These iOS 17 Features Won't Be Available at Launch

Who doesn’t. It’s the only apple device that doesn’t have one. Makes no sense. The App Store apps such and are full of ads. There’s zero reason they can’t port the iPhone app

That'*s true. But not a big deal - bec we all have always the iphone hanging around us...

They certainly did have a “group playlist” unless I’m thinking of sharing playlists?

When was that introduced?

I want the app to be released. If it is good enough, I can ditch Day One app.

I use the Day One app and love it. It’s been easy to tie it in with my therapy sessions, and it has helped me to jot down those feelings when I felt that I didn’t have anybody to talk to.

I like Day One. It is a very good app. It would be nice to be able to get rid of another subscription.

It would and if it’s better than Day One, I’ll transport those entries to the Journal App.

Can't wait for Journal!

So Journal will be later just like FreeForm

Imagine you are a trillion dollar company and you cannot even release such a basic app as Journal in a 12 months + development window. I’d be fired

Seriously, this is the point I was trying to make earlier. The inability to deliver functionality like this at Day 0 given their resources would never be tolerated in most software shops.

Honestly, does ANYONE care about the JOURNAL APP? I’m hoping it just won’t be available at launch, and then they will just quietly abandon it.

Anyone remember CLIPS?

I’m looking forward to an integrated journal app, so i don’t join you in your wish for the app to be unavailable and forgotten. Honestly.

Never used Clips. Never used Freeform. Journal App? Hmm. We'll see.

I used to use the Day One Journal App....but then I sometimes felt more forced to create an entry....I let it slip and then after the subscription notice I stopped thinking about it.

Sure, most of what can be done in the Journal App can be done in Notes but I feel like the UI will be different, it may even show a calendar to look back, or have "a year ago, memory moments" similar to how Photos builds those memories around people, places, or time events.

Similarly, I can keep ALL my recipes in Notes. it will work in a way that is acceptable. I can add photos,links, a radio-button ingredient list to check off each as I add them....but I PREFER to use Paprika App and think it is GREAT.


While it may seem FUNNY to some that these apps wont be ready for prime time ios17 release, perhaps the devs are helping in other areas. Perhaps there are features that need to function with parts of iOS that hasn't been fully ironed out. it may NOT just be a slow team failing to get the job done. what seems simple at my work can be bumped due to other priorities that pop up weekly and even daily.

You'll probably like when Apple comes out with Journal+, for only $4.99 a month. Complete with all the best features the original Journal didn't have.
