Day One Updated for iOS with New Design, Support for 64-Bit A7 Processor and M7 Motion Coprocessor

Just a little bit of clarification encryption, as I think some of the earlier comments oversimplified things a bit.

It is correct that Day One lacks encryption and stores entries as plain text. These can be read outside the App. If you are concerned about this, you can easily turn on Filevault on your Mac and set a strong login password. This way no one can read your notes except you.

On the Dropbox/iCloud side, it's really not true to say anyone can read your entries. Dropbox and iCloud both encrypt your data as soon as it leaves your computer. All data is stored on their servers in an encrypted format. Whether you trust the service or not is a separate issue, but accessing your journal entries is not trivial and certainly not achievable by 'anyone'.

If Day One added encryption, it would be a second level of security on top of the existing options - nice to have sure. But I hope the points above show the current implementation is actually pretty good security wise.

I like to try this app. Can it sync with my Calendar? Or can I transfer Calendar data to it?

I would give just about anything to have a Full Screen view in landscape on the iPad. How can they be at 1.12 already and STILL not have implemented this? Having the Menu block sit there like a lame duck in the upper left corner taking up real estate—and taking AWAY from your text input real estate—is INsane. They allow the user to Show/Hide the Menu with a toggle button in Portrait…why won't they give this to us in landscape? I've written to them before about it—no sympathy, apparently.

Well whatever the designers of Day One where thinking, but it may be too late. After upgrading to maverick. Day One forgot where it store its data on syncing, hence it erased data on the device and wanted to sync old data from iCloud. I used dropbox, which was no issues until the update. Once the update, you had to drop you dropbox folder in utilizing to relink. Of course this did not work and the out was almost of year of data was erased. Can't recreate because it seems whatever was in iCloud takes priority over the device. So time machine did not help. Oh. tech support that happening. Read the reviews on iTunes and see how other have had the same issues.

Not gonna lie, this worries me about. Would you advise that iCloud users should migrate to Dropbox instead?

Upon the advice of day one tech support, I switched to Dropbox, and haven't had any trouble since I switched. I reinstalled the app last week, and it defaulted to iCloud. And every entry I made up to the day I stopped using it on September 21 was still there. I switched it back to Dropbox of course, but it was kind of nice to know my stuff was still there.
