You can make as much folders as you want, and although the colors available aren’t infinite they are pretty and enough. You can organize them with small index titles.
You can’t add your own backgrounds, not in the start page neither in the individual entries, so you only have the ones provided and after a while they become boring. They don’t say this in the App Store, so it’s possible to buy it thinking you’ll be able to have personalized backgrounds but no.
Although there is a little option to organize the folders in a category index you can’t make folders inside other folders so you waste time looking despite how organized your stuff is.
The app supports tags, multiple entries each day, passcode lock, reminders, a daily question, post statistics, weekly backups, synchronization, as well as adding photos, location information, and your mood to entries.
You can create more than one entry in one day. You have many styles and font choices. You can add photos, tags to your entries. Optionally, you can have pass-codes, reminders. You can opt to automatically add location and weather data. Search function built-in. Ability to export a portion or all entries to PDF.
Day One has no Windows or Web support, which can be inconvenient. For example, if users don't want to write a long journal entry on their phones and only have a Windows PC available as an alternative, they are not able to use it as a more practical alternative to write said post, not even using a web browser.
Membership and cross-platform premium costs are quite high for those who might be on a tight budget. Buying premium on all devices without membership could be costly.
Moleskine has unique and rarely seen features such as handwriting support, paintbrush, highlighting, color options, multiple notebooks that can be derived from different templates.
The interface is quite cumbersome; not as easy as Good Notes. If you need to find a page, there's no index or a way to search by word. The Page-Turn Assist works but as soon as you turn it off, pages are very hard to turn.
Pulls information from Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds, iCal events and pictures and video from photo library so that even if you don't add entries yourself you still have some record of the day.
I couldn’t synch, I couldn’t save into the cloud, couldn’t make an extra journal and ended completely disappointed because I paid and can’t really use it for anything.
The images in an entry don't automatically appear. You have to click a slightly dark button that tells you there are images in your entry. However, the images still appear small. If you double-click, the image appears large but the text gets covered.
You have to pay for each of the feeds that you want to import and you can’t import your photos from the roll with a date like in other more famous journaling apps.
It's still 'flaky', what you would expect from an app in beta. It sometimes crashes, thus unstable; it also freezes; it does not import, as yet. You are also unable to try before you buy. It has some work to do before becoming a quality app.
They have even stopped support and any link with current customers/users. Not replying to emails. Users are unable to access their old data. It is really bad, they raised millions from users in order to start this project, and now they dumped the precious data and memories.
HeyDay automatically pulls in your location data throughout the day and associates it with your photos and other data. If you wish you can then annotate with comments, but the core of your journal is automatically generated for you.
