Update!

Please update the app to have different colors!!!!!

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!

, Love this

So awesome just like a therapist

Hmmmm...

This would have been the perfect app for me, but... The keyboard doesn't appear on screen, so I cannot write (except with my finger - that part works).

Love it but can improve

So far I’m going traditional writing and this app is allowing me to freely do it. I love minimalist and simple. There are a few bugs that when writing after several lines the pencil will not show the actual scribe. Also the lines are too faded specially in dark mode hard to keep writing at night if this is enabled on light and dark mode.

Clean and simple

- I have ADHD so you know I’ve revamped this review 8 times. - - This app is perfect for me because I have ADHD.
- The format is simple and basic
- It works great with the Apple Pencil
- It doesn’t read my palm when I’m writing
- I love the fact that I can journal as much as I need in one day. The other “journal” app only let me have so much space to write, it would stop scrolling so that I can write some more.

I love it. It’s everything I need

Great

Great Concept But Lacking

I really want to use this app, because I love to hand write, but being that I am left handed and the date bar shows up on the left hand side, I keep hitting it while I am writing. Also, it is not tuned in to the apple pencil functionality. Overall, great concept, just needs some minor changes to make it compatible with lefties.

Great concept

I love the natural writing concept here but the ability to export the entries to pdf is pointless if it’s so crammed onto one page that you cannot read it with naked eye.

Good journaling app

Great app. Just wish there was an option for darker lines. And I’d like to turn off night mode.

User friendly

It’s easy for the minimalist and covers the basics for my needs

Does not work, can’t seek help

It’s useless, I paid $9 and I can’t do anything with it. I can’t type or use my Apple Pencil, I am expected to journal with my finger? I want my money back!!! I have no way to even ask for help.

Perfect app 🤩

This is the best app you can put anything you want on the journal and you can lock the journal just for you to unlock if it’s to personal 😜 you are able to draw on it also just like either other journals you can put decoration all around your writes you can draw any time any day you can literally draw anything that you don’t want anyone else to know and lock it right up ( THIS IS A SIGH TO GET THIS APP ASLAP ) !! 🥳🥳🥳😎😎

Minimal

Minimal, easy, and I can actually write like a paper journal with my iPad and pencil. Great app

Too good to be true

it was perfect to hand write but after 2 days you have to pay for it, not worth it in my opinion and i wish i would have known that sooner

Journaling without paper

I’m loving it. Would love to be able to save or print the entire journal. Currently, unless I’m doing it wrong, I can only save one day at a time.

Love this app, just 2 notes

This is worth the fee and exactly what i was looking for!
My only 2 notes are that it would be great to have a 2 finger tap to undo and 3 finger tap to redo.
I’d also like to see a pen-only feature where my hand/fingers won’t get in the way of my writing - its very annoying to have my text be auto-selected just because my palm grazes the screen.

Other than that, this rocks! Perfect for the person who wants a no frills basic journal.

Developers, make it happen!
