This app has every functionality I could need, and none of the fluff. I think it’s perfect for journaling as well as for writing long form text. it feels very minimalist and not cluttered with additional buttons and options and settings; I have no complaints, as this app is incredibly user friendly; I’m impressed and very happy with it. Things I love:1) It integrates smoothly with all the Apple iOS stock apps. I do a lot of voice memos as audio journals, and I love that you can record straight in the app and add photos and videos too.2) You can select multiple entries at once and bulk-organize your entries into different journals really easily.There are only a couple refinements that I would appreciate, including: 1) being able to backdate entries with less clicks (I often write entries retroactively), 2) being able to attach files like a voice memo from the Journal app (currently you have to go into Voice Memos, click share, and share to the journal from there). A potential improvement is that the automatic journaling suggestions so far have not been very relevant, but maybe I just need to put in more entries before it can learn to suggest more relevant prompts). Note: other journaling apps have the ability to add hashtags, but honestly that introduces a lot of clutter and too much personalization, and the level of personalization it offer offers is perfect right now. I hope the developers do not fall into the trap of adding more and more functionalities and clutter that a few people use.

I really do enjoy writing in this, it just has a few issues that may not apply to most users, but it does for me. So, I am aspiring to be a writer, and I thought it would be cool to try using this app. It’s super cool and really good, just has a few issues that I’m willing to overlook but would really love to see these differences: 1, I like it when you tap the writings, it extends, but it only does that for smaller amounts of writings; I’d like it if it did that for larger ones too. 2, I’d love it if the pictures that I can submit, I’d love to edit which part of the picture is used, and where it is submitted. I think it’s cool and looks like a book cover, but most of the time, I have the perfect picture but it only shows part of it, and it doesn’t work. 3, (last one) I don’t think this app lets me change my words’ font, and I think it’d be cool if I could customize that sort of thing, like background or font and stuff. BTW, number three is not super important, just my small requests. But I really do love this app, I’m not much of a person who likes to document my day or think about it, I like to be more creative and fun with what I write. So, anyway, hope that if you get this app, you enjoy it. I think it’s super cool, again, just those small requests that would def brighten up my day. *looks up at all that I wrote* Dang, I talk a lot…

I love this app and I’ve been using it since I had a iPhone 12. But I do have a iPhone 17e in soft pink now and it’s even better than ever. You can write down your thoughts and feelings. I’ve also been using the summarize feature with AppleIntelligence. It lets you turn your responses into something better. It also can fix grammar. Perfect for writing books Or using it as your personal diary. I can’t believe how good it is. Along with adding pictures to the journal. The app ‘notes’ isn’t your only tool now. Ever sinceI got iOS 26, I’ve been using this app to write down anything. You don’t need a pen/pencil and paper anymore. Now you can just use a piece of glass and metal. I recommend this app because writing in this journal is easy and I don’t have to worry about bad handwriting. And you have streaks which is a super cool feature. My current streak is 2 weeks old, and I’m keeping it alive by writing. Every time I made an entry I felt the joy running through me.With the thought of having this app to write everyday, it’s the best time. The streaks gave me a reason to keep writing. This app is one of the best writing apps on iOS 26 along with notes and pages. Just so you know this is a wonderful app. I hope you have a wonderful day as wonderful as this app. Byee

For me, as someone who loves writing, this app is really cool! At 15 i’m writing a book and sometimes do short story competitions, but just having a topic and writing a paragraph about is just so fun. I love going back to journal entries I did years ago and reading about what I was struggling about then. It’s so cool, for me anyway, because the things and the people I was deeply struggling with I don’t anymore. That’s just so encouraging for me to see how God has really worked in my life. One verse I write a lot about is Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future.” I would usually write this verse after I wrote about what I was struggling with, and going back and rereading it and just seeing how God does have plans for me and they are for my good. Even if life feels hard is really encouraging. Something I came up with while writing is, “A fire will burn and destroy, yes. But the growth and new life that comes after is a fresh start to what once was.” God can do this as well. It’s through our pain and suffering, like a fire, that can start to break and weaken us, but it’s the through that that we learn and grow. Nothing bad happens for no reason. God always has a plan, for the lost or for the found. He always cares. My God is a loving God. And he has done, and will continue to do, great things for us. Because he loves us.
