Following the addition of Apple's Journal app in iOS 17.2 some had wondered whether the demand for third-party journaling apps would start to wane. But that doesn't seem to have been the case thanks in part to the way app developers have continued to add new features the likes of which the Journal app can't quite compete with. At least, not yet.
Apple's Journal app is a relatively barebones effort right now and while that could change in the future, its biggest benefit right now is the Journaling Suggestions API that allows other apps to offer ideas for new journal entries based on music someone listened to, where they went, photos they took, and more. One of the apps that jumped on the Journaling Suggestions API is Day One, a stalwart of the App Store. And now it's added a big new feature that could be even more important.
