The researchers developed E-Diary: A Personal Diary with Lock Mobile Application is an application that resembles closely to a physical diary with better features to overcome physical problems and such. Considering that in our generation nowadays, expressive writing in a physical diary or personal journal may not be favorable in our current lifestyle.

The integration of the mobile application and the back-end server needed to satisfy the user by validated test cases to check if the mobile application and back-end server was worked integrated properly. The researchers developed and tested the functionality, reliability, compatibility, security, and operability of the mobile application and can downloaded it free in Google Play.
