1. 5/5Simple and Effective

   I have to say this app has proved to be more effective than I thought. I used to use Apple Reminders to log quick tasks that I would come back to later, but inevitably wait days before opening the app, be overwhelmed by the large list of tasks needing to be addressed, and avoid “migrated” them to their specific list or area of my life. After moving back to pen and paper and using the bullet journal method I still needed a way to capture tasks and quick notes on my phone on the go so I paid for this app. The sheer brilliance of a task or note expiring after 72 hours forces your hand to migrate them timely into your bullet journal (or any “system”) but also reminds you that if you haven’t looked at something in 3+ days it must not be that important. There have been many times I’ve forgotten to open the app after 72 hours just to find out all my tasks and notes expired. I at first panic, and then sigh a relief. “If it was that important it will come back”. The app is a little dated on the font/style and I wish it had Siri Shortcuts accessibility so I could voice log tasks with Siri. Other than that I’ve loved it and have been using it about a year now.

2. 4/5So close to greatness!

   I love the bullet journal methodology and like this app a lot, but you could add a few more features that make it more usable. I would love to be able to sort my log from “soon to expire” to “won’t expire for a while,” for example — right now, it’s the opposite, which means the items that will be erased soon are sometimes not easily visible or don’t get addressed quickly enough because they’re at the bottom of the list. Seems counterintuitive, and I have occasionally lost important info because of this. I also wish you would change the keyboard so that when you’re done entering an item on the log, it’s more obvious that you have to hit the return button in order to save it. Many times, I’ve crafted the log item and then backed out using the back arrow, only to realize that that didn’t save my log item, and I’ve lost good info that way as well. Maybe change the “return” button to say “done” instead? Scanning your journal for archiving purposes should also be easier for Leuchtturm/non-Bullet Journal branded journals. The beauty of the bullet journal system is that it’s so modular, but scanning in your pages with this app is not. I love the idea of archiving my journal, but I don’t use this app for that, because it doesn’t always lineup with my page numbering. Big bummer that I have to go outside the app to get what I need. Changes like these would make a big difference, in my opinion. I otherwise love the app, its simplicity, and how it supports my analog journaling habit without getting in the way of it. ❤️🙏

3. 4/5I like it but...

   I use my Bullet Journal religiously and love it. Now that I've used several I want to start the library. But the pre-loaded page number templates don't work for me. My favorite journal to use is the Leuchturm 1917 which has 249 pages PLUS unnumbered contents pages up front. So either I choose one of the pre-loaded journal formats which both have a smaller number of pages (and so I can't add my final pages) or I choose the open-ended one that has no capacity to load contents pages before page 1. This seems like a really significant oversight since the hallmark of the Bullet Journal method is the index! I will wait in the hopes this will get fixed! Also, some of the volume information can't be edited, so when I made a mistake in numbering the volumes I had to throw out the whole volume instead of being able to re-number it.

4. 3/5It's a paid advertisement

   So I am new to BuJo. I am trying to retool how I work to be more present/productive and this seemed a great concept. Bought a journal and the app in hopes it would help me launch out well. The app is helpful in the sense you can add tasks, etc, and they're temporary to keep you on paper. Frustrating but I appreciate why it's like that. It has some resources to help you get started, but I feel like it's mostly stuff you can find on their site or on the internet for free. And most of what I have seen that isn't an article or small video is class I can also pay for if I want to learn the official way to do things. I feel like a $30 investment should come with some kind of onboarding system that is gradual and helps you get into BuJo without trying to sell me more stuff. I feel like I'll have spent the same price as an Evernote subscription before I'm done at this rate, and it's not even a system I'm fully sure will work for me. I'm still trying and still hopeful it'll work, but right out the gate I'm worried I just got talked out of $30 with little to show but an organizational foreign language project.

5. 4/5Just what I needed

   The only feature I make use of in this app is the log, but it’s worth the price of admission. I needed a place to Willy capture what’s in my head when my journal isn’t around. There are plenty of all that do capture, but this app does it best for bullet journals. Each log entry is either a task, idea, or event, there’s easy status notation to mark entries as Migrated when I transfer them to my journal, and the best feature is that the entries disappear after 72 hours, which nudges me get them on my journal AND keeps the app uncluttered My only wish for future updates would be a 3D Touch feature that allows users to start any if the three log entry types right from the iOS Home Screen rather than requiring users to first open the app, choose log, and choose an entry type. Eliminate that pain point and it’d be a perfect app.
