Journal X: My Diary with Lock 4+

Great App

I have mental health issues and a digital diary is best for me. While sometimes a little teen like I love the fact I can create different journals, add weather, moods, things I have done as stickers and not typing it all out. I wish there was more color options and font choices but that is me being picky. The overall app is wonderful and easy to use. I love I can set a password. Now, 1 feature I wish there was was stealth mode where if you flip the phone down or make a gesture the app will lock and turn off so other people will not know if you did not want them to see what you were doing. I have used many different journaling apps but this one is my favorite to use.

No Money, Now Lost

I have major trust issues. I’ve been threw a whole hell of a lot and I’m 12. So when I first downloaded this app I avoided it didn’t think it would help. Then when I shut everyone out all I had was this app so I thought to hell with it ( yes I am a cussing 12 year old and no my mother did raise me right) so just when I decide to try it I immediately notice that a lot of the best parts of the app you have to pay for. Wow no wonder why u have a 4.5 rating? Maybe because the other half can’t afford the best parts of your app. So after a couple of days of consistency of writing in this journal I went to write in my journal. When I start typing I just think of everything all my pain anger sadness happiness everything. When I was done per usual I just push the arrow (thinking it automatically saves it like it usually does) I go back and reread it like I do with all of my entries. It’s not there I try refreshing and searching. Nothing works. It’s gone like I never spent hours typing it. For a 12 year old girl who has been through pain and let down her whole life you would think this wouldn’t phase her.

Needs some work

First, a small but very bothersome problem: there are no periods. I don’t know if other users are having this problem, but even though I type the periods, they disappear when I save. There should also be the option for italics, bold, and underlined words, and possibly different fonts and colors. Also, I suggest possibly creating specific questions or observations that a person can answer/make everyday to make the entries more consistent if they’d like. Another small thing, I feel like the stickers should have more options and more character. Finally, I had only used the app for about 15 minutes and it crashed. I was pleased to find that it saved what I had written, but nonetheless it is something that you might want to work on. Other than that, it is very cool and useful for venting, so thank you for that.
