I’ve tried for years and years to keep a journal. I tried various apps and tried using txt files. This app is so simple I don’t “feel bad” writing a sentence or two and being done. I have a few items to suggest for future updates: 1) offline mode. I was traveling in an area with no wifi / cell service and I wasn’t able to post for those days 2) ability to upload 4 photos. Currently you can only take 4 photos and upload 1 3) ability to add posts more than one day in the past. If I’m in an area with no radio signals my streak is broken.This is a great app and is will worth both the cost and the yearly subscription.

My favorite iPhone app

I am so grateful for little memory. I’ve been using it for eight years and it’s my favorite app for iPhone. It allows me to jot down a thought, anecdote, or snapshot of the day in a simple and easy format. I get to receive this memory years down the road, as a reminder of good times had, struggles overcome, and triumphs big and small. Each “little memory” is a gift for the present. With 2,000+ little memories saved and counting, I can’t think of any other app that fills me with as much gratitude.

Excellent

I really enjoy this app and will probably buy the full version when I can afford it. It's a nice no-pressure way to keep a journal. I would love it if I could go back farther than just yesterday to write a memory. I had a very busy week and never had the energy when I got home to take the few minutes to write anything down, but had an important day (3 days ago) that I would like to remember. As it is now I have no way to update that. I think it would be nice if you could access a calendar basically to select the dates you would like to review. I would highly recommend this app and can say it is one of the best apps I've downloaded, simply for its significance... It actually does something meaningful-certainly is not a time consuming or time wasting app!
