### 5/5 — I love it

*2021-08-15*

I love the simple format! the only thing I want to suggest is adding photos and being able to scroll while you write so you can see what you’re writing! Thank you ❤️

### 5/5 — perfect

*2020-09-24*

super simple space to throw down any ideas and exactly what i was looking for!!

### 4/5 — Needs a scroll function

*2020-02-16*

I love this app but have to keep my posts short because the window won’t scroll. The text becomes hidden behind the keyboard and so I can’t see what I’m typing. Other than that, it’s perfect for my needs.

### 5/5 — Thought organizer

*2018-04-19*

Perfect for how I actually think! I can add what I’m thinking and just categorize it as I go. Then I can look at my streams and see it all at once or just certain things. Seriously brilliant.

One suggestion: give me a way to add images to this! Basic pictures would help so much!

### 3/5 — Backup and sync

*2018-03-04*

Love this app but haven’t determined how to back it up.  Can we have iCloud back up and ability to sync with our iPhones?

### 5/5 — I love this journal

*2018-01-04*

This is by far the best journal going.
iCloud sink is all it needs. Karen, where is the sync.

### 4/5 — Simplicity

*2017-01-10*

I really like the simplicity of this app. I had spent considerable time looking for an an app that would suit my needs while travelling, (most other apps were way to complicated) then I found this app which, which turned out to be perfect for me. I primarily use it as a travel diary or to jot down things I see or want to record while traveling, suits me perfectly.

### 5/5 — Change your life!

*2015-06-25*

Listen to Jim Rohn, download this app & your life while be transformed.  Well done!!! Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — Nice !

*2015-06-01*

What a great design for journaling, developing ideas or just keeping track of things. You list your areas of work or interest and then can build a stream of commentary for each one of them. You can pull them up individually or 2 or more together. The UI is excellent and ap works great. 5 stars !!  I would like this on a cloud somewhere so that I can add from multiple device. Feel quite sure this will happen in development. Maybe at least downloadable to Dropbox.  Thanks !
