About this app

Day One is the journal app that reinvented journaling. Completely private, cross-platform, and designed to never fill up, Day One is designed to let you capture your life as you live it. Use Day One as a daily journal, personal diary, note taking app, travel log, or gratitude journal.

“Day One creates something so rare it feels almost sacred: A completely private digital space.” – New York Times

“Day One makes keeping a journal delightfully easy.” – Wired

“It’s perfect! Does what it says on the box. I was able to import my stuff from another (pricey) journal so that I didn’t lose those entries. It’s easy to add multiple entries to a day and to keep pictures. And it’s lockable, keeping private thoughts protected. I will happily use Day One for years.” – Day One user

Nice & simple but seems to have a bug or two. most times I try to cut and paste inside of a journal entry, when I hit the paste button the app freezes and I get a message that the app stopped responding. it's frustrating and a time waster. it's the only app on my phone that behaves that way so I hope they fix it.

This app has great potential. I love that there are many options for documenting your thoughts and ideas. The one issue I have is that when you attempt to go back and correct a word, the app duplicates the word. Looking through older reviews, this has been a longstanding issue and has yet to be corrected. I also read that features for android are still being developed. For these reasons, I decided to wait to updgrade to the premium version.

Hello there! This seems to be an issue with Samsung's in particular. Please try disabling Auto Correct or using a different keyboard like Gboard to see if that helps. If it doesn't resolve the issue, please reach out to us directly. Day One > Settings > Support > Contact Support

Great app! The reason only three starts is that the month listing continues to be off. For instance, it's May now but all my May entries are under June, April listings under May, etc. etc. for each month. There was one or two times when I opened the app and the month listing's were correct but then it goes back to this wonky listing. I have tried uninstall ingredients and reinstalling the app, updating the app, and making sure my OS is the most recent.
