Junk journaling as an app

This app is exactly how it’s advertised. I love how easy it is to use, and I love how I can add books, movies/tv shows, music, etc.

This is such a great app that takes away the social pressure of posting, allowing you to truly create. I hope to use this app forever.

Also: I love that there isn’t any money grab aspects. No ads, no subscriptions, all of it is free and accessible.

exactly as expected

it works. and I mean that happily - does exactly what it looks like it does and it works! I think the description undersells it tbh, but it’s really a great app. i am big on journaling but usually hate using my phone, this is both an amazing supplement and alternative. i hope it remains this straightforward and doesn’t get overloaded with a bunch of extra features for the sake of having “more.”
only thing i’d ask is when you take a picture in the app, it automatically saves / is able to be saved. there is a “save” button but haven’t been able to get it to actually save.

Junk Journaling Almost

Really really fun and such a good way to memorialize each small moment and pictures just for yourself.

Can’t wait for other updates and to keep playing around with this app

i love it… almost.

This app is amazing. The simplicity makes it super easy to quickly hop in every day and add something without it feeling tedious or like I have to hop between a thousand menus. But at the same time, the simplicity feels like its biggest drawback.

8.5/10

Best sandbox journal ever

Been following this app for a bit, so glad to see it finally out! Hands down the most freeing way I have ever journaled before and is so easy to use.
Only suggestion is I wish there was a second confirmation before deleting a photo from a months board.
