I am a big fan of diary apps, but until recently it has been hard to find any that are worth even downloading let alone buying. The best I had used to date from DayNotez from Natara on Palm OS which allowed the inclusion of photos with each daily entry for that special personal touch, but on the other platforms it is very hit and miss. I searched for a decent BlackBerry diary app and there was nothing of note and under Windows Mobile the situation is the same, but Momento for the iPhone / iPod Touch is a completely different story.
Momento is about as good as it gets in terms of ease of use, design and value for money and immediately struck me as being a well crafted piece of programming that succeeds in every aim that it has. It manages to bring together the quickness required when adding a daily entry and also the ability to import up to 8 photos per day to truly remember the moment. The interface feels like a diary, acts like a diary and in essence is a diary, but the killer feature is the integration with social networking sites which will automatically keep a history of your Tweets, Facebook updates, Flickr additions and even your Last.fm loved tracks. The simplicity of setting up each feed is as you would want it and you just let the app do the rest for you.
Twitter and Facebook can be a pain to scroll through, but with Momento you get an automated history of what you have shared with the world sensitively added to each day’s events. This is a short review because there is not much else I can say. It takes a couple of minutes to setup, but will potentially be with you for months to come. A simply superb mobile app.
The best diary app ever was the sony th55 write anywhere one IMO. I do like the look of this though.
