I find the Journey app very useful. It is extremely helpful and allowing me to effortlessly record my thoughts. The Journey app is so useful to me, that I bought a yearly membership. I have the training app on both my phone and my tablet, and my data effortlessly synchronizes between the two devices. I will definitely be renewing my membership when the time comes.
I've used journey for over 4 years and I've generally enjoyed my experience. There are a few missing photos, but it's hard to say for sure if that is the apps fault or mine. Although you have to buy the upgrade, being able to export your whole journal is great so that I don't have to worry about losing years of entries. One suggestion that I've made and was told would be implemented but hasn't yet, is the ability to change my name in the app as I no longer use the name I signed up with.
I've been keeping a journal every day for now than 20 years. I have used Journey for 2 years in Android and Mac. The app has a lot of issues. First was the export function. Then it was scrolling. The cursor would not stay at the place where I was typing. Take a long time to sync. I pay for this app and am frustrated. I am searching for a better app.
I've used this app for years, was even a premium member, it was great. I started having a login issue with the app and reached out to their support to help me out. I reached out 3/23 and so haven't gotten anywhere. I have to keep sending reminders that I'm still having trouble, very one email from them, respond, nothing. I'm incredibly frustrated and disappointed. I guess I'll look for a different app that has better support.
Journey has been very good for me. I like the fact I am able to record past and future journals. By doing this I am able to keep all my memories alive. I also like the throwback feature which you cannot do with ease on a physical journal. I have shared past memories with my family. I am able to record history like capturing newspaper clips. I would really recommend this app for anyone. I have been using now for more than five years and I would not swap it for any other app. Keep on improving.
Horrible experience with sync. First, I lost my phone first. After downloading the app in the new phone, I thought all my journals will be saved in cloud already. Unfortunately, I lost 3-4 of my history pages, and I cannot find it back anymore. This is really sad. What I don't understand is, after downloading my journals from the could, how come 5, 6 March's journals were there but not 2, 3 of March? There must be something wrong with your sync servers....
Updated Review 3/11/2022: Customer service was prompt and helpful for my issue. ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ I realized that data intensive entries - e.g. those with lots of texts and photos within the body of the entry itself are a no-go. However, if there's one area of focus devs should work on.. is sync, especially for data-intensive entries. If we can get that up, I pledge to adjust to stars. In the meantime, I'll use the web app as a main point of contact. Thanks for the app. Improvements needed.
+3 stars: I like the layout: it is simple and user friendly. The calendar format is great to view my entries of my baby's achievements and memorable events. I also like the widget. -1 star: to attach videos/photos to an entry, it can only be within the last 330 of your own album that you have access to upload. This makes it virtually impossible to upload images to old entries. -1 star: the app for my smart watch is really pointless. It displays my latest entry and does not let me make entries.
I've been using this app for years. It's absolutely perfect. However, the mobile app has recently had a few problems. When writing/editing journals, the text feels squished and it's hard to edit. It feels like some update a while ago made the text editor harder to use.
This is a great journeling app! I do enjoy and highly recommend it. The only complaint I have right now that I hope will be fixed soon, is that if I try to take a picture through the app rather than uploading from my gallery it often won't save the picture, but it will take it and seem like it's going to but then doesn't. I only upload pictures from my gallery. This doesn't make it unusable, but I hope it gets fixed soon!
I subscribed! I downloaded a few picture journals and trialed all of them. I found Journey had the easiest and cleanest interface. The customer support responded to me during my trial which other apps didn't. All the features the list works great and they're looking to build and develop it more. Great job
I lost everything I was writing after accidentally hitting paste when selecting everything & it doesn't allow you to go back and have everything return which is why I'm uninstalling the app. I would reconsider if the issues with undoing get fixed. along with it would also be nice to have a graph/table option & a way to organize the page
I have been using this amazing application since 2015. So many times changed devices, performed hard resets but upon installing application, never missed single entry....Untill this time...yes it missed all entries of last 4 months after re-installing application post hard reset this time...can't trust this anymore...
I have this app installed on my macbook and phone. I've been writing on both devices ever since. Just recently, I used my macbook to write a very long journal and when I tried to read it again using my phone, the date was there but it's just blank. I synced it several times but still got nothing. Good thing I was able to copy and paste everything I wrote on that day to a different app and retrieve them. Hope you can fix this issue thanks
I'm sold! By far the best journal app out there. I have one question, I know it's synced with Google drive but can you add Google photo and let it automatically sync so the last million years of photos are on here? Please?
Writing in this journal had helped me a lot. But an issue that I recently experience is when the application doesn't let me sync my entries. It is a big concern for me for the reason that I have been using my old device to write my journal. And suppose that it ceases to work, I wouldn't be able to have a record of my writings. Hope this will be fixed
I just downloaded the app and paid the annual membership. While using the app on my tablet, the screen will not rotate to horinontal to use with my keyboard. I went to the web app and the screen will rotate there but the text I type does not show up until after I click the save button on the entry. Edit to add: I just dowloaded the app on a second tablet, the screen will rotate to horizontal but when I click to start a new journal entry, it freezes.
I bought the lifetime membership because I feel comfortable to write in this app. I used to use book as diary for years. I think this app would be great if it adds features which make user possible to draw or handwriting on the daily page. The combination of typing and drawing or doodling could make diary become more personal and memorable.
Its been perfect until i updated yesterday keyboard stopped working. Please get in touch with regards to issue or how to revert to previous workable version. Otherwise i will have to consider ending my subscription. Thanks.
Great app. They keep running ads for premium service which is terribly annoying. Maybe they should just let people decide if they want premium and not run that ad every five seconds. Otherwise great app.
Been using Journey for close to two years and I really enjoy the app. I love being able to add photos to entries and being able to access them cross platform. Being a digital storage for my journal entries I can only hope they are safe and secure for the foreseeable future to come. That's my only worry when I was making the switch from handwritten to digital journalling. That ten years from now, will I still have access to my writing?
This is everything it said it was and it is very nice. But the popups to sign on to premium is too frequent and not nice. I know there is a premium plan and I know where to go to subscribe to it. So can it stop popping up everytime I open the app..or at least reduce the frequency.
I love this journal and I use it all the time. As someone who has always wanted to keep a journal but never really committed to one, I can say this app really helped. I still go a few weeks at a time between entries sometimes, but just having a place to jot down all my thoughts and notes and revisit old throwback entries and have all the fun colors to use is nice. It's a safe place to just let it all loose and feels very customizable.
