Great app, terrible monetization model
Oh my god I love memes
I refuse to pay for your app before you allow syncing journals directly to iCloud like version 1 allowed — I don’t know what encryption standards you use, I don’t know where your servers are, and I don’t know who operates this service. Running your own servers gives no value to the customer if they have enough storage in iCloud.All devices running iOS 13 and above have access to both internal storage and external servers and cloud services — there’s no reason not to allow sync via the Files app.

Thank you for your review. All of this information about our servers and encryption is available publicly.

Olen käyttänyt Day Onea vuosia. Se on kuin ihana ja uskollinen ystävä, joka kulkee aina rinnalla. Se on helppo käyttöinen ja tuki on aina käytössä 24/7. En osaisi enää olla ilman sitä. Paras valintani ikinä.
Although I have paid for this app, I can’t get the new features

I’m a Plus user. I paid for this app before the Premium version was launched. I was then told that I’ll have access to all new features. But, I don’t. With this last release, I’m blocked accessing the new features like audio recording and dark mode. I don’t think this is fair, because I paid for this app.
Developer Response
We are sorry for any confusion. Plus users keep all the features for which they paid, including unlimited sync and on-going maintenance/version updates indefinitely. As of June 28, 2017, all new features would be Premium only. Please see here: http://help.dayoneapp.com/premium-subscription/day-one-premium-faq. Contact our support team if you have any additional questions. http://dayoneapp.com/contact
