Looked promising, but no
The app looked promising. The documentation says you can use w/Google Drive. So, I upgraded. As soon as I upgraded, I learned that the upgraded features don't work when you're using Google Drive as your backup. You must use their cloud service as your backup to use the upgraded features. Immediately I reached out to support and requested a refund. Denied. The interactions with the support rep showed me clearly that they don't actually care about customers.

Excellent journal app!
Love being able to put in photos and it also asks if you want your journal date and time to be matched to the photo’s date and time stamp.
I like being able to generate a PDF of the journal entries so you can email it to yourself, etc., and just have a copy outside of the app. Because sometimes if everything is only contained in an app, what if something happens with the app and it gets deleted or stops operating? You’d lose all your journal entries if they can only stay inside the app.

Thank you so much for your kind words!
You can not journal on it with focus
Even after purchasing for $25 as one time app they still persist me to buy the membership every 15 minutes through in app popups and reminders, these app developers became such greedy that it makes me sick.
Fantastic Journal App
I love this app. It is absolutely fantastic and honestly I can't give any reason why not to use it.
With that said I do think that the journey cloud is super limited. The web app is super nice but you can really only use the features if you connect to the journey cloud storage. However, the cloud storage has limited space and journal entries so the web app version is very limiting.
There is a workaround the the bove issue, that is you can just download the app on any device rather than use the web app and connect it to google drive and you are able to do everything that the web app didn't let you do without the cloud storage.

Thank you so much for the kind feedback.
Fit for purpose
Has worked for me for the past two years. Makes journalling a lot easier. Integration of pictures is a big plus for me.

Thank you so much for the review!
Not worth it
I've had a frustrating experience with this app for a few years now. I started journeling on the free version to see if I wanted to eventually upgrade. I entered 20 or so times and decided to export my entries to make sure I have a copy. For this feature you must pay (you can basically say this for any of the functional features). After lots of research, and waiting for a person to chat with that never arrived (despite being during the so called hours of opperation), I realized I could export my entries one at a time. They intentionally make it hard so that you must upgrade, but I would not give them the privelage. I mannually exported each one and am deleting this app. This is the Spirit Airlines of journal app LOL. Want to add your location? You must pay. Export entries? You must pay. Oh, you want to use Google as your cloud? Nope. Want to move your entries from Google to their cloud? You must download your entries (one at a time mind you) to your computer THEN upload them back to their server. Shouldn't it be easy to do it in the app? Yes. Do they offer this? No. I really don't see the difference in the app and entering doc files into google drive in a folder called "journal entries." Please don't give you money to this company.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Automatic migration will be part of our to-do features this year. The current method of migrating to another cloud services is via through export/import. Once again, thank you for your patience and hope to seek your kind understanding.
Good, basic functionality
I have been trialing Journey for a week or so now and have found it easy to use with good, basic functionality. It suits my needs for a morning journal.

Thank you so much for the review!
I hate you now
YEARS OF JOURNAL ENTRIES GONE. After the update everything is gone. A huge port of my life journaled is now all gone. I loved this app when I found it years ago. Now I hate these people for what they have done.
Love Journey
Journey has been a companion for several years now. It is place where my thoughts, musings, reflections and notes are all penned.
Love this journaling app!
Really easy to use. The tagging system is fantastic. And the iphone app is really good.
