iOS App Lists Lists, Reviews, and More
Technology is fantastic, but it’s so easy to lose touch with the “simple things” nowadays. Writing in a journal used to be a daily ritual for me, from pages and pages of thoughts to simple notes. Though Facebook statuses and tweets might seem sufficient, sometimes you need a safe and comfortable place to “let it out”. Here are some of the best iPhone apps for journaling.
