I thoroughly enjoyed using this app and found the interface to be very new and refreshing, I liked the way in which elements can be organized and overall I feel as though the app does what it wants to do perfectly. However, despite this, I have one problem, IT'S NOT ON iPadOS!!! Why that is is something I struggle to understand, but I initially tried to download on the iPad as soon as I completed the software update but I found that the device was not compatible yet. I hope this can change later on when the app develops more, maybe even integrating the pen writing and other features that can be useful on the iPad. I think it is essential for this app to be added to the iPad as soon as possible so please get working on it, team! Appreciate all the great work, though :)

As a person who hardly find someone to truly talk to, journal was my go-to when i felt like i need to talk, typing became my way to cooperate with life ❤️
Ipad Issues

This app should be designed for ipad first and boggles my mind how apple decided to start development on iphone first before moving to ipad. After it was released on Ipad, I was excited to try it out but so far 6months in, and the app is full of bugs. Whenever I write handwritten notes, it does not save my content. Also, when I add images, i shows as it being in the process of loading and the picture is just a blank placeholder. I dont understand how this app passed the quality check of Apple. This is not the standard that Apple users expect at all.
Amazing
STAY SKZ fan
