Ratings and reviews

I was excited about the app, and it influenced my Pixel purchase, but I wish the entries all flowed together like a physical journal, where I could scroll to continuously read my entries. Having to click each day to open it would be like having to remove a piece of tape covering each journal entry in a physical journal. I should also be able to indicate more than one mood in a day. And this should also be available on desktop to make typing long entries easier. Lots of potential.

It's a pretty basic journal app when compared to something like Diarium. The AI implementation is okay but I would actually like it to be more involved. One issue I do have is that every 10-15 seconds, the cursor jumps all the way to the end of the entry. It isn't a big deal as I'm typing the entry, but if I go back to edit a part of an entry I have to be quick about it or move the cursor back up each time it jumps to the end again.

Easy to use, maybe a little too simple. Would be useful to have different ways to organise entries rather than just a long list. I like the use of Gemini within the app to help with prompts or summarise the entry. I would highly recommend, probably my favourite journal app for simplicity, just lacking a few features.
