Great app for simple note taking
Great app, like how simple it is for just jotting down notes. I previously rated 3/5 because of no edit and light mode issues but those are fixed in the latest update.
Very cool!.. but right off the bat I noticed an issue.
Hi! I’m writing this review to say that I think this app is very cool. I found it being talked about on Reddit when looking for a Social media type journaling app. If you’re also looking for the same thing, I 100% recommend this app. In fact, I look forward to when I’m able to afford the premium (which you don’t really need to use the app, a for sure positive.)
However, as the title states, there was a feature I noticed was immediately missing.. editing. When you send a “message” so to speak, there is no way to edit it after. I’m glad you can copy and delete them, but being able to edit said “messages” after sending is very vital. I hope to developer adds this at some point, or at least adds it to the list after seeing this review!

Lost all my writing
I wrote to my son on this app for months now and it’s all gone since update. My son died from cot death and I was told it helps to write and now I’ve lost it all.
Good but needs work
Firstly I tried to contact Support and the only option that is provided is using X and that’s just not okay as a lot of us might not use that app so maybe they will see my feedback here?
Difficult to use, lack of features on the free version. I only used a few times then deleted and went elsewhere
Do not recommend

Is there a synch feature?
Just started using the app and so far I'm enjoying the simplicity. I also use Workflowy for a more "outline" structure with indented tabs, etc. But I like the single time line with this app, it's great for mind dumps and idea captures. My only concern: can I synch between my iPad and iPhone? So far it looks like I can only use it separately on each device. I'm constantly bouncing between the two and would like to capture and combine notes from both. Is this a current feature or maybe something that might happen in the future?

Perfect for journaling
I used to write everything in the Apple Notes app, but found it to be sort of tedious. This app is extremely straightforward. It makes writing easy. Well done!

I can’t figure out how to do more than one post a day .
How do you edit a post? I’m on iOS latest version on iPad by the way. And looks like you can only put one photo with a post. It really is extremely basic which I don’t mind and I’m on the three month trial and then I will revert to because I don’t want to pay for something that really doesn’t offer anything extra with the pro option.
I don’t know if this is just a glitch with the iOS version and not to do with the app provider but it is frustrating not being able to edit your journal entries.

Great app!
I’ll be using this app for a bit, I like having one unified space for my brain vomit and being able to tag it logs with things like #thankful or #remember or #todo to quickly recall them later if the timeline gets filled. I also love that you can double-tap to hide the entire timeline except what you’re currently writing for privacy if you’re in public. I do wish that there was some sort of auto-spacing between entries; right now I’m adding a break after every log to get around this but sometimes I forget and my entries end up all clumped together when they shouldn’t be, because the option to edit also seems to be missing (unless I’m missing it).
Update: updating my review because I’ve been using this app for three days and I completely understand the spacing now. My thoughts are grouped by time of day and spaced sort of like discord; if enough time has passed a new timestamp will create a line break. I know the editing feature is coming so I’ll proactively add a star for that lol

Response from developer
Thanks for the review! Yes I use the manual spacing occasionally as well. I didn’t add different block spacing because I want to keep the blocks flowing as sometimes a session can last for a few blocks. I’ll prioritize the editing feature. 🙏
Great app, but no way to edit
Great app, would be nice if there was the ability to edit the content and time of past messages. Also having issues with dark mode - the app resets to light mode every time I open it, even if the toggle in settings is set to dark mode.
Some technical issues
The general features are great and I love the hash tag features and submitting like text messages. Extracting text and classifying has also been pretty easy with some coding. I guess it would be nice if you could export by hashtag. The main problem I’ve had since adding pictures is that now the app often crashes immediately when I open it. Sometimes it works again when restarting my phone. I think I’ll next try deleting the pictures, but that’s a shame. Yes, deleting the pictures worked.
I’ve got one suggestion for a feature: export by hashtag, so you only get the relevant entries.

Love it but
I really like it because it invites me to write without some many distractions that lots of apps have, but would love it to have edit function. Right now I have to delete the note and rewrite it if there's a typo or something I forgot to write and it's not very convenient.
No iCloud Sync?
I’d like to use it on my iPad mini and iPad Air with them syncing between the two. But it doesn’t appear to sync. Tried to contact developer through “X” but did not get a reply.
Perfect minimal journal!
I’ve never been interested in all the scrapbooky side of journaling. As I start to get more into journaling, what I wanted was a simple, elegant, minimal, open and go, no frills journal app. This app delivers just that plus a few handy tools (like the hashtags to organise ideas and the discrete feature is great too) It’s a joy to use! I look forward to many more brain dumpy stream of conscience entries in the future!
(Ps. Feature idea: It would be fun to be able to keep the journal synced between multiple devices, although I understand that means dealing with accounts and I totally get if you don’t want to do that)

this rocks
i love the layout because its like a chat/like twitter and i can finally get a mass amount of thoughts out without getting distracted by other things
Great Daily Journaling App.
I love this app. It’s so streamlined and pretty. I like having a constant flow of entries, and not breaking everything up into individual notes. Great idea. I will absolutely continue to use. Some features that I would love to see added are: A per-entry word count. Basic formatting (italics, and bold) The ability to search by date. That’s really it. Highly recommend this app. Cheers

Simple, efficace
Comme l’indique très bien le développeur dans sa présentation sur son site, tellement d’applications existent pour tenir un journal, mais souvent l’écriture devient vite fastidieuse à cause de l’interface. Ici c’est simple, efficace, et en local. Bravo et merci.
onetime payment preferred
很方便使用，不过既然是离线应用，能否有一次买断的选项呢？
:)

5 stelle, ma non per tutti
TL/DR: ha un approccio molto “nazista” e non consente al momento di cambiare niente delle voci passate (solo di cancellarle). Questa è la caratteristica di base, deve piacere altrimenti non la consiglierei. Per il resto la realizzazione dell’app è esteticamente riuscita, e funziona benissimo. Prima voce di diario:
———
Mi piace molto l’idea alla base di questa app. Non si possono aggiungere voci datate al passato, né si possono modificare quelle presenti (inserite tramite questa app). Tutte le voci vengono presentate una dopo l’altra, e ci si trova sempre in fondo dopo di esse. Si possono anche rendere momentaneamente illeggibili le voci precedenti, forse non tanto per nasconderle a qualcuno vicino in un posto affollato, quanto per nasconderle a te stesso quando stai scrivendo del presente. Mi ricorda una specie di fiume (o “stream”) che non potrai mai più modificare davvero, esattamente come è il passato. È molto limitante rispetto alle altre app che ho provato (o anche un foglio di carta), tanto che pensavo di copiare questo approccio replicandolo in un’altra app, ma poi ho cambiato idea. La tentazione di “modificare il passato” rimane sempre, e le altre app prive di questo approccio ti permettono tutte di tornare indietro, di ravanare nel passato “ordinandolo” in diversi cassetti, o cambiare i cassetti e ricominciare da capo. Anche inserendolo in un sistema di “Zettelkasten” avrebbe avuto lo stesso significato, e forse ancora di più con le visualizzazioni a grafo che facevo in Obsidian, o le idee di data analysis che ogni tanto emergevano, come se potessi trattare il mio diario allo stesso modo delle mie tasse, o files qualunque. Zenjournal non consente nemmeno di correggere errori grammaticali o scelte di parole non esattamente fortunate. Se si sbaglia a inviare una voce, l’unica soluzione (al momento) è quella di copiare l’intera voce, incollarla e modificarla per continuare a scrivere. Naturalmente però la data e l’ora saranno a quel punto quella del nuovo invio. Quindi è una cosa da fare solo se si sbaglia nel “momento presente”, non ripescando voci passate. Ti spinge molto di più a rileggere quello che stai scrivendo, prima di “inviarlo”. Della possibilità di inserire foto forse me ne faccio poco, ma c’è. L’esportazione è possibile, in un .json “proprietario” per il quale credo al momento servirebbe forse uno script Python per cambiarne il formato. Ma uno semplice, e ovviamente è umanamente leggibile in formato di puro testo.
