Health and journal still missing

[dp226]

Pretty happy with what was talked about in the update but there are two things still missing. Journal and Health. Would really like for those to make it over to the Macintosh.

Health so I can look at the 3rd party data on the big screen on the Macintosh and enter things by hand from my desktop. Tired of squinting on the iPhone and really don't use an iPad. Will probably gain access to this from the new mirror my iPhone but that is not going to be ideal

Journal so I can see everything from anywhere. Currently use and am happy with Day One but Journal would give me an option.

It kinda blows my mind that Journal, an app where you might want to type a lot, isn't available on Mac. When it was first announced I thought I'd use it but when I found out it wasn't on the Mac I never bothered.

It's especially bizarre when Apple's own developer tools make it so easy for an app to run on both.

Come on Apple get on this.

This is a bit odd and I agree that this app should be available on macOS as well as iOS. Typing long form on an iPhone isn't pleasurable for me. I prefer a laptop or desktop for this kind of thing.

iPhone mirroring to Mac is a semi-fix for this. I'd much rather have native Mac apps for these. I use the both the health and journal apps daily.

What really gets me though is Fitness+, an Apple service that I pay for cannot be used properly on the Mac, whether I’m screen mirroring or using the iPhone Mirroring app. Screen mirroring lets you mirror the Fitness+ video without metrics to the Mac in full screen. The iPhone Mirroring app lets you mirror your metrics (and sound) but not video in the small iPhone window.
