CNET Editors' review
Many companies produce journal software today, but it's rare to get a program with only a few disadvantages. But with Chrysanth NETime Diary, the install and uninstall procedures run quickly with no side effects, and the user interface is clear, simple, and intuitive. It's rare to have all a program's features at one's fingertips, especially when the graphics are so pleasing and beautiful. Whatever you plan to do--write a new diary entry, add photos to your albums, search your journal, or look for an update--hit the New button and select the required task.
All functions have advanced features, such as a spelling checker, emoticons, and file attachments for your diaries, a well-designed photo gallery with zooming and a full-screen mode, and advanced searching. You can export you records in different formats. Despite the bundled collection of very poor mood icons, you can add your own. The program is very light, doesn't eat your memory, and flies right. Most people seeking good journal software will be glad to use NETime Diary.
