  • Glitches since adding AI

    By ElrusA
    I’ve subscribed to this app for several years. It has worked flawlessly up until recently when they added AI. Now my ipad app glitches out and won’t even show the entries I just added. Syncing between my ipad and iphone is very slow and has gotten progressively worse. Support used to respond right away, but I’ve been waiting for them to fix this issue for days without response.
  • Complete money grab

    all the basic features are hidden behind pay walls. You can’t even put it two images in the same notes without paying on top of that the prices are egregious $74 a month I believe. It didn’t seem to me because the app is very basic. You can find way better app for free doing the same thing for much better results I will be copying and pasting a few notes that I have in here into my new Notes app and will be deleting as soon as possible😭
  • Forever bound to the subscription

    Great journal app, but if you ever stop paying for the subscription you are no longer able to access all the journal entries you made while paying for it. This is atrociously wrong to do to customers.
  • App not working on iPad M5

    I have used Day One app for many years and loved it. However it recently started to update on my new iPad M5, but got stuck and would not work. The Day One app was showing as darkened as though near end of update. The developers responded to my inquiry regarding the problem. It is fixed and back to normal. Yes, I still love the app. Loved the app before this.
  • Not a good ui

    There are some parts of the software that are really great like the ability to send photos to the journal. But the interface on an iPhone is abysmal if you have a long journal. It’s constantly bringing you to the top and you have to scroll all the way down to get to earlier entries. And if you delete an entry it again brings you to the top you have to scroll back down to the bottom entry you open will also bring you back to the top. It’s so incredibly frustrating!!
  • Needs Dark Mode love&Android Love

    It’s a shame that the drawing mode on dark mode, does not work (ios). It makes the colors saturated (extremely dark). I tried drawing a sun using yellow, and it was just this ugly mustard dark yellow. But on light mode, the colors are fine. Also the app for android, does not work for drawing. Which is a shame! I am trialing the Silver subscription, and I like it! But on my phone, there is no drawing :c please make drawing availability for Android!
  • How do I get my money back???

    I started a free 30 day trial about 5 minutes ago but I was immediately charged for a full year. I’ve already gone into subscriptions and cancelled. HOW DO I GET MY MONEY BACK???? Very deceptive and dishonest practice!!
  • I love this app - please remove ai from the interface

    I love this app and use it all the time. Moreover I’ve used it for 8+ years so the ability to search through journal entries, upload photos, and create various journals for different things has been great for organizing my introspective practices. However - I don’t want to see AI on the app interface whenever I’m writing. I really wish I could toggle off even the ai icon. When I’m journaling I’m putting down my thoughts and feelings and recollections - flaws and all - and I don’t want or at all need ai anywhere near that process. I understand that it’s “off” in my app, but the fact that it’s there every time I journal is an annoyance and frankly mars an aesthetic and the positive brand association (one of very few tech brands that I’ve enjoyed despite the forced ai everywhere).

  • Be warned, company pushing their AI filled Gold Tier hard

    By Another rando human
    I've liked the app a lot - nice intuitive format, and very easy to use if you like to add photos and screenshots directly into your journal entries. But the prices are increasing, and it has gone full Team A.I. - they are pushing the a.i. features hard and defaulting people with paid subscriptions to the highest tier "gold" subscriptions that include it. Not a happy camper. Prior to the a.i. stuff, I'd have given this app five stars.
