The Journal app is really convenient and easy to use. The design is clean, and it makes writing a journal effortless. You can add text, photos, and voice memos, which makes it a great tool for keeping a variety of records. It also allows you to organize entries by category, making it easy to find past entries. The reminder feature helped me keep a regular habit of journaling.I highly recommend this app to anyone who writes journals often!

Released too early?

The app looks great and I like how it takes pictures, locations, and even the steps I took on a certain day into an entry. However, there are too many features missing. I would personally want to have the ‘journaling area’ more zoomed out (like Notes) if that makes sense. It’s just that the writing area feels like it’s too in my face. It would also be great if there were ways to customize the text and add more personalization to the entries (e.g. stickers). Maybe make it so we can choose at which places we want the pictures, videos, and voice recordings to be in the entry (be able to resize too). These are only some of my suggestions. I hope that you guys can make it good someday. Thanks!

Honestly and comparing to many apps in this segment the App lack far behind It is very basic that most the features required to update are supposed to be available like organising and tagging add to that the fact that is only on IPHONE IOS not on Ipados, which is kind of lame. I believe they should have waited more to get things ready for this app before lunch it this way causing it to quickly fall behind rather than becoming an amazing Update after IOS 18In a world where technology is leaping it is very shameful that such an app Comes from AppleI guess they are starting to compete on #1 disappointing Company Hardware and Software 2This App continues to disappoint i am uninstalling
