GoJournal: Diary & Planner

The sidebar was working before but it is not working anymore even after reinstallation. This seems to be a development issue where it is not properly coded or tested. Highly disappointed.

They finally updated it so it doesn’t crash with Sequoia. I think im going to start looking for a new journal app. Unreliable.

I’m encouraged by the recent update that fixed the crashing update on iOS 18. Previously I was feeling that the app may have lost the love of its developers as they poor all their energy into Noteshelf 3, their flagship product. I hope they continue to nurture and mature GoJournal by giving it the the attention it needs to flourish. If that means switching to a subscription model, so be it. But please keep GoJournal alive and well. I was really hoping that with iOS 18 they would reveal an exciting new version with some new features and functionality. For example, things like … * Drag and drop of notebooks to rearrange in order we want * Journal groups to organize our journal by area * Drag and drop of list items for managing a daily todo list easier or any type of list (like Noto) * Entry bookmarks / favorites * Custom background themes * Wiki links for developing a knowledge base by linking related entries (like Bear notes) * Trash can for deleted entries * Multiple icons to choose from and support ios18 tinted icons * An Apple Watch app (on par with Noteshelf) for adding audio entries. I guess we will wait and see … Meanwhile, I will hold to the faith that new life will be breathed into GoJournal soon. 🤞 Even though it hasn’t been given the attention it deserves, GoJournal is still one of the best kept secrets in iOS Journaling apps, that’s why I’m bothering to write this review.

Crashing iOS18

I love it so much. I just wish it had gif support. When I add them they don’t play, they stay frozen and show like picture and not a gif.

How can sort to make the earliest appointment first?

Go Journal is great but needs more features. like a photo calendar. i.e. better templates, reminders to journal, basically everything day one has. You might ask. why not just use DayOne?? Its ok feature wise but i dont like being bled out monthly. Go Journal has no subscription fee which is why im using it exclusively. I hope they never go that route. Charge a fair price upfront per user and thats it. Tried evernote, diarium (diahhrea lol umm) , others. Nope stick with Go Journal. DEVs please just keep it bug free and add more cool features to it and youll have a 5 star winner! Thanks

I like the simplicity. If it is not simple then we stop journaling, usually. Creators! Please fix the search to search within the journal selected. I own both go journal and Noteshelf 3

This is such an easy and perfect journal to use. I LOVE it! The only problem I have with it is that it needs to have a way to make it more secure and give the option for a passcode and not just face recognition or fingerprint. I have others that have access to my phone and a passcode would prevent them opening up my journal. Thank you!

I do not like this app at all! I paid for the full version and feel very cheated. The prompt for the daily reflection template has been the same since Aug. 26, it is now Sept. 5. I’ve messaged in the “help” link but no response. This app receives 0 stars from me!
