Awesome Experience so far I prefer to mentain a digital version of Diary. It's easy and time saving. This app helps in every way to maximize the journal writing experience. Graphical features are the exciting parts to write with. Really loved this one. Gonna use this for quite some time. It would be great if the entries can be accessed in a web platform. Thanks for such a smooth and secure Journal.
MANOJ PRINZ
Love this app very much. After carefully reviewing all it's alternatives I just decided to use this application throughout my life. It's well crafted. UI & UX is awesome. Sync's smoothly. Super-Secure. Works fine. I highly recommend this app to be everyone's life journal.
Patama Ramchune
Really nice I really love how the diary display. The app also easy to use.
Daniel Baker
Just what I needed I love the accessibility of this app on my phone or on my computer.

Losing my ramblings So since I downloaded the app I have lost my ramblings 3 times now because it dosent seem to auto save. I am using a galaxy 10 tablet and it's very easy to hit the button that goes back or exists the program. Combined with no auto save means lost thoughts. Liked program over all but losing what I write isn't helping me at all and I'm probably going to have to find another program to use.

Simple and easy to use I have taken up journal writing again thanks to this app. I used to fill up notebooks with my entries when I was younger, but now I'm too lazy to write by hand. I'm a fast typer, though, so an electronic journal is a great idea. Also, I love that it can be unlocked with my fingerprint and that it syncs via Google Drive.

Hi Andrea, thanks for the feedback. There will be a tick button as long as you write something in the text field. Could you email contact@2appstudio.com if you are experiencing this issue? Simple and easy to use I have taken up journal writing again thanks to this app. I used to fill up notebooks with my entries when I was younger, but now I'm too lazy to write by hand.

Very special app to me ♥ I Have So Much To Say But Sadly,I Am Too Lazy To...This App is spectacular!!! its made me feel happy through the worst days of my life. YOU GUYS ROCK!!! I Wish There Was A 100% Star Vote Because This App Is FLIPPING AWESOME :D!!! I LOVED IT!! ITS EPIC!! ITS MAGICAL!!!! Its the best diary ever and should be spread across the world!!!! I wanna give you guys a big super squishy hug for creating this magical app!!! 👍👋💫
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. June 5, 2016
Thanks Mewsie! :) Edit: Please restart the app so that it will update. It's always close to hand! Desktop, laptop, tablet, phone - wherever I am Journey is always with me and synced up to date. The result is, this is the first time I've ever managed to keep a diary going for more than a few days. Great app. Love it.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. September 1, 2016
Thank you much Peter! :) Fix quality of uploaded photos! I'd uploaded a screenshot of my bank account summary. The actual screenshot was deleted from my phone because I'd already uploaded it to my Journal app. I tried to look it up a few days later but the screenshot is very blurry and I cannot make out anything. Please improve quality of pics.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 25, 2016
Thanks Linda! Edit: The original image is in Google drive. You can always download the uncompressed version when you export to zip. We will be adding an option to turn on high definition mode for the pictures. But please note that this will lead to more storage space used by Journey. Can't log in anymore due to Google deny! I'm disappointed...I don't want Google in anyway to be connected to my "Journey" app, so the choice between deny and allow is made, tho choosing deny brings up the problem that I can't login anymore? I think I should have the right to choose without being locked out!
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 9, 2016
Hi Anne, Journey only work with Google Drive. Hence, you are required to sign in before you are able to use it. This is to prevent loss of journal entries in the event of loss of device or device factory reset. Nice, but... ...seems to have a (so far) not fully determined photo-integration issue. It took 3 attempts to have a photo taken within the app to finally appear as available. Photos should also immediately appear in the input (editing?) window and not after exiting it.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 24, 2016
Hi Jimmy, is the camera icon blinking before the photos appear? Could you email contact@2appstudio.com for assistance? Thanks. Simple clean design I like it simple and keep a record of the snaps that I did on tablet. One less star due to occasional pic not showing up properly. Keep it up and will provide updated reviews when I used more often.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 23, 2016
Thanks Louise! Could have been better The entries list in journey tab is looking distorted. If we can set a background image/colour for details page it would have been visually appealing
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 23, 2016
Hi, what do you mean by distorted? Could you send us a screenshot via contact@2appstudio.com? Id like to purchase premium But I need to know that added features if go down that way. Also if I go Premium, is it lifetime? Also can it have a panorama method picture. Cause when I access camera via journey It is only plain camera with plain single shot, it does not include the camera features of my phone. I hope you read my edited comment. :) Have a nice day!
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 7, 2016
Hi White Knight, the premium is lifetime! :) I'm liking it 😀 it has such a great user interface aswell which makes it a pleasure to use. Will this ever become cross platform? I would love to have this on my IOS device aswell. Thanks. Edit...... still no cross platform 🙁
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. January 1, 2016
Hi Comfy, thanks for the review. The motion tracks your current motion state (e.g. stationary) Journey is available on Chrome and Web too. We will be expanding Journey to other platforms in the near future. Edit: Yes, it will be cross platform. :) Love it, but concerned...had one of these apps and one day it was gone with all of my thoughts. I don't want that to happen again Do you plan to stay around?
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 19, 2016
Hi Darcell, thats a good question. Your entries will be yours forever since Journey backup your entries with Google Drive. Most amazing personal diary I wish I found it earlier.... nevertheless... been using it for the last 4 months... and it's awesome !!!! We can link photos and notes to the places of travel... and it couldn't be more perfect!
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 27, 2016
Thank you Vineetha for the amazing review! Hands down this and jotter pad #1 #1!! If you are writing your latest novel, journalism, journals, outlines, or whatever! This, and jotter pad cannot be beat! Why word and Google docs amongst other editing suites are awesome, this and jotter pad fill a nice spot of enough to get the job done simply, quick, and without loosing the inspiration of the creative moment!! Excellent apps!
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 7, 2016
Thanks David! :) Easy to use It's the only thing that makes me actually keep a journal! I've tried so many times and always fall off. So far, I've been able to stay on track
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. September 9, 2015
Hi Rita Hodgson, thanks for choosing Journey as your journal! It's an awesome application, but.. The last update messed it up. Each and every time i make an entry, the application crashes. Please fix it.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 26, 2016
Hi Kadakambil, we have yet to encounter this bug. Could you please email contact@2appstudio.com for assistance immediately? Diaro user : 1 Thing Good /1 Bad Hey there, Diaro user here. Left Diaro due to problematic sync features and sync required pro. Used journey, here is one thing i liked and other thing i hated. The Good thing is 'It has integrated Google Drive sync. It is free! But But But I hated one thing, where's the title of my entries? Journey doesn't have titles for entries? Why? Its essential. Why Fingerprint sensor option is unclickable when my phone has fp. Also, tags should be displayed right below title of entry beside weather .
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 15, 2016
Hi, please ensure that your device supports Android 6.0 official fingerprint API. LOUSY I could not make even one entry because it kept telling me to turn off some sort of screen overlay which I could not locate. I turned off and on everything I could find nothing made a difference. This was the most frustrating Thanksgiving of my life and I am 72! There is nothing that tells you how to get started it's extremely confusing you have to be a genius to use this app. Unless you can write code forget it!!
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 24, 2016
Hi Jody, this is not related to Journey! This is due to your third party apps. For example, Twilight. Please read more about it here: https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-turn-off-screen-overlay-in-Android I would like to BUY this app But there is 2 Big problems !!! 1. There is no options to Record 'Audio Notes" 2. Can't create folders. It contains only one folder called- 'journey' (Please include these folders also- *To-do, Special notes etc . Please include these 2 features also.... % Otherwise it is the best!!!
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 23, 2016
Hi Rashid, we will consider your request. Love it I have tried many diary apps and I like this one the most. Very nice UI. I'm not much of a writer but this app helps me to write consistently for the past week. Highly recommended.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 10, 2016
Thank you Pitak! :) The best I've been trying Journaling over the phone, tablet and computer for the last several years, but always coming back to good ol' pen & paper. No app or any other digital arrangement satisfied me or even gave me that same intimate feeling.. of being alone with your thoughts. Journey is, by far, the best journaling app out there! Congrats!
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. May 14, 2016
Thank you Romulo :) Excellent -- better UI than anything else I've used Do it! Just try it out and see -- being able to attach pictures and videos is a real plus, though the attachment limits seem arbitrary.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 13, 2016
Thanks Erich :) Great way to log everything After keeping a paper journal for many years, I decided I wanted to go digital. This seems like the best option, although I wish it could integrate with IFTTT and capture more things from other services. I would love to make this an aggregate journal of ALL my activity.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 15, 2016
Thanks Colin. We plan to integrate Journey with IFTTT soon. :) A Huge Security Flaw... The developers who made these apps are superb. But I found that if you backup your files and you uninstall this app and reinstall it back, you can actually access your entries without even needing a passcode! Please make a solution for this :(
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 5, 2016
Thanks for the support! :) Edit: There is no security loophole. Change your Google password to stop syncing. Please read more about it here: http://help.2appstudio.com/lock-with-passcode/ Great App. But... Having heard about it from multiple sources, had downloaded it. Surely a great app. But a tiny request..could you guys possibly add an option to add recordings (or simply record an audio file)? That would make this app flawless.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 8, 2016
Hi, thanks for the review. We will consider your request! :) Layout options! The app works really good, nevertheless is it important to export the text with the pictures in a well looking way. Right now everything has to be layouts again by my own! Please fix it!
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. October 2, 2016
Thanks Marius :) Simple and easy to use. If supports for custom template with custom field and able to run statics on the data, it would be great. Where are the data synced on google drive, I couldn't find it. Just want to make sure I won't delete it by mistake.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 16, 2016
Hi Ming Zhu, thanks for the review. Journey stores your journal in Google Drive hidden in-app data. http://help.2appstudio.com/learn-more-about-google-drive/ It is inspiring. To be able to type and publish what is on my mind at any moment in the day is simply wonderful. I get to release my thoughts and feelings by using this app.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 29, 2016
Thank you so much Faith! Love it! It's so nice that this can be accessed on mobile devices and my laptop! Not to mention the ability to attach files to personalize a bit.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 15, 2016
Thank you Amy! :) Wonderful Fantastic I've used this almost everyday since I downloaded it in August. 100% best journal app out there. Easy to open and create an entry, no matter the length. Perfect for on the go notes or brilliant moments of inspiration- I prefer to keep them in here opposed to your regular "memo" app
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 15, 2016
Thank you so much for the kind review! :) So useful Reminds me to make an entry every day to track weather and garden and animals, so I know when to expect the goats or sheep to birth and what I planted when and how it went. Edit - I love it even more now as I can leave it in my pocket and using "note to self" voice command record an entry without removing grotty wet gloves :D
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. April 29, 2016
Thanks Bec :) I love it but I hope for improvement I love this app. But I think it will be perfect when we can move the app and the data as well to SD card. Anyway, I love the fact that everything I had written can always be loaded in any gadget I use. It's also simple and does have great features. It's the best app so far. Thanks and good job!
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 24, 2016
Thank you Lisa :) I like this I've had to uninstall and reinstall this a few times because I had to reboot my phone - had nothing to do with the app - each time all of my journal entries were still there so I like this one. Plus it has fingerprint for password which is really convenient. I save some pictures but mostly just journal entries. Been using it at least a year now and it only gets better.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 27, 2016
Thanks Steve! :) Themes I wish this apps support for themes ( not just dark or day mode )...makes the UI looking good 😙
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 19, 2016
Thank you Dedy, we will consider it :) Very good app Loce this app but when I'm trying to add a photo from google photos it bugs and won't let me do it, adding other pictures instead. Also when you filter by tag and tap on one of the note, you cannot navigate through your filtered notes, it just makes you navigate through all notes.
Two App Studio Pte. Ltd. November 21, 2016
Hi, could you email contact@2appstudio.com for assistance? Thanks. Using this for a lifetime! <3 It's perfect. Couldn't ask for better. :)
