Capture 365 Journal

I downloaded this app many years ago particularly liking the layout and design compared to the other apps that were around at the time which included the biggest rival, DayOne. For reason unbeknown to humankind and the universe I went with DayOne, it seemed to be received regular updates but had much of the same functionality. However, Capture 365 offers a more sensible view of your days entires through what it calls ‘the Calendar View’. This view only shows entries due the day selected on the month view, unlike DayOne which always shows you ALL entries overwhelming the user - especially if you’re like me and journal every day! Moreover, each entry’s time stamp is more visible than its rival and the overall design is more pleasing. The only thing I would say that DayOne has over this is in-line video, meaning the video plays in the entry page itself without taking you away from the text of your entry, which most likely the developer of Capture will address in a future update ;-) If you’re an Apple Watch user, entries/check ins/hand write to enter text/ Voice to text can be made directly from your watch - this is just all out BETTER than the rivals apps! I’ve switched entirely over to Capture 365, and fir as long as this app is reasonably maintained, will be my mainstay fir journaling from now on. It’s far, far cheaper than it’s biggest rival so in my opinion, no contest! Capture wins! Well done to the developer for such an excellent journaling app. And NO! I’m not in any way associated with the developer. I paid for this app just like anyone else would.

Easy to use and reliably syncs across devices. It's a shame that the Mac App requires OS10.10 otherwise it would be 5 stars.

There are some basic issues with creating templates where you cannot see the template you previously created in a list. Journal name in the list is untidy, you cannot export a day to a pdf for publication- only iTunes. I get the impression the developer has lost interest in this app!

Nice app, easy to enter text and go to any date to enter data or photo. Appears I can only sync between iPad and iPhone when 365 is open on both devices though.

Front end, user friendliness is first rate, the problem remains with syncing as well as updating. The program is still what I would consider beta and needs a bunch more work to make it a replacement for those journalling programs that are out there, e.g. Day One etc. It has great potential but the developers need to allow a trial period and sort out the updating and syncing element. Too unstable for me currently so I won't rely on it. Hopefully there'll be improvements but currently, can't recommend it. It's okay but that's all you can say. I wish the program well and hope it is eventually sorted out sufficiently. I'll be staying with Day One for the moment.

In 2015 I left a low-starred review in which I explained that whilst I enjoyed the UI of this app, the sync delays and slowness made the app untenable for me. However, liking the UI as much as I did, I have stayed with this app, and am pleased to say that it has come a long way. Syncing is much improved, and I still like the layouts and UI more than any other journal app I have tried. The app now offer multiple journals, which is useful, and the developers seem to be releasing regular updates. Overall, I'm glad that I stayed with this app, and I use it regularly.

What's all the fuss about DayOne?? I have switched from that to Capture 365 (following their rip-off upgrade) which is smoother and has far better functionality and still allows for syncing to DropBox or iCloud as well as there own cloud backup. I use it across all my devices and it syncs seamlessly. It has a lovely Gallery mode where you can view all your photos. Allows feeds from Twitter, Instagram and others. I'm really enjoying using it and feel that it needs to be seen as s much better alternative to all other journal apps put there. Love it!

I have been using this journal for several years. Now I am unable to open it because it says it needs to be updated by the originator.

Great app just wondering If you can have more then 1 journal

Love that they fixed Instagram feed but still can’t get Facebook info from more than a couple months in past
