Boy I wasn’t expecting a lot out of an initial release in the beta, but to say this is barebones is a woeful understatement. Grant it I may be missing something here as I’ve only played with it a few minutes, but there’s no way to create multiple journals; no way to tag entries; no way to link entries together; no way to even search your entries; no way to format text, much less insert tables; no way to embed images inline (they show up at the top of the entries). The Notes app is far more capable. I’m surprised they didn’t reuse most of that editing code for this.
People thought this would be the end of Day One because it had access to far more on-device metadata than Day One was allowed, but this *automatically* captures almost nothing–no location, no activity statistics from Health, no weather, not even the specific time that the entry was made (only the date). You can *manually* add your location, but that’s an opt-in step.
