Daily Journal 4+

Promising, but password protection has major flaw

I purchased Daily Journal about a week ago and have used it quite a bit since then. For the most part, I like the feel and functionality of the app. Getting to your previous entries is not as intuitive as it should be, but that’s a minor complaint.

What really bothered me was learning that the password protection is incredibly weak — sure, the password prompt pops up when you open the app, but the application menus at the top of the screen are still available. If you select “View all,” the app lets you in without ever having gotten the password…making the protection pretty much nonexistent.

If it weren’t for this glitch, I would unabashedly endorse this app. Being that I downloaded it expecting a level of security, though…I will be replacing it.

Hi,
Thanks for your review, with detailed mentions of the security protection issue.
The issues have been fixed in the current version, and now the password security will work flawlessly.

Great App

I love the Daily Journal app. They recently updated the app to allow you to take pictures to post at the end of your notes in your daily journal. I have been using this app for a while. They are always fixing and improving the app. I had to contact customer service a few times via email. They reply back right away and always are helpful and make the necessary changes to improve the app. It is definitely worth it.

Where are my entries

For the most part, I like this app, but don’t like it when my entries just seem to disappear…nowhere to be found. When I spend time typing out my thoughts only to have them disappear…not good. Where are they going… I see no “save” button when I am done…some entries are there, some are not. HELP

Hi,
Thanks for your review, mentioning the issues.
The part of the line you said "…some entries are there, some are not".
Maybe listing is filtered by some month/year. Please click on top-left, and in the month/year chooser, click 'disable filter', and check whether all entries are shown up.
