Day One Journal Reviews

GREAT APP

Familyrootz on

New Zealand

I've been using this app since 1st January 2022 as a daily journal for what I did each day. Havent missed a day since. Great app.

You don’t have to worry about Apple’s Journal-you’re SO far ahead of it!

gyakushkin on

Fantastic app! For my needs it works 100% even in a free version. I LOVE new feature that allows changing the date of your entry right from the main screen, without the need to go into submenus!!! as I often create entries for the future dates and use this app as a “reminder app” of sorts in addition to it’s primary purpose. A+++ work, team! Keep it up and thank you! 😁

Time of entry

Time keeper1 on

New Zealand

Hi, can you please put the time back on the entry page with the date. I’m not sure why the time was removed but I liked having it there so I could monitor how much time I was spending on the entry.

Journal template gone

Mugs79 on

New Zealand

Since yesterday’s update, my most used journal template is not available when starting a new entry (I can find it under manage templates but can’t select it to use). My other templates are there. Seems to be a known problem from January yet it has only just happened to me. Please fix it! And no, I will not be paying for Premium just to use this feature. And my locations change themselves days and weeks after I’ve completed that entry (not related to the update).

Great for business

This app is great. It is easy to use. I am farming and it helps me meet all my recording requirements for compliance across my operation.

New update is not great

lenamasena on

New Zealand

Love the app, but please bring the ‘On this day’ button back to the top menu! Why on earth would you hide it? It’s arguably the most important feature of the app…

Makes journaling easy

K1W1Bill on

New Zealand

Simple format with intuitive prompts. Great app

Rubbish

mike3864974 on

A very basic app. You are not even able to share a journal you create. Instead you have to join the beta version, which isn’t even a beta version; it’s a waitlist for whenever the functionality becomes available. No dates provided. I won’t be renewing my subscription.

Support Apple pen kit

Ian_DGC on

New Zealand

Please add this feature. :)

Perfect journal app

All star purple on

New Zealand

I searched for a long time to find the perfect journal app. An app that was flexible enough so I could set it up exactly how I need it and change it as my needs change. It also has just enough inspiration to keep me going. The books to look back on help me to see how for I have come! Not to mention the gamify quality of continuous days in a row! Absolutely love it! Thank you!
