Four years later still my favorite

Ive used this journal app for years. Ive periodically viewed other apps, only because Id like integration with my Mac. But none compare to this one.

What is a journal? A place to write your thoughts. A pen and a piece of paper. A word processor and a keyboard. Its the THOUGHTS that matter, not the method.

If you want to keep a travel journal with pictures or document your kids activities, get a scrapbook app. Apps that try to do everything end up being unusable.

The features of this app make sense for a traditional diary/journal. You want to record the date, including a prior date. The ability to categorize with tags is great if you want to review thoughts on a specific topic. This also makes it easy to turn your journal entries into a blog article if you want to.

Choosing paper style and font mimic the way youd select a physical journal and pen. Choosing a font that feels like "you" adds to the experience of journaling. And thats what writing should be: an experience.

I am so glad this app is still around and has retained its simple but key style and features. If you dont like it, get another app. Let the rest of us continue to enjoy this one.
