This is an app to watch. I LOVE it.
I bullet journal, because I love pen-paper. But I can’t have my Bujo with me everywhere. Enter DoEntry. I can quickly type any thoughts or feelings down that I need or want to remember, and write them in my Bujo when I have a minute later. But this app is so much more than just a companion to my physical journal.
I like also reflecting on different parts of my day. Like, reflecting on my shift at work. There is a daily work reflection, but I edited it to suit my specific job which is not an office job. Or, the wind down reflection before bed. It helps to unload anything that my mind would keep whirring about. I also like that there’s also guided breathing right on the entry screen!
I tried notion. WAY TOO CONFUSING- and also I didnt like their security measures or that you had to be connected to the internet to use it. I also also tried various other self help/note taking/habit apps. If you journal, track things, want to reflect on yourself or your life and see improvement, this is the app for you!
Some things I would like to note- and I’m not taking on stars for this because I know these are minor things!
1. I think there’s a bug or an error when editing templates. Not sure, I’m no app developer. But when I go to edit my templates, and if I delete a question (or archive), it will not let me delete any other template questions unless I save my changes, back out of the template, and then tap it as if I were going to use it, and then back out of it again. I know that sounds confusing but I could elaborate more in an email if the developer wants.
2. The times are all in military time. Luckily, I play Japanese games and at my job all of our clocks are military time, so I can read it. But most Americans cannot, so maybe add an option for the normal US clock?
3. I would like to see more cloud storage options.
4. Maybe add a more specific guide on how to set goals. The template system is tricky to wrap your head around at first, and I didn’t understand that if I wanted to set a daily goal to study for 1 hour, I had to start a template for it.
Hope to see more features and updates with this app, and hope that it gets more foot traffic!!!
