Reviews for Journey: Diary, Journal

I subscribed to Journey in June 2019 and really liked the app. My subscription renewed after going into lockdown. I lost my job and immediately cancelled my subscription and wrote to the Journey app developer and requested a refund since we are struggling immensely for even food money. I had not used the app most of last year, as well as, this year. Their response is that they cancelled my subscription, but no refund would be issued. They have every right to not refund me, but I really thought they would be a little more understanding.

I've been using the app for a couple of years and really love it. I love journaling but I would always go so long between entries because I would get lazy. I still don't journal everyday like I should but with this app I'm doing much better. I love that I can put pictures for the day, that it has automatic location and temperature, so when I look back in my journal all that information was automatically put in.

Great app! I appreciate and need this veey much. The only thing that bothers me is how much you have to re-enter the passcode. Every time you close out of a journal entry, the app prompts you to re-enter the passcode, even if you haven't closed the app (which gets kind of annoying tbh.) Other than that, it works fine and has no problems!

Update from Feb. 5, 2023: I found out sync works with Google Drive. Old review: Nice app for the price (free!). Fits my needs for basic writing. I haven't lost data and I can't complain. I would advise backing up content to other apps every once in a little while. I don't quite understand how sync works with this app and where data is saved.

Update: So after almost 45 days since downloading I have about 18 entries (a couple were 2 short ones from same day) but that's an average of around every 3 days! Happy w/ the interface I mostly use the speech to text entry method haven't really added to yet Great for a journal/diary Used to write ✍️ mine occasionally but this is helpful as 1. You can use voice to text 2. You carry phone around so it's right there! May even read in some of my old journal entries on same days but past year's!?

Great journalling app. The layout and everything is pretty intuitive, and I haven't really encountered any bugs. One thing I'd like to possibly see is a way for us to create and insert our own templates. Every day I like to write down under specific headers what I did yesterday, what I learned, what I think I should've done differently, etc, and I'm forced to copy all that I wrote down the entry before and reuse my headers. It'd be nice to just be able to have a way to paste down my template from one button instead of going through the process of opening my previous entry, copy pasting it into my current entry, and then replacing the body with my current entry.

So far there are ads whenever you interact with the app, but their own ads, not a third party. I'm Ok with it, but they are too often. I understand that they want to promote their services, but it's nice to give a break once in a while. Also their lifetime subscription is too high... If they gave out more of a discount and more often, then it would be a nice incentive to buy. I like the app overall, I'll make another review later.

Everything I ever wanted in a journaling app. Starting with easy mood logging, geotagging, photos.... Based on geotag, automatically calcs weather for that day. Can't wait to use it for a year, so it shows me what I was doing on that day a year ago. Just a ton of features in a slick package. Now I just need to remember to update it.....

This app has been exactly what I've been looking for. I'm using it to track my health as opposed to just straight journaling. I use it along with voice input to make it easy to track water intake, what foods I'm eating, headaches, and other issues. It takes care of tracking the date and the time and the location. It also allows me to tag each entry so later I can pull all of my entries about water, for instance, if I want to see how much I've drunk in a day.

This is the journaling app you're looking for. It provides a high level of security to give you the confidence to write whatever pops into your head. It's flexible and allows you to add additional metadata and attachments to really enrich your daily journal. It also syncs across all of your devices and even has a web interface so that you can add to or edit your journal anytime you need to.

Hi, so I installed this app yesterday. Since I'm allowed to upload videos I was thinking, oh, this would be a nice way to make a video diary. I bought the upgrade to see if the maximum size of a video would increase a bit, but it didnt... I cant upload videos that are more than a minute after editing them a little... I dont think I'm going to continue this, but only because of that. I mean all in all, this app is ingenious, but the video attachment option could be upgraded a bit to allow for slightly larger files with the purchase of an upgrade. 😟

This app is beautiful in its simplicity. I have a thought, or a list, and i can quickly jot it down. You can add emotions, tags, pictures, and probably more... The kids do something adorable, I can take a pic and create memory. The entire world doesn't need to know. Anyway, simple easy to use app to track and journal.

I really enjoy Journey and I've been using it for about a couple of years now. It's aesthetically pleasing and soothing and the latest editor features are fantastic. What I don't like about it are the costs for accessing the different platforms. When I first started using Journey, I unlocked premium membership for the Android app only to find out that I had to pay for the Chrome app, which I did. Recently, I learned that if I want to use the web version, then I have to pay again. It's unfair.

I've always been someone that journals, but have lost some through the years. This syncs up regularly and protects my entries from going missing. Also has really cool add-ons like location and mood tracker. Love it!!! Update: still loving it!! Been using this app since 2018, it's 2024 & I've just this year decided to pay for the advanced version. Works really well even if you don't want to pay for it though! Highly recommend!

I like the app. A downside is the journal does not have an auto save and I've lost a few entries because I forgot to hit the checkmark to save my work. A big plus is that I don't need WiFi to use the app. Nov 21,2024. Two years since my first review. Journey continues to improve. It meets my needs. I especially like the ability to post images to my journals. It's a travel-log, and I can view all the images at once, instead of having to view each separate journal.

I really like the app and should probably just dish out the cash for premium. However, using the free version, they advertise the premium soooo much it is extremely annoying. You can't hardly do anything without having to close a premium ad. Edit: I did dish out the cash for premium and I'm glad I did. It has been a great experience, online and everything. One improvement would be that some of the exports have weird formatting, and one of them, I couldn't see the dates.

Easy to use and like the prompt questions. I usually forget it exists though and only write sporadic entries. Like that I can add pictures to my diary entries too. However, I thought that I bought a lifetime version of it and not have to pay each year. Of I'd known that in the beginning, I'd probably chose not to enter this app at all. It's simply too expensive.

I just tried to go back in this app to read some old entries and realized they are all gone. This is so disappointing! I tried to contact customer support and just get a wait screen for half hour. I have the "premium" lifetime membership. Guess I have to find a new platform and figure out how to get whats left off the app. Wish there was some support.

I used to love this app. But their in-app upsells have become very aggressive. I finally fell for it because I wanted to try the AI. The AI was not very good, within a few minutes of using it I knew I didn't want the full membership anymore. Customer support said that technically I could have tried it for free and refused a refund because the features are listed on their website, disregarding how misleading the in-app upsells were. So they got my payment I guess but they have lost a loyal user.

Love this for quick notes, snapshots, shower thoughts. Ideal quick journal app. edit Sept 2025 I still love this app. Sometimes I use it more than others, going weeks or months without writing anything and then coming back to it. Lately I've been noticing how much of my day to day life I don't remember, names of people I met once a few years ago, places I've been, which of our kids did or said what. Writing daily about what my day and what I'm hoping to do next has been nice.
