Lifecraft: Your Life Coach

Regrettably, I’ve have to reduce my rating in light of the new update. I am a Pro subscriber and use the app regularly. In addition to journal entries, I used the Emotions section to save notable quotes without assigning a particular emotion to them. This allowed me to easily find the entries on the calendar because they were all in grey. When they pushed out the recent update, all of my quotes were lost! The entry dates are there but the content is empty. Two and a half years of entries gone. *sigh* ———- Previous review: I started using this app a few weeks ago and immediately loved it! I decided to upgrade to Pro so that I could use the emotions and sync between devices. A few days ago, they pushed out an update which works fine on my MacBook Pro but is very buggy on my iPhone 6. Specifically, syncing is not working properly so an entry I just made on my Mac is not showing up on the iPhone. The sync function just seems to get stuck and restarting the app does not help. Also, the new Compass feature is confusing and doesn’t really add anything IMO to what was a nearly perfect app. I hope the developers will fix the syncing issue and not clutter this lovely, simple platform with less than useful features in the future.

This is journaling app is the one!! I have been diagnosed with adult ADHD (the extreme side) about 3 years ago, and as one can imagine, I’ve had ADHD all my life ever since I can remember. With that being said, I’ve been journaling as well all my life... and am trying to inter grade my digital world into my writings, I’ve literally tried about 10-12 different journaling apps, (paid money for half of them) and they where not exactly what I was looking for, let alone the amount of customization one has with font styles, color texts, and paragraph set up etc. and with a yearly (as well as monthly-yearly is considerably cheaper) subscription of $15- I’m hook~line~& sinker. And that doesn’t mention the fact that you also get writing prompts on areas of self reflection with an added “AI”. I could on and on about this one and I’d like make a suggestion if I can: adding some background images or colors to the pages of ones journal entries (maybe as a premium benefit) and some stickers (maybe limited for free and everything available for premium) I just think with more customization on the pages would really help make it ones own...like with real paper and stickers..... highly recommend this app for any person who has tried them all!!! Which was me until now!!!

I’ve journaled almost all my life and have used many forms of journaling: art journals, bullet journaling, online journals (remember Livejournal?)...you name it. I found Day One several years ago and it has been my preferred method of journaling for at least five years. However, Day One upgraded and suddenly their apps stopped syncing, now you need to buy the app (again, in my case), and for what? Minimal features? Enter LifeCraft. Everything Day One is and $10 cheaper with an added layer of providing emotion tracking and an intelligent assistant. I think it’s innovative. LifeCraft has definitely tried to innovate in a genre that is saturated and still manages to provide something new. I appreciate that. I also appreciate that there is an easy import option for me to get my entries from Day One. The interface is straightforward, the intelligent assistant unobtrusive, and the emotion tracking is well done. It looks as elegant, if not more so than Day One. Their Mac App looks great. It synced rather seamlessly with my MacBook, iPad Pro, and iPhone 8. All of that is a recipe for success. Good job, LifeCraft!
