Introduced for the Mac in 2005 and the iPhone in 2010, the iPad version of the popular journaling and blogging software for Mac OS X offers an even greater opportunity to document important life events while ...
This journal app hasn t changed very much in a few years could stand a dusting at very least but it works well to create individually designated journals can password protect them albeit not robustly The journals exist locally INSTEAD of the ugly subscription trend going around in software these days sort of like official ransomware but that is offtopic Using MacJournal for example you can create a daily journal a vacation or medical symptom tracker journal for sporting records a journal for wild hair book projects on the fly tag them by criteria off your own choosing Haven t looked lately but there wasn t much competition for MacJournal to recommend over this                 Could use a facelift but works Jamaica Blue
The app stopped syncing it does not recognize other than the ipad it lives in So frustrating It used to be such a great app Also it is very annoying that it does not open in a new note it always needs to start from an existing one Why oh why     needs tons of work irenefromspain
I generally like this mobile app and would like to give it more stars It has good interface with one exception The search feature controls do not appear to display correctly The search options are overlapped by the Cancel button so you cannot select the search scope Also entered search text does not produce results despite the text string being available in a majority of entries             Search needs fixing wpicker2
I like the Mac Ipad versions One BIG frustration photos taken within or attached in the app are inverted when synced with Mac Version I have to make sure camera is turned the right way if not photos synced to Mac version upside down That is really the only issue I have other than that a great app hope this can be remedied so I can us it more on the go Now I have to uses IOS notes with photos and then cut and paste to journal ugh         Photo Sync issues Ke6cct
It s 2017 I bought the MacJournal for my Mac first and waited in the IPad version The iPad shows ICloud capabilities but the Mac version doesn t I ve tried adding the folder to my shared iCloud Drive but no success Can t find any info in the user guide either I love the software I just wanna be able to carry it where ever I go Including my iPhone Please make it just a little better and simple     2017 sync capabilities jEEts82
First this app has a good interface and the Dropbox sync mostly works I would rate this a 3 except for one thing If they updated it more frequently with meaningful updates that add features that they are missing like include sync it would be a for or even a five The reason that I give it a two and why I say that Dropbox sync mostly works is that when you are offline don t do any journal entries The offline editing does not work at best and at worst it will lose entries from your journal I have worked with support on this for years They say it s getting better but that Dropbox is the problem But I have another app that uses Dropbox sync and they have never had an issue So as long as you use it online only Make sure that it syncs completely And make frequent backups of your data upside their backup system then it works great If you don t you risk losing data         Frustratingly incomplete App.Daemon
Really love this journal It works beautifully with the Ira Progoff Intensive Journal method                     Great Journal Rhythm999
In the year 2016 it should just be a given that all my devices are always in sync with one another That I have to manually initiate sync and that I have to be on the same wifi network with the devices I want to sync should be a thing of the the past I understand that apple s cloud service was a mess when it first got introduced But all my other apps are using it now And it works perfectly for them So until they bring the automatic sync feature across all devices via iCloud to macjournal I can give this app 1 star only     No automatic sync no iCloud sync with desktop version Tgjazz
The app works well but is a bit uncomfortable and not well formated for ipad Cannot have a full screen to write on Always has history of previous notes on the screen         Wishing it could be more friendly Nico0326
Unable to get iPad Pro to properly sync with MBP and Dropbox             MacJournal syncing doesn t work for iPad Pro aswewatch
I downloaded the app and set up a password and hit the home button I then relaunched the app but no password screen I then restarted the iPad and relaunched the app this time the password screen came up and I entered the password and the app opened to my first entry Next I hit the home button and the relaunched this time app opened without the need for password Hit home button again go back to main screen and then hit home button twice slide up all background apps Relaunch MacJournal password screen come up instead of entering password hit home button and then relaunch app this time app opens without need for password Not Good Password works correctly on my iPhone and Mac versions of MacJournal please fix the iPad MacJournal password code Thank you         Password does not work correctly RichardAlanFox
I accepted the recent update And like others I regret it The iPad and iPhone versions just hang and cannot read any data Fortunately all my entries are intact on my desktop version This product has had its ups and downs over the years My suggestion is that the developer use more thorough robust testing because some of these bugs should never be present once they hit the App Store         DO NOT UPDATE TO THIS VERSION Mr Daniels
Today s iPad update of MacJournal is flawed The synch feature which used to work admirably is now stuck in an endless loop Fortunately it did not seem to corrupt my main journal but you may not be so lucky The iPad version of my journals has the titles but no contest for the entries The circle keeps spinning like it s loading then it crashes Haven t we seen this movie before from Mariner Get it together please                 Don t update TahoeDon
Being completely objective C one seen them all Not quite MacJournal on one any one Mac works so well with everything Mac OS X and iOS has to offer plus across all your Apple Mac s and iOS iPhones and iPads makes for a seamless coherent experience Never out of sync with each other multiple categories types of media sharing and exporting multiple journals Etc It just keeps up growing with the system and stays simple elegant and easy to use A true gem in the Sea of Joys High recommend to any and all                     Best Journal App for Macintosh and iOS ever jctMUSE
This version broke Dropbox support It is simply hanging and doing nothing Not even access to setting most icons is missing Recall this version             Latest version broke Dropbox support Honza1234567890
And it does work well and does synch well but carefully follow the directions A small caveat not for this app as such But If you also have a program called CleanMyMac be very careful That program can destroy data with abandon including MacJournal data But an update of this review is in order as of 9 15 15 my faithful MacJournal app has suddenly frozen and I don t know what to do about it I can delete it and download it again but will lose all my data The Mariner website in common with many developer websites offers no help at all So as we all probably know store important data on multiple apps for no one is wholly reliable My favorite MacJournal just proved my point                 A terrific app Billclock
I ve used Mac journal off and on for years on my MacBook Pro but recently started wanting to use a diary journal on my iPad I read all these reviews and wondered what had happened to this company did it fall into mismanagement After a while I decided to spend the 1 99 and just try the iPad version for myself Sync worked after I took down firewall and changes made on either device are updated to the other device Not sure what people are complaining about here but this has been and still is a great application Love the fact that I can use a familiar app and that syncing between my MBP and iPad is easy For the business stuff I ll use the MBP but for the dailies I can now do those EOD on my iPad Well done and thank you Glad I got over the bad reviews                     Being slammed here Lighthouse45
The desktop has been a stellar performer for years and years I wanted this to work so I tried and tried and tried Now I am tired tired tired Doesn t sync properly slow and inconsistent performance and horrible interface that is not intuitive at all The biggest surprise with the iPad version is that they are still selling it     Not worth it even if it were free longtimefriend
I purchased the Journal for Mac App and it is a great program I did purchase this so I could sync with my iPad This doesn t work the developer tried to give me help on how to make the sync possible but to no avail I try each day to see if perhaps I can get this thing to sync with my Mac but alas no luck I keep getting the message It seems the connection is taking longer than usual and you might want to disable any firewalls I disable the fire wall and get the same message Well I m stuck with this thing on my iPad but you don t have to be Just check reviews and if this problem is solved then fine go ahead and spend the money otherwise stick with Day One on you iPad or iPhone     Unfortunately This App is Not Worth the Price bearister2746
I would not recommend this app I had created about one month s worth of journal entries when suddenly the password wizard froze and I could no longer gain entry to the app I was able to restore my journal entries only by opening the backed up database through iTunes file sharing I deleted the app and then reloaded it just for experimental purposes but without using a password and without making entries of any significance The app froze once again and I kind of gave up on it at that point About one month later I reinstalled the app just to see what might happen created a journal but could not even make an entry the entry wizard just gave out as I was trying to make a choice It is too bad about this because MacJournal for Mac is a great app and having these companion apps was a big help     I have had a lot of trouble with this app Live and Grow
I agree with the previous comments I ve just lost years of journals even though I did all the right things by asking MacJournal to sync with iCloud I am very very upset Those journals meant a lot to me     Lost 6 years of journals after recent update katmbs0108
Unless you want to start over and not view old Journals this app has become worthless When you go to sync via iCloud it won t show what is already available so you have to create a new journal No good if you are using on your iPhone and iPad Until they come up with a reasonable fix I wouldn t purchase this Day One is much better at keeping synced and you can import old journals very easily Sad because I really enjoyed this app till now     Unable to carry over with iCloud SFC B 1971
Terrible app Was looking for something other than Day One that would sync with a MacPro but this app just doesn t cut it Pictures are not resized to fit a screen so you can only view a part of the picture in your entry There is not even a scroll for the picture Definately Not user friendly app     CBee35 CBee35
Years ago I purchased the Mac and later iOS version of this app Things were fine til sync became a required feature Fortunately the pain died when a new responsive dev appeared giving us DayOne Mariner has taught me one thing with a vengeance avoid ALL apps from this company just a complete consistent pain in the skleeboop     Heads Up for longtime sufferers TreoRenegade
I had to remove it from my iPad It won t move frozen deep frozen what a shame     Orange Crush AdolfoR
Updated to the latest version including both this app and iOS Now MacJournal will not even open Not sure what s happening It worked yesterday but now simply crashes when I try to access the application I love this app the best journaling app out there But I would also like to be able to use it                 Does NOT open simply crashes FrustratedUserOfHorribleApp
Having used a previous journalling app that was abandoned by the developer viJournal I was looking for something that can handle multiple journals and sync easily This is perfect for my needs Having to transfer over 1000 entries to this app has been much easier than anticipated I love the labelling and tagging features as well as the ease of use Sync performance has been excellent too                     Excellent journalling app AnUnveiledFace
This app is still at a very basic functional level For example you can t change the icon of a journal or an entry although that s more of a cosmetic thing than a crucial function What I really miss is the ability to save PDFs straight to MacJournal as you can on a Mac Of course for this to be possible Apple needs to add Save as PDF to their print menus across the iOS board Here s hoping         Missing Save PDF MacJournal User
After many years using MacJournal on my Macs I was expecting at least a fraction of the MacJournal experience This app is a plain piece of crap I wonder what is happening at Mariner to dare putting such app for sale I wish I could have my money back Shame on you folks     Jeez Mmsaram60
I am beginning to wonder if anyone tests this app before they release an update It has never worked well but this last update is a disaster After several attempts at syncing I finally got it to work but the sync went so fast I wondered if my data was going to be corrupt I was particularly concerned with one entry that was quite large with numerous images It turned out a jumbled up mess with images just thrown all over the place not in order blank boxes obscuring text and finally nothing at all on the bottom but a few characters and partial characters that looked as though invisible images were covering them up At this point I think I am ready to turn my crucial entries into pdf files and abandoned macjournal completely I m afraid to use the sync feature in case it ends up scrambling my very carefully formatted entries on my desktop or even worse losing them all together     What A Disaster FelindaB
This is very nearly my ideal go to app for all kinds of notes and rtf files and for keeping them organized and synced The nearly is necessary since there seem to be ongoing and somewhat mysterious sync difficulties for some users including me When these difficulties are fully and finally resolved I will gladly give the app five stars Until then I am afraid to trust it to keep and sync my data reliably         Nearly excellent but Raychoin
This app is a scam I just paid 5 for it and it doesn t even start effectively let alone load or synch my journals I am very disappointed and I want my 5 back Apple should review and test apps that they sell so this does not happen DON T BUY     Horrible and Waste of Money GM114
Update corrupted my journal and I lost all my writing from the last time I synced Tech support is TERRIBLE Two curt emails which yielded nothing Then no response to 4 additional emails No number to call Bad way to do business Use this ap at your own risk     Avoid This App BillyBob 24876543
Skip this update and stick with the very usable prior version Within the app itself this version is listed as ver 1 7 BETA I am not into beta testing an app I already paid for Come on folks You gotta do better than that Not cool As for this version 1 7 BETA I just can t say it enough BETA Beginning with the hard to look at lime green UI which you can t change Really How hard would the ability to pick another color be to implement this BETA update is a disappointment The fixes will come hopefully and there is some promise here But the bulk of the update involves a poorly thought out iOS 7 implementation and some major fumbling of the sync capabilities In the meanwhile I will be recovering the old version from my iTunes backup         Useful app made unattractive and harder to use confinity
The new cartoon crayon flat interface is a horrible change Please change back to the old interface     New interface is horrible Webpick77
Completely removed and reinstalled same behavior open the app it flashes briefly into the screen then vanishes I foolishly bought this app a long time ago and whenever I notice an update I always reinstall to see if it s finally usable Generally it s only disappointing rather than completely broken however So much wasted potential     Crashes Instantly When Opening App RobDowdy
The latest update broke my Dropbox sync Can t access the journal list and pretty much made the program unusable Why is the program getting worse not better with updates     Update broke multiple functions K2405
I have been using MacJournal on my Macs for several years and I like the program It is the most polished of all the journaling apps around Unfortunately I have recently lost several entries If I add text to a day s entry on the iPad and then close the program and then open MacJournal again the newly entered text has disappeared Apparently MacJournal had not synced with Dropbox my cloud server So when I reopened MacJournal it downloaded what was on Dropbox which did not include the latest text entry Day One does not have this problem You can even manually sync with Dropbox So I have decided to switch completely to Day One I am sad because I really liked MacJournal     MacJournal does not sync from iPad RudiWerner
I bought the Mac version of this years ago and kept losing my journals Then I thought well one more try I got the iOS version and when it synced I lost everything again It s never worked right Any version will lose your journals and you ll never get them back No matter what the settings are Run away     Stay away RonniHall
This app has been around for several years and it has been buggy and messed up all along It cannot sync with the Mac version without major problems using any syncing methods it randomly loses your entries and the developer seems totally clueless as to what is wrong It started out a buggy crap app and remains very much so in the latest version I would give it minus stars if that were allowed All the bad reviews are true and then some This developer should be booted off the app store     Warning Do Not Buy This App FleetOne
I reviewed a previous version some time last year The problems persist This software is still just not there The MacJournal for the Mac is fantastic but they cannot seem to figure out how to make data sync With the latest version I am constantly losing data after syncing between my Mac and iPad Bugs are to be expected but lost data is simply not acceptable Sadly as much as love the platform on my Mac I m going to have to find another solution program with some developers who can handle syncing This one is just far too frustrating fails more often than it succeeds     Still struggling They have not figured out syncing Ol' Flukey
After several attempts it looks like I ve managed to get MacJournal for the iPad syncing with my Mac version through DropBox The whole process is far from intuitive and potentially quite dangerous There is little in the way of instructions in the app itself and the material on the Mariner web site is far from clear and not entirely up to date The bottom line is that no one should attempt to link via DropBox unless they are 1 running TimeMachine and 2 know how to use it to restore deleted files I had to recover a decade of notes that were deleted in one of my attempts You will also need to make sure that you Mac copy remains pointed to the copy of the MacJournal file on DropBox mine seems at one point to have moved into Application Support in the library MacJournal for the Mac is a decent enough journaling program it has stiff competition from newer programs though MacJournal for the iPad remains a work in progress and I suspect will remain so for a long time and it not obviously preferable to any number of newer IOS journaling programs that have been able to handle syncing with the Mac much more easily and without the same potential of data loss But the real hero of my MacJournal adventure is TimeMachine It is terrific                 Not for the faint hearted warning data loss Newtonian2
I ve been using MacJournal on my two Macs for over a year now and I bought the mobile version a couple months ago So far I ve been very happy with it Although I use it primarily to sync to my journals on my Macs it certainly has enough features to function as a stand alone app You can have multiple journals smart journals and password protected journals at least that is what I have used it for I sync over WiFi and one major drawback is that the sync process is quite slow I haven t had any lost data or other catastrophes but it is just quite slow I also sync the program on my Macs and that also is quite slow so it might just be the way they have structured their database So I can t understand all the bad reviews posted earlier The Mac application is great by the way and the only drawback I ve noticed in the iPad app is that syncing isn t that brisk I d almost consider giving it five stars but four stars probably fits it best                 Working well for me rp1066
Despite some problematic reviews I just downloaded MacJournal for iPad and am putting it through its paces Only glitch so far The app crashed when I was in settings and tried to use the Passcode Lock But it recovered with no data loss I m a longtime user of the desktop version and find it valuable for personal and professional writing Syncing between the desktop and iPad is important to me and MacJournal for iPad performed flawlessly on a standard home WiFi network We ll see how this app performs in the longer term but so far I m very happy with the look feel and functionality                 First Impressions Slick Spooklog
I love the Mac version of this program so I decided to get this as a companion I try to copy paste something into an entry then tag it and it crashes losing everything I ll update my review when problems like this are solved but for now avoid     Until further updates Pandanoai
I really want to like this app as much as I like the Mac version but I lose so many entries that I ve just given up on it It isn t worth it even if you have MacJournal on your Mac Just download a more reliable text editor There are many that come with password features and copy and paste those entries to your Mac Kind of a hassle but at least it ll survive     Such an unreliable app Merciel Angel
I like this app interface But it is not work ios7 Please check it                     Check for iOS 7 It s not work sickei
I have been using this app for a long time It is becoming cumbersome The search engine is pathetic and needs major improvements           needs tons of improvements

I read all the bad reviews before I bought the app After using it for a day I have to say that I love it It synced all my journals from my Mac with my iPad in seconds over my wifi network It kills me how quick people write destructive reviews when something doesnt work the way they think it should I can do everything I want with this app Dont forget that an iOS version can never be as featurereach as the OS version Bottom line I am happy with this app 2 bugs well spent                 Relax

The app doesnt allow you to sync the videos that you may have dropped into Macjournal using your Mac With that in mind this is basically way to sync your text and nothing more        Only for those who really need it
I have read through some of the reviews here and I dont get them I have had both the desktop version and the iPad version of MacJournal now for a couple of weeks and the sync works perfectly each and every time whether I am syncing from my Macbook Air to my iPad or viceversa I was hesitant to get the iPad version not so much because of the cheap price but because of the sync issues people here complain about well let me assure you I have not had any sync problems at all It works like a charm                 Works as stated
This app is still at a very basic functional level For example you cant change the icon of a journal or an entry although thats more of a cosmetic thing than a crucial function What I really miss is the ability to save PDFs straight to MacJournal as you can on a Mac Of course for this to be possible Apple needs to add Save as PDF to their print menus across the iOS board Heres hoping        Missing Save PDF
Love this app but without cloud sync it worth nothing PS Stop promoting app update it     Great app

Todays iPad update of MacJournal is flawed The synch feature which used to work admirably is now stuck in an endless loop Fortunately it did not seem to corrupt my main journal but you may not be so lucky Had to force quit both apps desktop and iPad to recover Update ao 3614 After downloading OS update on the iMac the synch feature worked again fron iOS 7 iPad              Dont update
Ive used Mac journal off and on for years on my MacBook Pro but recently started wanting to use a diaryjournal on my iPad I read all these reviews and wondered what had happened to this company did it fall into mismanagement After a while I decided to spend the 199 and just try the iPad version for myself Sync worked after I took down firewall and changes made on either device are updated to the other device Not sure what people are complaining about here but this has been and still is a great application Love the fact that I can use a familiar app and that syncing between my MBP and iPad is easy For the business stuff Ill use the MBP but for the dailies I can now do those EOD on my iPad Well done and thank you Glad I got over the bad reviews                 Being slammed here
I like the macjournal for my MacBook well enough and have used it for years I thought how great now that I have an ipad Ill have access to all the stuff Ive saved in MacJournal while on the go ExceptI dont First this was not easy to sync between my MacBook and the Ipad though I finally was able to do it with drop box Second not everything synced Supposedly you cant add images in the ipad version but if they are in the orginal journal entries youll be able to see them on the Ipad Except you cant A lot of stuff I had is now simply not usable on the ipad And Mariners help info on the website is useless Dont bother with this app I should have just stuck to Evernote and not even attempted to get this Its not quite uselessbut its close        I wish I hadnt paid for this
Having used a previous journalling app that was abandoned by the developer viJournal I was looking for something that can handle multiple journals and sync easily This is perfect for my needs Having to transfer over 1000 entries to this app has been much easier than anticipated I love the labelling and tagging features as well as the ease of use Sync performance has been excellent too                 Excellent journalling app
When I first had Macjournal for the Mac and iPad syncing was seamless Updates ruined it Syncing now seems impossible The latest iPad version doesnt even show the sync button I guess Mariner gave up     Took a good app and messed it up
New version just an excuse to start over with ratings My old review below is still current Bugs galore still abound eg Under recent entries it shows I have only one and that is dated August of last year I have scores of entries from this year alone but the app cant figure that one out STILL needs work Of all the apps I have or tried to use this one is the most useless and difficult to use Just trying to setup what YOU want is an exercise in frustration and futility If you enjoy being frustated this app is for you This app should be taken off the app store It is pure JUNK 5 stars would be a correct rating I have the Mac version and it is fine this one not so much     I have hundreds of apps
I had to remove it from my iPad It wont move frozen deep frozen what a shame     Orange Crush
I like this app interface But it is not work ios7 Please check it                 Check for iOS 7 Its not work
Terrible app Was looking for something other than Day One that would sync with a MacPro but this app just doesnt cut it Pictures are not resized to fit a screen so you can only view a part of the picture in your entry There is not even a scroll for the picture Definately Not user friendly app     CBee35

Updated to the latest version including both this app and iOS Now MacJournal will not even open Not sure whats happening It worked yesterday but now simply crashes when I try to access the application I love this app the best journaling app out there But I would also like to be able to use it              Does NOT open simply crashes
I agree with the previous comments Ive just lost years of journalseven though I did all the right things by asking MacJournal to sync with iCloud I am very very upset Those journals meant a lot to me     Lost 6 years of journals after recent update
The desktop has been a stellar performer for years and years I wanted this to work so I tried and tried and tried Now I am tired tired tired Doesnt sync properly slow and inconsistent performance and horrible interface that is not intuitive at all The biggest surprise with the iPad version is that they are still selling it     Not worth it even if it were free
I cannot say how much I loath this app and its sister app on my Mac Ive been using it for a number of years Mostly because I paid buckets of cash for both of them and so kept hanging on I have lost all my data more than once I had backed it up to Journler so was able to recover all but bout 6 months out of the 9 years worth of journals I lost What prompted me to write a review today When I opened a journal on my iPad an found my way to the single most important document on my iPad the entry was blank Blank There is no way I just erased the info Then I couldnt get it to find my Mac not uncommon actually I have lost a months worth of critical data The entry on my Mac synced but the document was still blank I had to push it through iTunes as a pages doc then cut and paste I am cutting my losses with this app and moving on I cannot stress enough not to buy this app If I could remove stars and give it a 5 I would I would go back to a paper journal if I had to keep using this pos and their customer service is miserable     MacJunkal
After several attempts it looks like Ive managed to get MacJournal for the iPad syncing with my Mac version through DropBox The whole process is far from intuitive and potentially quite dangerous There is little in the way of instructions in the app itself and the material on the Mariner web site is far from clear and not entirely up to date The bottom line is that no one should attempt to link via DropBox unless they are 1 running TimeMachine and 2 know how to use it to restore deleted files I had to recover a decade of notes that were deleted in one of my attempts You will also need to make sure that you Mac copy remains pointed to the copy of the MacJournal file on DropBox mine seems at one point to have moved into Application Support in the library MacJournal for the Mac is a decent enough journaling program it has stiff competition from newer programs though MacJournal for the iPad remains a work in progress and I suspect will remain so for a long time and it not obviously preferable to any number of newer IOS journaling programs that have been able to handle syncing with the Mac much more easily and without the same potential of data loss But the real hero of my MacJournal adventure is TimeMachine It is terrific              Not for the fainthearted warning data loss
I purchased the Journal for Mac App and it is a great program I did purchase this so I could sync with my iPad This doesnt work the developer tried to give me help on how to make the sync possible but to no avail I try each day to see if perhaps I can get this thing to sync with my Mac but alas no luck I keep getting the message It seems the connection is taking longer than usual and you might want to disable any firewalls I disable the fire wall and get the same message Well Im stuck with this thing on my iPad but you dont have to be Just check reviews and if this problem is solved then fine go ahead and spend the money otherwise stick with Day One on you iPad or iPhone     Unfortunately This App is Not Worth the Price
The new cartoon crayon flat interface is a horrible change Please change back to the old interface     New interface is horrible
Syncing issues galore after the latest update No response from developers Lost all of my data Ive used the iPad iPhone and Mac laptop versions fir a few years and now the syncing is completely useless I cant trust this vendor anymore Goodbye     Dont waste your money
I have been using MacJournal for Mac for iOS for over a year with no issues Ive had not problems syncing my iPhone and iPad with my Macuntil I updated the software on my Mac to MacJournal 6 Now I cant sync with either my iPhone nor my iPad I learned recently that I could sync MacJournal on my iPhone iPad over WiFibut that didnt work either which has nothing to do with the desktop version Also on the iPad MacJournal is weird with how it locks Journals I still havent figured out how to just lock the program I only know how to lock individual journals which is not very convenient I read in the support section of Mariner Software that a new version for iOS was going to allow Dropbox syncing that may solve many issues I gave this four stars because it really is a great program on my iPhone But I agree with other reviewers this app needs to be updated              Great app though sync issues
If you journal seriously or want to trust truly personal information to this or the desktop app PLEASE PLEASE know that it is incredibly bug ridden and you risk losing all of your thoughts If they can fix these bugs I would gladly continue with it but every sync brings at least an hour of trying to recover if you can your writing     BE CAREFUL
I reviewed a previous version some time last year The problems persist This software is still just not there The MacJournal for the Mac is fantastic but they cannot seem to figure out how to make data sync With the latest version I am constantly losing data after syncing between my Mac and iPad Bugs are to be expected but lost data is simply not acceptable Sadly as much as love the platform on my Mac Im going to have to find another solutionprogram with some developers who can handle syncing This one is just far too frustrating fails more often than it succeeds     Still struggling They have not figured out syncing
Despite some problematic reviews I just downloaded MacJournal for iPad and am putting it through its paces Only glitch so far The app crashed when I was in settings and tried to use the Passcode Lock But it recovered with no data loss Im a longtime user of the desktop version and find it valuable for personal and professional writing Syncing between the desktop and iPad is important to me and MacJournal for iPad performed flawlessly on a standard home WiFi network Well see how this app performs in the longer term but so far Im very happy with the look feel and functionality              First Impressions Slick
tried to add my selfhosted wordpress blog to this app but cant because it crashes to the desktop each time     disappointment
After many years using MacJournal on my Macs I was expecting at least a fraction of the MacJournal experience This app is a plain piece of crap I wonder what is happening at Mariner to dare putting such app for sale I wish I could have my money back Shame on you folks     Jeez
No cloud syncing     Craaapware
I have been using MacJournal on my Macs for several years and I like the program It is the most polished of all the journaling apps around Unfortunately I have recently lost several entries If I add text to a days entry on the iPad and then close the program and then open MacJournal again the newly entered text has disappeared Apparently MacJournal had not synced with Dropbox my cloud server So when I reopened MacJournal it downloaded what was on Dropbox which did not include the latest text entry Day One does not have this problem You can even manually sync with Dropbox So I have decided to switch completely to Day One I am sad because I really liked MacJournal     MacJournal does not sync from iPad
The present version is absolutely useless Please be serious Put it in the trash the last version and let us using the previous one Syncing when is possible reading everything you want to do is a hard work Are you sure that this application is for Apple products     PLEASE BE HONEST
I really want to like this app as much as I like the Mac version but I lose so many entries that Ive just given up on it It isnt worth it even if you have MacJournal on your Mac Just download a more reliable text editorThere are many that come with password featuresand copy and paste those entries to your Mac Kind of a hassle but at least itll survive     Such an unreliable app
And it does work well and does synch well but carefully follow the directions A small caveat not for this app as such But If you also have a program called CleanMyMac be very careful That program can destroy data with abandon including MacJournal data But an update of this review is in order as of 91515 my faithful MacJournal app has suddenly frozen and I dont know what to do about it I can delete it and download it again but will lose all my data The Mariner website in common with many developer websites offers no help at all So as we all probably know store important data on multiple apps for no one is wholly reliable My favorite MacJournal just proved my point              A terrific app
Man the syncing with this app is tough Ive read all the reviews but bought the iPad version anyway Not a good choice Ive tried to sync several times and it just keeps going and going How hard can this be        Styncs
I bought the Mac version of this years ago and kept losing my journals Then I thought well one more try I got the iOS version and when it synced I lost everything again Its never worked right Any version will lose your journals and youll never get them back No matter what the settings are Run away     Stay away
I dont know how a product could be released that is totally broken like this one Syncing doesnt happen and it crashes the MJ program on my Mac Dont get me wrong I really like MJ for Mac I thought the iPad version would be a great compliment Without sync this program is utterly useless     Does not sync Fix this ASAP
Skip this update and stick with the very usable prior version Within the app itself this version is listed as ver 17 BETA I am not into beta testing an app I already paid for Come on folks You gotta do better than that Not cool As for this version 17 BETA I just cant say it enoughBETA Beginning with the hardtolookat lime green UI which you cant change Really How hard would the ability to pick another color be to implement this BETA update is a disappointment The fixes will come hopefully and there is some promise here But the bulk of the update involves a poorly thought out iOS 7 implementation and some major fumbling of the sync capabilities In the meanwhile I will be recovering the old version from my iTunes backup        Useful app made unattractive and harder to use
