I NEVER leave reviews, but had to for this. It seriously just ticks all of the boxes I’ve been looking for. Clean and attractive set up (not bright or obnoxious like others), flippable pages, changeable backgrounds, AND nothing important is hidden behind a paywall. Any paid features and extras, not necessities, which is a great change. My only feedback/suggestion would be to perhaps add the “smoothing” effect that some other handwriting apps have? Definitely not needed, but it’s just about the only thing missing.

I have been using this app since late 2017. For three years they have been advertising “print to Moleskin—Coming Soon.” In the app itself they say, “email us to let us know you want this feature.” This feature has never materialized. It’s false advertising...don’t; fall for it. Meanwhile, there is no way to output your journal as a whole, you can only save images one-at-a-time. My sketchbooks are over 300 pages each, so the idea of archiving them a page at a time is ludicrous. I like drawing in Morpholio a journal...it’s light and easy. However, having an app that you can’t print (or PDF) from is a fatal flaw. The company must remove the false advertising from the App Store—and Apple should ding them for the false advertising.

If you are looking for a personal journal don’t bother downloading this app. Apparently you give all your journal entries to Morpholio and third parties (selling your data/idea/inventions). This can be found in their privacy policy. Also their contact information in the privacy policy page is invalid so we cannot reach out to validate this.—— Morpholio reserves the right to use images, graphics, text, video, audio or any other content that is posted, uploaded, displayed or stored on Morpholio products, applications, software, and Services for any purpose as Morpholio sees fit for the purposes of promotion and advertising.

I have been journaling, sketching, etc, in paper notebooks all my life. A few months ago, I found that I could no longer have a paper journal that would remain private (snooping family member). No more journaling for me. Depression followed. This app on my iPad with the Apple Pencil has saved my sanity. I can hand write and add photos, draw, paint, collage- everything that I used to do- I just do it digitally now. It’s as close as I ever expect to get to the “real thing”- and my digital art skills have vastly improved. I love it.
