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.
Reviews for Journey: Diary, Journal
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.
