Hard to select a single day from the year view

I’m using this app on iPhone 16 and absolutely love it. But while looking back at days in the default year view, I find it hard to select a particular day. I have to click slightly below to where the day touch area is

Hi there! This is Alec, the dev behind One Year :). Tysm for taking the time to leave us some thoughts, and thanks for all the kind words!! So happy you're enjoying the app, and great thoughts. We are working on a new update to resurface memories in a much easier way. If you ever need anything else you can drop me an email at alec@wndn.studio anytime! Tysm again Alec

O preço não é coerente

Achei a ideia muito legal e o aplicativo muito bonito, mas 22,90 por mês é muito salgado só para um aplicativo bonito

Olá! Aqui é o Alec, um dos criadores do One Year :). Muito obrigado por conhecer o nosso app e por todo o carinho!! Só para deixar claro: temos um plano gratuito que permite escrever memórias todos os dias, dá acesso a praticamente todos os widgets, ao relógio de rabiscos e muito mais. Para adicionar imagens / notas de voz / seus próprios rabiscos, é aí que entra o Acesso Completo. Se precisar de qualquer coisa, é só me mandar um e-mail em alec@wndn.studio a qualquer momento! Muito obrigado! Alec

great diary shoutout alec

for a product like this, that is for one use and will likely not be changing much if at all in its future, asking the users to pay for a subscription instead of only having one-time-payment for downloading the app itself is absolutely **annoying and also not true. egg on my face lol !!! love this app and its cute art, and i like to add a picture every day to help chronicle my life ^_^

— TY alec for correcting me idk why i was so mad when i wrote this thats my bad

Yooo. This is Alec, the dev behind One Year. Super sad to see reviews like this, but I wanted to clear a few things up: 1. We do offer a one time payment for the app 2. We are consistently improving / adding things to this app every month 3. We aren't in the business of trying to make a quick buck off someone I totally understand pricing may not work with some people, it's hard times out here. But, I'm always 100% happy to let people use the app for an extended period of time so they can see for themselves the value they will get out of it. Hope this clears some things up, and more than happy to chat more if you want to drop me an email at alec@wndn.studio. Tysm! Alec

$$$

I really really love the concept of the app, paired with the aesthetic, I genuinely am in love with it as a concept but as an incoming uni student I don’t think I can really paying a set amount of money to this. I would’ve considered the lifetime payment but omg it’s so expensiveeee :(. I understand the devs need the money to keep this running but could you guys please introduce a freemium with at least the ability to add images? I really love the app, I even tried looking for free or more affordable alternatives but none really live up to this. 😓

love this app, use it daily — just one recommendation

use one year every single day and especially love the ability to display the yearly mood colours in a screenshot; this is super helpful as someone who documents their mood for certain health appointments! the only thing i would want added to the app is the ability to change the mood colour palette/change it within the app as the middle (which i use as neutral) and the second to right (which i use as positive-neutral) are very similar in colour when displayed in the full calendar display which makes it difficult to distinguish between the two! this also might help certain colourblind people. otherwise the app is so great and easy to use and i appreciate the work you guys do, especially with a small team.

Hi there! This is Alec, the dev behind One Year :). Tysm for the love and support — means a TON to us. So cool to see you are really using the mood tracking daily. That's one of the features that I use pretty heavily as well haha. I just added the suggestion to my list. We've been going back and forth on different color palletes in general for the app, so would be really cool to see if we maybe start with just the mood colors! If you need anything else / have some more feature ideas just drop me an email at alec@wndn.studio :). Tysm again! Alec

Loving it!!!

Really been in love with this app, wish i could discover it earlier so i can have garden full!!

Just two features that i really hope can be added:

1) Search function - can search up certain word and it will show all journals that have that word

2) Download/export one journal - right now i can only download everything at once

Thanks again for creating this beautiful app :)!!

A fab app with a unique way to document mood and memories. A very creative way to remember things we often forget as life keeps going.

Truly the only journaling app that I’ll use

Never has journaling felt so easy for me!!! I used to be an avid journaler but most apps are so complicated and give such a small scope into your entries that I would lose track of everything.
The user interface is so easy to navigate and I’m obsessed with the tiny garden that appears as you journal daily. I have a mood disorder and now it’s easier than ever to get a glimpse at how I have been doing, and to catch patterns.
I wish there were more customization options, like options to change the color of the font or the background of the app, or the color of the flowers, but I love this app. I recommend it to all of my friends and show them my little garden all the time <3

Hi!! This is Alec, the dev behind One Year :). Tysm for trying out our app and leaving such an awesome review (this is put on my moms fridge worthy haha). I hear you on the customization! Funnily enough, there are a ton moving parts around it to still make it feel simple + easy to use. More than happy to chat more about it whenever! Just drop me an email at alec@wndn.studio anytime :). Tysm again - we appreciate you! Alec

Signing option

I see this app on social media and I really like the idea. But when I download it I realized for signing I must use my apple account and unfortunately I can’t use it for some reason.
After my review the developer team reached me and they really try to solve my problem but it was not from them. But I really like their behavior and support too.

best digital diary ever

one year is the most intuitive and aesthetically-pleasing digital diary. i love how fun and easy it is to save a memory. my fave part is that every diary entry = a flower in your garden — such a cute incentive to build a habit of writing daily :)

Love my memory garden!

It’s so satisfying watching my memory garden grow and the haptic feedback it gives. Perfect for my ADHD brain! I gave it 4 stars only because I wish there was an easier way to recall or be reminded of memories. You can add a widget for photos, but nothin in app. Other than that, it’s lovely!

Why must there be a price to all things good?

Love this app. And I was actually really stoked to be able to effortlessly journal my days. But the fact that I literally can’t do ANYTHING past the first day sucks. I get the devs have to make money too but like I can’t even write stuff down? Like idk. Definitely can’t keep the app anymore tho. :/

CAChile.... Anyways
