A place of rest

This has been a place I can better organize my circumstances on the present day knowing already how important these ways are becoming. It allows me to learn in my own timing with inspiration to listen to others that might know something more. Thank you. I like the simple fact that I can come back to it and reflect on it.

Helpful app to record and remember God’s faithfulness

Using this to record reflections after reading God’s word which are encouraging to look back on. Like the way you create a heading and a topic and also a quick mood check in

Helped me so much to stay consistent

Wonderful app so glad it was made

Lose my prompts too much

I love this app and the guided journal feature so much, but sometimes it’s so frustrating to lose everything I wrote and redo it multiple times. I’ve been using the app every night for a little less than a month now and this has happened like 3-4 times now all for different reasons.
One time, I was journaling very late and lost my prompts as soon as the clock striked midnight.
Another time, I pressed the sparkles button in the actual journal mode (not the “guide me” prompts mode) out of curiosity and it completely took me out of my already-written journal and I lost so much time.
And most recently, I was writing in the “guide me” prompts and accidentally tapped in an area outside the text box (NOT the red X), and it again took me out of my journal and I lost everything.

This is so easily fixed if there was an auto save feature or an “are you sure you want to leave?” button. This is probably testing my patience or the devil battling my spirit, but this needs a fix. I love this all, but I will absolutely switch to one that won’t delete my entire 30-minute journal if necessary.

Need to be able to use on multiple devices

I really like this app but when I use it on my iPad I can’t see the entries on my phone so I feel like I’m stuck to using it on 1 device. I thought they would possibly link together after I purchased the lifetime subscription but they don’t and now I’m regretting purchasing that now. I would love it if I was able to use it on both devices.

Finally a Christian Focused Journalling App - BUT…

I’m very happy to find a Journal/Diary created specifically for Christian focus and meditation, however I have my concerns.

CONCERNS:
1. There is absolutely no way to traditionally edit the journal! ‘Copy & Paste’ is very cumbersome and you cannot ‘select’ a sentence or paragraph, just a single word or the entire page!
2. The available edits are faulty - I can only highlight the entire page, instead of a section of the text. Ditto with Bold, Underscore, Italic…
3. Even when you back date (change the date) of a journal entry, it does not rearrange the entry into chronological order. 4. There is no scope to arrange individual folders for ascending or descending chronological order. One setting covers all folders.
5. Formatting: not every entry suits the current structure (Justified). I would like to be able to have the option to indent, center, justify left/right.
6. I have yet to work out how to rearrange the folders list. Is that even possible?
7. Finally, there is only 1 backup option. I have an iOS device, so would prefer to backup to my usual Cloud Storage - which IS NOT Google!

There are things that I like and admire about this App, but they are somewhat outweighed by the above.

Love this app

This is the perfect app for the journaling Christian. You can add voice notes and other perks for a modest fee but the free version is more than enough. There’s a link to Bible verses for your current mood and journaling prompts if you are stuck. It also will ask questions for additional prompts. It’s got plenty of extras but it’s simple enough for anyone to use.

New to journaling

I like this app more that the previous one I was using. Question: can I log into my account on various devices? I've started journaling on my tablet but I also want to see my entries on my phone. Sometimes I want to refer to my morning entry when away from my tablet. If so I will raise my rating.

Love it

I love this app! It helps with my emotions, and my thoughts and everything! I’ve never felt so close to God before I started using this app! There’s six things I’d change:
1. Make the time you wrote it show up alongside the date
2. And highlighting stuff!
3. Take pictures using the app!
4. Make different kinds of bibles (I use the CSB, same kind as my church)!
5. I can’t move the sticker after I place it (I’ve tried clicking it over and over but it didn’t work)!
6. Make more emotions emojis (I usually just rename the one that looks closest to how I’m feeling)!
But overall it rocks!!!! I love how you can go back and edit it, because normal journals don’t do that (I write in pen)!
Over all it rocks and I’m absolutely obsessed with it!!!!
Thank you creators, and have a bless day!

Great but…no auto save

Love this app. Purchased the subscription which I never do.

But since it doesn’t auto save I lost lots of information. Have to toggle between save and edit, which makes it difficult.

I also upgraded to use the highlight feature and am extremely disappointed that it only highlights the entire entry. The point of highlighting is to highlight text within the entry.
