Momento Classic App Reviews

I love this app, its so nice to be able to write down some thoughts you dont have to worry about others stumbling into. Mental freedom is precious. Id like to see a general note section that isnt tied to a date though. A place I can write general ideas/thoughts. Keep up he good work.

This is a great app for those like me who want to keep track of great days or just the crazy, cute things kids say. I would love to journal but simply dont have the energy or time. Moments makes it easy and simple to quickly wrote about the great times had, add a picture and get back to life. I especially like that if I dont have time to write in the moment I can snap a picture and when I go in to add my story about the adventure the app asks if I want to change the date of the entry to when the photo was taken. The only thing I wish it did was link to my mac mini so I could use some of the text from the entries in photo books I put together.

Love this app!

Moments Classic has been one of my favorite apps for the past 7 years. Flexible and intuitive, it made cataloging my travels, my social media postings, and just life in general much much easier. Then recently, they created a brand new version, Momento 3. As someone used to journaling a certain way, knowing what I could do with the app and what I couldn’t do, Momento 3 just did not do it for me: nowhere near the functionality as the classic version! Fine, others starting out may want the flashier interface of Momento 3 and never know what functionality they are missing. I can still use this version and be happy, or so I thought. But for some reason, features were crippled in the Momento Classic version and the app was almost immediately abandoned from a support perspective. It’s a shame that the long time users are given the choice of migrating to a pretty-much brand new app that doesn’t do half of what the current app does, or choose to continue down the eventual dead end of this app. I may just move to the DayOne app and start anew, because the awful, awful Momento 3 is not an option.

While I dont use it every day I love that it sends me reminders every night at 8 PM. QUICK AND EASY ENTRIES ARE JUST ENOUGH.

This original version of Momento is so vastly superior to the new version 3.0, I strongly recommend you continue to use this version until they fix the new one. The lack of a calendar view and the virtually bizarre overuse of graphic images in the new version makes it unusable. This version of Momento is simply superb as a journal or diary. Lets hope the new one catches up soon. I strongly urge the developers to maintain this older version and I will gladly pay to keep it up to date. It is simply that superior to all other journals.

Ya know, I believe I like the simplicity of the Classic app better than the new app!

Nothing amazing. Could add Touch ID.

Love this app, theyve made it so nice to look at and they keep updating the coolness! Thank you!

This journal app is the best one Ive come across. Its very nice-looking and has a ton of functionality. I like the pop-up notifications asking me questions to journal about, and I like that "moments" are sorted into days and you can write tags to sort through posts.

11-15 Supplemental: *** I love Momento and Ive even volunteered as a beta tester for this app. In many ways, its been an integral part of my daily life since 2010. However, Im disappointed in the companys decision to abandon this app in the manner that they have chosen. Momento has been such a large enough part of my daily life that I would happily support the developer financially in a variety of ways, including new (as in a new concept, not simply a new update/version thats made into a new app) and innovative products. Another profitable alternative lies within the in-app purchase (although my least favorite for some similar reasons), if done correctly and sparingly. Im not convinced that this decision was as nefarious as many reviews make it out to be, but this questionable move on the part of the developer certainly provides an opening for some speculation on this companys ethics and motivations. Lots of developers have managed to create newer, independent, paid apps in a manner that didnt call their standards of practice into question. I think the difference here is that: 1. This company has provided a long term service in the form of an app that they are now abandoning completely. This decision has effectively cut them off from a huge portion of their loyal and longtime customers, which seems extremely shortsighted (and feels very shady and greedy to those aforementioned customers). 2. They are offering this "Classic," version for free, while creating a newer, paid version. This, in and of itself is fine, but they have further estranged themselves from their loyal base by basically making us feel "ripped off," by having to pay twice for an app that newer (non-loyal) customers get to enjoy for free! This issue could have been significantly helped by at least providing an incentive or a discount for those of us that have invested in this company - most of us for several years now. A company should work to show their customers that loyalty pays off rather than making it feel like a punishment. Obviously, the financial investments for users of this app are very small, almost insignificant in the grand scheme of things. However, the actions of the Momento developers feel a bit like a betrayal, thus making the two or three dollars already invested worth a lot more in a relative sense. Its not about the three dollars for me to buy the newer, "Momento 3." Its about my inability to trust that the developer wont decide to repeat this action in a couple years and abandon yet another app that I have grown very attached to. This app has taken on a life of its own in my world. I have, in a way, created a personal attachment that makes the app "more than the sum of its parts." Its my journal! It has feelings, media, memories, and all the things that make up my life. What these developers have failed to acknowledge, is that by abandoning this program, they are insulting that which has become sacred to many of us over the years. Its not just your typical app, it is extremely personal and important to many of us. I think the developers have underestimated the emotive power behind their own app. Because of this, I am not planning on purchasing the newer version at this time. I need to feel like I can trust the company backing this particular type of app more than any other, and this company has not demonstrated the transparency and loyalty appreciation that I had been used to from them in the past. In summary, I think this is the worst marketing decision they could have made. (Updated 11/29/15) Respectfully, One of your beta testers - DAH

I have been using this app for about four months now, and I love it. I love the fact that I can write my thoughts wherever I am and add pictures, post my thoughts & remind myself when to write - trying to develop a writing routine. Oh! And I can lock it, I like the security. For me there are no cons.

I love it, Im obsessed with documenting my daily activities. I even find myself going back to see what I did on a certain day if needed. When I changed phones I was very worried about my diary being transferred cause I swear by my writings.

This helps me to document my life without lugging around an actual diary. Convenient and fun and I love that I can put a security code on to keep out the looky loos!!

Works great and has a super tidy interface. Love it!

I love this app. I use it daily and have had no issues with it.

Ive been using this app since December 2010 and loving every new updates and features they added. Sadly this is the last version and I refuse to upgrade (as in buy again!) unless its universal (come on guys, its 2016 already.) For now, Im good with classic.

I op to keep the older version of Moto. (Thats my journals name). The features he offers far out way the newer version. Thank you.

Love Momento so much!

I have used this for years. I used it for journaling but switched to DayOne. Then I used it for tracking check-ins and social networks. I tried to like the new Momento 3 but it just doesnt work the same. I like to export my files weekly to text files. I cant do that with Momento 3. I worry about when this is no longer supported. Now that DayOne has an IFTT channel, I might have a new solution.
