GoJournal: Diary & Planner 4+

Been using DayOne since.. day one! But not happy with the high price of their subscription model, or subscription models in general! This app has most of the features of DayOne and surprisingly one or two of those features are implemented better in this GoJournal! Some nice formatting features and good job on not repeating the date and day on every single entry in list view as DayOne has done - it made it difficult to see individuals days (groups) of entries. I would say this app needs a time stamp to be visible on the entires and also in list view. Looking forward to new features! Pricing model - Superb!

Thank you for your review! It's always a pleasure to receive nice comments – it means we're on the right track! We appreciate your suggestion and definitely will consider it in our future roadmap.

Having used DayOne since 2014, I begrudge paying over £30 a year for minimal annual development. I was looking around for an alternative that gave me more multimedia possibilities and came across this app from the makers of Noteshelf. Now for a small one off fee I can add handwritten notes using their excellent fountain pen, add sketches, highlight text and even write on images. It also backs up to iCloud. This is on top of other media that DayOne makes you pay for such as PDF, audio recordings and scanning. It’s still a new app and does currently lack things like creating your own templates (they have several pre written ones), importing entries, ‘On this day’ and location info, but I’m hopeful there will be new features brought over from Noteshelf. So after well over 2000 entries in DayOne it’s time for something new that adds more possibilities to my daily journaling.

Hi,
Thank you for the feedback! We've passed it on to our teams internally for future consideration. You can even now use the Fountain Pen on GoJournal. Do write to us via in-app support( Sidebar- Support) if you have any more questions.

Really like the functionality in this app and that it allows hand written notes as well as typed. However my journaling is being hampered by the app constantly freezing. Happened 5 times today alone so far. I prefer to hand write my notes using Apple Pencil and that seems to be the issue. The only way to move past that is to swipe the app away and restart. Hope it becomes more stable in the future as it seems a great app.

Thank you for your feedback. Regarding the freezing issue, kindly send us more details via an in-app email (Sidebar icon on top left hand side of the main screen of the app-Support option) so we can see your device diagnostics & troubleshoot further.
