End-to-End Encryption

While, I’m not into the emojis (that’s just me), and the recording of one’s feelings and mental health in the digital space can be dangerous because of the security risks, the fact that this app is end-to-end encrypted is what sets it apart from most of the other journaling apps out there. It gives me a little more assurance that no one including the developers can access any of my personal entries. It’s the main reason I even gave a try. I’m loving it so far.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your feedback and stay tuned for new updates.

Suggestions for Improvement

While I find this app to be quite useful overall, I believe it could be even better with a simple addition: the option to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales. As someone who prefers Fahrenheit measurements, having this choice would significantly enhance my experience and make the app more accessible to a wider audience.

Additionally, I'd like to suggest the implementation of descriptive reminders. Being able to add descriptions or notes to reminders would greatly improve their utility, allowing users to provide additional context or details for each task or event. This feature would undoubtedly enhance the organization and effectiveness of the reminder system within the app.

Not working

I’m unable to open the app.

Response from developer

Hello, I’m sorry to hear that. I would appreciate if you could record the problem and sent it to helpjournal4u@gmail.com Thank you.

Nice

Wanted to try this journal and straight away ran into issues. However I contacted the dev and within days he sorted out all the issues and kept me informed all the way so 100% well done to him. Like the layout of this app and look forwards to using it to record my days.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for the feedback. There are still tons of features that I will be developing soon and looking forward for your continuous support.
