Ratings and reviews

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.

Great concept, but a text editor bug makes the app greatly frustrating. It disrupts the flow of writing, as the cursor jumps to the end when I try to edit, making it a battle to fix typos. I've also noticed that when inserting text via Gboard's Writing Tools, it may also duplicate text or wipe what you've written all together. While I'm neutral on the AI reflections, the core writing experience needs to be fixed. The app has great potential, but this fundamental bug needs to be addressed.
