetime use of the app because I loved the app and wanted to use it as my journal forever. Well, in 2024 instead of continuing to improve and update this version, the company decided to launch a Grid Diary 2 and it does not grandfather a lifetime membership from this (the classic) version. Makes me resent paying for this app and refuse to pay for the new one on principle.

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. <br/>I am afraid I’m getting ready to lose some data, which is what the notification is, but that may not be it. <br/>I just want to reach a person to help.

**UPDATED 7/17/19*** Left my original review below so you’d know how much I loved this app. But now the developers got greedy and decide to flip the bird to everyone that supported them in early development. Now my classic version suddenly doesn’t except my password. I have no way to access the app and it’s no longer supported. So years of entries are lost. Lesson learned: I’ll never rely on a digital journal again. In the meantime, I truly hope the developer has no success with this new version. <br/><br/>This app was a perfect way for me to maintain my New Years resolution last year to be more grateful. I love the clean, beautiful interface and especially the addition of the time stamp. Love how much you can do in the free version but upgraded to pro just because I wanted to support the developer. It's so beautiful to look at and use. Such a great way to journal. I highly recommend this app!!

Love it.

I love how simple this Version is

Very helpful and therapeutic and a release the best i can have anytime

I love your message but you can’t wait for the day

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.
