### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-12-15, version 1.1.9*

I tried to use this and it won’t let me type anything. There’s also no instructions on how to use the features. Seems like a lot of people have had this issue.

### 1/5 — Did not work

*2020-08-21, version 1.1.9*

The app doesn’t work

### 5/5 — Please Fix Bugs

*2020-06-21, version 1.1.9*

I LOVE this app it’s so important to me but out of no where now it doesn’t let me type on the app!!! Please fix this journal app is my life and how I keep organized it has everything I need on it and where I write everything

### 5/5 — What happened?!!!!

*2020-05-24, version 1.1.9*

Like another reviewer, it was fine. I love love love this app. Now it won’t let me enter anything. I tried to click a link and it gave me the dns error. Is this app shut down? I hope
Not. PLEASE HELP!

### 1/5 — Does not work - will update review when it does

*2020-05-20, version 1.1.9*

Love this app because it has a very simplistic journal feel. I really appreciate the bullet points that you can check off once you’ve completed a task for the day. 

However, as of a few days ago, the app will not let me type anything. I can edit templates and use my keyboard, but beyond that there is nothing I can do. Please fix this bug and I will update my review to 5 stars!!

### 5/5 — Stunning.

*2020-01-06*

This app has helped me gather my thoughts in one simple place - it’s so easy to work and i love the feature of having multiple journals for separate things (i have two, one for present me and one for future advice) 

I fully recommend this app it’s so lovely and trust me, everyone deserves a little time to themselves and this app can provide that for you, whether it’s a simple diary or a quick way to remember a poem you thought of or even a shopping list ! However i do wish you could add photos to the entries that would make the journal much easier (they do say a picture tells a thousand words y’know)

At the end of the day this app is free and extremely useful 
5 stars :)

### 3/5 — :(

*2019-09-27, version 1.1.9*

You have to pay to save and restore your entries and I deleted the app because I got a new phone and I guess I’ll just never be able to look back on my journal entries again :( I guess this is why I should write on paper

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-09-12, version 1.1.9*

It is great for writing personal things and keeping them safe.
Your welcome, 
                          Avery

### 3/5 — Needs to be linkable

*2019-07-17, version 1.1.9*

This app is excellent and simple. The only downfall , which is quiet large, is the inability to sync / transfer journal entries on another phone. For example, my iPhone got completely ruined and I had many entries in the journal; things I’ve forgot. Once I redone loading the app on my new phone, I was unfortunately unable to retrieve my previous entries & have to start back from scratch. I highly recommended a system where a user logs in or is able to save the entries at least.

### 3/5 — Bug needs fixing

*2019-04-27, version 1.1.9*

Normally I would give this 5 stars. I love this app and I never noticed this before but now it’s showing the wrong year for my entries and I can’t find any way to change it from 2018 to 2019. Everything is out of order so until it’s fixed I’m going to have to use another journaling app but I really hope an update comes out with bug fixes because this is one of my absolute favourite apps. Thank you.
