What’s New
Version 3.0.10
- Fixed: Hyperlinks and Strikethroughs did not save until other unrelated modifications have been done to trigger autosave.
- Fixed: Importing photos taken directly from the Camera within the app did not do anything.
- Fixed: Some users may have had troubles installing the app on the Apple Watch.
- Fixed: Images may be stuck "loading" - they are caused by previously deleted images of which the app still thinks exists and is trying to load.
- Fixed: Dragging and dropping images to export images out of the app, or copy images to multiple entries, may cause the app to incorrectly use low resolution thumbnails of the image.
- Fixed: Images may flicker upon selection of an entry, upon autosave, or upon scrolling through lists or pages with images.
- Fixed: Smart Search did not correctly account for search terms consisting of the day of the week (so searching for "Saturday" did not work).
- Improved: Added more hints of Safe Mode and direct shortcuts to exit it.
- Improved: Disabling image previews will now show a placeholder image instead of a blank space.
Ratings and Reviews
Best Online and Reliable Journal/Diary There Is
This app is an honest to god lifesaver. There are so many options and ways to write, easily add photos and moods to show what you were feeling and better help you record it. It’s so easy to write in, it’s like a paper one with just extra features to make your experience better. I’ve used this for around half a decade and it’s never failed me. I wish the creator of this app good fortune and extend my gratitudes because having something secure like this can be so helpful. Highly recommend.
An excellent, simple, reliable and free journal app
I’ve been using this app for 4 years and highly recommend it - it has automatic cloud backup, a great search function (to find previous entries), daily mood emojis (including weather), you can easily upload phone images, choose app skins and more. Very user friendly and no fuss. I do wish it had more rich text options (colours, fonts) but that’s just my preference. A fantastic journal app !
Best free diary/journal out there..
Wow this app is free, and it’s phenomenal, please don’t waste your money else where this app is free and it works well.
It only needs one thing...
I have more than a thousand different entrees so, you can imagine how annoying it is to wait for everything to load when you launch the app.
If it’s possible, please make some adjustments, to the loading speed for better user experience. I really appreciate the person or team that created this app. Thank you.
Developer Response ,
Hi there,
Thank you for the review and feedback! I'll work on figuring out a way to minimise the loading time (or hide the loading in the background, so you won't need to load everything to access the app). Hopefully that'll help!
