MacJournal for iPhone App Reviews

Still no proper Dropbox or Cloud sync. Need to run both machines on the same wifi with apps running to sync. So 2007!

Just needs iCloud or Dropbox. Please tell me it wont take a year?

Was working fine before I updated. Worthless

Ive posted before, but as a warning, for anyone who journals on a serious basis....DO NOT USE THIS APP!!!!!!!!!!! It has wiped out my Desktop app over and over again....as I write this I am once again in the process of trying to restore some writing that was very important to me. Just dont waste the money!!!

This app worked fine until upgrade. Now it will not sync.

This used to be a good app until the update last fall when texts began to disappear. Whats worse, when I wrote to them in order to get help, they pretended the problem did not exist and that I was the only one experiencing the vanishing of the texts. But when when you look at the comments section, youll notice its a common problem. Even today, after downloading the latest update, this problem was not solved. Why update if youre going to create more problems. Stick with notebook.

Desktop App is rock solid, but with iPhone App Ive experienced problems, mainly when importing journals, (with images), that were created in Desktop App. They appear on the iPhone w no text or pics

Since Notes no longer syncs via WIFI, Im happy to be using this and the desktop version to keep track of my journal, Apple Notes (which import very easily), ideas, finances, photos, etc. I have tried every journaling app there is and this is the best by far. I had some issues with syncing and the developer was very responsive - it turned out to be that my firewall was blocking the sync. Good price for an impressive app. The desktop version does a backup before every sync automatically -so if there are any issues, just restore it (though I have not had to do so). The images are attached on the iPhone version but display differently - they show as an attachment.

I am a full time college student, and I have to write a journal for every day of the week and it syncs between my iPhone, Mac, and my iPad with no problems!!!

Ive used MacJournal for Mac for several years and now have been very pleased with this companion app for iPhone. Sync works fine and all other features that I have used so far have worked flawlessly.

The syncs well with my desktop app however, the photos and videos do not appear on the iPhone. Not even a placeholder. I will point out that the embedded code for my You Tube videos that I inserted using the desktop app appears in the iPhone. I havent "field tested" the app yet but the test blog entries sync up just fine. Bottom line: works as intended as a companion app. I just wish it had more features.

Friday, August 23, 2013 Please update this app. I paid for this and the fact that I cant even write out a completed thought in this document really annoys me. Please update as soon as possible. This is a great app! The only thing that bugs me though is that I cant write beyond a certain point. I cant get rid of the keyboard. Please update so that I can type beyond "94 words" Thank you!

This would be the #1 note app hands down. It does every thing I DREAMED of needing when I examined it. Except it wont scroll when i type in an note. Limiting the entrys length..... Uh fix?

2.8 Stars. I use MacJournal on my Mac and have for several years. The iPhone version works very well except for one major issue. Sync between the Mac and the iPhone can lead to loss of data. The developers obviously know this is a problem since they even include an option for restoring lost data. That function only works occasionally. A 5 star app becomes 2.8 due to unreliable data management. Makes me sad

Crashes every time I open a smart journal

Entries from 10 years ago are gone with this last update. GONE. So now, youre gone from my devices too. Adios. Zero stars but Apple insists I give you at least one star.

How hard would it be to implement Dropbox support? This is crazy. What year is it, 2008? Just add this. Weve been asking for it for years. Also, I would literally pay money for a new icon. What is this icon supposed to be? A book in a drawer? Is that supposed to signify that it is hidden? Or is the journal itself part of the drawer, signifying that is not only a journal, but also fine drawer hardware?

I have just purchased the app and not even had a chance to add a entry. So far, it is very modern and edgy and most of all updates with the latest ios 7 views! I love it! Good job!

Twice! On update and once previous. Dont trust this to keep your information. I want my money back. This junk app has lose valuable information. It is useless since it cant be trusted. I have it two chances and just lost all my information kept in it. What good is a journal that will go blank!

Product still has a major bug after the last two updates. Im still seeing multiple copies of my entries. I store my journal on Dropbox. Its as if every keystroke is saved as a separate entry. PLS ADDRESS THIS!
