Veldig bra og enkel dagbok som er verdt prisen. Jeg liker veldig godt at jeg kan synkronisere den mellom MacBook og iPhone, noe som gjør at jeg kan bruke det jeg har for hånden når jeg ha skrivelyst. Veldig fornøyd til mitt bruk. Anbefales!
Litt treg
PetterOgHeidi
Kjøpte dette for lenge siden, da var det ikke noe tull, bare en dagbok som også synker på flere enheter. Etter hvert har de lagt på veldig mange «bells & whistles» så de måtte ha mer penger + at det går tregt. Men forøvrig er det bra altså.
Photo descriptions?

I notice there's a comment button for photos, but when you tap it nothing happens. If anyone understand how to add captions/descriptions to photos, I'd be happy to know.
