Potential for greatness

I’m encouraged by the recent update that fixed the crashing update on iOS 18. Previously I was feeling that the app may have lost the love of its developers as they poor all their energy into Noteshelf 3, their flagship product.

I hope they continue to nurture and mature GoJournal by giving it the the attention it needs to flourish. If that means switching to a subscription model, so be it. But please keep GoJournal alive and well.

I was really hoping that with iOS 18 they would reveal an exciting new version with some new features and functionality.

For example, things like …

* Drag and drop of notebooks to rearrange in order we want
* Journal groups to organize our journal by area
* Drag and drop of list items for managing a daily todo list easier or any type of list (like Noto)
* Entry bookmarks / favorites
* Custom background themes
* Wiki links for developing a knowledge base by linking related entries (like Bear notes)
* Trash can for deleted entries
* Multiple icons to choose from and support ios18 tinted icons
* An Apple Watch app (on par with Noteshelf) for adding audio entries.

I guess we will wait and see … Meanwhile, I will hold to the faith that new life will be breathed into GoJournal soon. 🤞

Even though it hasn’t been given the attention it deserves, GoJournal is still one of the best kept secrets in iOS Journaling apps, that’s why I’m bothering to write this review.

Nice

However, occasionally one of the journals will start flashing. To me that is annoying when I’m trying to decide which to open. It starts hurting behind my eyes. The only way I’ve found to stop it is to delete that journal. If it wants my attention it should give me a better clue as to why. Opening and closing the journal didn’t stop it. If it is an attempt to get me to answer the prompts could you please make it an option rather than an annoyance. Personally, I open an app to make an entry and find prompts distracting enough to forget what it was I wanted to enter. I suppose it is an effect of the brain surgery.

Its great but needs more features

Go Journal is great but needs more features. like a photo calendar. i.e. better templates, reminders to journal, basically everything day one has.

You might ask. why not just use DayOne?? Its ok feature wise but i dont like being bled out monthly. Go Journal has no subscription fee which is why im using it exclusively.

I hope they never go that route. Charge a fair price upfront per user and thats it. Tried evernote, diarium (diahhrea lol umm) , others. Nope stick with Go Journal.

DEVs please just keep it bug free and add more cool features to it and youll have a 5 star winner! Thanks

Simple and Effective, one small but important improvement

I like the simplicity. If it is not simple then we stop journaling, usually.

Creators! Please fix the search to search within the journal selected.

I own both go journal and Noteshelf 3

Awesome App

This is such an easy and perfect journal to use. I LOVE it! The only problem I have with it is that it needs to have a way to make it more secure and give the option for a passcode and not just face recognition or fingerprint. I have others that have access to my phone and a passcode would prevent them opening up my journal. Thank you!

I tried 3 different journaling apps and Go Journal was my favourite choice as does everything I wanted. It is a great app and includes a calendar view of every entry as well as a listing of every day’s entries, photos and location. I’ve already recommended it to many friends who all love the idea and want to get the app. Thank you Go Journal!

Worth the one-time payment

This is a great app for journaling because of the templates it gives, editing features, and saving to the cloud. Other journal apps I tried did not have such robust features and usually had a monthly fee which I hate. The only thing that I could think of that would make this app amazing would be the ability to edit or creat entities on a computer that I could then access on my phone. I tend to type a lot in my entry and find that I need a keyboard to get all my thoughts out.

It was good for a while

It worked well for a while but as my journal got larger (>80 entries & images) I started getting more frequent crashes and entry corruption. Sometimes it will crash to Home Screen over and over, other times it will reload every entry over and over, while sometimes it will just flip to other journals randomly when I try to add an image. I’ve tried submitting a bug on this and another image issue but didn’t get any resolution. I’ll be looking for another journaling solution soon. It shouldn’t be a memory or processor issue as I have a M1 iPad Pro.

Hi, we have an update of you, our Test Engineer & Developer were able to identify the issues mentioned by you. We will get it fixed in coming update. Once question for you - when exactly is the app freezing and crashing, is it while adding many images at once or adding some images multiple times in the same Entry? Kindly clarify to help us fix the issue properly. Thanks for your time & feedback!
