Very nice! – Movie Maker 3D Review

It is very handy for me to keep track of my personal photos and journaling. You can back up to iCloud, which is free. Or you can use the proprietary service called "Timebox cloud" offered by the dev. It is not the same as iCloud sync. You pay extra for it. BUT you don't have to use it. I just use iCloud. You can share a story via PDF by emailing, Facebook or tweet. Any of these three actions will automatically generate a PDF. Please allow us to more freely size and rotate our photos. It would be nice to have the ability to add small stickies and place them on top of our photos or wherever we like on the page, and put text notes on them. We could delete them if we did not need them later. Audio notes, placed anywhere on the page as well, would be great. To be freely dropped onto the page and moved onto various parts of the page as needed (changed later if desired) and deleted if necessary. No Dropbox option. Your information is locked inside this app. No export/import options. If you need to export to another journal, or if you need to import data from other journals, you will not be able to do it here. I do not see any import/export tool. Photos: Too small. This app gets major points because we can see them enlarged on another screen, and zooming in is wonderful. But how about some size flexibility on the main page? Feature requests: Tags would be nice, multiple tags per entry, and make them searchable. Free ePubs (in ePub format). Autosave and Instant save options. An Undo/Redo option would be nice: let it undo the last 20 edits or so. I also dislike that once I accidentally put a rating for an entry, I was unable to delete the rating entirely from the entry. I rated it "I Liked It." My only options were to change my rating, but I could not remove the rating entirely. The screen which shows my entry is too small. I would like to see my entry full sized without the side panel. It looks cramped. It doesn't feel like a real journal if I can't see the full page. More paper options would be nice. I could not find a way to move a previously created entry from one category to another. And not all of us are using it as a "Yearbook" so allow us to toggle on/off that "Self" entry. I created an ePub preview and the look was not what I wanted at all. I am not looking for a Timeline/Yearbook where my age shows up on the top of every page. This is simply a journal about one subject: cooking, and I only want cooking entries and photos of recipes, but no superfluous information which only makes it less useful and less customizable and gives it an annoying Facebook feel. I don't feel like I'm in a journal at all. If I wanted a printed copy, it would be useless with all this extra crap added by the dev. People keep precious memories on these journals. To not have any reasonable forms of backup that do not rely on the dev, such as Dropbox, and to ask people to pay for a full PDF of their journal when other journals offer this service for free, is ridiculous.
