And another ten stars for the developer and his outstanding support!
I have used viJournal for almost four years, keeping daily journals as well as additional journals for chemotherapy, dreams, a family genealogy project among others. I have been quite the chronicler. All that to emphasize the degree of usage that I have given this delightful, feature-rich, solid application.
When Unsanity's APE crept in the programming of many of my favorite apps causing crashes and peculiar behaviors, (viJournal being one of them), I was alarmed that I might lose all that I had written. One email to ScoobySoft was all that it took to begin the process of restoring viJournal safely away from the clutches of such an invasive program. Even though it was not a viJournal problem, ScoobySoft walked me through the entire reparation process. Four years of writing is safe and I am one very happy user.
ScoobySoft knows that by writing software for journaling, the firm has entered the realm of the very personal and responds in a caring, concerned and dedicated-to-the-satisfaction-of-users fashion. I cannot praise ScoobySoft more than this.
The program itself reflects that same dedication. It offers many delightful and immanently usable features such as the ability to change the theme from Metal to Aqua (let's face it, Aqua IS more personal and intimate, like journaling), custom cover page even page colors, hefty typesetting features, security features, notes, easy image importing, to-do lists, a great drop box and cratch pad---all-in-all a robust thoughtful program written to be used and enjoyed. ,
If you ever record anything for yourself or others, this is the program to use.
Great program! I like the menu planning feature, although it crashes when I try to make a shopping list.
The instant links from the menu bar to various online recipe sites are a very nice feature.
Two suggestions:
First—Each recipe pane needs a field to enter the oven preheat temp in the uppermost part of the pane, not just entered as text into the instructions.
Secondly—it would be WONDERFUL if the ingredients would create real typographical fractions (i.e., ½—not the big honking 1/2) by entering the decimal amount, (in this case .5).

Immediate response from the developer. (Quite a pleasant surprise for this long-time Quark user…)
Keep up the great work, Tony!
