STEP - Journal for Life

💡It needs: 👉iCloud and Dropbox backup options 👉Ability to EDIT or DELETE tags that were created and now are default 👉Ability to EDIT text (journal entries) 👉Ability to add more than one location on your day 👉An option to create a note with each selected tag that way I can click on the tag and it will show me a summary about that specific tag because the tags don't look like tags, they look like sub-boxes of information 👉A main summary page to see my day in a better view rather than having to click on items to see them 👉Auto-post geo-tagging. Every time you visit a place that you entered for default, it would record it like the DayPlus app. 👉Hello...calendar sync. 😃It would be nice to have: 👉Social auto-post integration for Twitter or Pinterest feeds to auto-post within the journal. So I could enjoy my post in my journal. 👉Ability to add lecture recordings and also music like the Flava app. 👉Ability to add videos 👉Ability to add links like the Flava app. 👉Share via other apps such as sharing my day on Path. 👉Make text RICH 👉Ability to stop crashing when I try to add a photo. So much potential. Then it would be the best journal around. UPDATE: I can't even use it because it keeps crashing even with the LATEST June 2013 update. Will uninstall.

I downloaded this with high expectations. From the outset it seemed okay until I tried to enter a new place opened a new page to sign up with Foursquare. Reading terms and conditions the user will allow 4sq access to all your private info and you must consent or step journal doesn’t work. I tried to add several new places each time a new account was required in 4sq. Until a new account is created Step Journal is a waste and a front for mining personal data. I uninstalled it after a dozen attempts and dozen Create Account in 4sq. I’m not ready to surrender personal info voluntarily. Uninstalled the program. It’s invasive

Was not into diaries / journaling, and at first was sceptical about this app, but now, having used it for few months, I find great value in it. I can easily find when was the last time I went to a hairdresser, how many times I’ve exercised since I’ve joined a gym, when was my best friends wedding, etc. Sure, I could do all that in Calendar app, the problem, however is - am not using calendar much. And STEP Journal is much more fun than Calendar (how would you put pics on Calendar?)… Having connected Location services, Photos I don’t really have to do much to maintain my journal (sure, it gets place wrong occasionally, but who is perfect?). Hopefully soon the app will also add location info to my Facebook statuses. Sincerely recommended app!

The first few opening screens were very nice, they felt welcoming and I felt like wanting to use the app. to be honest, I was a little confused when trying to add an activity because there were just so many options.. but after a few trials, I got the hang of it and now I’m using it with success. I was only going to try it out for a few times and then stop because I’m not much of a journal person, but the features were so practical and useful that I think I might keep using it... note that it’s not just a journaling app, but also something that breaks down your activities easy for you to see!
