Essential app
Helloise22
I've been using Day One for 11 years (!) and by far it is the app I use the most in my daily life. I appreciate how seamless it is across my different devices which makes it easy to write both quick notes and long screeds, and save screenshots, etc. My favorite feature right now is the accessible little box in the desktop version. Thank you Day One team!

I tried to create 5 books and paid for premium. 1. after creating books, unale to pay and buy, wasted 2 days with problem can't be fixed. serious waste of time trying to create and buy the books.2. It stated that mac app is included. upon installation of the mac app, I am made to sucribe again although I am using the same apple id. The app couldn't read that I am premium subscriber and had already paid3. the app can't be run on my iphone x properly. I created a book of 260 pages and it will not even create the preview of the ook. The app is hung after me trying to reopen and generate over 10 times

I love the app cause it pops up with pictures and Kodak Moments passed by. Bringing in beautiful moments - I have been using this app for over 6-i believe 7 years now - This app works and sync well. I love it… Until someone else give me something better then this. I will continue to use this app.
Day one review
Domyname
This is an awsome app! I love all the features it contains and I love how it also looks so simple. But I think if the price of the subscription was lower then I would buy it. I mean every year 200 dollars is worth it but I would not really want to buy it. But anyways the app is really nice and I would recommend it to people who wants an app for journalling or other writing stuff.
- New Back and Forward toolbar arrows and a History menu to revisit recent views
- Fixed journal names reverting to an older name or becoming unreadable, for accounts with many journals
- Improved translations
- Stability improvements and bug fixes
