Why leave current weather to subscription?
I have been using Journey for years since it came out, and bought almost all initial versions, either in Android, iOS, Windows, or web browsers. This journaling experience is always near-perfect, steady, fluent, and media-rich. However, in the newest version, I need a subscription to record current weather. I have tried several times to make sure it’s not a bug. I really confused why this happened.

Flexibility → Freedom
I developed the habit of journalling long ago, starting with paper-based diaries. Around 2010 I finally switched over to an app, Day One. It was fine, but limited to macOS and iPhone. Then in 2020 they got greedy with the forced switch to subscription-only models.
Which is when I discovered Journey.
Journey offered two things no other app has been able to offer: a one-time payment per platform, and cross-device access (macOS, iOS, Windows, Android, web).
I delighted when I discovered I was able to migrate 10 years of Day One journal entries into Journey, and then access them from my iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Android phone… even my Linux machine. That freedom alone has been well worth the switch. It doesn’t matter which device I happen to have at hand, I have the freedom to access and maintain my journal from anywhere and using practically anything.
In 2025 I got a Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 for business purposes. Being a longtime Apple user (and still am), the Fold was, and still is, a marvel. Being able to journal from a foldable device has been become my preferred option when out and about. And for me, this again highlighted the strength of Journey over competing apps.
Every app has quirks, and Journey is not immune to them. But it does its job well and it delivers on a promise that most other apps don’t offer, the freedom and flexibility to journal no matter what device you have at hand.

Fix Bugs Please!
I’ve been using this for over 2 years now and love the calendar view and the layout - but there’s been some bugs that have persisted for such a long time. Please fix them!
- When inserting an image on iOS26/7, the cancel button is flipped upside down!
- When editing on iPhone, for the first 3 or 4 attempts forces the screen to focus back on the top, even though the cursor is down the bottom, and it feels like I’m fighting it just to edit.
Please remove the 4 image limit for free users. It doesn’t stop me from making another entry just for photos. It’s just slightly inconvenient for no reason.
I’d also be more willing to subscribe and pay for the service if I didn’t have a fake FOMO pop-up every single time I opened the app. If the deal has been available for over 2 years, it’s not limited time, is it?
And sorry, but the bear is creepy. Please let me hide it. I just want to record my thoughts and experiences. Nobody asked for this.

I have used this app for more than 7 years!
I love this app! I’ve been using it to journal for over 7 years. I love the little flashback memories/entries it shares with you! It’s awesome to be able to reflect back!
I love how I can attach photos/videos and track how I’m feeling with each entry, too!
