Love it but would really love to see this one feature!!

Its my 2 week anniversary since using this app and I love it. I love everything about it! The only concerns I have are 3:

1. Emojis: Idk why but when I log an entry on my phone and use emojis it always leaves this huge space between the emoji and the next word. I've figured out that I need to use a period and then go back and delete it before it looks normal. Could be my phone maybe?

2. Please create some type of tip jar to help support! The one time payment was a very good price I might say and would be sad to have it changed.

3. Maybe it already does but I haven't used it long enough: but a memories feature! Kinda like Day One and Facebook where we get notifs for previous entries from that day!

Other than that this app is basically perfect and honestly with these suggestions and the right promotions could top Day One 100%. I am willing and would be very glad to help too!! :)

Great app for all of your journal needs

This app is intuitive and easy to use. I love how you can have different journals for whatever you want and change between them quickly or view entries for all of them together.

The are a few things Iโ€™d love to see in the future that would make this an unbeatable app:

1) A view with a seamless vertical scroll through the journal pages.

2) The ability to change fonts.

3) Videos play automatically.

Great Journaling app

This app is great and very user friendly, I highly recommend it. It has been having a little glitch lately where the app crashes on opening. It usually fixes itself. But it really scares me that Iโ€™m going to lose my journals.

Emojis and /

I wish I could use emojis and the / symbol for my journal names

Itโ€™s a great app!

Keep up the great work!

Itโ€™s a great concept, but I wish I had the discipline to useit every day. (I often ignore the reminders!)

I do sometimes have issues with the cursor jumping around when Iโ€™m typing & replacing what I type with an apostrophe. Canโ€™t figure out why that happens. It usually occurs after I have had the app open for a longer period of time. When it gets annoying, I can kust close the app & reopen it; that works for a little while.

Loving it

For the most part itโ€™s amazing!! I love to make several different journals. One to track healthy habits, one to track daily gratitude, etc. The limits are endless. It has glitched and force closed a few times but hopefully theyโ€™ll put out an update soon to fix that. :)

Truly Ideal

GoJournal is one of the best journaling apps I've used. It's pricing model is very reasonable, it's packed with features, and the devs seem to support the app with frequent meaningful updates.

I keep a journal daily, and I have been since 2016. I am very particular with these types of apps, and GoJournal has been fantastic.

Good design and functionality ..but keeps freezing

Really like the functionality in this app and that it allows hand written notes as well as typed. However my journaling is being hampered by the app constantly freezing. Happened 5 times today alone so far. I prefer to hand write my notes using Apple Pencil and that seems to be the issue. The only way to move past that is to swipe the app away and restart. Hope it becomes more stable in the future as it seems a great app.

A very good journaling app

Been using DayOne since.. day one! But not happy with the high price of their subscription model, or subscription models in general! This app has most of the features of DayOne and surprisingly one or two of those features are implemented better in this GoJournal! Some nice formatting features and good job on not repeating the date and day on every single entry in list view as DayOne has done - it made it difficult to see individuals days (groups) of entries. I would say this app needs a time stamp to be visible on the entires and also in list view. Looking forward to new features! Pricing model - Superb!
