Great update

The new Grid diary is great 👍

I like all the new features, and it's well priced (although subscriptions are plenty with iOS apps these days).

The UI is familiar but has many new additions.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your feedback. We really appreciate that! By adding all these new features and dimensions and customizable elements, we truly hope that Grid Diary can become your personalized diary system. Hope you have a great journey with Grid Diary!

Can’t even get past the “swipe to start” for some reason.

Disappointed

I downloaded this app and it wouldn’t even let me do anything, I would click on a date to add something and it would crash on me. I tried doing it more then once.
I’m extremely disappointed as it looked like an a amazing app.

Response from developer

We're truly sorry for the inconvenience. Could you please try to update to the latest version (1.4.8) and try again? We fixed it and submitted the updates as soon as we realized the issue. Sorry again about it and thanks so much for your patience and understanding.

So much better than Day One or anything else

This is the only journaling app you’ll ever need. It’s stable and downright beautiful. I’ve been using it for about four months and could not be happier.

Basically just classic

This is basically just classic with a different look because you have to have a membership to do any of the things advertised for the new app

Best journaling app

Believe me, I’ve tried many journaling apps. This one is by far the best. The layout is amazing. It’s simple, effective, and super easy to use. Every night, I select a couple of questions to answer and record my thoughts down into the boxes. It really makes me reflect on what happened. One thing, however, I think it would by better if every day, you got a random assortment of questions. This makes it more exciting to see what you have next, and let’s you think even deeper. You can, however, change the question if you don’t like it.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Besides choosing the questions from our prompt library, you can also create and add your own questions in the library. Hope you have a great journey with Grid Diary!

Most Important Journal App + Export to PDF

This is the absolute best journaling App for iOS. I’ve tried several in the past. The hardest part about keeping a journal is know what to write. This app makes it easy by suggesting questions to answer about your day, week, current events, what you have learned, or what is on your mind. I LOVE that I can customize my own template of questions. I LOVE that all of the questions are arranged in a “Grid” and I can answer all, one or none of them. Some of the custom questions I have created for my journal include:

Where did I see the hand of God in my life today?
What am I currently praying for?
Who needed a little extra attention or love today? What can I do for that person tomorrow?
What did I learn today?
What problems did I encounter today and how did I solve them?

As the cherry on top, you can easily export your entries into a PDF, which turns into a beautiful document. Using this app helped me to keep a more consistent journal than any other method I’ve tried.

A great app that keeps getting better.

This is a great journal app if you are looking for self care or self discovery. The prompts always help get my thoughts flowing. Or if I only have a few moments, provide a quick way to journal quickly without losing the habit.

Unique, Customizable, Game-Changing App!!!

I’m only able to edit the review I have already made, but in doing so, I am “upping” my rating to 5 stars. There is truly no comparable application anywhere that even approaches the ease of use, abundant (and not bloated) features, with the number of customization tools available as Grid Diary 2! Anyone who uses this app can surely tell that there is a lot of love and care in its design, maintenance, and extension...I talk this app up to everyone I know who would be interested. There is literally simply nothing like it out there, and it truly is a game changer. 2 minor features I’d still love to see:
- In the “Timeline” context, using the filter function, the weather stickers and emoji stickers are not multi-select, while the flags are. I would think that if a user wanted to select all entries where they were either upset OR sad OR mad, they would be able to do so.
- A desktop version of the application and cross platform synch would be awesome as well. :)
All in all, this is a great app...well worth the meager price of subscription, and I certainly appreciate your efforts in delivering this kind of quality mobile application. It is truly a credit to your creativity, care, and tenacity to be able to produce something this amazing!

Thanks!!!

I use this app at least 4 times a day

I use this app as a daily food, blood sugar and medication record. My Dr. Loves it.
It’s the best way I have found to keep an accurate, on hand log book. I love that you can modify the cells to fit your needs.
I would recommend this to any diabetic.
