Moleskine Journal 4+

Great app, but quite glitchy on all devices

Still worth the subscription! It's the first app that ever made me stick to a routine, very helpful in creating positive habits, such as meditating, journalling or doing a gratitude list daily. It really has motivated me and helped me stick to a long streak across many positive habits. The app is beautiful and UX is very good, however, it does feel a bit glitchy on iPad, Mac and even on the iPhone. It is often slow, crashes at random times, and sync can be slow. I do write my journal on all devices and it can take a while for changes to appear on another device. Overall I still love it and subscribed for an annual plan, although I do hope it will get smoother and faster over time! Keep up the great work team!!! This app made me a big fan of all Moleskine apps and I'm now also a Studio user!

Fantastic but useless

This app is truly incredible. Both at serving daily reminders and a useful errand tracker as well as making positive life choices through the app’s ability to set goals you want to achieve. The user interface is comprehensive but simple and obvious in the best sense of the word(s). The app has a very slick design and a lot of fantastic features like integrating your native phones reminders, calendars etc. So it’s all in one streamlined and inclusive app. The benefits me personally a lot just because of how I chop and change which reminder app.
The design itself is very beautiful like all moleskin products is very aesthetically pleasing.
My only negative with this app is the fact that unfortunately the app does not load more times than it does load for me. I often have to close and reopen it several times to actually be able to use it, even after later updates where bugs are reported to be fixed. For context I use an iPhone XR so whilst it isn’t currently the newest phone it should definitely be able to handle this app. As soon as the bugs genuinely get fixed I will update my review to reflect the 5* nature of the app when working harmoniously but until then I feel disappointed and shortchanged paying a subscription for a crashing app I rarely reap the benefits of.

Gets worse with every update

Absolutely despise the new version. This was my favourite productivity app as you could do everything in one place (daily to do, projects, habit and mood tracker, linking calendars, etc) and also loved how customisable it was - was so useful AND aesthetically pleasing. Really don’t understand what they’re trying to do with the new version (except adding pie charts) - it looks worse, it can’t be customised, the ugly font is back, it doesn’t look like you can hide completed tasks anymore. On top of that, google calendar has been unlinked and a lot of tasks on my to do list have disappeared - I got everything how I wanted it and now I have to put in extra time and effort to sort it out. Really annoyed because I just paid this years annual subscription - it’s a lesson to not to subsribe to apps because the developers can completely change it for better or (in this case) for worse. This same thing also happened last year. No more chances - finding a better system and getting rid of this app for good 👎🏻

Developer Response ,

Hi serpentspells,

Thank you so much for taking the time to send your feedback.
We know this is a major change and there could be friction approaching it for the first time.
We tried to hear as many opinions as possible before the release to avoid disrupting anyone’s experience but we nonetheless knew that we’d have to adjust and tweak this new interface so that it worked for everybody once released.

We’re sorry the change has been particularly harsh for you and we’d like to help you get the most out of the new version with the least effort.

We will release an update in a few days to resolve some experience issues reported.

Please write us at journeyapp@moleskine.com, we'll be glad to take special care of your case.
Thanks
