Elegant

Both this developer’s apps are simple and clean. Just what you need and no ads or upselling. I’d gladly pay for them if that was an option.

Deleted journal entries?

I love that it’s really simple but as someone else noted it does randomly delete certain journal entries and that’s a bit frustrating because it makes it harder to keep track of my progress, and sometimes those entries are pretty important. That’s my only complaint but it is frustrating sometimes especially when I can’t pinpoint why they’re deleting.

Lately there are problems

I love this app for its simplicity however in the past couple of months (new phone software? I’m not sure), when I make an entry in the journal it gets deleted when I close the app. I often have to rewrite it once or twice. Does t matter if I close the app or power off the phone. It happens either way. As I’m trying to create a more consistent meditation practice I’m trying to keep track of my thoughts and progress. It’s a real bummer when I don’t have the notes to reflect on.

Any thoughts on this? I would give it five stars otherwise.

Good, but needs improvement.

I love the simplicity of the app, and the visual indication of how much time I have left, but there are a couple issues I have with it.

For one, it keeps randomly deleting my notes, which is getting increasingly frustrating. I’ve tried using another simplistic meditation app, but there’s no note function.

The other problem is that this app doesn’t pair with Apple Health, a feature that would’ve been nice to have.

I’ve noticed that the last update was a year ago. I hope the developer(s) haven’t forgotten about this app, as I can’t find a decent enough replacement.
