Moleskine Journey Life Planner 4+

Great app, but...

This app is great. No doubts.

It's just so sad that I own the Actions and Timepage, I pay for both and then you release this, which to some extend puts those other apps in the background. I won't be paying for 3 apps. Are you crazy? Can't you support all your apps the same way? I'm waiting for Actions and Timepage on Mac for more than a year now.

Thanks.

Not sure what the purpose is

So the habit building aspects are pretty cool, and it’s a solid app overall, but it seems to be encroaching on Timepage and Actions territory. And unlike Timepage and Actions, it didn’t seem to sync together with the other Moleskine apps, so I decided to go with the Moleskine Studio bundle instead, as those apps are definitely a lot more polished and just “feel” nicer. They also cost less and include Flow, so that’s a bonus I guess.
I don’t understand how Journey fits into the picture, and I didn’t see any advantage in using Journey together with Timepage and Actions, and while it tries to do some of the things that Timepage and Actions do, it’s pretty much objectively worse at both.

If I had to give some suggestions I’d say:
1) Add the heat map from Timepage. That stuff is awesome
2) Show me the weather!
3) Add widgets that combine the calendar, task and habit tracking functionality. So something like a compressed “My Plan” view I guess
4) Add the nice swipe and navigation gestures, they are really intuitive in Actions and Timepage. Journey generally doesn’t feel like a native app, I can’t put my finger on what exactly feels off without taking a bit more time to analyze it, but hey — that’s your job :D

All in all, I love the concept of combining pretty much everything in one app, but Journey seems neither here nor there for me, so I will stick with the Moleskin Studio bundle.

It had a great design, but not anymore after the update

I used to love this app, I love the design and how the habits was visualized and all colorful. However, now they had and update and change it and I don’t like it anymore because you cannot see only the habits anymore, it was merged with to-do list which makes it more stressful when you want to use it mostly for habit tracking. It was better before when there were four sections, one for habits, one for diary/calendar, then to-do, and projects, that was great. No after the update, everything is aggregated and this app is not that good anymore. I wish they left it as it was…
