    I love this app. Helps me stay organized and I love that I can have separate categories and create checklists. I’ve been using it for 3-4 years now and don’t plan on stopping
  • Ok app.

    Overall a good app. Issues with when I add pictures. I'm using a template and if I want to put it under a specific heading it goes to the following. I can't find any w/ arounds.

    I like this app and have never had a problem with it, but recently it updated and automatically put me into the gold tier. I think I was able to move it to silver, but I don’t know for sure. Why didn’t it ask me beforehand if I wanted the premium tier? How do I know for sure what tier I’m on? I have no desire or use for AI and it gives me pause that the developers want to push this on me. Why are you giving me a “free” gold tier that I didn’t ask for or want? I’m getting increasingly concerned about the privacy of my data. Why can’t I store my data on iCloud? How do I know that the developers aren’t using or looking at my data? What happens if the app shuts down suddenly? How will I get my data? I’m almost ready to go back to pen and paper because of these issues.
  • Best journal app ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have struggled to keep a journal for many years. I’ve tried different things and nothing stuck. After I started using this app I can proudly say I’ve been writing in my journal every day for over 10 years now. I love everything about this app and the methods that it uses to help remind me to keep writing every day. The fact that you can add videos now and more pictures is amazing!!!!
  • Good but laggy

  • Paywalling Features That used to be Included

    I’ve been using DayOne for 12 years. If you want to change your pricing structure, add new features, new subscription tiers, fine. Go ahead. But this latest change removes features, in an attempt to get me to pay them more money. Before the update, I could create entries with up to 10 photos, now, after selecting three photos, it insists I pay. Overall I have loved using this app for more than a decade, but every time they make major changes, it becomes evident how little the developers respect their users. Bloating the app up with slop “features” and removing functionality that has been present for years just to try to extract more money kind of tells you everything you need to know. I guess it’s finally time to ditch this app for one for one that doesn’t get worse with each update.
  • Ugh! Loved it for 10 years but only recently having repeated trouble

    I’ve been using this for 10 years so you can imagine how distressing it is when it crashes and can’t be fixed easily. This is my history and crashes are happening repeatedly. I’m really missing having humans who can talk you through the problem. I’m working with the AI help bot but unable to complete the steps recommended because the app won’t update. Is this what happens when an app is sold?
  • Been using since March 2007. Now, bye

    I guess it had to happen sooner or later, esp since Bloom sold to the WordPress people. Wordpress managed to do what no competitor could: push me away, permanently. I will NOT permit tech with a KNOWN 25% hallucination rate anywhere near my journal! Not to mention the other donkey dust shadowing every AI implementation. Renewal (June) cancelled. At least I have a few months to conjure my backup to be imported elsewhere.
