Day One Journal: Private Diary

I use DayOne every day. I love being able to record milestones and special events having my text logged with pictures, locations and even the weather on that day. It’s a joy to work with. All round brilliant.

I've been using this app for many years, and things have not always been this way. But lately, whenever I write to support I am getting a generic reply that has no relation to my issue whatsoever. What's worse, the replies always start with "we only offer support to premium users on this channel", which is great and all, but I am a premium user and I said so at the very beginning of my email (based on previous experience, sigh). I currently have no idea how to get actual support for any issue, which is extra sad because it really didn't use to be this way; up to a point support used to be friendly and responsive, and now it's pretty much the opposite of that.

I’ve been a plus/premium user for around 6 years and have always liked the app. However, I’ve recently discovered many older entries are now missing the photos/videos I added. Very frustrating, as it would take hours and hours to go through them all, find the correct media again and re-add them. It seems that Day One’s servers are not very reliable.

I have been using this app for 8 years now, It is very user friendly, elegant yet has a lot of options for everyone.

This was a great app with great options. My issue: 1. I bought this app for my laptop and my mobile device. Now they are into subscription based and keep taunting you for the options they put behind this subscription. Like audio notes. I have 2. Pencil implementation is not greatly done. I am into writing journals with my pencil and this is just not that easy in day one. 3. I believe that they did build a great app in the time, but did not move with the time as we are in now. - Journaling needs to be possible as a notebook and you should be able to easily use the pencil to draw. - Moving towards subscription with no real on the edge development other then just updating it is not a good model for me. Sadly I am moving away from this app as for me GoodNotes fits better into this. All the automation I used to log things into me day one with IFTTT is not longer something I need and the app feels outdated. The app to me feels like they are keeping the lights on and cashing in on the subscription. But I do not see them moving forwards. Sorry.

Best journaling app I’ve ever used!

It is very good journal.

Great app would love to see a function to save searchable handwritten notes added.

This is a good app. I have been on to the developer several times to fix problems with Apple notes or using Apple Pencil to take notes I thought new version would have it dissatisfied would be excellent if it had this feature

I was using the free version of Day One for years and it was ok but quite limited in what it could do, so recently I updated to Premium and I find it really good. Can take lots of photos, You can many different journals or diaries to record your day. It’s really easy to use and the search will search in all your journals to help you find what your looking for. I’m delighted with it, it works for me Thanks Ray
