Why must there be a price to all things good?
Cute Idea but disappointed
My first impression was very positive, I loved the theming, the concept, and everything about it. I made my first journal and was excited to make my garden. When i came back another day and went to journal, I was prompted with the fact I had ti pay for a subscription to continue my journaling. This made me super sad. I understand having a subscription for features within the app, but a journaling app should allow you to journal for free, even if its limited to features. I cannot justify the price. I hope you guys find a way to make the journaling free, as it is a very cute app.
Nothing in free tier
Definitely not worth the price

Disappointed

Hi there This is Alec, the dev behind One Year. Appreciate you taking some time to drop some thoughts our way. Really sorry to see you felt like there wasn't enough information around how the free vs paid structure works. Honestly, I'd agree with you, and it's something we work on every update to make way more clear! I just want to clarify what One Year offers: Free - some widgets, daily mood tracking, multiple device syncing Full Access - all widgets, daily journaling with images & mood tracking, multiple device syncing We put a ton of work into this app, and it supports multiple families, but at the end of the day we would love for people to just use it :). With that said, I'd love to drop you free access for a while. If you're interested, drop me an email at alec@wndn.studio. Thanks again for dropping some thoughts. Hope to talk soon. Alec

Hi there! This is Alec, the dev behind One Year. Tysm for dropping some thoughts for us! Always extremely helpful. We offer 2 different free trials 3 days for the weekly subscription and 7 days for the other ones! But, I do get wanting to use the app more to see if it's something you'd use long term. I'm more than happy to drop you a free month to see how it feels! If you're interested just drop me an email at alec@wndn.studio and I'll get you hooked up :). Again, thanks for the thoughts. Hope to hear from you soon! Alec
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this journal
such pretty graphics!
Unable to use :(
I installed the app and it allows me to plant the seeds but the moment I click on ‘tap to add first memory’ the app just shuts?

Hi there! This is Alec, the dev behind One Year :). Tysm for dropping this our way, though it would be suuuuper helpful if you could send me an email at alec@wndn.studio with what's going on! I'll make sure to get you sorted ASAP. Tysm again! Alec
Let down by the need to pay after one entry
Its pretty sad that they showed it as “free” and then this happens.

Hi there! This is Alec, the dev behind One Year :). Thanks for dropping some thoughts out our! At the end of the day, pricing is hard lol. We've put a ton of effort and love into this app and really believe it provides such a different experience compared to other journaling apps out there. I do want to make sure people know though: - All of our subscriptions have a free trial. We want people using the app to see if it fits with what they are looking for - We offer a one time purchase, so no need to get a subscription if you don't want - The free version includes some widgets, daily mood tracking, and multiple device syncing Thank you again for dropping some thoughts our way. I'd love to give you full access to the app for a bit! Just drop me an email at alec@wndn.studio. Tysm! Alec
cute, however inefficient
to preface, i really enjoy these types of apps. i think the design of this is really cute and everything about how the app worked and looked really stuck out to me as simple and unique :) i just have one small criticism, and its not about those factors of the app itself. everything, besides this, looks lovely.
there really is not enough provided in the app for one of the two functions— journaling— to be blocked.
i and someone else were excited to use this, but the subscription offers nothing new or interesting, just delays what is given entirely elsewhere; my main gripe is that.
maybe i’d pay for one if it was something new. i’d be glad to, honestly ! but putting a price tag on one of the two options you advertise it for? unfortunately not a good way to go about it
Great app, I’m just sad I can’t use it at the moment :,)
I see that a lot of people seem upset that the app is paid, but I mean, I do get it. Development takes a lot of work, time, effort and funds, so ya gotta make money somehow! I think also that it’s nice that it being paid allows for an experience without harassment from annoying advertisements. As a broke-ahh-no-job high school student, it is a bit disappointing, but ah well. Maybe one day!
As for the app itself, I really like the ui design! it’s simple and intuitive to use. One thing I’d like to note is that it’d be nice if the settings menu was more obvious. At the moment (on iOS) it’s only accessible through clicking the year on the calendar screen, which could be confusing for some!
I really like the doodle illustrations, too. They are soooo cute, and as an artist I appreciate the dedication to make individual drawings for each day of the year! Even tho I can’t journal right now, I like to check in and view what new little surprises have popped up on the year-view! My favourite one so far is the ducky-goose from June 21st 🪿:)
