Ratings and reviews

This app LIES. It claims to allow you to export your journal. It does NOT! Over four years of daily use wasted. It is not possible to do. They claim you will receive a link to your email within 24 hours. I have been waiting nearly a month. I have emailed every email contact listed for the company on their web page and via the app store several times. I have called the phone number listed - no answer. Avoid this at all costs if you ever desire to export your journal.

When I downloaded this app in Jan 2021, it had averaged almost 5 stars. But now there are more 1 stars than 5 given. That says a lot to how many users got pissed off with the recent business model change, including myself. They were gracious to give me a year free of premium access. However, lately the app has been so glitchy. Multiple days of the same day have been appearing. One will be the one I completed, and the other will be a blank one. When I delete the blank one, they both get deleted!

While I'm not fond of the fact that the app got changed without any type of warning, (which was very uncool 👎🏾) I do appreciate the fact that they're giving previous users one-year free subscription. Had they not done this I would have deleted the app and look for similar journal app that was free. I'm not used to paying for things like this.I intend to use this next year deciding if the app is worth paying for next year. In the future, please warn your users of an impending change.
