Version: 7.3.1
I am a little behind the time only having upgraded from a iPhone 6s to an iPhone 14 just a few months ago. I tried to add a new entry into my MacJournal on iPhone and was unable to. I went to install an update but it did not show up.
If I can no longer use this app, does anyone have a suggestion for what I can use? I can still see my entries, and can update the existing entries but can no longer create new ones.
Thanks,
Deb

I'm quite happy with the current version. If you want to have the old labels style in dark mode, here's the trick given to me by the dev: Open the Advanced preferences and hold down the Control and Command keys. Press the Reveal Hidden Prefs button and a new icon will appear in the toolbar. check "Use label color as background color for a row in Sidebar”. While it works, this trick won't bring back elegant round corners as in v6.

Maybe you add a Universal by WWDC in 2022 because it's not 2015 Intel Mac anymore! Even the last Intel Mac Pro will change in fall of 2022 so why not recompile your code by today?

Still love this app, find its easy to use. Been using it for years and i've not found anything like it. It has timeline and i can drag and drop photos to keep track of client info. Hope it keeps getting updated.

I'm afraid Dan Schimpf (MacJournal's original and current dev) has not much time to dedicate to this app: I had a very nice and upbeat answer to my mail two months ago, with some tricks to improve my experience, then nothing; the issues I mentioned in my next mail are still not fixed and the redirection of MacJournal's support page (https://www.danschimpf.com/supportcenter.html) to Mariner Software (the former developer/seller) has not been fixed neither! :-o Version 7.3 has a few glitches here and there but is perfectly usable (here on 10.14) but I keep old 6.2.2 at hand as they share the same database — no issue when switching between them. V6.2.2 was perfect but lacked the dark mode...
