Great but requests
This app is so close to perfect for what I need. It is significantly easier to use than my previous photo book app that I used to chronicle my kids and print books for them each year as keepsakes. But these are my wishes:
Allow a post to be added to multiple journals at once. Right now it’s a single select for journal but it would make my process so much easier if it was a multi select. I make a journal book for each kid and at least 50+% of entries are shared between kids. Eventually I’d like to make a general travel book, more aligned to this apps original goal and being able to add to all albums at once would be great.
As an avid traveler of the United States, I wish we had state stamps AND country stamps. It would make this page more interesting for those that don’t do as much international travel. When you live in NC and travel to Hawaii or Alaska, it’s a big deal! National Parks would also be an amazing addition.
Text only entries. I want to save kid quotes or text focused pages but right now will need to find placeholder images for those funny moments.
I can’t wait to see what my first printed books look like! Overall this is a nicely polished app and very fast performance.

Great app
I share my trip diary and photos with family and friends. They love it. Then once home I do a photo book. I love that it includes my diary. I have 8 now. From all over the world.
Maybe you could update your release notes
The notes have been the exact same for at least a year. It would be nice to known what’s actually been updated, corrected or otherwise changed.
User friendly
I find your app difficult to navigate. However the desktop version is very very good.

Support Lacking
I’ve enjoyed using this app for journaling our travels for several years - even upgrade to the Premium version. Having a problem backing up my most recent journal to Dropbox. Support is very slow to respond. Looking for another option for future trips. Disappointing Journi’s support isn’t more responsive.

First time user
I was looking for something that I could ‘record’ a family trip to the USA on and share this with some family and friends only rather than a Facebook style thing. This app is excellent! I loved it. I was able to do a daily update using photos and text about our day. Your f&f will need the app but this is easy to do. You have 1000 characters per entry and a lot of photos. Some times videos longer than 30 seconds struggled to be uploaded but they may have sorted this. Uploading screenshots can also be an issue.
The map feature is excellent and lets you see your travels as is the ability to ensure each post is logged with a destination. This felt like a really personal ‘blog’ and I only wish I had more trips which I could blog about on here. Highly recommended.

Feels Old-School - An Ideal Journal App!
Am loving following my friends family holiday. Unlike some other social media there is not an ongoing conversation. You look forward to their posts and then have an opportunity to like or comment.
Different members of the family have composed different posts. It’s super charming!

Journi is NOT user friendly
I tried the Journi app on my phone and don’t find it intuitive at all! It’s WAY too tiny to maneuver on your phone and the app is not fully functional on my computer. I ended up designing my book on my iPad. When I went to order I almost lost a whole days worth of work as it didn’t save that last draft! I will stick w Mixbooks site for creating photobooks!

Fantastic for recording your travel memories
I love this app for travel journaling. It’s easy to use. I run into the letter limits sometimes but that’s not necessarily a bad thing plus you can always create a second post. My only complaint about this app is that you can’t include links in the post. It would be nice if I could include links to websites or articles about the places I’ve visited, or even to music I heard on the trip.

Search Function
I like the layout and design of this app, however, to my surprise, the search function (by key words) doesn't work although there is a search box. Any idea how to fix it?
Waste of time
I spent a day adding pictures and customized an album, thinking it will be a great Christmas present but unfortunately after the creation of the album all other edits were not saved.
App freezes all the time
Even though I have good bandwidth this app freezes constantly, and doesn’t allow you to scroll through the pictures without waiting an extended period of time. It’s very ridiculous . if we didn’t have so many trips logged with this app, I would move to another.
Worst app ever
What a joke. Am a parent whose child is away with the school overseas and that have used this app to share photos etc. but no one can do anything except open an account. Use anything but this app
Love this but…
I gave it 4 stars because I just wish you could put videos like half of my trips are videos. But other wise I love the app and I love how it is private to so random people don’t just find your profile.
Great way to keep family updated AND journal
Currently on a 2 month road trip and wanted a way to keep family updated when traveling from place to place without letting all of social media know our exact whereabouts. This app has been fantastic!! I love keeping track of what we have done and it passes the mom and grandma’s “check in everyday” 😆
ONLY THING MISSING is being able to post a video. There is so much more when sharing a video. I’ve looked at other ‘journal’ apps that offered videos but I just liked this layout the best. HOPING for videos soon!!!!🤞🏻

Overall I like the app
Here are a couple things that could be improved:
1. offer an option to show the travel route on the map connecting the stations by order of date.
2. allow to upload small videos even though they will not print in the book.
3. it seems difficult for some people to link the journal after they have been invited

Auf dem absteigenden Ast
Ich nutze die App seit Jahren. Eigentlich nur weil ich damit angefangen hab und meine Reisen alle hier verewigt habe. Ich find die App auch ganz ok, das wars aber auch schon… Der Unterschied zur Premiumversion ist so gering, dass sich das nicht lohnt, was ja irgendwie gut ist (hatte ich, macht für mich keinen Sinn). Mich stört total, dass man keine Videos hochladen kann!!! Und wenn ich Bildschirmfotos mache, zbsp um Strecken hochzuladen, such ich jedes Mal verzweifelt um dann wieder zu checken, aaahhh, anderer Ordner, nicht bei „alle Bilder“. Das nervt! Ich weiß nicht wie es seit dem Update ist, vorher hat es mir hochgeladene Bilder frankioniert und ich musste bei allen händisch dann die Zeit anpassen, damit mein Beitrag wieder zusammen ist und nicht in 10 Einzelbildern 🤯 ich würde einzeln hochladen, würde ich das wollen. Vermutlich, laut der Beschreibung des Updates, ist das noch schlimmer.. seh ich dann nächste Woche. Nachtrag: das ist wirklich besser geworden !!! Kein Problem mehr, vorher war das nervig, jetzt voll ok so!! Aber, was mich grade wirklich stört: ich hab keine Freunde, die die App nutzen, die fahren ja nicht mal in Urlaub. Ich würde aber ganz gerne mal andere Journis lesen, vor allem von Orten, an die ich fahre. Früher hat man auch öffentliche Journis gefunden. Das geht nicht mehr… Jetzt überleg ich echt, ob ich nach 7 Jahren und 17 Journis doch zu „find penguin“ gehe. Das Anlegen meiner neuen Reise hat mich auch gefrustet, bis ich gefunden hab wo man eine Neue anlegt vergingen bestimmt 10 Minuten und 500x falsch klicken. Also alles in Allem wart ihr noch nie die Besten, aber ihr baut leider ab, statt besser zu werden…

Danke für dein Feedback! Der Upload von Videos ist tatsächlich ein Features, das wir aktuell in Arbeit haben und welches wir in nicht allzu langer Zeit ergänzen wollen. Bezüglich der Bildschirmfotos und dessen geringer Auflösung wollen wir, dass diese gezielt inkludiert werden - also von einem eigenen Bildschirmfotosordner aus. Bei Einträgen kannst du selbst jederzeit festlegen, was gemeinsam in einen Eintrag gepackt werden soll - bei irgendwelchen Fragen dazu, schreib uns gerne an support@journiapp.com. Bei spezifischem Feedback zu bestimmten Features bzw. Features, die fehlen, stimme direkt auf https://feedback.journiapp.com/b/journi-blog/ ab.
J’ adore
J’ai utilisé Journi blog cet été. C’est vraiment super!
Je veux faire imprimer mon premier livre photo.
Je croyais obtenir un coupon rabais (30%?) sur la commande de mon premier livre…
Comment puis je avoir ce code de rabais?
Merci!

Road trip
Im using it to document a 3 week road trip. Love it so far, however pity we can’t upload videos or screenshots…
Also I travelled by ferry (not aeroplane) and could not include the ferry trip. Maybe things that could be added?
Really enjoying it otherwise.

New update has ruined the app!
No longer works the same. Can’t edit saved posts, timeline jumps around and the map function no longer takes you to the corresponding post.
