Love this app! Just one thing…

I love this app. Just started using it. But I don’t know if this is the point of the app being it a minimalistic journal, but I’d love to see a few options for colors (red, blue, green). Might be nitpicking, but other than this app is great.

Boring

It’s a lil plain and simple but i guess that’s because i have the free version. Other than that, it does its job allowing me to journal daily

Great for journaling

Love this journal. Use it daily. Not great for left handed people though. I keep bumping the dates on the left side. Also be nice if it had a feature to block out the blue light. Overall, 4 stars!
