Firstly, the entire controls of font are frustrating on the iPhone (notes, numbers, and other applications where typing is needed). However, this is by far the WORST to deal with in the journal. You cannot indent bulleted lists, you have to tap multiple menus to select fonts, then you have to redo this for each word/line. How has no one thought to create a header yet? For any of these apps…

The application would be MUCH better if you could save a template. For example, I have many different journals because I want to separate reflection of my emotions during self growth, store progress of self growth, accountability charts, ideas/lists of goals, and end my journaling with Mindfulness and Stoicism by listing 3 achievements each day.

This could easily be a template to copy/paste, but I am finding I have to type it each time. I could store an entry and physically copy and paste to save time, but it is still annoying having to navigate between old entries and newly created untried. Instead, you could have a template to paste.

The app isn’t a total bust and I do like a lot of aspects. However, it could be much better, and should be with how many updates we’ve seen since the release of the journal app.

Also, how does the State of Mind in health and the Journal not sync?

My review for this app

Fun to write down places that I want to visit like hiking and locker combinations and passwords such a great app

I love the journal

It is someone I can talk to and if you don’t want anyone to read you can lock it. It’s like my partner who I can vent to and they don’t care.

I won my Softball Tournament

Idk why but it keeps making random spaces when I try to write. Please fix

I love this app so much five stars

It’s been covering me all the way it’s like my diary now

Best Journal ever

I love this app because we get to tape out our feeling and what happened that day. For example, if I was having a bad day I don’t want to keep that feeling inside, so in “ Journal “ I get to give out all of that inside and let it out of me. And it goes the other way too if I was having an amazing day I can tell it to some one or tape it in here. That is why I love this app

This app is awesome

I can write whatever I want and get my feelings out without worrying about my hand writing or my hand hurting from writing I LOVE THIS APP

Need to add lines

I’m sure I am not the first person to write this. The idea of having an integrated Apple specific journaling app is amazing. No subscription price for a journaling app is great! But!! This app needs the option to add lines both college and wide rule etc. the option to customize the page or the ability to upload a template like you can in Goodnotes would be amazing. I would actually switch then. I really want to like and use this app but the ability to have lines would be a great feature to add please. Of course I understand that maybe the intention is to type out your journal but the physical act of writing even if on a digital surface is actually better for your mind and mental health than the typing is. So I would love to be able to write digitally like I do with Goodnotes but it is difficult to keep things organized without the guidance of lines. If ever the option to add lines or a template is added this app would be perfect.

Perfect for IPhone to have

Randomly I get the chance to document feelings, dreams, and events and see patterns in my history. Excellent job Apple including questions of how I am feeling or affected with the mind features.

Love this

It’s really easy to log on the go. Keeps everything neat. Something to consider, if the journal was like a book and an entry went onto a page so you could flick through your journal as a book.

Date freeze

Use all the time App freezes every time i try to edit the date. Please fix. Used to work fine before latest update.

Good but not to good

So all I have to say is

Perfect, can even add photos etc

After almost 450,000 words, I love this App. Easy to search for similar subjects. I wish I knew how to print many entries on one page since 9,000 pages would be too much!

Journal

This app is like the best I’ve ever used , it comes built into iPhone and I didn’t have to download it , you can add picture and right as long as you’d like .very very good for long and rough days if you don’t like hand writing or you have trouble keeping up with your books

Amazing app❤️🤯

The reason why I love the app Journal is because number one I can write all my feelings thoughts and all my problems and things I need to talk about and I could enter it into my Journal and plus it can also you can make it do Face ID that’s what I did so then my mom doesn’t have to look and I could keep myself safe and that’s why I love Journal. Also, let me reflect jot down ideas and cool stuff and good work ideas for boxing classes. It’s so good. I love this app 10 out of 10. I really recommend it if you’re a person that is constantly stressed or has thoughts and feelings that nobody else can relate to this app is for you.🤗
