The only thing that keeps me consistent at journaling

Could be better

The concept is honestly so great. I can’t currently write due to tendinitis and this is a better alternative. It’ss very much book like but my only thing I’m really struggling with is the fact that scrolling to previous pages and back is super hard. I would honestly love to have an arrow to go to the next page instead of scrolling. I dont know if its my computer or what but its honestly a super pain in the butt.

Love it
MelbllllllMelbllllll

good for 2 seconds, then sucks

don’t download this app, you’ll be fooled by how nice it looks and how it feels like you’re writing in a notebook on your laptop, but god forbid you mess up on a word in your sentence and don’t wanna delete the whole sentence, so you click on the word, and SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR ENTIRE ENTRY, you can’t continue with your writing and you have to force quit the app to be able to use it again, and of course, your entry will be gone and not saved. SUCKS.
