Coping mechanism
I love This so much bruh like I use it whenever im happy or sad or depressed mostly and I just type out whatever I feel like saying and this app knows me better than my friends if 7 years lol I suggest this as a way to express yourself and to keeps track of how you’re doing
Don’t rely on Journal App
I’ve been writing on Notes app for past 7/8 years about some of my thoughts and sometimes other unimportant stuffs. Nearly a month ago, I shifted all the important writings to the journal app along with their actual dates (written) and deleted all those from notes. A week ago, I started taking backup of my iPhone and also made the option “On” for Journal app under the section “APPS USING ICLOUD”. Now today after entering into the journal app and finishing writing a new entry, I noticed, I’ve no past entries left other than the one I just finished writing. I’m using iOS 17.4 and really saddened with what I just witnessed. Those were not just pieces of texts rather my utmost precious moments that I tried to articulate every now and then. I can’t even find them in online iCloud drive. I mean then what’s the purpose of backing up?!!

Finally! Good MVP but need to improve formatting
I have been using NOTES to journal for years finally apple made a built-in journal app. Thank you!! A few observations :
- The spacing makes the interface looks crowded and untidy. The formatting option on NOTES are much better for writing. A bit disappointed as apple are known for its aesthetic. Journaling app is quite a beauty game. Pls improve.
- I don’t see a page where I can easily find a past entry without scrolling forever. How do I find an entry a few months or years ago when I want to?
-Would be nice to integrate the mood tracker within health app with journal.
