Very anti consumer
     
by Crleekwc · July 23, 2021

Took away iCloud sync, leaves broken folder that doesn’t sync. Took away export function to json so you can’t move your entries to another app. Will never buy any thing from this company going into the future.

Update merged my entries
     
by mojomoi · April 4, 2016

I love this app, but after the recent update, I noticed that the date and time stamps on my entries were changed. I'll have multiple entries on certain days and no entries on other days. But I know that I have written at least one entry per day for the past year. I hope the next update fixes this glitch.

Bloom, thanks so much for the lost photos, loss of entire entries, and duplicate entries. It makes keeping a journal so much more rewarding! And now you want us to buy your "new" app and trust our unencrypted data on your own servers??? How high do you think we are? Go away, and leave the app development to those who know what they're doing.

Developer handled transition to new app version very poorly.
     
by Time Squire-in-Training · April 7, 2016

On the upside, the developer appears to have continued to provide some short-term support and updates for this app, in hopes of re-establishing much lost goodwill. That effort is appreciated. This was an excellent app. Many long-time users are angry and frustrated for good reasons. The developer handled user privacy, user experience, and the journal data transfer transition from Day One [now “Day One Classic"] to the new "Day One 2” app version (listed as separate app for purchase), very, very poorly. The new version, Day One 2, completely removed the iCloud and Dropbox sync options, while instead implementing only a developer-controlled 3rd party sync service without any encryption or secure privacy on the server side. Developer admitted staff has access to unencrypted Day One 2 user journal files on the AWS servers, hosted by Amazon. Developer also appears to be planning to charge a subscription for sync and backup service for the app (bait & switch). This developer has been burning his own breakfast. See the other reviews for additional recent user complaints concerning this app and the developer. Genuinely hoping this develpoer can pull their act together.

they destroyed the perfect apple watch app
     
by AmplifiedLife · April 3, 2016

I reinstalled a previous version of the app, before they stripped it of all its functionality. they HAD nailed it, with what arguably could've been one of the best Apple watch apps ever made, but the watch app is now two simple buttons? all these 5 star ratings are suspect (or they’re definitely noT apple watch owners). please just try to bring back the previous watch functionality. 1 star forever until then. hide it behind a force touch if you have to but please do something. the developers had to know how great that Apple watch app was. or maybe not? this is why I never delete old versions of apps and keep previous versions around in case I need to wind back a poor development decision.

It works for me... L👀k⬇️
     
by Crazypop1 · March 31, 2016

I hope this app keeps working, I won't use DO2 until iCloud sync happens. *Day One 2 is free in the Apple Store app, just saying!!!! Save 5💵's Why buy it if it's free😉😉 Wish that Day One 2 supported iCloud sync😳 Please keep this version working, thanks!!!

Great idea!
     
by Nickie2579 · March 31, 2016

I thought this was a free apt. There wasn't a price it said (get) on my phone. Now I have a bill for $5.27 . Is that per month or week? I have tried to write this review before, and they didn't like it so I will try again. If not I can tweet or fb. It is probably operator err , my fault. About the app. I like it .

Bloom is a ripoff!
     
by GaryJr05 · April 1, 2016

Ticks me off that they come out with a "new" app instead of an update so they can charge me twice. Now the old app is degrading in quality...basically it is legacy app now. I use apple products largely because of free updates for software. I hate to buy things two or three times. I'm thinking about abandoning Day One...I love it, but do not want to have to buy again to get the latest version.
