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 ok it's nothing special. It's exactly like Google keep notes but with an AI that summarizes the reflection. you can't decorate it, have some scribbles, or anything you can do with a real journal and it takes away from personalizing it. the UI is lackluster as well. I wish it mimicked a real book where you can flip through the pages instead of having tiles. also, it hardly sends out a notification to write in your journal. There should be an option where you can have it set for daily remind

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.
