Will there be a journal app on the iPad as there is now on the iPhone?

Please PLEASE add the journal app to iPadOS! I’ve been searching for something like it to use with iPad mini, replacing my physical/analog notebook. I purchased the mini specifically for this purpose and the third party apps are all lacking for one reason or another. JOURNAL is perfect and the security features are better than third party.

Makes me wonder what they were thinking to launch on the iPhone…. A journal app should have launched with the Mac or the iPad devices with a keyboard. They always seem to be one step behind what we want.

Please have the app JOURNAL recently launched available on IPad million customers will use it… Oh well every one able to use a keyboard

Honestly, it only makes sense placing the journal app on the iPadOS/MacOS as well. For me, the journal app on iOS is a good idea to for glancing or jotting down something quick. I feel that a lot more people wouldn’t only just use the journal app more if it was on iPadOS/MacOS, but they would likely have more positive reviews. I really hope Apple dives deeper into what the journal app could be. It really has the potential to be an amazing an app.

Day One allows all sorts of media. At the moment, it appears to still be much better than Apple's app. And, according to articles I read, Day One will be incorporating Apple's Journal Suggestions (Apple has made that an option). The other thing I like is that Day One allows you to export your journal as a PDF. So far, I haven't figured out how you can get Apple's Journal entries out of the phone. But, I haven't spent much time looking.

The downside to Day One is that some features require a subscription. On the other hand, it can be accessed from an iPhone, iPad, Mac or any browser.

Have you told Apple how you feel? They don't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You use the feedback link:

My iPhone has just been updated and now has the Journal app. My iPad has also been updated to 17.2 but I don’t see the Journal app. I have tried using the iPhone version but I would much rather use the iPad and a keyboard to make notes about my day than the iPhone

Apple has said nothing about plans to add the feature to the iPad. You can let them know it's something you'd like to see here:

Meanwhile, you might want to look at Day One. It's a fantastic journal app.

Most apps are available on all Apple devices, I really wish that the Journal app was able to be used on my iPad and Mac, as they make much more sense for journalling than on a little iPhone with no physical keyboard or stylus abilities. While on the subject, it would also be 10/10 if there was a stylus for the phones... Procreate Pocket doesn't hit the same without it, and neither does note taking. Thank you!

Please, my revered Apple developers, I beg of you, make the Apple Journal app available on the iPad. It’s my main mode of doing anything digital because it’s 💯 easier for me. With the few remaining years I have left, I would dearly love to be able to use the amazing Journal, but I really can’t on my phone. 🙏❣️

Sincerely,

Carolyn , a devout Apple fan

Meanwhile, any journal app that only stores your data on the device should be pretty secure. And, really, at this point, the Journal app is pretty rudimentary. Notes on your iPad would be a reasonable option.

Day One has been my diary for a couple of years now, but it is a bit overloaded for my purpose, and the yearly subscription is not particularly cheap. I am hoping for both iPad OS and Mac OS versions of Apple Journal, fingers crossed!

Yes, I would LOVE the journal app for the iPad, especially with the ability to use the Apple Pencil. I much prefer using paper journals, but am trying to find a low waste alternative. I’ve used the journal app on my phone, but I have an iPhone mini and find typing on it for journaling frustrating. Overall I like the app and I’m looking forward to improvements! Like an iPad app :)

Meanwhile, you may want to try one of the many journal apps available for both iPhone and iPad. Many of them are much better than Apple's.
