Einfügen von Bildern…

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
