Check in when you arrive somewhere. Each small record is connected to a time and place, so you can look back later through the calendar, map, and Playback. You do not need to keep a perfect journal.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: taste at none against Shirushi's 2. Shirushi's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
