Journaling made easy

Day One does journaling well. Quick and easy to make entries. So getting in the habit of tracking life daily doesn’t get in the way of living. I like the clean interface and with each version it seems to get better. There are a couple oddities that I don’t care for: The location as determined by the app/computer is close but not always correct. I am at my desk for journaling most days, yet if I didn’t fix the location entry, the map would show me all over the neighborhood. So I’m just used to shortcutting in my actual location most of the time. The time and date stamp is timezone sensitive, which sounds like a good thing at first, but what that means is that when I write an entry in Central Time and then travel into Eastern Time, all of a sudden the time stamp displays the original time translated into the new time zone. Yeah, annoying at best. I’m assure that the real time stamp is still in the system. If those things were fixed, I’d give Day One 5 stars. As is, I do very much recommend it to anyone wanting to journal. I’ve tried some other ways to keep a journal on a computer and nothing works as easily as Day One.
