Daily Journal Reviews

in a text editor, command+delete should function as a shortcut to delete a line of text. In DailyJournal, it deletes the entire note. Pressing command+z crashes DailyJournal . This combination of faults made me lose lots of work, twice.

Full version is $36. Guess what that unlocks —> iCloud sync, multiple journals, password protection and a few extra app icons. I understand the dev wants a return on the time and energy that went into making this thing but $36 USD (or $17/year or $2/month) is just a stupid ask for what you get in return.

Other note apps with identical features are not nearly as expensive. I recommend swiping back, maybe changing your search words and finding another notes app.

DailyJournal looks just like something I have wanted, but so disappointed to see that instead of a reasonable one time purchase, the necessary features of DailyJournal such as privacy, require a subscription. I’m so tired of apps going in this direction. Two dollars here, five dollars there, it all adds up and I hate seeing these charges every month on my credit card!

Also there is no watch app included.

Overall DailyJournal is very good. Simple and easy to use. I do like I can use Siri and put in notes on the fly. It also says that it imports DayOne entries. This is great as I do current have an account with DayOne Unfortunately it is hard to test some of the features as you have to purchase it before you do. It has no help section. Developers website is only a place to put your email address. No pictures. No video of product.

I love the layout and function of DailyJournal , but what journaling apps need to relize is the need for end-to-encryption and DailyJournal doesn't seem to have it. A journal (diary) can contain the most personal of information about ones life so the need to have it totally locked down to ONLY the owner of the journal is a must!! Without end-to-end ecryption it is pretty much another note taking app.

This is a well designed app. Just wish I could use it without hesitancy.

This apps looks amazing: minimalist, nice design and on point, but it lacks of options. I've loved to see an rich text editor, where i can make font bold, italic and that stuff and i cant embed or attach images or videos yet. I think these features are essentials. Overall looks good, hope these features can be integrated in future

I only have 2 other needs when it comes to a journaling companion other than simplicity and those are organization and convenience.

The organization by a date on a separate tab is a wonderful idea and it helps keep the platform clean and orderly. The convenience of DailyJournal also connects with how easily I can retrace my entries and go back at any given time.

I use this on my iPad and I love it but I guess I’m also wishing that this is made available on Android OS. I think it would definitely hit a broader target and will have more market exposure.

When applying Everlog as a shortcut, it suggests a 7-day average for word count. I look at this with doubt and remember the days of the week I didn’t write, which statistically brings down my average. I feel happier and more productive when I write, and seeing a higher average word count has become a mini-challenge for me lately. I think more people would feel better to see a higher average for their daily goals, so here’s what I suggest:

using the trimmed mean as the new way to track word count for users

so computing the mean of the middle 80% of your data, while ignoring the top and bottom 10%
(which excludes outliers and suggests a more accurate representation of average writing habits)

please consider! (:

I found DailyJournal last month, and I already have the premium version because I think it's worth it. it's the only cross-platform app I know of and markdown support is a nice touch, but currently the Mac app sometimes gets pretty laggy when I am typing. While I do have a lot of entries, this does not happen on my iPad.

would be if users could drop in images into entries. i use this function very often as a teacher and artist on the notes app and would love to move all of my note taking over onto everlog. i think all sorts of folks would enjoy this function if it was available.

other than that - i love the ability to have catergories/diffferent folders aka different journals, i love the color coding function, i love the data syncing on phone and mac (mac version is a bit laggy), i love the simple format.

So I been looking for a journaling/ note taking app that is simple, very visually appealing and provides a place to get lost in your text. DailyJournal has much of what I been looking for. I do have a few additions I would like to see. I do think a recently deleted folder is needed. DailyJournal could provide different fonts. Also the ability to upload a picture or document to a journal post would be nice. Overall I like what I see so far. I see some people make some valid points but DailyJournal is early in development and should allow for some time to see if the cost is worth it or not. I believe the price is is good for the possibilities that can come from this and features for the future. I’ve spent more on new and established apps that turned out to be not so good.

I think the dev is doing a great job with this project and I’m looking forward to see where it goes. The potential here is something that I want to see progress over time.

Also I would love to see a native Mac version of DailyJournal .

Changed my life. For passive thoughts rather than active journaling. The distinction makes all the difference.

This is really a fantastic little app! Anyone needing to keep an ongoing written log will benefit from this. My use case is facility management where I need to take lots of quick (time/date stamped) notes to document complaints, issues, and actions throughout the day. I'd been struggling to find a tech solution to the problem because all the apps I found were either too basic or too complicated. DailyJournal sits nicely in the middle. It's almost perfect. That it's available in iPhone, iPad, and Mac versions is blowing my mind given how modest it is. If I could ask the author for one thing it would be tags. Tags would make it perfect. And if you develop it further please consider integrating with Apple Reminders and Apple Calendar. Well done Wessley. Very impressed.

The simplicity makes it easy to get started without feeling overwhelmed. It’s like having a text convo with yourself. Or like private tweets.

It’s be nice if you could include pictures.

I absolutely love DailyJournal, I use it all the time. Some people are saying that you don’t need a subscription for privacy, but just get a lock on your phone. Anyways, I have a few suggestions for DailyJournal that might make it a little better than it already is:

- Check-listing features
- Font changer
- Headers
- Second journal for non pro users

I find it far easier to quickly log items in DailyJournal than in any of the more feature heavy note or diary apps. For me, this convenience puts Everlog squarely in the five star category.

Beautiful typography and incredibly well-designed notes app. I never really liked journaling because I can get so in my head about what I’m writing. Here, it feels easy to jot down passing thoughts! Having some control to organize notes into different categories definitely helps me to not be so precious.

P.S. a calendar app from you guys would be an instant YES for me. Think about it..

I've used DailyJournal since it was in beta. I found the developer through a twitter thread one day and decided to give it a shot. I use DailyJournal all the time to write down random things I need to keep track of day to day, or when I have an idea I don't want to forget. Having the notes correspond to the date and time I writee them is very helpful. The UI of DailyJournal is great. Definetly give DailyJournal a try if you are tired of having to using the stock notes app.

I had an issue with being unable to attach photos to my daily journal entries. I looked up the developer’s name and sent him an email describing the problem. He personally answered the first email within a day. The issue wasn’t resolved so I emailed details. Next day: step by step help as to how to solve the problem. I didn’t expect an answer to my first email, so I’m impressed that he cared enough to answer, even to sending a follow up making sure I was fully satisfied with the product and the service, Which I am ! sks

This might actually be one of my favorite apps of all time. It’s so simple, I’m constantly impressed by the design, and it makes me feel so much better knowing I now have such a lovely place to store all my thoughts and important dates.

I love DailyJournal.

Perhaps unimprovable. Excellent software. 👍🏼
