Best Journal App Bar None
I’ve never written an app review before but this app is just absolutely perfect for my needs. I wanted a way to capture my days and add photos that will resurface in a meaningful way and this app is exactly what I was looking for.
United StatesStill the best…
I have tried a number of apps/systems to record my daily thoughts, experiences, and reflections. I always return to Day One. It is the perfect platform for me, and has all the features I need. Added to this is ny ability to access it across all my devices. I do not expect to stray from Day One anymore.
United StatesUsed to be great, but declining.
ANITHER UPDATE: April 2024. Syncing is now a disaster. I’ve been down on multiple devices and despite half a dozen emails and tons of log files, support has no idea. What happened to you, Day One ?!?! Curse you, Automatic Inc, for the decline of what was once a shining example of a customer focused app with rock solid support. You are hastening people’s move off the platform. I WANT to use the app but every month there’s a new issue. Bugs are popping up all over. UPDATED AFTER DEVELOPER RESPONSE, 8/16/23: Nope, they're actually wrong. I'm a developer myself - you have a bug in your app. The exact commands referenced puts you in the same looped workflow of documentation and never opens the email client. And the revamped timeline still looks awful. I'm looking at alternative journal solutions - like Apple Journal or Bear Notes. Day One has gone backwards. UPDATED 8/1/23: They are making changes, and not for the better. Dropped from 3 stars to 2. They totally borked the time line view now - increasing the front size and adding useless data, so now you can only see like 3-4 entries at a time with lots of wasted space. Journal apps don't need constant UI changes. In fact - it's a problem. Journaling is a routine oriented task - and millions have adopted the Day One workflow. Changing it for no tangible benefit is crazy, and has me looking at Bear Notes and other alternatives. Who is driving these feature changes over there? It's getting worse... Oh - and despite being a premium user - you actually cannot contact support anymore! Their own documentation directs you to an area of the app that seems changed - it just redirects to old, outdated documentation instead of directing to an email message client. Yikes. If you are considering Day One as a newbie, consider something else. This app is not the clear winner it used to be. Fixes no one asked for, while user-favorite features (cough cough web app) are in perpetual Beta. OLD Review: The iOS app is great, but the application itself is severely lacking due to the recent, quiet, abandonment of their web browser app. They were working on it, and there was a highly anticipated beta - but it’s been shutdown and abandoned (they say temporarily, but it doesn’t look like it - they wouldn’t shut access down entirely if really temporary). There is currently no way to access any part of your journal on a windows desktop browser. So - the app is good, but it’s tedious in daily life as you can’t easily get items from your desktop into your journal.
United StatesGreat Journal
I’ve been using it for years. Love it!
United StatesEarly full price for all platforms buyer. Because they promised
Paid full price for versions on ever device (iPad iOS and iMac) and now just pushing subscription model even though we were promised. Charging a subscription monthly to add media to posts seems an odd line to draw. I use iCloud for storage and hosting. So what why ? This subscription madness must end.
United StatesFreezes up
Used for 5 days and was very excited about it. Day 6 it's frozen and I can't log my entry. Bummer. It's annoying, but I guess I can just use the apple journal that comes on the iPhone.
United StatesFrustrated
Was so excited to try this app as it has such great reviews, but it is so glitchy I cannot even write an entry! The minute I hit plus to type a new entry, the entire app freezes. I’ve tried restarting my phone, opening the entry from a different path, and no matter what when I get to the page to type my entry, the app freezes. I hope there is a fix so that I can actually give this app a try.
