Day One Journal: Private Diary

I know that when I use One Day to log my thoughts and feelings and any other random stuff that comes to mind I feel better. I tend to find the best time to use it is early in the morning. Setting myself up for the day. Remembering how I felt the day before and planning the day ahead. If there was one fault I would mention it’s the streak element, I’m competitive and enjoy a challenge so when I start developing a good streak it then disappoints me when I miss a day. This can then put me off continuing from scratch. Overall though it’s a good simple app to log thoughts and feelings.

I love this app. The templates feature makes recording complex info really quick. Then the tagging option is invaluable for recording multiple practices. It’s fab BUT - charging me for the privilege of using a rainbow icon? If that’s not corporate appropriation, I don’t know what is!

Terrible app. Every day the page freezes so it becomes impossible to write any notes. After turning off phone and turning on several times it eventually works. I really can't be bothered. Such a shame. I would like to record what happens when I go away. Will have to find another journal app.

I have Plus (Legacy) and am perfectly happy with it but Dayone insists on offering me a 1 month free trial when I try to add photos to an entry (within my limit of 10) with no option to decline it and carry on adding photos. So currently I cannot add photos to my entries. That is why I am giving one ⭐️ as it is not right for them to be penalising those of us that originally paid for an app with functions we are happy with. Also they will not offer email support to non-Premium users, this doesn’t inspire me to spend £32.99 a year to be held to ransom in the future.

I am a customer who purchased the app few years ago. And I paid for it. Now the app tried to refresh or something and got stuck in for days on my iPhone. So I have deleted the app with intention to reinstall it. But I’m unable to install it. In the App Store the button just doesn’t do anything. I wrote to the support and I was told that they only support premium customers. Is this a joke? I can access the product I paid for and the say they can help me and I should write a review so maybe someone gets back to me. So here I am. Writing how dissatisfying my experience was with the app and the support.

Some one suggested to me to journal as I had had a lot of problems and experiences. I am finding it useful to record my days experiences and thoughts.

Wonderful way to keep memories and I can reduce the paper and real object originals from all aspects of my life which reduces my clutter and allows me to travel lightly with my memories in tact

I’ve been wanting to get into journaling for a long time and from the day I downloaded Day One, I’ve been journaling every day. Great interface and the streak is motivating.

I have journaled for a few years now, and as Ryan Holiday rightfully says the hardest part about it is “making the time”. You now don’t need to worry about carrying a book, or putting it in a drawer and forgetting about it, because here is a brilliant alternative that is easily accessible. You carry you phone everywhere and now you have no excuse not to get some of those thoughts onto paper. The daily reminders help me keep on track and the ability to add multiple journals for weekly reviews, work related projects or other aspects of life is excellent. The user interface is quick and easy, and I highly suggest utilising the templates to create your own.

Really enjoying this app which I use as a daily prayer journal.
