Daily Tracker Journal & Diary

I use it EVERY day ... MANY TIMES a day: Daily Journal, Sleep Tracker (just a digital timer but still helps me!), To Do List, Health & Fitness tracker (blood pressure for me), [and you add more!], and Quick Notes. The latter, like nearly all, offer so many options like adding a photo but that nearly got me in trouble! I’m a pastor and I was using QN to help me remember folks’ names in a church where I was a temporary interim. Immediately before a service I asked a couple for their picture. The male didn’t hear me and hurried to his seat so I just took her picture. I learned later that he thought I was hitting on her and got a senior member to make me delete the picture! With much effort I made “amends” but it was a BIG deal!! LOL. OK, MY ONLY COMPLAINT RE THE APP is I’d like the To Do List to offer a check-off option for individual completed items IN THE “DAY” view. It appears that that option is only offered in the forever ongoing “LIST” view! It’s possible that that is an operator problem (i.e. me)! OH! I forgot something I LOVE: I’ve had this app for YEARS!! You can search for things you’ve done (e.g. in Daily Journal) or listed in “To Do List” and $ amounts etc. YEARS ago and the search engine captures and lists them...people‘s names, etc. IT’S Awesome!! Sorry I’m retired ...thus the length 😁

At one time, I used this app for nearly everything. As someone that likes to keep data on everyday life things, this app was great for it. However, it seems like app updates are too slow and far between. It seems like something could be done with widgets, and PLEASE add support for the Apple Watch! The more upgrades to the iPhone, the more this app is dated. Every update has been fluff, adding a video to the beginning with some nice music, a tutorial, a change in the pricing structure. There is so much that could be improved in this. Adding functionality like a spreadsheet, to sum across multiple categories, link them together. Adding 3D Touch capabilities to access timers or favorite trackers. Just nothing ever really improves with it. I wish they would add improvements, maybe the app would be usable again.

I use this app to track my meals and workouts. I lost 8 pounds in 6 weeks when I started keeping a food and workout journal here! I find traditional calorie counting apps too cumbersome. I simply write down exactly what I eat every day and note my weight once every week or two. The daily bs calendar views are perfect for this. The mere act of writing it down deters me from eating poorly. I can browse the last few weeks to see where my weakness are. Plus, when I stop journaling for a while, i can look back at what I ate a few months ago that kept my weight down and get great ideas. ("Oh yeah, I was eating cucumber slices instead of chips with my sandwich!"). I also use this app to track how I spend my time. I discovered that I was spending 3 hours per day on housework. This was helpful in balancing the workload with my husband.

Nothing new to add, except that I am still using the app more than ever. It's a kind of multi-tool that fills in for what other apps leave out. It is a simple and affordable solution to a number of different issues. _____________ Not sure how I would change my positive review below, except to say that I use the app more now than ever. I would be hard-pressed to find a substitute. —————— I barely remember writing the reviews below, but without the subscription pricing, Daily Tracker has become an indispensable companion. I use it so much for so many things, and it is so easy and so flexible, that I’m not sure how I would replace it if I had to. I would even pay for an upgrade (rather than a subscription) if that were required. —————- Thanks for listening. Ads are gone--for now, at least. Revoking my earlier negative review. -----------— This was a great app until the upgrade. Now the user, who paid for the app in the first place, as I did, years ago is faced with obtrusive ads or a $2/month subscription. There are now too many other ways for me to do, ad-free and without cost, the things I'd been doing with it. I'm deeply embedded, and it will take time, but I'm not going to put up with ads or a subscription service. Sorry!

I love this app. Now all my lists and to do's and more are in this app. One of the best apps I have ever found. Track everything from errands (with quick grocery items list added) to exercise, to simple capture of expenditures (it adds it for you) to recipes with a photo or web capture, to quickly listing books, movies, tv shows recommended by others, to listing projects and steps, and so much more. I love that I can get this on my Iphone and Ipad anywhere so going to the grocery store with my phone and this app makes this so much easier. One thing I will do in addition to this though is to get the Lumens budget program or another as I can't really budget well in this program. Love that if I can't write right then, I can record in this program. I can password protect any list. That means those lists are then double password protected with the phone having a password and the list having one. I’m sure a a master hacker could get beyond that but few would bother or be able to. Just a double safeguard. This is my portable brains and so much better than the one on my shoulders. I would recommend it to anyone who uses portable devices. I haven't really seen if I can get this on my laptop but I probably can.
