Diaro App for Android Review
Keeping a personal journal gives you a better perspective of things, both in good and bad times. While an app like Evernote is great to jolt down your innermost thoughts, sticking your personal feelings next to a grocery list make for a weird juxtaposition. You should rather have a separate app for your personal journal, and if you’ve not found the perfect one yet, try Diaro app for Android. The app is designed to record activities, experiences, thoughts and ideas throughout your day and sync data across all devices you use. You can get Diaro Android app for free from Google Play Store.
Diaro App Features

You can tap on the note on screen to read more about the app. There is no means to make text bold or add links. Further, Diaro gives lots of priority to one’s privacy. Your notes are not stored in a cloud service. Instead, everything is saved in device memory. Also, you can password protect your notes anytime. Writing on Diaro is easy. But there is no full screen option. There is some clutter around your writing space that includes the tool bar and date and subject line. Also, there is no Markdown support. If you manage to get used to the space crunch, the app got some real good features that’ll make you sit and take notice.
Diaro Android app got powerful fun tagging/categorizing features so that you won’t have trouble finding an old article of yours in the future. To tag a journal, simply tap the ‘tag’ icon on top toolbar and pick your tag. It is also easy to create your own tags. Categories, on the other hand, are color coded. One note can have only one category. The tags and categories together give you a fine grained method to classify your thoughts. Further, you can drag categories around to reorder them. The calendar view provides a quick view of when your entries were made. Diaro is also social network integrated. You can share your journals via Twitter, Facebook or email.
Conclusion
If Diaro’s developers could have made the experience of writing notes as pleasant as finding and reading them later on, it would have been one of the best apps in its genre in iTunes. Even with the cramped UI, it is easy to tag/categorize your notes, share it via SNS, or skip from one note to the other. Search feature and multi language support comes handy. To sum it up, if you can get past the distracting writing experience, Diaro app for Android can be a great tool to pen your innermost thoughts.
