I do not usually write reviews but thought this was worthy. I have used this to document three trips, healthy living information, and to journal my thoughts. I have kept paper journals since I was a child and can say it is nice to have everything in one place. It has been very easy to us. I would recommend this app to any wanting to get things down on "paper".

It's Important to Backup this App
One of my favorite apps, without question. BUT recent updates can create some problems. I, too, lost my colored backgrounds today.
Though I've had the app over a year, I backed it up for the first time last week. Restoring brought back the colored background.
E-mailed app creator. They responded saying colored backgrounds have been eliminated to make room for other features. They may be available in later updates. Over 120 fonts and only 2 background colors seems a bit out of balance to me. After the shift to the white icon (and back again) a few months ago, I have to assume they are moving towards a monotone color scheme.
UPDATE. 7/2/17 I am still using this app. Despite my above complaints, I find a certain elegance in its' simplicity.

Perfect for my needs
I love this app. I was using another app that did not allow me to export all to PDF, so I could save the journals on my desktop and refer back to them occasionally. This one allows me to do that and more. Great for daily journaling and travel journaling!
Great journal app
Used this app for years, great app and is very easy to use. Only wish is that it would back up to cloud so each entry would be on all devices.
Great app with multiple journals!
I had been using an app that I really liked for about 5 years (Journals), but the developer was no longer able to update it...and so began my search for something similar, which has been frustrating until I came across Dailybook. It’s the closest I have found, and like my other app, the developer responds to all my questions and fixes things quickly. I haven’t been using it very long yet and haven’t even tried all the features. Some things I would like to see is having all the journals on one page instead of scrolling through each, and be able to insert a picture on the front, or be given different cover options. I would also like to have more font options, i.e. underline, highlight, bold, etc. One more thing that would be good is a separate home button instead of being hidden in settings.
Even though it doesn’t have everything I would like (yet)😉,I am giving it 5 stars because it’s a really good app and the developer seems very responsive to suggestions and so quick to respond.

I use this every night!
My goal is to write a few things that describe the day, include a photo, if appropriate, and express my gratitude. I love that it includes my location when possible and that I can back date the entry if I don't get it written by midnight. I only wish it could save to my iCloud, since I don't have Dropbox. Thank you for a great app!

Response from developer
Thank you so much for the great review, we appreciate it. You can create a Free Dropbox Basic account which includes 2 GB of space. Visit http://dropbox.com to create your free account.
No Support, No Response
It appears the developer no longer supports this app- the link for App Support is bad and no one responds when I complete the online 'feedback' form (the only thing I can find). I purchased the app years ago but stopped using it after a year. There are backups but the app doesn't connect to them or find them, so all the journals from those months are lost. Wish the app would work like it used to so I could at least open the backup and export it. Don't buy this app, because every time they do an update it stops working and you have to figure it all out again. Boo! Bad developer!

Lots of potential
I rarely ever buy apps, however I felt that by paying for this one perhaps I could get more of what I am looking for. I really wish this also had a Windows app so that I could have easy entry.
Also, sometimes during the middle of entry from my iPhone, the toolbar gets stuck in the middle of the page and I can't see what I am writing. That is really annoying and slows down entry in a big way.

Easy to use! But has issues!😫😫
This love this app! It is so easy-to-use; easy to put Photos on and you can find dates fast; however 🙄🙄🙄 in the last few updates I am no longer able to create new tags, and is a little bit harder to see different dates at the quick view. I would like to see the ability to sync between my iPhone and iPad, and possibly a Windows app for easy entry. As it is right now anything I put on only stays on that device only.😞😞😞😞😞😡

Does a lot really well, some weaknesses
I have now been using it for several years through multiple versions and increasing capabilities. It has become my one and only method of maintaining a record of daily activities. I love the ease of use, the fact that it never loses any data, that it has great search capabilities, and is easy to scan daily activities. The recently added print capability makes it easy to transfer personal records to paper. There are a few weaknesses that if fixed would enhance it even further.. (1) Be able to delete records after printing to minimize memory use on the device. (2). Be able to specify a range of dates to print rather than printing only one date per command. (3). Be able when printing to combine multiple dates onto a single sheet to avoid wasting space on the printed pages, or at least fill the printed pages to capacity. As it now works printing produces a lot of pages that often have little data on them.

Technical issues but has potential
I purchased this app a few weeks ago and have been using it nearly every day. Based on the reviews I expected it to function much better than it does, maybe it is due to the recent iOS upgrade. Some days I can't get it to open a new page. Sometimes the tool bar gets stuck in the middle of the screen. Sometimes the location and time, which I have set to add automatically, doesn't add. At the moment I can't even get the keyboard to pop up to type in my password. All that being said, it does have potential if these technical glitches are worked out. Should it function properly, my suggestions are to add text formatting abilities such as bold and underline, and I would like to be able to type a new entry in landscape mode without seeing the previous entries down the left column. I use this journal for a variety of purposes including notes I take in public, but I don't always want previous notes visible to others sitting around me. I believe the left column goes away in portrait mode, but landscape mode is much easier to type in.

Almost Perfect Journal App
I've been wanting to Journal for a while, but paper and pen journals don't work for me. Too much to carry around, manual writing takes long than typing, which I just don't have time for, and I find myself wanting to write entries at night, in bed without lights on. So the only solution is an app. I downloaded and checked out a lot of apps and read a lot of reviews. All apps were missing at least one key feature that is important to me.
This app has everything I'm looking for except one thing. Automated backups to a cloud that automatically syncs between all my devices. For me to be successful in consistently writing journal entries I need to be able to do it anywhere, anytime and on any device in my hand at the time (iPhone or iPad). This app is universal for iPhone and iPad, but you have to manually backup and manually import your journal between devices. I have a Dropbox account so that's what I use for backups. I just have to be in the habit of always backing up my journal before I close out the app and import the backup when I switch to a different device.
Otherwise this app is exactly what I was looking for.
Sure this app is not free, but I'm willing to spend a few dollars for a top notch AD FREE (woohoo) app that I use everyday. This app is definitely worth it.

A note worthy purchase
I never rate products because I find it to be a waste of my time and resources.
However, this journal is the best online journal I've used and I have downloaded and tried quite a few.
I use this journal everyday and it has the ability to mark where you've been, you can record bits from concerts and add them in or post pictures. The updates are great as well as Dropbox/iCloud sync is awesome.
You will not regret this purchase. There's so much versatility and the support crew is very helpful if you email them questions.
Definitely buy it!!!

Perfect Journal!
Perfect journal for me. I love the ability to create multiple books. I can have a journal for bible studies, workouts, personal, travel, etc. Helps me stay organized and I can quickly type a journal instead of wasting time, money, and paper buying paper journals and writing by hand. The search feature makes it extremely easy to find something from an older date. The backup and export options are comforting knowing that my journals are safe. I love being able to export the PDF and open them in iBooks. It’s also great to be able to include pictures.
The update works great! Dropbox backup is running much smoother.

An Outstanding Journal
This journal is an amazing app. I needed a simple daily log to refer back to in order to know what was done on a given day.
I happened to try Dailybook and I am elated that I did. Dailybook is simple to use. I say again, it is amazingly simple to use. The date and time are readily scrolled. To change them is a snap. It automatically gives you your location at the time of entry as well as the local weather, if you desire. I love the format and the layout.
Thanks for a superb and easy to use memory tool!

Really like this app
Second day of use and I find myself enjoying using it. Like the ability to add multiple photos and audio.
Only wish there was a check mark or some confirmation of when a photo has been selected.
