Bullet Journal Companion

Let me begin this review by stating that I am a fan of the Bullet Journal Method, and I believe this app has potential. The reason I only give it three stars is there are two or three pain points me from using the app regularly. The first is the scanning function. I use the official notebook, but I still find the scanning feature does a poor job of capturing individual pages; as a result, I have found myself taking a photo of the same page four or five times just to get something that looks halfway decent. The other paint point, which relates back to the first, is I’m not confident confiding my scans to the app long-term. I recognize there is a back-up option, but it isn’t clear to me to what extent this relies upon the app in order to be accessible, which means I could lose access to my backups when the app is no longer available (if I have this wrong, I apologize to the app’s developers). Everything else about the app I like. If I offer the above criticisms it is only in the spirit of making a good app better. 🙂

I was billed just from downloading and opening the app. I had the app on my phone for maybe 30 minutes and realized it wasn’t going to meet the needs of what I was looking for but was billed anyways for it. Unfortunately I didn’t realize it was a paid app.

I did postpone my feedback many times, but finally do this now. As for me, this program absolutely useless, with terrible ui/ux design. And if first is my fault - I should not buy it, than second is real problem. Unfortunately, bunch of positive feedback here and few positive review in another places pushed me to buy it. Its a very hard to see the general logic of using and real profit of using as well. Do my daily routine in Microsoft onenote and scheduling in Microsoft Todo.

This is an awesome app as a companion for bullet journal. I struggled a lot with actually using my bullet journal everyday and this app has helped a lot. I do find it frustrating that it will almost always put my evening reflection one day ahead and then not save my photo so I have to go back and add it in again. There is also an “FAQ” section but no really support or trouble shooting about the app in that section. It seems to be generic BuJo stuff.

This is a good support app for bullet journal users. Wish I could view the calendar check in before I do a reflection to see if it’s accurate though. Sometimes it logs to the following day for no apparent reason.

Last year with my Bullet Journal in the dead of winter with the outside bar in front of my apartment I decided to rip out a couple journal entries, feelings of remorse for someone I held deer inside. I regret it, ripping out the entries. I will always write, I will always write with conviction with a hopeful air of authority. With Love.

Before the latest update, I personally used the library to keep pics of indexes of all my past notebooks. The AM and PM reminders worked great and I simply used to check off « yes, I’ve done my reflection » and I could keep a close eye on my consistency. I also used the log and kept up with transferring whatever was on the phone app into the paper journal (before the 72h expiration, as suggested). I simple LOVED the previous version. The latest update added a few extra features , such as storing pics of any/all pages of a notebook. Sounded great in theory. Since that update I’ve been experiencing the following issues (none of them happened before): -App quits unexpectedly (from any screen) -Notifications cards from lock screen links to the wrong page in app when tapping. -WORST glitch: the daily AM and PM reminders do not work well. For instance, completing my PM réflection the evening of Feb 10, the app considers the AM reflection completed ... for the next day Feb 11. Also completing a morning reflection on the app sets the same day’s PM reflection as complete. Like there’s a chronological issue. I use the latest iPhone, purchased only 3 months ago and I have all the latest updates installed in the system. No funny business. All in all, I wish there was a way to go back to the previous version of this app ... before troubles started. It used to be a daily productivity app (I’m a BuJo maniac), but now it’s more a hindrance than anything.

The update has caused me so much frustration. It’s a great idea to capture your pages and back up your journal - if it worked properly! My reflections are always recorded ahead - for example, my morning reflection is recorded as the evening and the evening is recorded as the next morning. The most frustrating part is the fact that I have tried to contact the company in 3 different ways (3 emails, Facebook Messenger and a post on their Facebook page which was declined as a post) and I’ve been ignored. I am deleting this app today.

Very useful on the go, where I’m not always in a position where I can pull out my bujo and my pen to write down things that have crossed my mind!

Keeps glitching back to new quotes. Is no longer working properly.
