Memoires: the Diary

I have used this app to chronicle key events for at least 2 years, and it has been great. But since I upgraded my device using kit kat, I have not been able to back it up with Google. Which for me is so important to back up off my device should it be lost, damaged or stolen. This app now fails to connect to Google Drive. I saved as a Google Doc and a Spreadsheet. Now I have to save to my SD card only and transfer manually to Google to preserve them. Fix this, you have a 5 star app if backup works again.

As far as journaling apps go, this is definitely the best one I've tried so far. I absolutely love the follow-up option! I did have a bit of trouble getting the Google sync to work, turns out you have to go to the import/export section to start the process, not the preferences. Once I found it though, the process was very simple! If love to see a few more themes added to this app!

really nicely made app, better than most apps out there right now.. Update on 7 Jan 2016 I saw my old review for this diary that I wrote back in 2012. This app was pretty good with 2012 standards but the last update it got was in 2014, I think it's good time for a bit of redesign according to latest android guidelines. But it's a free app, so can't ask for much. But I hope the app gets updated. After all, it's still the best freaking app for journaling.

1. Rich text editor. 2. A calendar: the calendar shows how many diary entries you have for each day. 3. Yes, it lets you write more than one entry for each day. 4. An emoticon for each diary entry. 5. Flow of thoughts feature, where you can follow up an entry and it will be saved in another list. Very useful for me 6. Password protected 7. Nice interface. DOWNSIDE: No smileys when you write an entry (but with all the good features, i don't mind the lack of smileys anymore) THANK YOU!!! I SUPER LOVE IT!

I started using it to record activities on vacation. It is really great for that. I would have given 5 stars if the backup worked properly. I was not able to save a backup directly to Dropbox or the SD card. It only seems to save locally to the device. To transfer to another device, I copied the backup file to Google Drive and copied it to the Backup/Memoires folder on my other device and then used Restore in Import/Export

Multiple categories, backup, restore, rich text editing, password protection, export, etc. I support Viktor by buying the contact app. Only hope Victor continues to support this app. Most recent update if this app was January 2014. Will pay if that's what it takes for the Victor to continue update and improve this app. 2016-Dec: I believe this app is abandoned. Sorry to see Victor left. I am looking for another app that can import my 1GB backup of text, images, recordings, etc. Any one know such app?

I like it except for a few things they need to fix...when u share the memoirs to facebook....the pics dont show up properly on FB even when u took the pic vertical it dont follow through on facebook even u already rotate it. It also dont give u an option to put what u wrote on memoirs without having to re-type it all over again...there should be copy paste option even after u save it when u share, at least. Also dont give option to put a pic that came from your gallery.

Works great and does everything I was looking for in a journal app. After a few days of using I have one small wish: today I started writing a note, then had to do something else and switched to another app. A few hours later got back to Memoirs, to find that the entered text was gone. An auto save option would be fantastic!

I think this needs a serious update on the layout or at least an option to change layouts to different backgrounds or something. Also more emoticons would be really nice. The save button should be on the right side of the screen in because that's where most people's thumb is. I've accidentally deleted whole entries because the delete button is on the right side of the screen.

The pics somehow takes a long time to load unlike before. Please bring back the option to rotate the pics right or left. The simplest and classiest diary there is. It manages to put everything I need together without cramping up the interface. Thank you for straightening out the pics instead of twisting them like before.

♥ I think for the backup, I suggest saving on the sd card, then attaching that to email to yourself. Or just use the dropbox. And don't forget to test it out first. Long term is more important. If still doesn't work, export to .rtf every now and then, and encrypt that .rtf for privacy. ♥ There's no multiple image add using the app, but if you first open the android 'gallery' > select multiple images > Option: Share > Memoires , and now, just write down to your diary. Lol, 'cos I was experimenting a lot.

I love this app. It is so easy to use. I do wish it had 2 things though. (1) An "Undo" option button; and (2) ask the question "do you really want to delete or change or any changes you're doing"!!! I have had several times that I have hit the wrong button and deleted some of my entry and couldn't get it back; and I couldn't remember what I had written. :)

I used this app regularly and I loved it because it syncs across all my android devices. The best part is it's free! Google made some changes and now you can't sync across devices. I sent developer 2 emails and haven't gotten a response.

This is my favorite Android diary program, and I had used it for a two years beautifully. Unfortunately, Google just force-deprecated some OAuth protocol bits, so this will no longer sync up to Google Drive. The developer hasn't responded to email, and I've been forced to transition to another diary program that syncs between my devices still.

I lile this app although the major downside is that i cannot access my diary from different devices. Ive tried putting this app on both devices and saving to Google but none of my data is picked up on the second device. What happens if my tablet is stolen or if i wanted to access my memoirs from somewhere else. I may have to delete this and transfer my memoir entries onto a different app.

I think this is the best diary app in PlayStore. "Follow Up" feature is genuinley unique. But the interface is too old looking. Please, please update and get "Lolipop" feel, something like Journal (by Journey) app has. And I can't obtain GPS location using wifi. Thanks.

Had been looking for something to use as a diary for a up and coming trip. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much. Now have updated to a Nexus 10 android 4.4.2, cannot use camera hangs black screen. This is a shame as used the app previously with no problem on a very cheap tablet.

this is a great app, but it looks like it's no longer supported. over time some features have degraded like Google sync. and some android versions will not import images from backup. i still use it heavily, as I've never found a better looking app with intuitive design.

I used to love this app. Now it has bugs so it won't sync with Google Drive and it doesn't look like they are going to be fixed. From the app forum it looks like this app is abandoned. BEWARE!!! I switched to 'Journey' and there is a method to transfer your entries over (photos have to be done manually)

Great app and ideas. Thank you for offering diary app without ads. I can play a game with ads. But a diary shouldn't come with ads, which is the reason I reject other diary apps. I like your model: selling extra features instead of showing ads. Thank you. I don't really need extra widgets, but if I do, I'll definitely buy them.

Backup doesn't work, and boom goes your data I backed up prior to a factory reset on the phone -- specified backup to SD card. Memoires said "OK, we're all good." Like a fool I believed it. Go to restore and the data is nowhere to be found. Oh, and the "please contact support before rating"? There IS no information for contacting support. THIS APP SUCKS!!!!!

I love this app. Add photo and sharing on other app is best features. Must download. But can you plz tell, how can I save my all data. Is Updating app cause all memory data lost?

Please make a way that I can import a back up from my dropbox. I got a new phone and lost everything. The option to sync with Google always fails so there really is no solid way to back up the files. ALWAYS HAVE IMPORTANT NOTES SAVED SOMEWHERE BESIDES MEMOIRES!

Used this app for more then a year worked good and has great features. However it did an update and now all my notes... it was set to back up however back up is not to be found. Very disappointed. Not worth it. I downloaded this app because I really wanted a diary.

For some reasons, the sync to google account kept being fail. So I had to back up all the journals to sd card on the old phone, then send the zipped file to the new one via Bluetooth. After that, restored the file from the sd card of the new phone, of which the file was located in download folder. It showed backup folder at first, but kept hitting the Back button, and it showed other folders in sd card, then chose download folder to get zipped file.

Had this for ages on my phone, but recently I used this on holiday and left my written diary behind thinking I could easily just print off my entries and stick into my diary. Wrong, you can print if you sent it to yourself as an email but it doesn't show where you were when you wrote it and if you've included photos they don't come up either. There needs to be a direct print option.

I do really like this app, especially the feature where it saves the moon phase and the weather for the area because that saves me the trouble of putting it in myself Kama which a lot of people do if they're doing any kind of Agriculture or gardening. The only criticism I have is that I can't find a way to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit anywhere in the settings. Otherwise, it's a pretty copacetic app.

Tried numerous Diary apps, this is the best app. What concerns me is the app has not been updated since February 2014. What happened to the developer/ owner? Please update.... I cannot find another diary app that I like!

after reading another person's poor review I decided to go with a different one. I was actually torn between this and another popular journal app until I read the support for this one sucks. That's a deal breaker for me bc poor support REALLY SUCKS, especially for an app most people use so frequently. I docked two stars for even having to write this review and comment on the importance of good support... Also it was having issues syncing with Drive, just fyi.

Just downloaded this app last night been playing with it here and there find it is lacking in some functions like syncing with multiple accounts... also sharing data with other apps should have a list of apps that can be shared it's nice to keep important events and things you really don't want to forget about... Other wise a basic functioning app....

Months of entries, gone. Sync to google wouldn't work, so i used export to sdcard, it said it selected my external but it didnt and i lost it all in a factory reset, tested restore even prior. Prayed my titanium backup save would work, but decryption failed.

Simplistic and nice, although it sucks that it can't sync; I lost all my entries when my phone updated, so I'm reinstalling again, just cause I love it.

Lost everything who was on my app. It was important and a lot of research.. They EVEN don't ANSWER when writting...

Almost for a year now. App development team has not worked out issues regarding syncing with google account. I loved that feature in fact that is what sold this app. Now that development team gave up on this app. Also does not care about its users, nor does it care about updating it to comply with Google. Development team needs to fix priorities and remember if it wasn't for us it wouldn't have got so popular. Very sad to see this app suck now. Very disappointed. It will be a year since I've used n 2 months

The biggest complaint I have is that I cannot edit tags since an update. I used to be able to delete the tags however now I cannot. I removed the software and reinstalled it, no luck. I do not know if this is a software error or omission by the programmer, either way it is annoying. Nice app otherwise.

Sick of loosing recordings!!!!! Sick of seeing "Synchronization with Google Drive in progress" then "Memoires Gaurd authorization failed with Google Drive ". More than a year with the issue no satisfaction from the slack developer and that's unfortunate because I truly liked the features of the app over most apps. I will be un-installing as soon I click submit for this review. Good app if you don't need to sync to Google Drive or don't mind potentially Losing recordings for no reason, it happens too! -1☆

Great diary app with a simple to nice look. However the sync is difficult to understand and I would like to pay for ad free or enhanced features. Still a good app. Just hope it stays around.

After downloading and uninstalling numerous apps, I've finally found your GREAT app. I have never reviewed and commented about anything until now. I felt compelled to tell everyone that this is the BEST Diary/Journal app there is. And It's free and can be utilized offline. Mahalo Nui Loa...(Thank You Very Much)

Bought the widget just to "donate." Would also like some more emotions, go to Allthecooks, they have some great ones. Keep up the good work!

Great app...I chose it for the sync with Google docs/drive....except the sync DOES NOT WORK NOW!! All Google says is something about AuthSub not working with third party authorization. Please fix the app so that I can be able to have a doc that I can either print out or have an e-version of my journal (ie PDF, doc, txt, etc)
