Over packed with features and has a bit of learning curve. But once you get a hang of it, its pretty awesome. ### 5/5 — Truly amazing *2026-04-16, version 10.3.58* This app is a game-changer and worth the time to learn how to use it. I love this app and think it’s amazing… and coming from me, that means a lot because I’m VERY picky about what apps I’ll use. I also tend to ditch apps that are a challenge to learn. Not this one. Totally WORTH IT! ### 5/5 — Great organizational tool! *2026-04-02, version 10.3.58* Absolutely love it! Browser and iPad has slight technical problems but phone works perfectly! Dev is responsive on his FB group. It’s very customizable. Projects/goals/tasks, sessions/appointments, calendar integrations, quick journal entries, timelines, time blocks… They have a short few part series explaining how to do some stuff. I have my whole semester planned out with my assignments! ### 5/5 — The only all in one app that makes sense for me *2026-03-28, version 10.3.46* Let’s be honnest, it does have a learning curve. BUT, once you get the hang of it, it’s a powerful tool. You can make it as simple or as complex as you need, you can link things together, organize your day in a way that makes sense for you. It has the good points of a physical bujo with the advantages of digital planning. Just enough customization to make it your own, but not too much that you end up spending more time of beautifying the app instead of actually using it. When I first tried it a while ago, it had its fair share of bugs and limitations, but the dev is suuuuupee nice, listens to the users, is open to suggestions and in a very short amount of time, everything was fixed and features were added or got better. He’s also quick to reply if you need help with the app. I’d suggest taking time to slowly figure out the app and setting it up step by step until you’re familial with it and only then, make the jump to using it as your main system. Otherwise you’ll feel overwhelmed and pass on this awesome app. ### 3/5 — Abstürze *2026-03-27, version 10.3.46* Nach wenigen Tagen nur noch Abstürze. Sowohl auf den IPAD als auch den IPhone. Scheint mit dem Sync zu tun zu haben. Habe keine Lösung. ### 5/5 — MELHOR aplicativo *2026-03-06, version 10.3.44* não é nada intuitivo, vale o tempo aprendendo porque dividiu a minha vida em duas: antes do journalit e depois do journalit recomendo fortemente 10/10 ### 5/5 — تطبيقي الحبيب الابدي *2026-02-10, version 10.3.40* 🙏شكرا لكل تطوير تسوونه لنا فيه 💘 وشكرا لدعمكم اللغه العربيه ### 4/5 — Good Journal/planner app *2026-02-01, version 10.3.38* The developer is very active and responsive to suggestions/feedback. The app has become more helpful as I incorporate it and make a daily habit of using it. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2026-01-09, version 10.3.26* Thank you for making the app of my dreams. ### 5/5 — Amazing app!! *2026-01-04, version 10.3.25* I’m giving this review from an objective point of view. I think this app is amazing!!! Has all the required features for free and the pro is reasonably priced. The app interface is beautiful and everything works perfectly. I will always be more than happy to see how this app progresses however given how little time I get I think I just need a simple write down journal instead of something which is a total powerhouse. ### 5/5 — All-in-One App *2025-12-31, version 10.3.24* I was looking for a journaling app. What I got was a second brain. Not only can I journal, I can schedule my calendar, to do, track projects, habits, see stats, see a progress of my day in a gorgeous timeline view. The app looks great on my iPhone, iPad and MacBook. There’s a dedicated Facebook group and Sub Reddit, where the Developer answered my questions. And a lifetime subscription option. Yes, please! ### 5/5 — This app is genuinely exceptional. *2025-12-31, version 10.3.23* It’s honestly hard to wrap my head around the fact that this has been designed, built, and continuously refined by one developer over the past 8+ years (since 2017). The consistency of updates, the depth of thought behind the system, and the long-term sustainability planning are on a level I’ve rarely seen—even from teams with far more resources. The app is cross-platform, end-to-end encrypted, and lets you store as much data as your iCloud or Google Drive allows (your choice). The built-in guide is clear and thoughtfully structured, making a powerful system feel approachable instead of overwhelming. Support is available, responsive, and clearly handled by someone who deeply understands both the product and its users. And then there’s the documentation and education: the developer, Hai Nguyen, runs a YouTube channel where he personally creates detailed walkthroughs—animations included—in English, despite being based in Estonia. That alone represents an insane amount of effort for a solo developer, and it shows how much care has gone into this project. To my knowledge, there simply isn’t another app in this category that matches it. As a PKMS (Personal Knowledge Management System) / life organizer, it’s fully integrated in a way that apps like Things 3 or Sorted (both excellent, team-built products) never quite achieved for me. I almost never write reviews, and I rarely make in-app purchases—but after just a few days of use, the potential here was immediately obvious. I bought the full version without hesitation. I purchased it at the end of 2025 and am genuinely excited to plan and journal all of 2026 with it. It’s honestly wild that this app only has a couple hundred reviews on the App Store. If you use it, you should leave one. This kind of craftsmanship deserves recognition. Hai Nguyen is an absolute legend. TL;DR: One of the best personal knowledge management and life-organization tools I’ve ever used—built by a single developer with extraordinary vision and execution. — A very happy organizer ### 4/5 — Great so far, but... *2025-12-29, version 10.3.22* It's exactly as advertised; an app where you can do everything related to organizing and planning your life. I haven't had a ton of time in it yet and am still gaining my bearings on many of the features, though I do wish there were different sizes for the widgets on iOS. That's the only thing that I'd change, but everything else has been great so far! ### 5/5 — Swiss Army knife *2025-12-08, version 10.3.20* I used to used separate apps for journaling, task management, knowledge management, habits, scheduling, but now i just use this one tool. Everything in one place and it’s been a lifesaver for me. ### 5/5 — Changed my life *2025-12-08, version 10.3.20* I love this app. I was looking for something like this for years but nothing worked like I hoped. Thankfully a work colleague recently put me onto Journal it! and it’s been a total game changer. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Hai for a fabulous app 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Dev is a mind reader probably *2025-12-06, version 10.2.11* Somehow the developer got inside my brain and made the exact app I have spent years looking for. The only downside is that I found this after my undergraduate years. ### 5/5 — The best so far *2025-11-07, version 10.2.11* I keep coming to this app for my journal ### 5/5 — Best organizing app ever *2025-09-12, version 10.2.11* I love everything about this app but specially the fact that I can do everything and I don’t need multiple apps for trackers, journaling, goals, etc. I also appreciate the fact that is always improving and you can always find new ways to use it. ### 5/5 — The best app ever!! *2025-09-09, version 10.2.9* I do not have words to describe it but it is amazing to use it. A lot to learn but enough to manage all my needs. They work hard to make it all inclusive. ### 5/5 — Meilleure application pour tout noter *2025-09-05, version 10.2.7* Cette excellente application, fiable est la meilleure pour noter et gérer nos activités, nos souvenirs au jour le jour. La mise à jour récente apporte un peu de complexité dans la gestion de celle-ci. Pas toujours facile de s’y retrouver tant les possibilités sont complètes, malgré la vidéo explicative en anglais. Je pense qu’il s’agit d’une question d’habitude pour s’y adapter mais au début c’est un peu déroutant car elle est plus orientée sur l’emploi du temps que sur le journal. Néanmoins, hautement recommandable. Beau travail des concepteurs ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buggy *2024-07-14, version 9.6.6* Have many bugs and issues using this app, black screens etc. ### 1/5 — Impossible à utiliser *2023-09-19, version 8.12.6* Impossible d’utiliser l’application, il plante et se ferme automatiquement. 0 étoile. ### 1/5 — Charged year’s subscription at beginning of “free trial” *2022-10-17, version 8.1.1* Signed up for $19.99 yearly subscription which was advertised with 14-day free trial. Used the app for 10 minutes before deleting. When I went into my Apple settings to discontinue the trial, I discovered I was already charged the $19.99. Emailed the developer and haven’t heard back yet. ### 1/5 — Verschlüsslung? *2022-10-11, version 8.1.1* Verschlüsslung darf kein Premiumfeature sein! ### 1/5 — Impossible *2022-09-28, version 8.1.0* I started using this app in 2020, albeit inconsistently. It was clunky then—far from intuitive. Now it is worse. In order to use the app that I purchased I am required to either allow access to my Google information or be lost in the never ending sign in circle. Because I have paid money for this app and have tried to use it, I hate to lose the investment of time and money, but don’t make the same mistake I have made. If you are looking for an app to help you with Journaling, keep looking. ### 1/5 — Only works with google account *2022-09-13, version 8.0.10* This app only allows login with google account sso and only connects to google calendar. You cannot use it with iCloud calendar and if you don’t login with your google account it says you could experience data loss and won’t be able to use the web app :( ### 1/5 — Too easy to delete entry *2022-04-27, version 7.1.7* You think you’re deleting a photo and you’re actually deleting an entire entry that you spent 10 minutes composing. ### 1/5 — ROBO *2022-01-03, version 7.0.9* Es UN ROBO cuando no te deja cancelar la suscripción automática y hace los cobros sin preguntarte ### 1/5 — Pops me out *2021-06-07, version 6.6.3* I was hesitant to give it a change since the user interface of the app doesn’t provide the best user experience, isn’t very friendly. However, I did it, only to experience the most annoying thing an app can do… I wrote an entry, uploaded a photo, pour out my thoughts and suddenly the app closes and I lose everything I had written on. I tried it again, even saving it… but it did the same, popped out and I lost everything again, I am uninstalling this app, it doesn’t work at all. ### 2/5 — Doesn't Work on Phone *2025-05-25, version 10.0.13* I love the app, but it doesn't work on my phone! It keeps saying to update it when no update is available. Unfortunately i'm going to have to find a new planner. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — SAVED MY DISASTROUS LIFE *2026-08-08, version 10.5.36* My life was sooo disorganized. I lost all my to-do’s. I love how i can schedule everything and what i don’t do i can reschedule. I never miss anything. Now i have all my todo’s organized by my personal life, by each client (i’m a freelancer). I’m such a fan! ### 5/5 — Wish There Was a Way to Change “Home” Page Title *2026-07-23, version 10.5.33* I absolutely love this app. I use it as my life processing center to organize EVERYTHING in my life. I just wish there was a way to change the title of the “Home” page it does not impact the functionality of the app. Just would be a great additional update to personalize the “Home” screen title page ### 5/5 — Brilliant app — simple, fast, and genuinely useful *2026-07-13, version 10.5.32* Perfect mix of quick journaling and no‑nonsense task tracking. Clean, great UX, fast, and keeps me organised without any fuss. Love it. ### 5/5 — This app looks promising *2026-07-10, version 10.5.30* I love this app, and learning slowly how to adapt it to my life.. I wished this app had a way to share lists with my friends and family so we can organize and live and coexist together even if it’s a small thing as a shopping list. This would be the one key feature that is truly missing for me. To balance my life and also have a shared life tab/section with my spouse ### 5/5 — I Need Help PLEASE *2026-05-26, version 10.4.9* Love the app and used it for years. Right now it won’t let me use the app because it keeps telling me to “update to the latest version to ensure data integrity”, but when I click the link to the app store it doesn’t show any updates just the button to open the app. I’ve turned my device off and on but it still won’t work. I would really like to access it soon but more importantly I cannot lose the data I have! ### 5/5 — I Love It *2026-05-22, version 10.4.9* This app is amazing. It is a learning car. I suggest looking at tutorials as many times as you need to until you understand it but once you understand it, it will make life so much easier. ### 5/5 — Working on it! *2026-05-21, version 10.4.9* I wanted an app that could be used on android, IOS, and windows. After trying other journals compatible with MSOnenote, this has out beaten them all. Basically working with this app has given me more insight about how to connect everything. Working on it and making it work for me. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly Powerful *2026-05-05, version 10.4.4* There are a LOT of features all packed into this one app, so much that it can be overwhelming. But also a great deal of the app is fully functional with the free version, so you have plenty of time and freedom to figure out everything it does. It is incredibly robust and it definitely seems like they only locked actual premium features behind their subscription, which is a breath of fresh air! It also has a lot of tutorials available to make the most of its many interconnected features. If you end up really liking it, they even have a one-time lifetime purchase option (it’s pricey at $99 but when everything is subscription or nothing, having ANY option to purchase one time and own forever is so refreshing.) ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A true all-in-one life organization and reflection tool *2026-05-02, version 10.4.3* I downloaded Journal it! with a very specific goal in mind—I wanted a simple way to create prompts and templates to support my grief work and mental health journey. Within weeks, it has completely exceeded my expectations and evolved into a full life management system. The functionality is incredibly robust. What started as journaling has expanded into a seamless hub for my calendar, task planning, reminders, and personal organization—across both work and personal life. The ability to create customizable templates and note types has been especially powerful for my therapy work. I can reflect on sessions, complete exercises, and even export my notes as PDFs to share with my therapist ahead of time, which has made my sessions far more productive and meaningful. What truly sets this app apart is its flexibility and depth—you can tailor it to fit exactly how your brain works. It doesn’t box you into a rigid system; it grows with you. With such a flexible and robust tool, there is a slight learning curve, but it’s very intuitive once you get the hang of it. The developer has videos, documents, and feature notes that help you get started with minimal friction. And on top of all that, the developer is incredibly engaged, thoughtful, and responsive. You can tell this app is being built with real care and intention. This is honestly one of the most powerful and thoughtfully designed apps I’ve ever used—and the fact that it continues to improve makes it even more exciting. I wish I had found it earlier. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — THE BEST *2026-05-02, version 10.4.3* This is by far the best, most flexible, comprehensive and all in one planner, journal, organizer ever. Admittedly, it needs a learning curve to figure how all things work but stick to it and pretty soon you’ll have a system that works. They’re also updating the app alot to add more specs to this already powerful app. I do hope they’re able to add in a financial template/ budgeting feature soon! Kudos to the great minds behind this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
