Journal

How did Apple make a journaling app that you can’t use the pencil with?

I like a lot about this app and Now that I’ve started using it Don’t Plan to switch. But… I wanted to paste something I read in my Journal today. Just a quote of a few sentences and it wouldn’t paste in journal. So i took a screenshot and put that in there. But the way you format adding photos is not ideal.

Is there any way to export the journal contents to a printer or other file

Hoping iOS 18 has some updates to this. I prefer Apple-developed apps for any I’m giving permissions to (photos/video, etc.). I understand the reasoning for keeping this simple but it seems like a somehow watered-down version of the Notes app. No customization for italics/bold/underlining. No way to have multiple journals or even ways to assign categories or tags to entries (e.g., I wanted a way to maintain both a journal for personal life and one for work and there’s really no way to differentiate entries). Would like being able to tag or filter, or view in a calendar type interface. And more importantly this is only on phones (it doesn’t support iPad or Mac), which means no ecosystem connection to other Apple devices and no handwriting function (for iPad). Overall I think this really has potential but as of today falls far short of other more established apps on the market. Granted, this one is free and basic, so may work for some but I’m not sold on it yet.

when apple first released this new app, i was so excited!! i was already paying for a different one so i deleted that one so i could save some money. idk. i wanted to lock one entry cause i put password there, but i had to lock the whole app! it may be because of my phone which is a iphone se, but i dont want to lock down this whole app when i just want to put an entry in!! i dont use it that much but now im regretting deleting my other app. and the font isnt really cute. the other app had font stickers photos. this isnt that great. or fun. i love journaling bc its just fun and soothing. i feel bored while doing this.

I accidentally deleted an entry and don’t know how to get it back someone please help me.

NO GO. DELETED. FOREVER.

When my iPhone updated recently (Jan 2024, I think) with a new iOS this app appeared. It seemed great at first, but I soon found problems. It wasn’t until I started using it to document a house remodel project that I realized any photos I took in the app were stuck there. If I took photos separately with my camera feature, however, I still had them in my camera files. No matter what I tried, I could not find a way to save my photos or documentation to a printer or other app. I finally queried on line and found multiple others with the same problem. No one had any solution to this problem. I finally decided to stop using the app until Apple would (I can only hope) come up with an update to fix this problem. My advice is to find another app, but test it out first to see if it works properly before putting anything important into it!

I love the idea and the integrations, but I feel like they are sorely missing out by not releasing it on the Mac, but especially on the iPad with Apple Pencil support.

So before I never used to Journal at all, but now I have this app I’m actually journaling and it feels very nice. I do it every night at 11 o’clock very well made and very simple.
