Absolutely the best journal app available. No ads. No fees. No limitations. I use this to keep track of my health. How I sleep, what I eat, and any times my oxygen levels get low. ALSO, I can export everything to an excel spreadsheet to send to my doctor. Truly amazing app and has a tremendous effect on making my health information easily shared with my doctor. Thank you to the publisher/creator!

I've looked so long for a journal app like this. It's honestly near the top of the best, maybe the best. It's an actual journal. Literally, it's a journal. That may sound stupid, but when you look at the other journal diary apps, you'll know what I'm talking about. UD. For sure. But saw hasn't been updated since 22. But you still respond to reviews. Is this the end of the app? All there'll be? You can't spend a week on a widget? Another color? Whats so hard about adding more colors

Thanks for the kind words 🤍 a new app is scheduled for the future 😎, with a full rework and complete new features. There will be very few tweaks and improvements to this app, probably by the end of the year. It's a very busy period, but stay tuned! 🫶

Got it on a Samsung S24Ultra. Samsung UI 8 just came online with OS16. I can't get the Journal app to show up on the App screens under UI 8. Any thoughts? I can get to it directly through OS16 -- BUT, that becomes a real pain.

Hey! Thanks for the report, looking online it might be an issue related to OneUI 8, when app drawer is set to Alphabetical order. Try to change to custom order, hope that solves the issue!
