This app is a life-saver.
For so long, I’ve been trying to keep up a small and consistent journaling habit. This app has been perfect for me, someone who is always hitting the new tweet button to share her thoughts and feelings. Day One has been such a gamechanger for me. I have taken the time and redesigned my phone around my journaling habit, I am never away from a method to create a new entry. This app has curbed my social media time and replaced it with personal time that I spend with myself every single day. At the same time, I’m capturing the awesome moments that I will hold onto forever. Nobody does it like Day One. They are the stone cold original digital journal people. The competition can just go HOME! (The premium subscription is definitely worth the money by the way. You get so much more than you pay for, this has been money well-spent for me!)

Best Journaling App Ever
Day One is simply the best of the best. The flexibility and simplicity make it easy to shape to your needs. I journal every day and this helps me with templates if I need them or free-form if I’m feeling it. You can customize and create separate journals for whatever your needs are. The app designers listen to feedback and add features that make it even better. One app that I will always pay the annual subscription for because it’s worth it.

THANK YOU!!
Nothing out there comes close to this app. Worth the monthly/annual fee!
M1Sanchez ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Definitely worth the money!!!
With very few exceptions, I’m not a fan of annual fees for apps. This is one of the very few exceptions! The value you get from this app is amazing. And since they added the ability to attach or record sound journal entries, it’s a no brainer. I wish I had this app throughout my entire life! You have got to get this app if you are a diarist. A must!

Well worth the investment
Works well. Beautiful interface. Memories and thoughts documented are worth more than any amount of money.

Great App, Yearly Subscription is Fully Worth It
An app I use quite literally everyday. Each feature that it comes with in both the free and premium versions make it easy to be consistent with journaling and personalize your written experiences more. If you’re looking for a good journaling app, Day One is most definitely a great choice.

Best Journal Application I’ve Ever Used
Hands down worth the money. So feature rich and flexible. I actually look forward to writing in it every day as a mindfulness exercise. I’ve been using it for 29 straight days and it syncs perfectly between my iPhone and iPad. Couldn’t be happier with this application. Maybe one of the best apps I’ve used of all time.
