Journaling App Reviews

I am always on the look out for a good journaling app. I like that it backs up to drop box, that it saves in dropbox as a word document so that you can edit it later on a computer and that you can share it by email. Only things I wish were a little better, that you could edit the picture as a photo in the saved document and that when you send it, it didnt change the position of the picture.

this app hasnt been updated, Im inclined to say, "Dont!" Dont change a thing. Its a wonderful app, complete with the ability to draw, add pictures, make lists, and syncs perfectly [which is more than I can say for the sync-blips of Day One]. I dont do very many reviews, despite having downloaded hundreds of apps, and Im a journal app junkie. There are a lot of choices, and after giving fair trials to several, I vote this as #1. I am currently using it on iPad Air, iPhone 5c, and iPad Mini. Syncs beautifully between all, so whatever I want to refer to is always with me. Thanks and kudos! Okay, so if I could have one thing [providing it doesnt throw a monkey wrench in a now perfect app!], Id ask for the ability to highlight text Ive written or copied into the app. I love to clip phrases, etc. into my journal, and would like to see those pop on the page. Drawing doesnt work as it writes over the text, not highlight. So Ive scraped the bottom of the barrel in an effort to mention something lacking! Great work, I am 100% happy with "Journaling". Update: Still in love with "Journaling" but one issue that is beginning to stick in my craw: theres something amiss with keyboard response. I type a great deal on several different apps on my ipad, no problem. Except on "Journaling": the biggest problem is keys doubling, for instance: jourrnal. loove. etcc. Words that I type all the time end up looking like that in this app, never or rarely happens in other apps. Im pretty obsessive about accuracy, so this is something I really dislike: I cant make it through a sentence without at least 3 or 4 backspaces to correct. In this paragraph, Ive made 2 corrections. In "Journaling" I would have had to correct at least 7 or 8 times. Ive experimented, and its truly not something Im doing. So Im unhappy about that and wonder if anyone has a similar experience or a suggestion, or if the developer knows of some glitch.

This is a great app for journaling. The only upgrade I would suggest to the company is that they let you go back a day or more to enter info you forgot the day before.

So far it is easy to use. I am still new at it. Havent tried to search or anything. It is easy to record my activities and voice entry works well.

This is the best app of all my I phone apps Should be part of all smart phone pre loaded apps I use this app every day 7 days a week and use it several times each day I also referee cd my journal entries several time a day Wouldnt be with out it

This is a great ap and I used it for months before changing my password and now I cant remember it so I cant get in. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, hoping it would just start over from scratch - I dont care about my old entries, I just want to be able to use it again. If the developer reads this, please let me know how to get in, if I can.

Voice dictation works like a charm. Being able to easily include a photo or doodle is awesome. The interface is simple, no crazy extra complicated b.s. My dream come true for easy iPhone daily diary.

I really wanted to use this app. The sync function works but puts all your notes in a folder in plain text files.

I was once keeping my journals on awesome note but they ditched google sync after three years. I am so glad I found this app. Its everything I am missing in awesome note for my diary. Love the google sync. I hope yall dont ditch it. Thanks for an awesome app.

Love love love this app. There are a couple of small issues nothing that interferes with the functionality of the app, but nuisances. First one, if I minimize the app to do something different while in the middle of typing up an entry, when I maximize the app again it crashes right after I re-enter my passcode. I have to manually swipe up and force close the Journaling app, and reopen it for it to function properly. Second one, when I click on review app from within the app, takes me to the native "music" app on my iPhone ... Err, strange, ok whatever just an extra step I guess click on the App Store and type Journaling.. Ill def remove the two issues mentioned from my review when fixed, this app deserves a high rating with no criticism. But all in all, syncs great, easy to use, lovely clean design. Works great !

I love the idea for my trip to Europe but there isnt a spell checker... Not good! I want my money back please.

This developer deserves credit. The functionality of this app is unique among note and journal apps. Its the only one I could find on the whole App Store that can electronically replace most of the functionality of my beloved Hobo Nichi Techno. Very pleased. A suggestion for use: write daily tasks and goals, mark them when done, or making progress, then flip back through previous days to review. Put notes to yourself in the future, like long term goals. Add a little daily inspiration of choice (I like Simon Sinek notes to inspire). This approach changed my life.

This app is great as long as you dont need to make a journal entry for a past date. You would think you could just double tap a date on the calendar view and immediately go to that date. Nope - you get a message saying there are "no entries" for that date. Then you have to go to the "day view" and scroll thru the dates till you get to the date you want. This is so cumbersome I almost regret purchasing this app. Just downgraded it to 1 star from 3 The glowing reviews must be fake - there is a basic flaw which makes it almost useless - it has two "panes" but there is no syncing between the two. Changing the date in the calendar pane has no effect on the edit pane.

This app is exactly what I was looking for. Quick and easy to use.

So many options, great style, and they continue to update it, which is greatly appreciated.

I kept a journal in Bento for years - then FileMaker stopped supporting that incredible app
