Jorte has come a long way. – Jorte Calendar Review

I give this app 5 stars because of the flexibility it has. You can create tagging templates that really structure your diary entries. It's a lot more than a mere tag, they are actual buttons that you can categorize, swipe and layer in order to add structure to a diary entry. Another favorite feature of mines is how there are plenty of assorted icons to choose from for your calendar. You can even create your own icons and color code or shape them. This makes it easy to see the difference between events on your calendar. My number 1 favorite feature though, is how Jorte counts down your favorite events. It is so helpful to see, on a side bar, what "important" marked events are upcoming and how many days or hours you have until it happens. A birthday may show 200 days remaining. Its a really great bulletin board style of event tracking. This app runs a lot better on apple than it initially did. I've been experimenting with Jorte since my droid days. It'd always impressed me as an app. I transitioned to apple and was disappointed at its run speed at first. Fast Forward to now from 2 years ago and Jorte is a lot smoother. I haven't been able to find an app quite like Jorte. I've tried creating my own spreadsheets on excel, using various calendars in the app store, using physical paper notes, iphone notes etc... But none of them offer the sync ability, simplicity, look and structure of Jorte. Jorte is easy to carry and literally does it all. Diary and Calendar features aren't just extra add-ons. They're literally fully developed features that show that there was plenty of thought about how useful these things would actually be. You can even sync to evernote, have the images from your diary show as a background for calendar days or have your diary entries show up on a swipe to the left of the screen. It's great. I really recommend this app to anybody looking to get organized. It took a while for me to settle into Jorte. It can be intimidating to learn all of its features at first. But its worth it. If I had to describe Jorte in one word it would be Functionality. This app is built with the intention of Functionality in mind. I am not a premium user at the moment. I still enjoy a lot of great features though.
