Love app but recent update causing problems
Molsdee
I’ve only been using this for a few months but it’s been wonderful. I just updated the app and now it won’t let me switch between journals from the main menu, and when I try to edit the entries to manually assign a new journal it assigns a different journal than the one selected. This is extremely frustrating. I did try closing app and reopening and still nothing. Please fix this. I’d like to continue using your app ?
The Best

This, by far, is the best journaling app I've come across. I've become consistent with my journaling for the first time in my life. They have worked out the syncing issues they've had. No doubt with me, one of the internet's best apps.
Best fit to what I was looking for
Boricua@Georgia
I purchased the premium version. I wanted an app that could consolidate every day events, experiences, little details and found it. This app allows me to record a wide variety of details and provides a convenient way to journal at the moment. I do not have to use social media to record my life; I can keep these personal experiences private. I can take pictures, write captions, select where and when It happened. I can create more than one journal for different purposes as well as tag entries for easy search. So far the best journaling app. I would like to have audio journaling integrated to it.
Are use Day One for work log

I am a service mechanic on elevators; I have to keep up with a lot of technical details and many sites. I have tried many methods and DayOne is the best, hands down! Also great support !!! Mark
Ok but with three drawbacks, and a no-buy recommendation.

The two things I hate are the subscription requirement for a premium subscription for non-legacy version users to get cross device syncing. I despise subscriptions and would not recommend this fir non-legacy users. It’s too expensive, Even for legacy users it costs $50 onetime to get syncing. That is the only reason I continued on with it. Even then my copy is hobbled. I have a limited number of photos that can go in an entry as a legacy user. As of this review it dies but support movies and does a poor job posting to Facebook. This software commands a premium price fir incomplete features and the hated subscription requirement. It is a no-buy recommendation from me.
Long time user still singing praises

I have been using this app for at least 6 years - I think longer and it is my go to for all my writing. I have a standard journal, one for poetry, one for ‘soul awareness moments’ (spiritual aha moments), one for a class journal and one about the story of the relationship of myself and boyfriend. I love being able to instantly add pictures, as that is often the meat of the entry, especially when I review entries from past years. Since most people’s memories are stored in pictures in our head vs words, it makes a lot of sense to include images. Great app, accessible over all devices, quick, easy and personalized.
Bring back multiple sync options
James Baxter
MAY 8 2018 UPDATE: Now the developers have disabled sync “indefinitely” (their word) because it’s so failure-prone. There were never any issues with Dropbox sync. I get that you wanted to lock-in your users so that they would be forced to subscribe to your app, but imposing an ineptly inferior syncing infrastructure upon us to do so is really beyond the pale. I’m happy to support your app financially, but please just admit you’re way out of your depth when it comes to syncing and reinstate Dropbox as an option. LAST UPDATE: After using this app for nearly half a decade and never once worrying if my entries were being properly synced and backed up via Dropbox, I now use the app with constant anxiety that the developer's new custom sync mechanism (that he's forced onto his loyal users because he plans on switching the app to a subscription model) is in some state of malfunction. It continues to be down even though the developer insists it's working again. This is an absolute farce. Way to erase years of goodwill. UPDATE: It's become rather obvious that the developer replaced the previously reliable Dropbox sync with his own wildly unreliable custom sync backend so that he can eventually charge users an ongoing subscription fee. Rather than being honest about this he continues to tout the new sync mechanism—a mechanism that, as of this writing, has been down for several days. PREVIOUSLY: Overall a great update and I'm happy to support the developer but I think the removal of Dropbox sync is fishy. Forcing everyone onto a custom backend feels like a prelude to charging users a monthly subscription fee. I actually wouldn't have any issue with supporting the app on that basis, I just don't think the baked-in Day One sync is as robust or trustworthy as Dropbox. The developer claims users were experiencing data loss. I've been using the app for over four years, all over the world, and have never once experienced this issue.
“Issues with sync”
Dawg1966
I paid, immediately the app gave error. The developer is aware of the sync problem but does not have a solution to fix it. Essentially the app works the same as before the $25 annual subscription that links smart phone, computer, tablet, etc. save your money.
