Software Reviews and Criticism

  Unique, Customizable, Game-Changing App!!!

  I’m only able to edit the review I have already made, but in doing so, I am “upping” my rating to 5 stars. There is truly no comparable application anywhere that even approaches the ease of use, abundant (and not bloated) features, with the number of customization tools available as Grid Diary 2! Anyone who uses this app can surely tell that there is a lot of love and care in its design, maintenance, and extension...I talk this app up to everyone I know who would be interested. There is literally simply nothing like it out there, and it truly is a game changer. 2 minor features I’d still love to see: - In the “Timeline” context, using the filter function, the weather stickers and emoji stickers are not multi-select, while the flags are. I would think that if a user wanted to select all entries where they were either upset OR sad OR mad, they would be able to do so. - A desktop version of the application and cross platform synch would be awesome as well. :) All in all, this is a great app...well worth the meager price of subscription, and I certainly appreciate your efforts in delivering this kind of quality mobile application. It is truly a credit to your creativity, care, and tenacity to be able to produce something this amazing! Thanks!!!

  Most Important Journal App + Export to PDF

  This is the absolute best journaling App for iOS. I’ve tried several in the past. The hardest part about keeping a journal is know what to write. This app makes it easy by suggesting questions to answer about your day, week, current events, what you have learned, or what is on your mind. I LOVE that I can customize my own template of questions. I LOVE that all of the questions are arranged in a “Grid” and I can answer all, one or none of them. Some of the custom questions I have created for my journal include: Where did I see the hand of God in my life today? What am I currently praying for? Who needed a little extra attention or love today? What can I do for that person tomorrow? What did I learn today? What problems did I encounter today and how did I solve them? As the cherry on top, you can easily export your entries into a PDF, which turns into a beautiful document. Using this app helped me to keep a more consistent journal than any other method I’ve tried.

  Very Few Features

  The app is good and I understand the need to make money off of the app through subscription. However there are very few features without paying. I can’t add a second journal. I got this app to track my quarantine habits but I can’t make a second journal to keep track of my dogs. This was slightly confusing but understandable. I tried to add quotes so I can see more variety of quotes but it was locked. I also tried to add a second reminder on the journal app so I would remember to use it. Of all things to lock they locked this. Normally I would delete the app but I love the format of the grid so much I can’t. This app probably deserves less stars but I respect the need for a subscription it’s also not very expensive and I may get the subscription later if this app really works. All in all it’s an okay app take note that as much as I complain about it the subscription is only two dollars a month.

  Best journaling app

  Believe me, I’ve tried many journaling apps. This one is by far the best. The layout is amazing. It’s simple, effective, and super easy to use. Every night, I select a couple of questions to answer and record my thoughts down into the boxes. It really makes me reflect on what happened. One thing, however, I think it would by better if every day, you got a random assortment of questions. This makes it more exciting to see what you have next, and let’s you think even deeper. You can, however, change the question if you don’t like it.

  I Want To Love It

  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE everything about this app, and even pay the premium membership. The only addition that would be super cool to see would be some place you could have a checklist of things that repeat to each day on a daily grid or something. That would be the ultimate app for me, and I would be a forever customer, as long as you can fix one thing: I do a lot of memory journaling for my kids to have one day, so I use this a lot to quickly write down my thoughts and happenings throughout the day until I can spend the time to make it "pretty" in my physical journal. But you guuuuyyys. The syncing has to get better. Sometimes I will input things on my phone, sometimes my Pc. And a lot of the time they don't crossover and once and a while disappear completely. These are my memories! My kids milestones! This can't be happening. I will be a forever yearly premium customer if I feel confident my memories aren't going to be lost... and right now I'm not confident. It's so frustrating!
