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.

This app has been great so far, however I wish there was an option to set a different password than the lock screen, or have an option to only allow biometrics. I may have friends that I'm comfortable using my phone and knowing my lock screen password, but not having instant access to my journal app.

This app sounded like a gimmick when I first heard about it, but it has actually been excellent! I would like to see more steps for privacy such as allowing the cloud back up to be end-to-end encrypted.
