Pretty Good, Would Recommend!
So, in my opinion, it’s kind of just the notes app with a password. Either way, it’s still really good. Only thing I don’t like is that if you leave the tab but keep it open it will erase everything you wrote. Still, pretty avoidable, and overall a good app.Lionelbb<3

I'd love to take a closer look at the issue you pointed out - can you let me know exactly what steps you're taking before something you wrote gets erased? Cheers!one issue otherwise perfect
I love the convenience of a paperless Journal and minimalistic approach to an essential app for those reliant of written reminders. Easy to use, Journal’s versatility allows for more than reminders and errands, it can be used to take executive notes, store documents, log books, reflect, critique art and film; there are several ways to make the most of this app. Its a place for self-expression, ideas, opinions, thoughts, responsibilities all in one! That said there’s no option for account recovery, if you forgot your passcode there’s nothing you can do in app to reset it, you will have to contact the developer and see if they can resolve the issue. I’d like to see a “passcode reset” option in the following update/s, also, I might’ve missed it but I can’t find contact information anywhere, so best of luck if you need help.ceriseymi

Thanks for using the app, and I really appreciate your feedback! Unfortunately account recovery is unlikely to ever be a thing given the technical design of the app. Your data, including the password you set never leaves your device, to ensure maximum privacy. This means I wouldn't be able to help you recover your data. RE: not being able to find contact info - you can find this at the very bottom of the 'me' tab! You can get in touch any time at support@ajournaladay.com. CheersGreat app!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m so glad I took the time to scroll past all of the fancy apps in the search results. I’ve been wanting something simple and direct for eons. There are zero distractions in this app. Perfect for jotting down little bits during the day or going all-in with a long entry before bed.
I like that you can add a mood to your entry without it crowding up the main screen like other apps. And if you don’t want to add moods, the button to do so is not at all in your face. Similarly, the plain colors of the app leave your focus on what you’re doing.
The stats tab is also nicely done with how straightforward and seamless it is.
To potential users reading reviews: Keep in mind that it does not have automatic backup as many of us are accustomed to. You’ll need to export and import the data from within the app. I do “save to files” to export since it automatically opens your Apple files when you import.Corolina
Distraction Free Journal App
It's best to journal (and to write in general) without any distractions, and this app has none.
* You don't have to organize or time stamp entries yourself.
* The interface is as simple as it gets.
* There is no builtin cloud storage, meaning no badgering you to pay for it.
* There are no ads.
* There is no subscription.
* Your entries are not harvested.
* You can use biometrics to limit access to the app so that you don't even have to worry about a password day-to-day.
* There are no prompts.
There are little stats that are on their own screen so that you don't have to look at them if you don't want to. The app will reauthenticate if you open another app during use, similar to a password manager, which is a nice touch. There is an export feature so that you may backup your entries however you choose; the export format is unencrypted, so if you wish to encrypt your backup, you should do it yourself. The developer appears to be independent. It is a very good app.4gateftw
What I need
I really like this journal. I like that I can pick an emoji to represent my mood. The only thing I’d like is to be able to add thoughts to my journal multiple times a day and have them time stamped. Right now I just put a couple spaces between my thoughts to separate them. Overall a great journal. It is simple with no distractions or prompts.I Wish Oreo's Were Healthy
