Update on Journaling
Update On Journaling - Today was my second day to “restart” my long established habit of journaling, this time using the “Journey” App. Using this app allows me to do all of the things I previously did by hand and MUCH MUCH more (and much faster since I am a slow writer).
For keeping track of ideas to keeping track of time this app is now my “go to” essential program. The fact that I can access it thru any of my platforms, and it syncs across them all, makes it perfect. The ability to “search” for my idea (even if I cannot remember more than one word of the idea) is a huge plus!
Below is the “official” description from the Google Store. By not paraphrasing, this limits my ability to exaggerate or overstate abilities. I hope this is helpful for my friends in WA who not yet found a means of corralling ideas.
Hope your day was happy and productive,
Steve

Hello Steve,
Thank you so much for this information, I will be trying this out as I have been looking for something like this for some time. I do use Evernote so it's pleasing to hear that the app should accept imports from Evernote… etc!
kind regards,
~Arthur
Great Information provided by you, Steve. Will bookmark them in case I need them. Thanks Sadie
Steve you must have read my thoughts. I have a journal but find it difficult to find the time to sit and write. With this app I can write when I have downtime, when I wake in the night or in the morning with a thought/idea I can record it. Thank you for sharing. Cheers kev
Wow, Steve! Old School Me doesn't even have a clue about some of that stuff. You are light years ahead of me, Luke Skywalker! Did I tell you I don't even have a cell phone? I'm talking prehistoric here, Buddy. I'll star it for my future self. :)
Now just need to have WA put on audio attachment so we can hear it! The song isn't about beer is it ? :-)
Good stuff here Steve, thanks for sharing. This one is deffinately going into a folder and a bookmark too
Thanks, Kari - This seemingly inconsequential little app has helped me tremendously because of the cross platform and syncing capability. Have a good evening! Steve
Instead of saving for later I went right to the google store. I've been using Journey for a couple of days now and it really is as wonderful as you say. No exaggeration on your part at all.
So happy I didn't drag my feet!
