Editors’ Notes

It’s hard to make the best even better, but the sequel to Day One lives up to expectations—and then some. The app keeps its interface streamlined but adds a wealth of new valuable features. Your journal entries contain all sorts of information—you can geolocate them, add tons of photos to each entry, and even see your day’s fitness activity. Switch over to the beautiful new photo view when you’re ready to see your world at a glance.

A great app. But it’s holding itself back.

So I’ve been using the app for the last 5 years. I’ve been through it all. I’ve religiously written every single day for an entire year only to loose all of it when some glitch happened when Day One introduced it’s own sync. Nevertheless I stuck with it. I love writing on it. But it seems to be missing a few key evolutionary features. One that I miss the most is a Dark Mode. I’m sure there are a lot of people like me who write in the night. It’s the last thing I do before I go to bed. A dark more would be awesome. Also I use my iPad Pro to write a lot. It would be nice if I could just swipe away the elements on the left so that all I’m seeing is the typing window. It’s there on the Mac. Sadly missing on the iPad app. Hopefully they fix this. Especially considering Bear has all of these and more.

Great app to journal

The app interface is great and you get used to the slightly overwhelming amount of things on it after a few days. Good shortcut integration but if I had a gripe with the app, it is that they really shove the premium version in your face at least once daily. I wish there was a way to just hide all that since I don’t really need any of the premium features, and for that kind of money every year it doesn’t feel close to worth it. I mean iv been getting 4 years of free update from the art app procreate, so don’t hard sell and mask it as a “support” for the devs.
I guess I’m not a fan of the subscription model
Especially when it comes to apps. Charge a one time fee and I’ll buy this!
