Responsive developers and really decent application. Well worth the premium features too. Would like to see self-hosted and OneDrive etc. as an alternative to Dropbox which the developer assures me is in the works. Such an easy to use application with great features such as disabling your diary entries having a title and so forth makes for a very personalised application on web and device. No complaints. Also - privacy policy is very clear and secure.
It's a one-time purchase and because it uses your own cloud (Dropbox) there's no assumption that it'll become a subscription service but I do worry that may become the case in the future as seems to happen with all great app/web hybrids. Who knows though? Hopefully everything stays consistent!
Unfortunately I spoke too soon. Diaro operates on a subscription service.
Typical freemium app: if you want to export your data, you need to pay for the "pro" version. Diaro used to offer one-time payment, now it is just another subscription hell.
Diaro is basically a TXT writer with some nice addition such as calendar view and tags. No rich text formatting, no insert pictures in-line. Everything you write with Diaro will be stored in an unreadable format. Pictures are not, and corresponding pictures don't automatically get deleted if you delete any entries that has pictures in it. If something happens to Diaro, you can't get your diary back.
Diaro requires linking with your Dropbox account. On Android/iOS, you can use Diaro app locally (app database! no saving with raw files).
Syncing with Dropbox doesn't feel seamless.
Fast, and supports drawings, geo-location, tags, read-aloud, a calendar view, a map view, templates, 17 fonts, "on this day" flashback, and 35+ languages

I've had this app for years on different devices. I love it and write in it everyday, helps to keep a record of everything from my day that I need to keep.
