Editors’ Notes

Keeping the original’s streamlined interface, this version adds a wealth of new features. Enrich your journal entries with photos, location info, even fitness activity. And see your world at a glance with the beautiful photo view.

Remarkable in Every Sense

This app is the best there is to organize memories / work and media and obviously saves tons of space specifically on an Iphone in which you cant find anything otherwise. But with Day one you can find anything in a split second. The one year charge giving us unlimited space is worth every penny. Bravo to the developer for creating such and wonderful and lucrative application that saves the most precious thing in the world “Time”

One of the best virtual journals - I have seen

Daily one - is an amazing application that I really enjoy using.. Highly recommended

Though I have a comment that will enhance the application further on..
For me personally I love writing my journals in both Arabic and English.. It seems currenty the application doesn't support the Arabic alignment..
The Arabic alignment typically start from a right to a left, whilst in the English language it's from left to right.
I think it will be a quick win to add this feature.
Moreover, I think it will be amazing to be able to indent a sub-topic under a bullet point, to add more structure.
