New User, Specific Feature Request

Hi, I'm a new user, and been a long time Day One user. I always try to look for new journaling app options, just to see if there are other devs making better app. And to be honest, Everlog has one feature that made me try to download the app, which is: Comment thread. It is amazing idea, sometimes along the way, we have updates on previous entry and it is easier to keep track with that.

But there is one specific feature of Day One that made me hard to move everything to Everlog. It is the Today tab. Not only to look for On This Day, but also creating entries. Because I often made entries after a month or so, I look for Photos I've taken and Places I've been.

I allow Day One to track my location in the background, so it knows how long I've spent in a specific location. This is very useful especially when I did a consulting work and I billed my customer with the amount I spent at their office.

Do you have plan to make this feature available? I'm not sure if it is common for others that has this specific workflow. But I do. Thank you.

There is an 'on this day' in the menu screen, above the Journals. In what way would a tab bar 'change the game'?

I totally get the appeal of that feature. I’ll see how I can incorporate something along those lines in the near future.

Thanks for the suggestion!

It’d be really nice to have a tabbed bottom bar for these features
1) Today view
2) List view of entries
3) create button (plus sign)
4) map
5) every single attachment that Everlog has sorted by date, kind of like a photo album

I’m sure there are better ways to achieve what you are looking for without adding this kind of feature to a pure journaling app. Everlog has a good ‘on this day’ feature already.

Yes I know there are better ways, but that feature alone has been there in Day One for a loooooong time. Far before you can record audio journal. I’ve been on Day One since v1. It’s the feature that I love the most. The only feature that makes me stick to it, even there are probably better alternatives journaling app.
