Monomo Journal User Reviews

Top reviews

The greatest personal history

This is a great journal for every day, but its secret is that it allows you to go back And enter journal writings from years past – all the way back to childhood. So I use that note only as a daily journal, but as an autobiography,. It is by far the best I have ever seen.

The best in simplicity

Yes. This application is in the tradition of Unix-style applications: do one thing, and do it really well.

Monomo is not overburnded with extras to justify a higher price or the plague of subscription pricing. It does what it does really well.

I LOVE the reading mode, which allows you to read a thread of your journal entries as if you were reading a book. The best for reflection. Elegant and wonderful.

A great application

I have been using this app for a month and really like its design, which is intuitive and allows me to keep a detailed journal. A couple suggestions:

- Increase the number of pictures (now maxed to 4 pictures per journal entry).
- Allow another person to access the journal on their device. My wife would like to add her entries on the same journal but there is no way for her to share/ sing in my account.

Needs A Few More Things

When I saw this app, I was excited to try it out. I've been using Dreams for a while, and Journey as my daytime journal. I was more than willing to pay for the full version, but unfortunately, Monomo just doesn't have all the features I need to be a replacement for Journey. That's not the app's fault, don't get me wrong, it's just the way things currently stand.
First of all, I have been using Journey for over a year, maybe even two, and there's no way to import the entries from there, not even just text. Not that I would know how that could be implamented. Secondly, there's no formatting. I don't need much, just a simple bold, italic, and underline, but the app doesn't have that. Lastly, the tagging is a little less intuitive than Dreams's signs feature. You can add tags with categories, link them, add triggers, and all that the same. Except when you create a new tag while writing an entry, there's no way to select its category right away. So then you have to do the tedious process of categorizing your tags post-entry.
Other than that the app is really good, a good journaling app with a similar style to Dreams, which I love and will continue to use. And I think this app would be good for anyone who wants a simple journaling experience with good organization (I really like the tag feature.) But in its current state, Monomo just isn't for me.

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for your detailed feedback. Just want to say that basic formatting is available. Just select the text you want to format and tap on the BIU button. You can set bold, underline and italics. Concerning the possibility to set the tag category when writing an entry that’s possible too. After you press the button to add a new tag a form will appear where you can set links, triggers and the category. No need to do it post-entry. Please also note that you can edit a tag you already inserted into the tags field by long pressing on it. Please, do not hesitate to contact us directly at support@thelostproject.com in case you have any other questions or doubts. We really hope you can give Monomo another chance! Again, thank you for the feedback and have a wonderful day!

Great Journaling App

I tried out the features for 3 weeks - and just bought the unlimited entries in-app purchase.

This is a great journaling app - you can make multiple entries per day, add images per entry and add tags.

The tags are great for recalling tidbits of information in the future.

Please Add E2EE...

This is by and large of all the offerings on the App Store, the most minimalist yet powerful writing experience you can hope for.

There are only two things missing:

1) End To End Encryption, so that your data is encrypted before being backed up to iCloud. Then that same Encrypted data, can be syncronized to all of your devices via iCloud, where it can then be Decrypted Locally on the device.

2) The ability to create multiple Journals, instead of one giant one. It would be nice to have seperate Journals for different thoughts you want to type out, and archive.

If you can impliment these features, you will get the remaining two stars for each one and this app will be flawless, and I will pay for the full version!

Thank you with kindness for what you have already created, as it is really great. Please consider implementing these two elements.
