Falla mucho

No merece la pena pagar la suscripción. Falla cada poco. Se queda bloqueada. Hay que desinstalar y volver a instalar. Entras una vez y se vuelve a bloquear. Lamentable que app de suscripción (y no barata precisamente), le suceda así. Esto, unido a los cambios de proceder de la empresa anteriores, hace que sea preferible mirar otras opciones de app similares. No da para más.

This is so different from any other app I’ve used

I have downloaded so many apps for my business and personal life. This is the best one to integrate everything from my phone to one place. I cannot pictures. Small note reminders challenge is all in one page . I love it ❤️❤️❤️

1 YEAR LATER STILL WAITING MOLESKINE DEVELOPER TO RESPOND ON ALL MY LOST INFORMATION!!!!!

i've been waiting for the past year for the app developer to explain how can i retrieve all my information from the moleskine journey old version!!!!!

Simple journaling app suitable for everyone.

I had gripes with the app previously. I complained. The developers listened and updated the app. That alone gives me confidence in the app and its future.

As someone who used to use physical Moleskine notebooks a lot, finding an app from this company while looking for journaling app alternatives was a pleasant surprise. I tried it, liked it for its simplicity, but I also really disliked how there were so much potentials in the app that were conceptually right but not well executed. So, I gave feedback on the app about what I liked and disliked about it.

I honestly did not think the developers would care about my feedback. Most do not care, to an extent. I’m sure there are plenty of users who probably raised similar feedback too. Hence, it is a pleasant surprise to see them making an effort to give users a better experience on their app by improving and updating it.

At this moment of review, the app is great for simple needs. Nothing too complex, easy onboarding for new users too. I really love the minimal, yet customisable, aspects of the app that sets itself apart from most journaling apps out there. Sure, there are still a few things that can still be improved, but I understand the developers are still working on updating their app for a more efficient and enjoyable journaling experience.

I look forward to the future updates, as well as the longevity of using this app as my go-to journaling app.

Would not open.

Maybe eventually it would, but 5 min is long enough to wait for a simple journalling app to open. dumped it.

😙

К сожалению в России теперь нет возможности оплатить подписку.

Response from developer

Thank you for contacting us and reporting this issue. Please install the latest version present on the App Store (0.220316.190) and let us know if the app works as expected.

Enhancing the iPad Journal Experience with Apple Pencil Support

The app works well as a journal and provides a smooth experience for organizing thoughts and daily entries on the iPad. However, adding dedicated Apple Pencil features would make a significant difference. Supporting handwriting, sketching, and direct annotation within entries would make journaling feel more natural and flexible, especially for users who prefer writing by hand. These enhancements would elevate the app and help users fully benefit from a more immersive digital journaling experience.

1 YEAR LATER STILL WAITING MOLESKINE DEVELOPER TO RESPOND ON ALL MY LOST INFORMATION!!!!!

I am so disappointed on the moleskine journey life planner team!

It has been 1 YEAR since the new "journal" update launched and 1 YEAR of me unable to access all my information that took me 5 years to create and enter in Journey Life Planner app.

I have been trying to retrieve my information for the past 1 YEAR and haven't been able to, there is clear response from your team regarding when I am going to be able to access all my information, I have been paying the premium version of this app since Summer 2020 and it's unacceptable and insane that now all my information cant be seen nor access on my endx

This has been driving me insane because all my routines, finances, home expenses, expense reports, future goals, schedules, calendar, etc etc etg everything was entered in this app, and now i cant believe I am not getting any answers from the developer, nor information on future updates.

All I get is 10% loading for hours, days and weeks, and nothing loads on the "Your Data from Journey" portion, it just doesnt work.

I truly need help from someone or if there is an online database where I can just access all my information and download it to use in other apps that are more reliable.

Please, please, please let me know at your earliest convenience, I would like to use all this information to reorganize myself for the upcoming year, I have been I have lost so much important information entered in your app and the least you can do for a customer that has been loyal for 5 years, is give me my information back or allow me to retrieve it.

Lost all my journal activity

I’ve been using and paying since 2022. Just opened the app for the first time in a few months and everything is gone. Great. The catharsis of writing about my dog passing away is lost. Thanks Molskine, I won’t be renewing

Pls make entry list view

I like the app my only thing is like others have mentioned, you can’t easily see a list of previous entries anywhere, and an indicator on the month view would really help too. This should be a basic feature and this is why other apps are better. I love the simplicity and modern feel of other Moleskine apps like Timepage and Actions which I pay for and use, but this one lacks that simplicity and therefore modern feel also. Please give us some more features. I feel like this all-in-one feel is great and there aren’t many apps like this one, but the old version i have to say I loved more because past entries were easily accessible in a timeline on each journal/note/ etc. Give us something like this! Would love an upgrade to a more modern feel as well because this app can be so much more beautiful like other Moleskine apps and useful. Agree that the old version was better, it was my go-to app and this is sorry to say, like a down grade in ways. Give us something better than the previous and current version and I’ll keep paying and appreciating.

Leider mit jedem Update schlimmer

Nach dem letzten Update funktioniert der Texteditor nur noch, wenn er gerade Lust hat. Der Button zum automatischen Einfügen von Datum und Uhrzeit funktioniert entweder gar nicht, oder er fügt es gleich 10 mal ein, meist sogar noch in einem anderen Notizbuch, in dem man gerade gar nicht arbeitet.
Der Verlauf war zuvor schnell aufrufbar, so hatte man schnell eine gute Übersicht. Jetzt muss man den kompletten Verlauf exportieren.
Wer plant so was eigentlich? Und wird das update vor Veröffentlichung eigentlich mal getestet? Qualitätskontrolle? Alles unterirdisch.

Confusión con la página web

Moleskine diario, NO ES, Moleskine journey. Hace un año sacaron una actualización pero la app cambió totalmente. Sin embargo, sigue apareciendo en la página web con el antiguo nombre y con el antiguo logo. Esta versión de diario ha perdido la ensencia fundamental de journey. Y es una pena porque era una aplicación muy buena. De todas maneras, mantuvieron las reseñas de journey. Eso da a confusión, por favor, actualizar las cosas. Sino parecería que nos estáis intentando engañar.

Muito bom mas precisa melhorar em alguns pontos.

Apesar de ser de fato um excelente Journal, ainda sinto falta da possibilidade de adicionar fotos e localização exatas no momento das entradas do diário como acontece com o app da apple. Além de poder usar o recurso da Apple Pencil no iPad para poder escrever a mão.

Not the Moleskin :(

It’s as far from Moleskine as it could possibly be. Registration. 7 screens of allow this allow that etc. Worst experience in note taking i ever had

Response from developer

Dear bashful_fruit, thanks for your feedback. Please rest assured that we are actively working on a new version of the app that will address these issues and make it possible to access your data more reliably. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding while we finalize this release. Thanks.

WORST APP EVER

I spent hours customising this to be perfect for me and the app has deleted all of my past entries and my future activities I’ve set !!!! Sooooo annoying I want my money back

Journal works really bad

I’ve just started to use the Apps Journal and Planner.

The planner works OK; room for improvement, but it is OK.

The Journal… works terrible. The App crashes really often (and need to close and open again. It is imposible to use one of your photos as a daily background (they are usually not founded; sometimes the most recents photos are captured if you are lucky). Also, if you are lucky, you can upload one photo you took this day to add to your section “add a picture “. Often the days before the current day turn “white” and you need to restart the App. Habit trackers? Don’t know that exist… Terrible experience… I don’t get la idea: if it is to write something everyday in the journal is ok if that works; but maybe you need to avoid saying that you can “upload pictures” when this clearly doesn’t work; or track habits … in a nonexistent system for that… And overall and more important the App doesn’t crash continuously. Frustrating (and no useful ) experience 😖😠😩

Update

Самое ужасное обновление. Отказываюсь от многолетней подписки. Уничтожили лучший планер.

Someone ruined the app

This used to be my go to app for taking notes. Now it’s incredibly difficult to use. I spent so much time learning how to used the previous version. Poor decision.
