Warum lassen sich bei der neusten Version die eingefügten Fotos nicht mehr vergrößern. ….? Oder liegt es an meinem Telefon

Response from developer

Hallo Frank100962, das liegt nicht an Ihrem Telefon. Die Funktion zum Vergrößern von Bildern bringen wir in der nächsten Version wieder zurück.

Good update

Enjoyed the classic version and now think the update is an improvement. Not sure I understand the purpose of what use I can make of something called Tags but I only use one journal with only one template so probably not relevant. The one thing that would be better for me is to see the working page make more effective use of what looks like a lot of space. I prefer to see all my journal entries on one page but each grid cuts off the information after 5 lines. The information is still there of course but just doesn’t show in that view but the amount of what looks like unused available space is a bit frustrating. Update After A Few Months Still liking the app but will follow with interest the paid version as the pricing at $19 annually seems considerably higher than what’s generally found with other apps. Another Update They took away the painful subscription marketing that preceded access to our data. It was just way too much when compared to other apps and is now simply easily found within the app instead of force feeding the user. Given the comparatively very high pricing I’m a bit doubtful there’ll be many takers though.

Too Small

The font is too small, I have trouble distinguishing the letters. Should have the option of size and style. This used to be my favorite diary app, but I’ll have to look for another one I can read.

Insert history no longer works after update!

I have the paid premium version that is a PAID subscription that does NOT work with the latest update! This must be fixed or refunds should be issued!

I’m running the latest iOS version on an iPhone Pro 16.

The app is crashing constantly to the point where I can’t even use it now.

Great until it reset everything

Great tool if you're consistent, I didn't use the app for about a couple months and it signed me out and i lost everything i wrote down

Nun verdiente 5 Sterne

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der App und benutze sie seit über zehn Jahren.

Nachdem die Tag-Funktion jetzt repariert worden ist, hat die App volle Sterne verdient. An dieser Stelle sage ich vielen lieben Dank an die Entwickler.

Zu der App selber. Sie ist absolut logisch aufgebaut und seit über zehn Jahren führe ich hier täglich mein Tagebuch. Das Gute ist der vorgefertigte Rahmen, so dass ich mir jeden Tag circa 20 Fragen stelle, die ich über diese App beantworte und mich selber dadurch reflektiere.

Subscriber but no support at all

I’m a paying subscriber. I’ve had a synch issue for 10 days now. I’ve contacted support 4 times with no answer at all. I never use a bad review to push for help but this is a complete absence of service.

Subscriber but no support

I’m a paying subscriber. I’ve had a synch issue for 5 days now. I’ve contacted support 3 times with no answer at all. I usually never use a bad review to push for help but this is really not a good service.

UI for timeline

I honestly don't like the timeline ui where it shows the date on the left within a little box.. It looks very crowded. The previous one was way better and I just want it change back to the older version, or at least provide some options in the settings and let the user choose

Best app on market

I reviewed a lot of different journaling apps. I’ve been using this one for years. Have not been able to find one better. Highly customizable, intuitive design, great prompts if you don’t have your own, good workflow. Highly recommend it.

Can No Longer Sign In

I would have given this app 5 stars until today. I have had this subscription several years but haven’t used it for a long time. I tried to sign in today but could not. I have tried the “forgot password” with all my emails and always get “email does not exist”. I cancelled the subscription but would love to keep it if the issue can be resolved.

I never leave reviews but

I’ve been using this app for almost 10 years and I am so grateful for it! It’s everything I want in a journaling and self care app — it’s customizable, but not overwhelmingly. I love that I can add photos easily, and use quick tags. It’s been so rewarding to see my journal entries from the past, compared to my present with their “this time a week / month / year ago”.

This app has been the best thing for my mental health when I’ve used it consistently to gratitude journal and write down my thoughts, or make todo lists for the day.

簡單明瞭好用

Shameful

It's shameful that an app this buggy charges money for sync capability.

It also doesn't list what all the premium features are, so you have no idea what you're getting when you buy it or what you're missing if you don't.

サポートから連絡がない

とても魅力的なアプリだと思いますが、Classic版からの移行ができず、サポートへ連絡していますが、1カ月以上経っても返信がありません。これでは、使い物になりません。

Gesamte App hängt trotz aktualisieren und neuinstallation

Liebe diese App und nehme die schlechte Bewertung auch direkt zurück. Aber nach dem heutigen Update hängt bei mir alles und irgendwie muss man ja darauf aufmerksam machen

Everything I've Been Looking For

It's taken me a few years to write a review, but finally here we are!!!

Firstly, for some context, I began journalling in 2018 at boarding school. When I came home in 2019 I really enjoyed looking back at how I was thinking and what I was experiencing. I wanted to digitize everything. I didn't digitize it using this app for complicated and unncessary-to-explain reasons, but I revelled in the thought of having a digital journal going forward, something that was made for journalling and being able to search through it.

In 2022 I found this app. I'm still working on the habit where I write in it every day, but today I logged in after not using it for a few weeks and perused through my memories that popped up and played with the search feature. I absolutely LOVE this app, it was everything I was searching for and I'm eternally grateful for it. I'm happy to have been supporting the developers through the subscription and every feature is just perfect. It has more features than I could've imagined! I could never have come up with those journal prompts on my own. I love having a daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly template so I can look back on any aspect I want. I really can't express enough how much I love this app and I hope it never goes away!

Stunning design and attention to detail

I really appreciate the philosophy of this journalling app, which is a perfect fit for my needs. It feels scalable and flexible for a lot of different use cases. The design is very clean and tidy, and I enjoy the writing experience a lot. I wrote this review because I hope to encourage the developers to keep up the good work — I intend to use this as my daily journal for years to come!
