I really am more of an analog person, at least I thought I was.... but with this app, it makes journalling a breeze. The automated prompts that they provide make you pause and actually think about the questions for a minute. That makes you want to write it out even if it's for 2 minutes and then you find yourself writing for 20 mins and whoaaaa...new blog post right there. :D
Very Good App
