Monologue

monologue is so genius! i’ve downloaded so many journal apps aspirationally and i’ve never been able to commit to even two entries on any of them. duh, make it as simple as texting yourself. i’ve discovered i am an amazing text conversationalist. i use this app constantly to jot down my thoughts and write myself reminders all the time and it works, people! plus there’s a search feature so you could complicate your “entries” by tagging if you wanted. my one plea is that an option be made available to back these entries up (either cloud-based or even just being able to export as a text doc or pdf or something). i would pay for that feature. also maybe a FaceID/passcode option for security. p.s. this is the first review i’ve ever written (not just on the app store — literally anywhere), which should hopefully be a testament to how much i love this app.

I wanted to find an application to quickly log thoughts that came to me while I was high, as weird as that sounds. This app is perfect for that.

I was looking for a texting-style journaling app to get my thoughts down quicker and this definitely fits the bill. I love the clean design and ability to reply to past thoughts. I also appreciate the developers still updating it after so long. In future updates I’d love the ability to add photos like others have mentioned but perhaps more so I’d really like the ability to export my journal entries in another format besides JSON. It’s difficult finding apps that support that format and it’d be very helpful if I could export things as a PDF rather so I can save them in more places and share them more easily. Thanks again for making this app and hope the developers find time/value in adding these things in the future!

I normally don’t write reviews shortly after using a product, but I felt the need to here. I love this concept, the idea of journaling to yourself in the form of texting? Genius. Very much relevant and with the current time. I think we’re shifting to this but you’re early in the game! Keep it up. The UI is sleek and minimalist. The way it should be, this app didn’t try to overdo it like a lot of other ones do. I will give a suggestion: I often use the “reply to text” option a lot in my journaling and I would LOVE to be able to “hide” and “show” my replied texts, to wear it only shows the original, stand-alone text—and all the replies would be hidden. That would be a GAME-CHANGER. I honestly believe that’s one of the only things it really NEEDS. Anything else would be icing on the cake. That, add filters and additional adjustments to the settings and just keep on updating it as this app ages! Sincerely, a happy user.

I love this app, perfect for quick notes and getting your thoughts out real quick. I only wish I could add pictures and either had more color options for story types or even better-a color wheel.
