Ratings and reviews

This app is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a simple way to journal and do creative writing in one place with better organizational tools than a simple notes app could offer. I also wanted to be able to track moods and symptoms without all the statistics of a mood app, as those can create obsessiveness for me. All basic functionality is available up front. Paid add-ons are very low-cost and feel like a way to thank the devs for their hard work rather than being nickel and dimed.

please add an option to add the mood emoji to the overall day in the calendar. I usually write in this journal 3 times a day and add an emoji to each block, but only one is displayed in the calendar which is more than often not how feel about the overall day. it's the only thing that's holding me back from using it as my primary journaling and mood tracking app. also, there should be a normal "sad" emoji, for when you're sad but not "crying" or "disappointed*.

I've been using this app since 2022. I find it so convenient, I've had no problems so far, but since I last updated the app, it takes a long time to load. When I'm writing, it suddenly closes on its own. I thought it was just a temporary bug, but this has happened several times, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall the app. Please give me some advice on what I should do or find way to fix this issue. Edit: Glad to receive a quick response from the dev, thx for the fix, love this app so much!!
