    I’ve really enjoyed this app for quite a while, I went to log on today and I’m forced to continue in order to even look at my journal. Ive logged so much and to not have access anymore without a warning really sucks. I’m hurt all my data is gone.
  • Love but please fix recording!

    I love love love this app. It’s such a wonderful all-around journaling app. I love that I can share journals with other people in my life to have co-contributors . I love that it has the recording feature and can read and insert text. I love how I can export it as a PDF. I love all of the photos and being able to see them in calendar view. I love all the little thoughtful things it records about what was happening when the journal entry was created. But please please please please fix the recording errors that are happening since the update! I’m losing a lot of really important meetings and thoughts that I’ve recorded due to the errors. It's ending the recording randomly and having save errors. Also some times I can see an audio file when in list view but when I open the entry the file is disappears. I can't trust it and I use the app for that a lot. 😔 On that topic, I liked when it would record 2hrs straight. I like that it can now dictate an hour but wish it wouldn't do it automatically but only when I ask it to. I get stuck waiting for it to dictate before being able to stay another recording. I like the new player feature where I can see when someone is talking and the 15 sec forward/rewind. It was difficult to find where I wanted to be before. I also love how I can go into other apps while it is recording and even turn my phone off. Thanks for such a great app and continuing to improve it!

    I have for the most part moved from Day One to Apple Journal and mainly for one reason. I need to be able to tag more than one location in a post. I should be able to journal once a day and tag all the places that I want. This is a request that has been made multiple times over the past few years with no movement.
  • IT WORKS

    I have a paper journal and it’s always so hard to write daily for me bc I have to physically carry it with me. Having this on my phone makes it so that I can write whenever I want bc I always have my phone with me. I love the calendar aspect and it’s so fun to be able to keep track of the things I did in past months. I also love that I can add pictures. This app has definitely helped me keep up with my goals. I also use it for daily scripture study and I love it!

    I downloaded and installed Premium version on Jan. 3, 2026 on my Mac. This caused loss of over 690 entries on my iPhone. Now my Mac says all entries 1,494; my iPad says all entries are 1,493; my iPhone says all entries are 783.
