Daybook: AI Journal & Diary

This app is PERFECT!! I was looking for something I could jot things down about the day while still being able to edit later in case I forgot something important. It’s also extremely convenient that I can see the beginning of multiple entries according to date. Psychological cues are very important to me due to having a traumatic brain injury.

I’ve been using Day Book for over a year, transferring in my past paper journals (mostly BuJo) and keeping my daily journal with more consistency and positive results than ever. While auto save would be a nice addition, I didn’t even mind that I had to remember to save and rarely lost and entry due to my oversight. I upgraded to the paid version recently to get the advantage of being able to add more photos. I boldly suggested that adding italics, bold, underline, and bulleting would be a nice touch, and, voila, it happened! Oh, my joy at being able to add lists more easily and attractively, giving me something more familiar to work with—expanding possibilities and efficiency. Then CRASH! Suddenly pasting causes intermittent-but-frequent shut-down of the app across all my devices—iPhone, iPad, and Windows-based laptop. I cut and paste a great deal from emails and messengers to avoid rekeying the same information I’ve shared with family and friends. Soooo frustrating. Additionally, I cannot add photos because two buttons appear off the edge of the screen. The one to add photos and the one to strike through. The photo add is important. Really important to me! To say I am heartbroken is an understatement. I am greatly inconvenienced by what has been a wonderful boon to my journaling and productivity. I’m looking so forward to an update that corrects this issue! The thought of trying to transfer all of the information I’ve saved on this app and finding something as simply seamless as this used to be makes me quite nauseous!

This is really a great app—except for one thing. God forbid you get a text message or a phone call and you've already written 5 paragraphs and you answer the call or text—you go back to Daybook and it blanks out everything. I realize you should save it before but when you have to answer a call you don't always have the time. I can't tell you how many days I've lost long heartfelt journaling only to have it deleted by the app. Extremely frustrating. Developer, you must, MUST fix that awful flaw in your app! I will give it 5 stars when you do, but not until then!
