GitJournal

I use it everyday. For the most part, it’s simple and it works. Just like git.

First I have to pay $2.99 for the app, then I still have to pay for features. Worse, you are limited to only one git repository with the „free“ version that you had to pay for. App isn’t impressive. If I change a file it’s unclear how to see the git diff or see the git log for a file or everything. Can’t make sure I only commit before reviewing the changes. It’s also has some bugs like when flipping to iCloud as storage. It flips back and the files are no longer visible and git is no longer configured.

Pros: - Love the idea. Cons: - Have to pay in-app to unlock all features - Buggy basic functionality (eg. Notes titles)

I paid for the app. I paid for the in-app purchase for the pro version. Now when I reinstall the app it doesn’t restore my purchase! This needs to be fixed because that in-app purchase was $35!

The app is slow to load links to other notes. It hangs in the middle of the sliding animation while waiting for the next one.

Love the product and exactly what I was looking for!!!!!

Not buying

The perfect smart device companion for anyone who keeps their notes in a git repo. If you don’t always have access to your computer when you need to create or review your text notes, this app handles those situations flawlessly. This launches faster than most syncing note editors, and the interface is intuitive and clean. After testing editing on multiple devices with a git repo on a personal server in an attempt to stress test it, all interactions were reflected correctly in the git history. I could not be more pleased with this app!

I have been looking for a git-based not-taking app for iOS for a long time. So glad this is finally here. GitJournal does a great job making the commit/push/pull process a seamless “sync” like other note apps.

Lovely app haha
