Thank you thank you thank you!!

This is exactly what I was looking for 😍

I’m going to try the free version first but I may well upgrade to the premium as I like the sound of some of the benefits!

Thank you for creating this. Made my day!

my favourite journal app

this is the best one out of the many i’ve tried over the years. has many features without going through a pay wall.

Journaling made convenient

This app has provided a convenient way for me to do daily journaling for my different interests. I have daily templates, weekly templates, and yearly templates. I also like the different options I can put on a journal page: questions, checklists, banners, etc. It’s not perfect but it’s good enough for a free resource.

Excellent journal app

In was very tired of habit tracker and journal apps that are over-stuffed and over-constraining.

This app is elegant, simple, and makes it very easy to journalthe things you actually care about. Thank you for making it!

Brilliant

Been searching for an app like this for a long time. Fantastic tool that allows you to reflect with custom made questions. The stats feature then allows you to review your progress and make the tweaks required for ongoing personal development. Love it.

In Love with the app… I have a suggestion:

This was the most useful app I ever bought for productivity.

as for my suggestion:
- I pay a reasonable premium to have the ability to star a section of the journals to be displayed on a downloadable vertical document with dates.
- having a family option could really push your mission to groups that can create systems of accountability for each other.

Also, thanks for making this app. Nothing out there even comes close!

Just about perfect!

I've only been using this app for a week or so, but already it's been pretty amazing. Here are a few things I love about it:

- I can make templates, but better yet while I'm filling one out, I can edit it and it updates the template I'm currently using live vs having to flip back and forth between tweaking my template and adding my entry (very easy to build your templates as you journal)
- Backup (on free)
- Simple interface that stays out of your way
- No ads or anything like that in your way
- You can add images to build a good memory
- You can tell the author probably uses it themselves (very high quality)
- Export as PDF (paid) is why I would pay for it (backup and portability if the app goes under is very important)

Here are some things I think need improvement:
- Sometimes export (as image) doesn't work (but I'm gonna pay for PDF)
- The skinny view is annoying, go full width
- When answering questions return should start a new answer
- Allow questions to be numbered somehow
- Sometimes when live editing a template the text screws up the UI (favorite feature though)
- When adding an image let me take a picture (vs having to switch to camera app)

But how templates work alone in this app and that it's such high quality alone give this app a place on my home screen.

Response from developer

Thank you for this amazingly detailed positive review! Yes I do use this journal myself and so I do try to make it a certain quality :) All your suggestions sound great. Will keep it on the backlog and work through them over future updates. Thanks for the feedback. This is helpful and very much appreciated! Update: The option to take a picture via the app and line numbers for questions has been added!

It does not sinc

I loved it for being totally customizable so I bought the premium, but the journals on my iPhone do not appear on my iPad.

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for purchasing premium. Please make sure you have enabled sync via the app Settings. Hope this helps. Sorry if this was not clear. You can also feel free send an email to ios.help@customjournalapp.com . More updates are coming soon :)

Love it

Love it, finally a journal where I can make my own prompts and you can make fit your own style. I’ve been looking for something like this for ages thanks so much. My only issue is that the homescreen widget isn’t really a style I like but I guess that’s personal preference and it’s not a big deal.

Response from developer

Happy to hear you love the app! I assume you mean the home screen icon and not home screen widget since there is no home screen widget for this app yet. If so then good news it’s been updated. Hope you enjoy!

Totally customizable

This app is very simple and effective. I love how customizable everything is. It is missing a few basic features of other common journaling apps, but the customization aspect makes this app stand out above others. The developer also responds very quickly to feedback and seems to have a lot of good ideas in the works. I can’t wait to see how this app evolves, although I will say it is already very useful.
