Dear Diary,
Today I wrote a review on this awesome new app I chanced upon. It was like a blog, but better. I was awed by the amazing user interface, the simplistic usage of neutral colors appealed to me and I found it very soothing to the eyes. The app was able to categorize whatever I posted neatly with attention placed on ease of future access. I loved how all my images and links were embedded nicely, and how everything flowed so smoothly instead of random images sticking out like a sore thumb. This neatness in formatting is something worth mentioning indeed.
Actual content posted in this Day One (Journal/Diary) gave me a plethora of features to use and choose from. I could write the boring old text post with thousands of words, but I would also spice things up with realistic attachments that embedded and immersed themselves so smoothly with my writing. I could do basic things like tagging photos, but I could also geo-tag my posts to the locations I were at at that very day and even data concerning the weather and temperature for the day. There was also a whole load of formatting tools available to make my posts look neat and tidy, a treat for the eyes.
Writing into my diary was no longer as troublesome as physically carrying a book to jot in, nor was it as complicated as setting up a blog. All I had to do was write, and the app settled the rest of the concerns for me.
Dear diary, today I made a great bargain. At $4.99 this app beats all other diary applications I’ve come across. For those that love keeping track of their daily memories, this is definitely something I would recommend to you.
