Daily Tracker Journal & Diary Reviews

I’ve been using DailyTrackerJournalDiary for a few years on and off, and paying for it back then has been more than worth it now many times over. I love that it is not gimmicky and it’s so widely and easily applicable to so many different kinds of tasks. It doesn’t take long to learn it, and once you do, it is simple but powerful.
I admit, from time to time I search for some other new daily tracker app to get something new, different, and exciting. Sometimes I’ll try one, sometimes I’ll even pay a few bucks for one that looks good. Maybe I use it for a little while. But every time I keep coming back to this one. It’s just better than any other tracker. I mean, I guess if you have some specific thing that you want to track in a particular way, or you want fancier graphics or motivations, maybe there is a better app that’s built just for you and that thing, but otherwise just go with Lumen.

At one time, I used DailyTrackerJournalDiary for nearly everything. As someone that likes to keep data on everyday life things, DailyTrackerJournalDiary was great for it. However, it seems like app updates are too slow and far between. It seems like something could be done with widgets, and PLEASE add support for the Apple Watch!

The more upgrades to the iPhone, the more DailyTrackerJournalDiary is dated. Every update has been fluff, adding a video to the beginning with some nice music, a tutorial, a change in the pricing structure. There is so much that could be improved in this. Adding functionality like a spreadsheet, to sum across multiple categories, link them together. Adding 3D Touch capabilities to access timers or favorite trackers. Just nothing ever really improves with it. I wish they would add improvements, maybe DailyTrackerJournalDiary would be usable again.

Nothing new to add, except that I am still using DailyTrackerJournalDiary more than ever. It's a kind of multi-tool that fills in for what other apps leave out. It is a simple and affordable solution to a number of different issues.

Not sure how I would change my positive review below, except to say that I use DailyTrackerJournalDiary more now than ever. I would be hard-pressed to find a substitute.

I barely remember writing the reviews below, but without the subscription pricing, Daily Tracker has become an indispensable companion. I use it so much for so many things, and it is so easy and so flexible, that I’m not sure how I would replace it if I had to. I would even pay for an upgrade (rather than a subscription) if that were required.

Thanks for listening. Ads are gone--for now, at least. Revoking my earlier negative review.

This was a great app until the upgrade. Now the user, who paid for DailyTrackerJournalDiary in the first place, as I did, years ago is faced with obtrusive ads or a $2/month subscription. There are now too many other ways for me to do, ad-free and without cost, the things I'd been doing with it. I'm deeply embedded, and it will take time, but I'm not going to put up with ads or a subscription service. Sorry!

I use DailyTrackerJournalDiary to track my meals and workouts. I lost 8 pounds in 6 weeks when I started keeping a food and workout journal here! I find traditional calorie counting apps too cumbersome. I simply write down exactly what I eat every day and note my weight once every week or two. The daily bs calendar views are perfect for this. The mere act of writing it down deters me from eating poorly. I can browse the last few weeks to see where my weakness are. Plus, when I stop journaling for a while, i can look back at what I ate a few months ago that kept my weight down and get great ideas. ("Oh yeah, I was eating cucumber slices instead of chips with my sandwich!").

I also use DailyTrackerJournalDiary to track how I spend my time. I discovered that I was spending 3 hours per day on housework. This was helpful in balancing the workload with my husband.

I love DailyTrackerJournalDiary. Now all my lists and to do's and more are in DailyTrackerJournalDiary. One of the best apps I have ever found. Track everything from errands (with quick grocery items list added) to exercise, to simple capture of expenditures (it adds it for you)
to recipes with a photo or web capture, to quickly listing books, movies, tv shows recommended by others, to listing projects and steps, and so much more. I love that I can get this on my Iphone and Ipad anywhere so going to the grocery store with my phone and DailyTrackerJournalDiary makes this so much easier. One thing I will do in addition to this though is to get the Lumens budget program or another as I can't really budget well in this program. Love that if I can't write right then, I can record in this program.

I can password protect any list. That means those lists are then double password protected with the phone having a password and the list having one. I’m sure a a master hacker could get beyond that but few would bother or be able to. Just a double safeguard.

This is my portable brains and so much better than the one on my shoulders. I would recommend it to anyone who uses portable devices. I haven't really seen if I can get this on my laptop but I probably can.

Like being able to compare my running stats by months and years. For the past 4 years have used it for weight, sleep, goals I set for each year. Love the graph representations. They are motivating for me.

I keep all of my exercise data in DailyTrackerJournalDiary. I have a number of other apps for that purpose, but continue to use this one because it is so easy to compare across time. The developers have stayed amazingly invested in improving DailyTrackerJournalDiary over the years. That impresses me and makes me think that they will continue to do so.

DailyTrackerJournalDiary has so many possibilities for recording different types of data - I have actually been using it in the most basic way. I'v not taken advantage of much of what it can do. So it more than meets my needs.

Update 2019: STILL using this! Never fails me. I track my medications, water intake, exercise, health symptoms, sleep, and my pets medications too.

Update: years later and still using DailyTrackerJournalDiary. It is perfect for tracking and I’ve expanded it now to use for to do lists etc. It has replaced multiple other apps

Original review: I've been using this for several years, first on my iPod touch and then on two different iPads. Like some of the other reviewers I also have a chronic illness and have to keep track of a number of parameters. It worked so well for that I started keeping track of all sorts of things: expenses, my pets weights, etc. It is so flexible and works perfectly. Can't say that about many apps.

Love DailyTrackerJournalDiary! I don’t often pay for apps, but this one has been totally worth the price for me. For years I kept a paper calendar but no longer need to. I keep a “to do list” as my main calendar and then use other formats for shopping lists, birthdays, tax mileage, week night menus, books that I want to read, songs that I want to buy, etc. - the options are endless. Also like being able to set multiple reminders, move items from list to list, add photos and voice notes and that all my lists are in one app. This helps me keep all activities for me and my family straight and my day feels much more productive and organized. I can’t say enough good things about DailyTrackerJournalDiary.

Used several years now, I keep track of walking times and health items like sodium amounts and medical appointments and notes. But I especially use DailyTrackerJournalDiary for books' reading status, links and edition sources such as Kindle, audio, Classicly, library, ownership, and my notes for book club. So easy to customize and to do lists, charting, calendar tracking, etc. - this is a versatile app. It has become such a daily tool that I keep it on my menu bar and with iCloud my phone and pad are always synced. Very highly recommended.

Update: Am now using it for daily reads and music listens journal, too! Going to try logging expenses next:)

DailyTrackerJournalDiary does a magnificent job of allowing you to keep a variety of journals in a variety of ways. It is fully accessible with VoiceOver, and it is an excellent way to keep track of things. Haven’t kept New Year’s resolutions in years? Perhaps a reason for that is that you have not been able to glance back at them and keep track of them. DailyTrackerJournalDiary changes that. Need to keep a gratitude journal? DailyTrackerJournalDiary does that. Need to keep track of finances or time spent on a project or the amount of exercise done? You can do that with this. With DailyTrackerJournalDiary, you are limited only by your imagination in terms of how you will use it.

I like it, but it would be helpful to have some daily entry form templates in addition to the option to create my own. I’m going through a divorce and have been counseled to “document everything”.... that’s a tall order for someone who’s a perfectionist with some OCD and ADD sprinkled on top, I literally could spend every minute of every day documenting everything.... but that’s not the developers fault..... it’s yours... ok it’s mine. So far it has the potential for me to streamline the process of documenting everything once I have all my categories and daily entry forms setup.

I love that I can add photos & audio etc, but One other thing that would be super helpful is to have the ability to add videos to my entries as well.

There are so many specialized apps that do just one thing. I sometimes forget which tool does which thing.
I use this tool everyday. I use it to track many things grouped in categories. Health includes weight, temperature when not feeling well, and workout activities.
The list design is very flexible. I use checklists for packing, routine house maintenance, etc. I simply capture thoughts for my blog or other purposes.
I wish more apps would provide this level of flexibility and ease of use. I don’t write many reviews, but DailyTrackerJournalDiary deserves an excellent rating.

I have been obsessed with DailyTrackerJournalDiary for over 5 years. I started using it primarily for mood and sleep tracking because of some physical/mental ailments I was dealing with at the time. I love that I can look back and pretty much have a clear-cut report to give to my doctor of what health trends were happening at a specific moment and make adjustments as needed.

I don't use all the categories that came with DailyTrackerJournalDiary and made some of my own customized ones. It's awesome to have an app be this flexible, especially when it comes to wellness habit formation.

I cannot say enough good things about DailyTrackerJournalDiary, and believe me I have tried many in the organization/notes category. First in for most, it heartfelt thank you to the developer for keeping your products accessible for customers using VoiceOver. Second, all of my shopping list, organize recipes, and even packing list when I am rushing to the airport at 5 AM all live in DailyTrackerJournalDiary among other important items. DailyTrackerJournalDiary has lived on my home screen for years, and I very much hope will continue to do so.

This is my go to app. I use it every day, and have been for many years. It is easy to use and you can set it up the way you want it. I track the time I wake up, my weight, my out of pocket expenses, cardio workout time, sadhana, volunteer time, time spent working for specific clients, the actual time Indi my chiropractic exercises, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Occasionally, I print some of the categories for tax and record keeping purposes. I depend on DailyTrackerJournalDiary. It is at the top of my first page. Need I say more? Buy it!

I have had this Tracker since my first iPhone and I have always had all of the information I needed by just opening my phone to the Tracker. I can track everything that is important to me, it also helps me to keep the goals that I set it keeps me accountable with Reminders. With DailyTrackerJournalDiary there’s no need for any other tracking apps.
Thank You for the work that you put into DailyTrackerJournalDiary it is very user friendly.

Sincere Thanks for DailyTrackerJournalDiary 😊

This is an easy to use app that keeps me organized. I use various categories to capture items of interest - books, personal interests, products,etc. I use it daily to track the hours I work along with categories each day & my travel time. It allows me to report these to my board of directors but most importantly gives me tangible data on how much time I spend working & traveling for work so I can make modifications to better balance work with the rest of my life.

This is the rare app I use every single day. I track medications on it, can add new categories as I see fit, and it is extremely useful for tracking just about everything. It could use a bit easier time stamp, but it's easy to add categories. I find it hard to use the slide bar, but fixing problems or adding categories is quite simple. Best part- password protected categories allow me to do journaling no matter where I am. As a writer, it is so helpful to retire my spiral bound notebook.

So far it’s great. I am already using this more than all organizational apps I have tried combined. This might finally be DailyTrackerJournalDiary that can compete with my bullet journal. Have not had to use pencil and paper since getting DailyTrackerJournalDiary. Love how it’s versatile without being overly structured. I didn’t like that a picture automatically came up with each daily journal, but it only took me a minute to figure out how to eliminate that feature. Very user friendly and easy learning curve.

I have been using Time Tracker for years and it is great. The developers recently offered Daily Tracker combining all the apps. I easily imported all my previous data and I am using the one month free trial. I give it four stars for now because I do not see much difference from Time Tracker (I used an upgraded, one time pay version) and this version except now there is an annual subscription fee. Is it worth a subscription? Maybe and I don’t know what features I lose if I cancel the subscription.
