Gratitude Journal, an easy way to keep track of your daily thoughts

Gratitude Journal

Gratitude Journal is a Windows Phone app that is designed to make it piece of cake to record daily journal entries and in the traditional sense of the title, remind ourselves what nosotros are grateful for. All the same, at that place is no rule you can use it as journal for only nigh annihilation.

Gratitude Periodical takes reward of gesture based controls and voice dictations to help you document your entries. Add together OneDrive support forth with location based weather condition information that is automatically added to your entries and I tin can see Gratitude Periodical appealing to many Windows Telephone users.

The layout for Gratitude Periodical isn't very complicated. Your opening page greets you with today'south date, a weather icon illustrating the current conditions for your location, a button to pull up the Near Screen and a help push that pulls up an overlay pointing to what everything is. This help button is nowadays throughout the app and does a nice chore of showing the features each folio possesses.

Gratitude Journal Main Page

To get started recording your journal entries, swipe to the left or tap on the screen to pull upwards a monthly agenda. From in that location, pick a date and your periodical page will appear. Any date with a periodical entry already in place will have a check mark besides it.

Gratitude Journal Calendar

Periodical entries tin be entered the quondam way mode with the Windows Phone keyboard or y'all can tap the microphone at the bottom of the page to audibly record your entry. The vocalisation recognition isn't too bad with respects to accuracy. Every now and then information technology had problem picking apart my Southern emphasis but you can say that almost any other voice recognition software.

Beyond the lesser of the screen, you will see the time of your entry forth with the atmospheric condition conditions at that time. The time will be reflective of your first entry and will not change should you come back and add to the entry. If the fourth dimension and date are key to any subsequent entry, you lot'll have to add together information technology to the text of your journal entry.

Gratitude Journal Entry

Your help button sits in the lesser left corner and your OneDrive backup/restore controls sit in the bottom right corner. While entries are automatically saved, there is no provision to automatically back them up.

Overall Impressions

Gratitude Journal is a make clean looking, easy to use journal app for documenting what you are grateful for, how you're feeling or any other idea y'all desire to tape for posterity. The app has a very inviting appearance and the vocalism command feature makes it easy to jot down your thoughts while on the go.

While I tin see the attractiveness of Gratitude Periodical, in that location are a few items I would toss into the programmer's suggestion box that I wouldn't mind changing. For starters, it would be prissy if y'all tapped on the date from the main menu and get direct to that appointment'due south journal page. It only seemed a fiddling cumbersome to accept to go through the calendar view to create an entry.

Next up is the font. I'm non exactly sure exactly what font it being used but I can imagine it won't appeal to anybody. Lastly, the app needs a setting to automatically backup the journal to OneDrive. Peradventure on every third opening of the app to avoid needing it to run in the background?

Still, while there is room for comeback what is in place with Gratitude Journal is nice and should appeal to anyone looking for an like shooting fish in a barrel to employ Windows Phone journal app. Gratitude Journal is currently rated at 5 Stars in the Windows Phone Store and while nosotros similar the app, nosotros'd score it slightly lower.
