My Wonderful Days Journal Reviews

I was looking for an app for someone with special needs and short term memory problems. Ideally I wanted an app where he could fill in the events of each day so that he could keep a running log of his activities to help him remember what he had done each day. MyWonderfulDaysJournal allows you to update your entry at any time so you can add each event as the days go on. I would have like MyWonderfulDaysJournal to allow photos and time stamp each entry throughout the day. Pictures entries would really help for folks who have expressive language problems but still want to journal. The interface with MyWonderfulDaysJournal is user friendly and that’s great for people who aren’t high tech. It’s a decent app - better than the complicated ones. But I was hoping for a little more.

I downloaded this in 2015. I just retrieved it from the iCloud. It was interesting to read my old posts. It’s a shame that you can only do 14 posts and then you have to pay. I had forgot about this. I will think about paying but not sure if I will considering I’m on disability/social security and don’t have “extra” money floating around. Read somethings that I had forgotten about. Good app, just looking for something free at all times. I used my pages app for journaling but Apple has seen fit to update it so that it is no longer compatible with my iPad Air. Now I have no access to anything I had on there ie. over 1000 recipes plus a bunch of other stuff. Guess I have to get a new iPad, what a shame, this one still works perfectly.

Before updating my iPhone, I was able to type into the journal app on the horizontal format and while I typed the paper would smoothly move up on its own, recognizing that it had to move so I could see what I was typing. Well when I updated my iPhone 6s to iOS 11.1 MyWonderfulDaysJournal now doesn’t do the same as the past. While I am typing on the horizontal format it just stays still and I have tried to close/open my app multiple times and the problem still remains. I have to type in my journal using the vertical format which I do not like to use, due to having to type at a slower pace. If you could please update MyWonderfulDaysJournal to fix this problem that would be greatly appreciated.

I actually tried out so many calendar apps to keep record of my Crossfit WOD and weight loss journey and MyWonderfulDaysJournal was by far the best!! It is super user friendly and I love how it’s simple and cute by design. There’s not a crap load of fancy options or steps to navigate back and forth through to complete or edit an entry. However, I would love to see the option to be able to change the color of the font. The different color option would brighten or help set moods for daily entries despite the black&white emojis. Also, it drives me nuts not being able to re-arrange the entries by dates after you have gone back to edit them from the list at the home page.

This is the exact app that I need to achieve my emotional goals for myself. I wanted an app that will help me track my good and challenging days for me and MyWonderfulDaysJournal does just that. It sends me reminders, it has a tracker month to month, it has journaling features that can be customized to your liking. I’ve been using it for about two weeks now and I’m really like it. Only reason omit doesn’t get 5 stars is simply because I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s “tech challenged” user friendly. Not saying it’s super hard to use and navigate but all the features of MyWonderfulDaysJournal take some time to learn by playing around and remembering the steps to take to get back to the newly learned features.

I use MyWonderfulDaysJournal to journal my thoughts from the day. I like it a lot - it's very simple to use, and no-frills. One of the other reviewers said the paid version is the same as the free one, but it isn't -- I believe there's a limit to the number of entries you can write a month on the free version, and maybe other limitations in terms of back-up and the like. The only reason I give it four stars instead of five is because of the back-up function. I like to convert my entries to PDFs every month or so and email them to myself so I have an external record of my writing. However, when you attach photos to a day's entry (which I do with some frequency), MyWonderfulDaysJournal does NOT reduce the size of those photos and the pdfs become ridiculously large and impossible to manage. Sometimes I have to export day by day to PDF because four or five photos attached to an entry and boom, you're at like 12MB or something. It would be nice to have the ability to save as a smaller file size with the photos. Other than that, I really enjoy MyWonderfulDaysJournal and it has encouraged me to write more often, which is very therapeutic to me.

I haven't kept a regular journal in years before MWD. Now it's simple and delightful to write about the good, not-so-good, inspiring and trying events in my life. It's truly a wonderful app.

Caution though: Be sure to save often; I recently had an entry I'd been working on for over two hours just disappear on me (hence only 4 stars).

To the developer: autosave would be more valuable than stickers and photos. Also, part of what I love about MyWonderfulDaysJournal is its simplicity and elegance; don't get so carried away with adding every feature that everyone asks for, that the simplicity gets lost in all the features.

Great app!

Update: iCloud sync with the iPad is excellent! But sometimes I get a double entry for the same day, which I have to edit, copy, delete and then re-paste so as not to lose any of my entry. So still a few bugs, but an overall wonderful app!

Update: the only thing that would make MyWonderfulDaysJournal better is to add encryption, particularly on the MacOS companion app. But 6 years on, still my hands-down favorite journaling app.

I downloaded MyWonderfulDaysJournal in Jan 2014 and I’m happy to report that all my journal entries are still with me after all the phone changes and iOS updates the past 4 years. My W Days is beautifully designed and simple to use. I can easily search for my old random thoughts. I can add fun photos to my entries. I can make it my escape on those rough days when I just want anyone to listen. I can go back and see which days of the year I had the biggest smiles on and why. MyWonderfulDaysJournal really has been my bff since day 1. Thanks hahaint team! I hope to still write 60-80 years from now. Please don’t go anywhere!

I decided to leave a quick review. I started using MyWonderfulDaysJournal in 2012 so at the time of this review it’s been a solid decade of journaling. I’m not claiming to be the greatest at being consistent with my entries, but there are hundreds to go back to a read. Using MyWonderfulDaysJournal is kinda my way of journaling too. I read books on a Kindle and journal on my iPad and iPhone. I’m a digital kinda girl so it works for me. Ive found if I use the voice to text I can get more down on “paper”. The best part has been being able to go back and remember what my days were like and how far I’ve come. This truly is a Wonderful app!

I wanted a journaling app where I could safely keep my day to day thoughts, and I was so happy to find My Wonderful Days. I have been using MyWonderfulDaysJournal for 3 years total, the paid version for 2.5 years. I do not remember what upgrading to paid unlocks since it's been literally years, however I use MyWonderfulDaysJournal enough that I was glad to spend a few dollars to support it. MyWonderfulDaysJournal is stable (I have used MyWonderfulDaysJournal from iPhone 4S - iPhone 7 and iOS 6-10) and have never had an issue with it. If you are seeking a clean interface and functional app for chronicling your personal thoughts and musings, I highly recommend My Wonderful Days.

I have been using “Wonderful Days” for almost 5 years and it has become vital to my day and life. I log memories, thoughts, song lyrics, significant moments and, most of all, inspirational and helpful sayings. Being able to add a photo or a video is “Wonderful” as well. I like being able to look at my entries in the past, which helps me see all the great things that I’ve happened and also the difficult things that I overcome. I try to add things on a daily basis that I am thankful for as well.

It is intuitive and easy to use, and easier than writing in a logbook (and also less likely to get loss than a logbook).

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. It has improved my life and I highly recommend.

I absolutely love MyWonderfulDaysJournal. I use it just for what it’s for. Journaling. Before MyWonderfulDaysJournal I would journal on my iPhone in the notes section. After discovering MyWonderfulDaysJournal i have been using it ever since. I started using MyWonderfulDaysJournal in December of 2012. I would recommend anybody that likes to journal to use MyWonderfulDaysJournal. My only issue is the pics that I take long ago and saved on MyWonderfulDaysJournal doesn’t show anymore it’s just a black screen. But I can view those said photos on my MacBook because I also have MyWonderfulDaysJournal on Mac as well. GREAT APP!! Would recommend to anyone for journaling.

I’m the type of person who has kept a journal since I was in second grade. I’m not the most consistent person in that I do it daily but I have enough to sort of piece together who I am and where I’ve been. I came across my W Days back in 2011 and it’s been a game changer. I can easily scroll to older entries, review myself thoroughly, add pics, moods, etc. I love MyWonderfulDaysJournal. It has really helped me keep track of myself. The best part is that most of the things I’ve written in MyWonderfulDaysJournal have come to fruition. My desires, dreams, characteristics I’ve wished to develop. It goes to show how powerful it is to write your story, your thoughts and feelings down. It really begins to manifest. I highly recommend MyWonderfulDaysJournal!

I’ve been using MyWonderfulDaysJournal for several years now. I love how it can easily capture my mood as an emoji as well as my writing. To have photos and videos attached to any given day to remind me as well, just excellent. I started using it because i knew i’d always have my phone with me. I didn’t want something sitting around that could be snooped either, it had to feel secure to allow me to really express myself. Well this is more than secure, it’s encrypted. But it’s in the cloud? Yep and backed up and moves between phones. I’m not worried about the world cracking encryption for me, a nobody, just people i know reading my personal thoughts. Finally, i love how i can use voice instead of typing.

I did the latest update and all my notes got deleted from the last SEVEN years. If you have backups on in MyWonderfulDaysJournal you can restore from there. BUT they only backup the first of every month. So I had lost one month of (important) entries.

In MyWonderfulDaysJournal perform a backup now before you upgrade MyWonderfulDaysJournal ! If you did not do this and find you are missing data like me please keep reading.

I used the trial version of the iMazing app and with the phone connected I found a temp folder in the My W Days app. These are all .entry files. I cloned the folder to my desktop, then selected the entries for my lost month and drag and dropped them back into the iMazing app under the latest backup folder. Then I went into MyWonderfulDaysJournal on my phone and restored that latest backup and the entries were there. Note the photos were not (for that month only) but that is nothing compared to getting this months of data back.

I love MyWonderfulDaysJournal and have been using it for years so I’m keeping my rating high. I just ask that they vet their updates a little more going forward. This experience was very emotionally taxing.

I have found this application very easy to use and for me a much needed tool in my trip through grief. People who are going through the grief process are encouraged to journal and indeed it is a valuable tool to help a person recover from the pain of a lost love.
One of the things I was pleasantly surprised about the program occurred when my phone decided to pass on to another world. When I received the replacement phone most of my Apps were missing. I downloaded My W Days and realized I had lost over two years of journal entries. To my surprise the next morning all my entries were recovered. It was a great relief. Thank you.

i have been using my wonderful days consistently since 2015. MyWonderfulDaysJournal works smoothly and is able to contain the thousands of words i have poured into it over the years without once being glitchy or slow. there are also incredible features that i believe are unique to MyWonderfulDaysJournal, such as the search option. being able to search for a key phrase helps me organize my entries and makes it much easier to reread certain ones. thank you so much for creating MyWonderfulDaysJournal 😭 i really don't know what i would do without it!!!

I love MyWonderfulDaysJournal so much!

Today I received my iPad Pro & it works wonderfully (that wasn’t intentional) on it in addition to my iPhone. I bought my iPad for other reasons like school, etc. but with the keyboard I am SO happy to have the option to type within MyWonderfulDaysJournal vs. cramping my hands from trying to text so much (when I am trying to avoid texting others my every thought or worry in the first place). Now I can just free my thoughts into MyWonderfulDaysJournal (somewhere safe & sound) and I am still able to clear my head at the same time.

I hope you guys keep up the good work & never get rid of MyWonderfulDaysJournal!

Very easy to use. Love the format. Love that I can note to my mood every day and have the ability to go back and track it. Love the little stickers that I can use to bookmark certain things on certain days… for example you can use the present sticker to note days that to were special... then easily find those days and go back and read about them… I’ve bookmarked different stickers to mean different things that I want to go back and look up later. It’s a very cool app. I’ve downloaded other ones to try before I came to this one and I and this is definitely my favorite!

Three years after using MyWonderfulDaysJournal , I still love it! I start my 2017 resolution with my bestie as "keeping a journal". It could be as short as one sentence. And I've been keeping it! MyWonderfulDaysJournal syncs perfectly between my iPhone, iPad mini, and MacBook. So it works when I need the therapeutic "Dear Dairy" time, and it also works when I'm crazy occupied and only have a few seconds sitting on the toilet to myself.
