Bullet Journal Companion

I really really love all the features! I can’t tell you guys worked hard on this and I use it anytime I’m temporarily away from my journal. I also love that I can keep a digital record and backup of my bujo here. But is there ANY way I can change the background color? I’ve been through all the settings and I can’t change it from this light blue which creates a really low contrast situation. The photos here show a nice darker green, and man I would love to be able to change the background or at least select dark and light modes. PLEASE HELP. I already need glasses, but changing the background would do wonders.

Update July 2024 This app has now become unusable for me. If I try to add a journal to my library with previous dates it simply won’t work. I pick a starting date and it’s fine. When I go to pick an ending date it locks up when I try to scroll prior to 2022. I’ve completely deleted the app several times, restarting my phone but nothing works. At this point I would recommend using a good scanner app and just scan in your notebooks. The rest of the content in the app is already available for free on the BJ website. Extra features like on the go logging have an annoying 72 hour auto delete. I understand the goal was to get you to migrate to the journal but the time should be adjustable. I would love to go for a week vacation and not have to bring my journal and risk losing it. But the 72 hour limit means I can’t use this app daily to log my vacation. I recommend using Notes, Apples built in journal app or DayOne when a digital solution is needed. Original review I really want to give this app 5 stars but it has an absolutely fatal flaw for myself and I’m sure many others. You can have journals with overlapping dates. The reason this is critical is many of us can not mix our work and personal journals. So if you have to keep 2 journals that overlap the same date period you can’t back them up. If the app would simply add the ability to have multiple journal libraries it would solve this problem.

The color and font size makes this app very difficult to use now. There are no settings available to adjust.

Background & font color (white on light blue) are nearly illegible

A clever compliment to bujo, however, let me suggest a few things: 1. an option to share a page in my library 2. an option to number a notebook to what I want it to be. Cool app!

Why can’t I have two journals that overlap? Don’t make the app so rigid!

I maintain 4 bullet journals... 1 for work, 1 for personal, 1 for my garden, and 1 for my travel. This app won't let you add journals in your library with overlapping dates.

I just paid 4.99 for this app and there is no FAQ for how to create entries. Just the warning that log items are deleted in 72 hours. Is this because it’s a read only app on the iPad? I have tried every choice on the app and don’t see anywhere to create a journal, take a phone or anything, . I searched help on website and there are only articles that say this app exists. I have to figure out how to get my money back

I’ve had this app for several years now and have loved the simplicity of the layout and functionality for tracking tasks. (Note: i don’t use it as a resource for anything else so i can’t rate that.) There was a recent update to the app which changed everything from the appearance (it went from black background to red/yellow/orange tiedie?!) to the functionality- the task log is no longer default screen when the app opens. Instead there are now daily journaling prompts that load first and i have to navigate toward the log. Very annoying. And the color scheme of the background makes it nearly impossible to read what you’ve written. Who approved this?! I’ll be looking for a substitute asap, or just use the notes app instead.
