You have to pay for it

I think that silly. You are putting down thoughts

Perfect journal

If you’re looking for an app where you can keep a journal daily, this is it.

Good but could be better

Switched devices and cannot 'access previous entries

BAD

Really bad I mean really really bad

Worst app ever

It’s so hard to write with a pencil. I know a Apple Pencil and I can’t even get it to work and yeah, so it’s still worst app ever I do not recommend it.

Horrible

I was in love with this app and wrote 2 huge journal entries. Fast forward to today I go to write and turns out I have to pay for more than 2 entries

So far so good

Works as intended. Wish the background lines were a little more distinct.

Simply and useful

Very useful to use

Great for daily brain dumps!

4.95 stars!

I love this app for my daily morning pages & stream-of-consciousness journal wanderings.

I started using it because I was looking for an alternative to paper while I’m traveling. Using this app on the iPad with a Paperlike cover & Apple Pencil gives me the same feeling as writing on paper. And I love it!

The only thing that’s “missing” is different pen colors (I’d like to be able to highlight or note things when I review entries later). But all around, it fills the need I have to write out & process my thoughts & emotions every day. Thanks for making a great app!

Apple Pencil

I think it is great if you have a Apple Pencil but bad if you don’t

Could be better

I like that this app is free and I can write my notes like a regular pen and paper but I use this for my school notes and on regular notebooks I can use different pen colors and highlight colors to organize and differentiate my notes. Also, I don’t like how I have to use the dots at the top to find my notes on different dates and I can’t label the notes.

Lefty challenge

I’m left handed and wish there were a way to make the date buttons on the right so I am not constantly bumping them.

Other than that I am happy with the app. But this is not insignificant in that it is very disruptive to the journaling process to keep having to adjust back.

Update soon?

Not great

I have no idea what I paid 8$ for. You just write and nothing else.Maybe I’m missing something.

Completely lost an entry

I was finishing up a LONG entry when my ipad died on me. When I plugged it in and reentered the app, my entry was completely gone as well as the last hour and a half I'd spent writing it.

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
