Write.r - Idea Draft

App is simple in design, but could be better. Like the choice of papers, especially parchment. Also has my favorite lettering which most don't ( Zapfino ), yet there is room for improvement. Was hoping it could be more like a book with turning pages. Although it's nice to be able to add a photo and your name, I find that the "age" of person should be removed as it is not important. One thing that has always annoyed me about journal apps is that a date is placed on every thing you write. You should make that an option so that those who want it can use it. Lastly it would be great if we could place our writings in the order we would like to see them ( hence the removal of the date. Add these options and I will definitely give 5 stars.

This is a relatively expensive app for something kind of simple. Am I missing something or is there no way to write an entry longer than one screen/page? At a certain point, what I am typing goes under the key pad and I can't see it anymore -- no pinch or swipe control. Nice that I can use landscape mode for the bigger keypad, but the no scrolling problem happens sooner in that mode. I agree that it would be useful to be able to export or at least email entries. I also wish I could add pictures to entries. And I wish I could reformat font and page background after I save an entry. I am still working with this as a journal app, but I can't imagine using it for note taking.

Just had a big disappointment with a journal app (LeJournal) that I had wanted for awhile but turned out to be not so great. Then I remembered that I had downloaded a journal that was free for one day the previous day. That was iJournal. So far, I am very happy with this journal. All the customization that was missing in LeJournal is in this journal. It doesn't have the old-journal feel of LeJournal with the flipping pages instead of scrolling, but at least it doesn't crash, and you can change fonts and paper and themes every day if you want. I agree with the other reviewers that there should be some way to export an entry or all the entries. Even emailing an entry would be great. I have been looking for a journal to replace my more teenage-oriented 9 Square Diary, but sadly, I have not found anything as customizable, adaptable, and all around useful as 9 Square. I am 37 and would really like a "grown up" journal, but have yet to find one that nears the sophistication and with developers as responsive as 9 Square.
