They made the updates and so far it is loading again and saving journal entries. Thank you!! I have used this app for over 2 years and have loved it until recently. I spend a lot of time entering my reflections only to find them to disappear. Super frustrating since the last update. I do hope it gets fixed soon. I hate to have to cancel my subscription and move on.

Really dislike the update and am going to cancel my subscription. Used to be able to see all my pics/entries on the home screen. Not anymore. The app takes a really long time to load each morning when I open it to do my journal. It's so annoying and it makes the product frustrating to use, not a positive experience. Any custom pages you want to add will only go at the end of day. So you can't make a specific category of morning brainstorms. It was a good app, now it's frustrating to use.

I like the app. I like that you can journal on your phone every day. The most recent update has made my opinion of the app go way down. I try to journal every morning and most of the time I go through the morning reflection and it doesn't save. Incredibly frustrating.
