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.

Just started using this, but the severe limitation at this time is not being able to use it on my computer. It's Google - come on. Should be across all platforms like Task and Note. If I'm at my computer so I can "type" better, journal should be part of that flow. I like the journal part, but I need a web version for when I don't want to use the tiny keyboard on my phone and I can't "talk it out" in a quiet room or cafe.

I need a web version. I turn off my phone at night and then might get things done on a laptop including journaling. Put it towards our Google data and sell more Google One memberships! I do like that each entry is only a title in the list, so over time, I can see the big picture of the whole year and time period. Journaling in a Google Doc, it's hard to see the big picture. And literally adding pictures to certain events (TG, etc.) is fun.
