Super disappointing. I knew it was coming when they tore out Dropbox and iCloud support.<p>I paid for the new version to support them, didn&#x27;t get any new features. Now merely 1.5 years after purchase, the only new feature I can recall is E2E encryption. And this only really brings it closer to parity with the old one, since we could spread who held our data with Dropbox&#x2F;Apple. On top of that, the newer version is slower to load, and lags considerably when scrolling. A journal app that&#x27;s supposedly &quot;lifetime&quot; running into issues handling 2 years of data is horrid. I still use the old one because it&#x27;s faster and iCloud&#x2F;Dropbox support.<p>Too many companies latch onto the one product that made them successful and don&#x27;t try to reiterate&#x2F;improve. I think DayOne was an awesome product at its time, but something else needs to come out. Forcing everyone to a subscription in order to sustain the company means they need to innovate more, not charge more. Best of luck to them, but I really wish they&#x27;d use their brains to come up with more products for me to buy instead.
