Good but could be great

I love everything about this app except for one major pain point. I recorded a 12-minute stream of consciousness video. Once I was done recording, the app mentioned I’d exceeded the attachment limit and must delete larger items i.e. the video in question. There are so many solutions for this. 1) Why didn’t the app warn me WHILE I was recording that I’ve reached the limit? 2) Why can’t my Journal storage be linked to my iCloud storage? 3) And if none of those are possible (they are), why can’t I save the video in my camera roll before removing it? Please fix this.

Lovely but room for growth

I love the app but it needs a few elements, search function is number one, then add some headings, folders, tags or categories…it works fine for now but if you journal for a few months or a year - you’ll definitely need some structure to go back to what you’ve written and not just scroll down through a years worth of entries (not user friendly at all in that way).

I love this app!

Although it definitely has some room for improvement, I find this app immensely valuable to me and I will use this frequently for the rest of my life!

However, we need to be able to invite/share these entries with people—especially with people who were included in the entry!

Also, we meed to be able to add more photos and more videos! The limit, currently, is way too low!
