1. 5/5Loving this free Journal/Diary

   This app is user friendly with everything I was looking for in a journal, and the best thing about it is that it’s free! Do you know how many apps I had to search through to find on that didn’t say in app purchases on it? A lot. And you can video journal and dictate your journal too. It has the ability for you to track your moods and to record your achievements. I read some reviews that said they were having trouble backing up to the cloud but I found it so easy to do the first time I tried so that must have been people having device issues. If you want a new app to journal with and improve yourself then give this one a try. I believe you’ll find it gets the job done!

2. 3/5App could be better

   Funny, writing the title spell corrector worked. Not so in the app. I fat finger all the time. The app doesn’t correct spelling errors. Seems like a simple thing to fix. The app barks all the time about backing up but I try it errors out. I’m sure I don’t have the setup done properly but I can’t find where to setup the backup? Could be more intuitive, add menu items to autofill better. Seems like everything has to be done with keystrokes. This is the first and only journal app I’ve tried. Not sure how to measure against others. It’s like the developers don’t use the app or they just don’t have the resources to fix the bugs and do enhancements.

3. 4/5Could love this app…

   But it has a ways to go to get to five stars and a op ed in the Times. Mostly I respect it for it’s potential; I hate, hate, hate (maybe only two hates) journaling but this app makes it kind of fun. First, I like the idea of the moods. But most of the icons, including the “custom” set don’t really visually fit my moods. The developer(s) created their own, which is cool, but a lot of them don’t convey much to me. I’m recovering from PTSD and I’m not really sure I know what “happy” is, so mostly I describe my mood as “static” (in the sense of “stuck” and of interference) . With standard emojies that would be 😐. I’m irritated a lot and that would be 🫤,🤨, or maybe 😤. Anxious would be 🫣. The current menu of emojies, while kind of cute, don’t give me much to work with. I like the idea of the analytics — mostly mood tracking — despite not really thinking I would use them. If I’ve been angry the last ten days, I don’t really need a graph to know that. And the mood options that can be graphed (ie. not the custom ones I’d have to use) are too few to provide gradients. The graphing seems to be based on color, which is weird, especially the color assignments to the standard moods. “Happy” is red? Maybe it’s a cultural thing? Regardless, those colors need to be assignable in a useful way. That’s plenty to work on for the next couple releases… Oh, PLEASE include spell check! Thanks! (What’s the icon for “grateful”?)

4. 1/5Free then they change their minds

   This was an eh app, you couldn’t copy and paste from anywhere so if you want to copy and paste a text message, you can’t. It doesn’t autocorrect anything you write so you have to constantly ensure you typed correctly yet now after using the app for 9 months for free, they want to change things and make it $15 a month. I was using this app to keep up with my ex-husbands abuse so I can try to take him back to court when I can afford to but now because of these people, I no longer have a place where I can journal this. I now no longer have access to what I’ve been writing because I have to pay to get in which I can’t afford to do right now. For an app that isn’t so great, this is an arm and a leg of a cost especially when you have been free. You couldn’t even offer a discount to those that have been using the app for awhile? Ridiculous. Quite the bait and switch. If I wanted / could pay for a journal app, I would have found a better one 9 months ago.

5. 1/5Do NOT get this APP!

   An update, I paid for a month long subscription, I CAN NOT GET IN IT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM!!!!!! IT CONSISITENTLY CLOSES WILL NOT LET ME DO A DARN THING! I AM ONCE AGAIN DISAPPOINTED AND NO LONGER CAN GET TO THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I HAD ON THIS APP THAT I SHARED WITH MY MOM BEFORE SHE PASSED!!! ——————————————————-Why am I going to have to pay for this app now and where has some of my entries gone from it. Never was told about a charge on it at all. Now you want $49 a year!? Really! Follow up to this: I recieved an email from the developer and will say that I am disappointed. I have had the app for over 3 yrs and it never said an in app charge at that time, if it had I would never have chose it. Don’t get this app. Not everyone is loaded! I refuse to pay their price and things that I had written in it before my mom passed this year of things we shared is now gone!
