User Reviews for Notebook - Diary, Journal

Best Journaling App (IMHO)

So, this thing probably deserves 4 stars with This thing beats Reflect any day adds but they are only bar adds and I paid for their removal, so it doesn’t bother me. That being said though, this app is straight to the point. You open it up and... we’ll, journal or take notes. I use it as my daily journal since I don’t have the time to stop and write on paper. This also works offline for those who don’t have internet or data to work with at the time of usage. One thing that I do recommend to the developers is that they make it to where you can put third of fourth so on and so on with a decimal and small letters (st, nd, etc.) instead of “1st” because it looks kind of tacky.Overall I’m impressed with this basic yet fun to use app, nicely done and easy to use!

A journal, not a diary, with flexibility to write what you want

This is a plain, generally straightforward journal, that allows a person to write about what happens , their feelings, or whatever they want. This app fits the bill.You can go back to a table of dates and add to something that you wrote, but unfortunately the addition is not dated. IAlso, if you find yourself at the index, getting elsewhere does not seem intuitive. You can see from there how to start writing, but not necessarily figure out how to find what you already wrote or the instructions. Once you figure that out (press the number next to the year) navigation is easier. However I like the ability to write freely without limitations on the number of characters you use. I like being able to reread what I have written before and add to it even if I have to add the date of the new comments myself. I like this app a lot, and would give it a 4.5 if I could

god tier app

i have used this app for 5 years now for writing, diary style entries, lists, reminders and anything else i feel like typing. despite my friends urging me to switch to google docs for more features, i can’t bring myself to write anywhere but here. that said, this app can be a pain sometimes. i’m not sure if this is still an issue, but a long time ago if a document got too long, it would crash upon opening it. i’m pretty sure this is fixed now though. i’m writing something very long right now, it’s probably at 15k words, and getting down to the bottom of it to write is a pain since i just have to swipe over and over. overall, not the best app for writing, but very good for diary/journal purposes. also, it has a password lock! for me, someone with privacy and trust issues, this is very useful. you can also configure it to only require a password after a certain amount of time has passed outside of the app, so you can google something and come back without using the password.in conclusion, all hail this app and i hope the creator is having a great day. your app has been with me through 3 phones bro

Great App

I was looking for a super simple, uncluttered note taking app for journaling. And I LOVE the simplicity of this app. Great practicality, and usability (although I’ve only had it for one day so far). My only complaint is I don’t like that there’s a “viewing mode” and “edit mode” with entry pages. Reason being is when I’m switching between apps (“Safari and “Notebook” app) to copy & paste text from articles/inspiring quotes, the notebook app keeps reverting back to view mode. It’s kinda a nuisance because it’s an unnecessary extra step. Example, “Google Keep” app once you’re in the middle of editing your notes/adding text and you switch through different apps, it won’t default back to view mode. You can just keep on editing away :) Overall, great app. Opportunity for improvement.

Terrible update doesn’t let you change the time anymore.

I use this app to put my medicine in. When I forget to put in I could always go back and put my finger on the line of the medicine i took time after I’ve selected the medicine that I have already put in I could put my finger on the time and it would let me change the time to the correct time. Now I do that it’s blank I cannot change the time so I cannot keep an accurate account the medicines I have taken this was a great app five stars I would’ve even given it a 10 now it’s no longer an app that I can use for my medication. It was the best one I have ever found. This just happened after the new update. I have an 8 plus phone. I have had this app for years. I could bring it up at the Doctors office and show them all the medicine I had taken, even print it out. I now will have to find a new one Sooo disappointed. I hope this is an error in your update and it will be corrected. I should never have updated this. I find most updates only make the apples worst. You don’t seem to follow through to check that everything is done correctly and made better before you update. Sooooooo upset and disappointed.

Exceptional! Easy to use!

I have always kept a manual notebook diary. Recently, I considered transferring my journal to app-based. Before purchasing, I decided to try out available apps. This was my first choice. All went well for the first two days. (deleted the rest of my previous review). With some reservations, I finally bought the app. After several journal entries, I felt a growing sense of doom. How do I get my journals into a different medium, like pdf, intact? How do I preserve my recorded thoughts from vanishing some day? What happens if I were to switch phone carriers? Can I sync my entries to a cloudbased repository to be retrieved at will? The questions are endless, and I hope Koji Ito, the developer will read these reviews, and take our interests and concerns into account. I hope he can read and understand English. Domo Arigato.After using the app for some time, I felt a bit more comfortable with it, hence my reevaluation to 4 stars. The minimalist approach is impressive, but an upgrade that includes a search function would help navigate and locate critical records quickly.

Love this app!

I love this app not only because the price was right at $1.99, which is what I paid the other day, but because it is simple enough to use and is the best for my particular needs. I gave it four stars because even though it’s the best for my needs, there is one feature that I would like to see in updates of this app: I would like to remove the preview feature when looking at a list of the various notes that I’ve made. If I have a title of the note, I would like that to be the only indication as to what the note is about. I don’t want to see a small bit of what I wrote in the list view. I will update my review to five stars if this feature that I’m requesting gets added to the product.

One small suggestion

I gave this app 4 stars as opposed to 5 because there’s one small improvement that could be made to this app to make it perfect! This app functions as a personal journal for me to write my thoughts down in an to vent when necessary. The only thing is missing is that I cannot paste images or pictures onto the pages of the notebook. I can use emojis but I can’t paste any of my own personal images, Memes, or use my Bitmoji at all. I attempted to see if I could use my Bitmoji and it actually locks the keyboard down and then I cannot get it back to the regular keyboard in order to type in my passcode to allow myself back into my Notebook. There seems to be a bug there. I’ll have to wait several days for it to reset itself and let me back in. But I enjoy this app very much and I use it several days a week. I hope the developer will read this and consider my suggestion because it would be fantastic if I could paste in anything I wanted to on my pages. Thanks!

Would give 5 stars but...

This is really a well-designed app in its simplicity and functionality. But, it’s been over two years since the last update and there are just a couple of features it’s missing that the designer should consider adding if it won’t take away from how it feels now:As others have noted, you can’t insert photos. Second, you can only print, email, etc. one note at a time. It would be really great if you could send an entire year, or the whole notebook to a pdf or Word file. Or even just a text file. Third, it is not available on my iPad mini, which is my preferred writing tool. I would love to be able to switch between my phone and my iPad, maybe by saving my files to Dropbox as I do with my Scrivener files.All that said, it is a beautifully designed notebook app. I haven’t found anything else that looks and feels as natural as this one. As a writer I would use this a whole lot more if the above were available. But for now I will continue journaling on Scrivener, though it is a little more cumbersome creating new notes and formatting them consistently.

Really good but need dark mode

This app is amazing. Its easy to use. I love the turning the page animation, it adds so much in my opinion. The app has never crashed and lost my files yet(and I have had it for 8 months) and when I switched phones, it carried over all my data. The ability to switch the dates to make sure everything stays on its own page is very useful. One thing this app desperately needs is a dark mode. I write most of my notes at night and even on my lowest brightness setting it still hurts my eyes. So many other apps have a dark mode and I feel this one needs it as well. If this app can add a dark mode it would make it perfect.
