User Reviews

Hi! I’m writing this review to say that I think this app is very cool. I found it being talked about on Reddit when looking for a Social media type journaling app. If you’re also looking for the same thing, I 100% recommend this app. In fact, I look forward to when I’m able to afford the premium (which you don’t really need to use the app, a for sure positive.) However, as the title states, there was a feature I noticed was immediately missing.. editing. When you send a “message” so to speak, there is no way to edit it after. I’m glad you can copy and delete them, but being able to edit said “messages” after sending is very vital. I hope to developer adds this at some point, or at least adds it to the list after seeing this review! Thanks for reading, Em 🩷

Just started using the app and so far I'm enjoying the simplicity. I also use Workflowy for a more "outline" structure with indented tabs, etc. But I like the single time line with this app, it's great for mind dumps and idea captures. My only concern: can I synch between my iPad and iPhone? So far it looks like I can only use it separately on each device. I'm constantly bouncing between the two and would like to capture and combine notes from both. Is this a current feature or maybe something that might happen in the future?
