Ratings and reviews

My use case is syncing with Syncthing back to desktop. This is possible, but you have to manually allow "Storage" permissions on Pixel 2 device. The app should ask user for those permissions. Besides the above, so far so good! I'll update my review after I have more time using the app.

It keeps stopping and having to be closed, so I uninstalled it. Restarted phone and app. No better. Unable to save entries due to regular crashes. Using on android, samsung s9 non-rooted.

Terrible! Doesn't work. Can't add a journal entry. Please fix because the desktop version works great.
