I’d say is not there for 2 reasons. Even tho i want to see it on the iPad and mac, i’d say it’ll take a while until they find the best way to do it. As a lot of ipads are family ipads so by that alone, it isn’t really private or personal anymore. And kind of the same with mac. And also, if you type it in on a macbook, it’ll be way more visible around you if you’re in a cafe or livingroom, etc. might be dumb and niche but i think it’s a big reason for their choice not to add it
The largest issue with the Journal app is that it isn't available for iPad. It makes a lot more sense that you'd have the Journal app available for iPad first, or at least the same time as the iPhone. This doesn't make sense to me.
Looking at how well apple implemented the calculator app to the iPad with math notes etc. I really wanna see the journal app for the iPad with beautiful handwriting features, ability to add, plug in various aspects of our lives with apple music tracks, our personal photos and videos, locations, cute stickers, the possibilities are just crazy!
I'm convinced Journal will be released for iPad / Mac sooner rather than later since that's the nr 1 thing people want. There are other features I'd like to see as well, such as better over views (world map, calendar etc), and tags or other options to sort entries by people, places etc. The "on this day" feature of Day One is also greatly appreciated and would be a welcome addition to Apple Journal.
@@timchesonis for now im religiously making the journal entries in iphone, with the hope that Apple will wake up one day and decide to put this on other devices.

@@nskmodnar yeah good point. 👍 not sure how the iCloud family account works, maybe one way to lock the Journal entries to specific user accounts in same device. Should be possible but yeah require time to implement 😁
I’m using Day One since 2016, it is still much better than Journal but I always prefer to use Apple apps when they’re available and good enough. What I would need is an import feature, I can’t imagine to manually move all my memories into Journal.
I'm a Day One user as well and it's one of my most used apps. I do like that Apple have created a journal app of their own but it still needs a few more features before I would even consider making the switch. For me the most important ones would be a map, and a "people" tag or similar so I can sort my entries by persons I've written about. Of course also import. Manually moving thousands of entries is not an option.
@@UncleSinger-33 ohhh ok, I like both apps (Bear and Day One), but it was the subscription that made me drop them. But whatever works for you (people) is best (or something like that 😅).
Still no macOS or iPadOS versions. Because when I need to write down my musings on life, my iPhone is the go to device with its tiny keyboard. Way to go, Apple.
You didn't mention an important new feature that you can now make voice recordings which also do transcription and you can choose to make the transcription part of the entry. This is huge for me.
When they put the journal app on the iPad also is when I will start to use it. Otherwise why would I want to type on a virtual keyboard when I could use a real keyboard with my iPad. It is much faster, more ergonomic, and less annoying then using the tiny iphone keyboard.
Yes, having it running on iPadOS and MacOS would be nice (probably "real soon" now) and having a physical keyboard would be but, all you have to do is get a Bluetooth keyboard that can handle multiple inout devices, and you've got that too.
I really appreciated your explanation and examples. It was clear and thorough. I will probably not consider this app until it has an iPad version with had writing. 0:36
TIP: For those who want to use the Journal app on a Mac, now you can access it from the iPhone Mirroring option. I find it useful to set up my entry for the day on the iPhone and when I'm ready to type, I use my Macbook. I hope this is helpful until the Journal app is widely available across all devices!
🐬I have journaled before using Apple’s either by paper or simple text files. I did try on my iPad using GoodNotes but it didn’t click with me and from my memory I thought you can’t lock a single notebook. Being able to export my entries means that I can use it much more seriously now. It would be perfect if there was an iPad version in which I could use my pencil and handwrite entries as well.
🐬I'm a long time journaler. Been using Day One since 2016 but have been looking to change for a while. I didn't switch over last year because the Journal App was so lackluster. I decided to switch this past July while on vacation and have enjoyed the experience.
I love the Journal app. I even made an iOS shortcuts that prompts me with some higher level topics and lower level prompts to help me capture my thoughts.
I think the reason no one is talking about it is because Apple, being frustrating as usual, limits it to iPhone. There's no way I'm going to write or dictate a long journal entry on a phone. I need a proper keyboard. I really want to like this app, but until Apple makes it useable across all devices, it's nearly worthless. It's not "under rated," it's "unfinished."
One of the most disappointing aspects of the iPad is that’ this app isn’t available. What gives, Apple? I’d use it all the time if it synced between iPhone and iPad. But for now it’s not that interesting to me.
PANACA, mi lugar favorito a visitar en el Eje Cafetero de mi amada Colombia. Thanks for the video, I think I'm gonna take the Journal app more seriously now.
My previous IPhone shut off and I wasn’t able to restart it . I ended up buying a new phone. My question is, is there a way I can retrieve my previous journals?☹️
I just dumped Day One and Diarium apps and will use Journal instead because it's free and handles media much better. I just hope they continue developing this app and soon it will have more options or nicer views like the other apps.
I use Day One over the Journal app for two reasons. An iPad app is available for Day One. And a bigger reason is I can use my Apple Watch to make a journal entry for Day One on the fly. I work as a security guard and the Day One Apple Watch function is a must. If Apple makes Journal useable across all its devices I would gladly use it.
I understand that it needs to be on iPad and Mac, however I think Apple are probably going to develop it more before releasing it. I’d expect it in the next 12 months however you never know with Apple.. took long enough for an iPad calculator 😂 but to be fair, they did it really well! Personally I used it when it first came out and I’ve just got back into it and I love it. I love I can journal on the fly on my iPhone. Maybe it helps I have the Pro Max as it’s a good size.
Baby Boomers have 'Life Memories'. Having an app to use on ipad or laptop would be more convenient for typing purposes. Thanks for your video. We have iphone 8 - think it's nearly time to upgrade!😊🐬
IPAD would have made a lot more sense for this app. Haven’t used it once because I use my iPad more for productivity/writting/creativity and things like that. Apple seems to love to make weird decisions just for the sake of making them. I’m still waiting on the day they actually listen to consumer feedback and not pretend that they do
that's kinda on Overcast. Apple released Journals Suggestion API along with their Journals app, it is third party app devs responsibility to use it and provide data through the API.
anyone else no longer seeing media 'suggestions' in after upgrade to ios18? TV shows and podcasts are still in old journal entries, but no longer appear as 'suggestions' - all media 'suggestions' are now gone, even for the past few days that were there before the upgrade. i tried turning the 'media' suggestions setting off and on again, but stuff still not loading. else the other new features are great; 'insights' are fun and having search is very cool. they changed the 'walk' icon, and my 'dark' maps sometimes change into 'light' maps.
What’s the actual point of the journal app? I mean we already have the photos app to show the activities via pics and vids, and if it’s private, what’s the point other than to write a bunch of text which one could do in any text app like notes, etc.?
I thought I would be using the Journal app when it first came out, but I’ve been using the Notes app for journaling instead. Still not sure if I’m going to use the Journal app at all. Being able to lock the Journal app is nice, but I can also lock a single Notes entry for privacy, whereas locking Journal locks all entries. If I could create separate folders in Journal for different topics and be able to lock a given folder, that would be preferable, and also use a different password other than my iPhone password (like I can with Notes). I also like to do my journaling on any of my devices. Using just the iPhone is not ideal.
I have a new phone and all my journal entries from my old phone are gone. I think this is a big Problem. Does anyone know how to solve it, so that i dont have to enter it manually on my new phone?

Much of the media that used to show up in suggestions, now doesn't. with the exception of Spotify, search function did work but now doesn't seem to, editing is a nightmare, with a bug that has been there since well before iOS18 which makes it impossible to select anything without it scrolling all the way to the top or bottom, formatting is poor with paragraph spacing way too big, some things you would expect to show in suggestions often don't, and some things appear in suggestions for no obvious reason. It's now so bad, I'm sticking with Day One!

Maybe you could print from
The journal app.
Oh that's too funny. My best friend is from Pereira.
Does this only work with Apple Intelligence? I live in the EU and don’t get any suggestions.
slick app but until its on the Mac and iPad its a no go. I use DayOne and the ability to just open any on my devices and Journal is a must.
whether journal has restricted future entries,
I recently starting using this app, but it’s ridiculous you cannot get it on Mac or iPad!
How do you export?

Can you import into Journal?

we need an export function, and no "print as PDF" does count unless we can put full size images and videos in it, which we can't.
I like to journal, but why in the world did they make it iPhone only? It is of no real use to me. I use Notes for journaling.
Nobody is talking about it because it should be on the iPad
I have a feeling that our private journal would serve as useful data for Siri’s on device AI.
pro tip: you can write your journals on your computer with iphone mirroring with a real keyboard, wish theyd make the actual app for the mac though.
