Day One Journal Reviews

App was great- now i cant open and cant get an answer from developers!!

You were terrific and now I cant update- app has frozen mid auto update.Ive been patient- issue has gone on for over a week .Ive tried all troubleshooting that is recommended- cant even reload the app!!More importantly your failure to respond says you dont care!!I would like a. Partial refund

Love the app but dislike how I now have to pay to see what I’ve posted

I use this app frequently not everyday but days when I feel I need to write something. Imagine how I felt when I could no longer access any of my posts unless I pay $55.99 a year, that’s probably US$. I had no warning this would happen so I’m extremely disappointed with the makers of this app.

Deal Breaker

Forget it if you want to output your entries in anything other than chronological order (oldest to newest). If you need to output them from newest to oldest, which a lot of people would want to do, you won't be able to do it. Wish I'd known. Spent huge amount of time making records that are now pretty much unusable. Can't understand why the sort order should be so rigid.

I never enjoyed journaling until I found day one joirnal. It’s easy to use. The only thing missing in this app is the security feature before opening the app.

Awesome app

Can we add colors to the fonts? It would be great if we could write in different colors.

Subscription plans with different prices for same amount of time?

Day One Premium (1 Year) plan shown 5 separate times under the in-app purchase section, with different prices but I’m not seeing an explanation as to what is different from one to the other. App is OK. I appreciate being able to also access via web browser.
