Great, but could be amazing!
Ive used day one for over 1 year. I also chose to pay for premium about a month ago. I like it, especially the ability to tag, and some of the more automated features. But, a few other additions would make this amazing!
Ability to handwrite entries and add drawings or hand notations wherever we like, mixed in with the text fields if we so chose. Have ocr ability of the hand notes to make them "searchable". I really prefer my own handwriting sometimes.
"Notability" works pretty well for that but its more for "notes" not journals. I also would LOVE to see Day One add a record feature like Notability, and even connect our drawings or doodles w our voice.
Abilty to add video, and allow us to add notations, similar to how Notability works for voice recording. But id love to have videos of my family or me, then add various edits to pop up at different intervals as the video plays! Because we often dont recall the background situation that is related to a family video, or we can point out what so and so is thinking or doing at different video clips. When im 75-95, id love to have something special like that to look back upon, then star my favorites, add more comments, and pass down to my children.
Allow us the ability to create a new kind of journal: a trend tracking journal. Things like mood, migraine, exercise, meditation, sleep, etc which could give us a trend chart kind of thing if we desired. Further, we could see what types of influence they may have on our life events or other activities logged in our journals (or dairies), or vice versa.
Id also like to see an automated report including dates and times (through IFT maybe even though it hardly works w any consistency) in regards to the specific:
Youtube videos watched (and how long),
Kindle or ibooks read,
Audible Audio books,
Podcasts or Soundclouds,
itunes music / Pandora stations listened to
Netflix, etc......
All with actual links to them (esp the youtube videos) whenever possible.
To ME, especially with a background in science, itd be extremely interesting to see how these things influence our lives as well!!! What we watch, read, listen to also is probably the main thing that gives us a window into who the individual is personality, and interest wise!
And with "automated" reports, they are just there...we can chose to use it, or not....but dont need to make any conscious effort to add them to our journals (last thing we need is one more "to do").
