This app is useless anyway, can Apple rewrite Xcode from the ground up ?
Still can’t use a Wacom with Freeform on MacOS either…
Given the quality of writing features in Apple’s native apps, I personally couldn’t care less. I’d stick to a journal format in Goodnotes or something similar, and spend the extra time required to add images etc.
Same thing with the classical music app. Wonder if the Vision Pro is taking up a lot of resources
I really don’t like this trend of intentionally kneecapping more capable devices (like computers/tablets) in order to push phones.
u/favicondotico, have you considered joining a tabloid newspaper? By removing the words “at launch” from this title, you’re a clickbait star.
People saying it’s going to kill DayOne… but where the Apple Journal memories are getting stored ?
We’ll have to extend storage with ICloud+ right?
Get obsidian. Free, Open Source, Offline, Locally stored. You can store your files on the cloud if you want to sync across devices. Excalidraw lets you do white boards.
The best note taking/journal programs you can get.
https://obsidian.md/downloadI get not having it on the Mac (not really, but sort of), but not having it on the iPad right out of the gate seems kind of dumb unless they just couldn’t get it ready and working the way they wanted (which seems odd given the code base is so similar to iPhone). Yes, most people that have an iPad also have an iPhone but one of the reasons a lot of people have an iPad is so they can more easily write.
this is annoying for many reasons but i will say, with an iphone 15 pro it’ll be nice to just hook it up to my usb-c monitor and use my bluetooth keyboard to write in the journal.
but i realize that’s not a common use case and it really should be on other devices.
Even though reminders always had Mac and iPad apps, it was not usable for me until last year and very usable this year with sections now. I expect Apple journal to be very basic in features for a long time and iPad and Mac apps at least a year out if not longer with a new iOS update
Lol Apple has armies of software devs and they can’t be bothered? I had no plans to use it because it’s as useless to me as Freeform and almost all their native apps, but if I were, journaling on my phone is THE worst possible device out of my iPhone, iPad or Mac. Smh
journaling on my phone is THE worst possible device out of my iPhone, iPad or Mac
Sure, because you own an iPhone, iPad and Mac. Younger generations might just have an iPhone. I suspect that is the target audience.
Imagine journaling on the device I already do all of my journaling on.
Like, Apple, for real, if anything this should’ve STARTED as an iPad app.
Kind of clickbaity.
“There are some code leftovers that suggest Apple has been developing iPad and Mac versions of the Journal app, but it all seems quite experimental and unlikely to be ready in time for the release of iPadOS 17.2 and macOS 14.2 in the coming months. If I had to make a guess, I’d say that Apple will hold the iPad and Mac versions for iPadOS 18 and macOS 15.”
It looks like they’re working on it, but it’s not on the beta of 17.2. It might take a bit, but there’s nothing that suggests that it will never be on either.
