  • Best Journaling App

    I have had the same app for years. Every time a new one comes out I try it and continue to use Day One, there is no other journaling app like this one. Journaling is the single best habit I have, it has changed me. It was easier to become consistent using Day One.

    I never leave reviews. But this app is too important not to let everyone know how great it is. If you care about recording your personal history, day-to-day events, or things that really matter, this is the app for you. There’s no better way to understand who you are or where are you were going than the app called Day One. The story begins today… This is day one. iPad OS 26.4.2
  • Be Ware of the duplicate charges

    I wanted this app to sync between my iPhone and MacBook so I purchased the subscription. They’ve charged me twice for the same subscription. They agree it’s the same but they blame Apple. When I reach out to Apple they blame Dayone for having different ID numbers for the same subscription as a result reading as two different items. I have wasted so much time trying to get a refund and I have no recourse. I am very unhappy having spent $100 for something so simple. I should have just used Google Docs. They need to do better.

    I've been using Day One for about six years now, and it's extremely user-friendly. I've become much more consistent in my journaling by leveraging the prompts. The templates are great if you already have a structure for your daily journaling. There are a bunch of templates already available that you can use for inspiration, or you can use them directly. My favorite part is exporting my journal entries for the year into a book, which I've done for the last five years. I do that in hopes that my kids will be able to capture my thoughts and things that I journaled as their parent, when it makes sense for them to be able to go back and read through them.

  • AI integration poor

    Need to integrate with AI tools better to publish sections of journals to blogs/books easily
