Popular journaling app Day One reached version 3 today and introduced a number of new features for both free and premium users.
Headlining version 3 of the app is an all-new editor interface that the developers say has been built from the ground up. The action of editing an entry has been simplified so that now it's just a matter of tapping wherever in the entry text that you want to place the cursor.

Tapping the "Aa" icon now brings up a new Editor menu with entry formatting options including Headers, Bold, Italic, Lists, Quote Block, Code Block, Rule Line, and indents. Meanwhile, Markdown support continues to include auto-conversion of Headers, Lists, Bold, and Italic into rich text.
In addition, Advanced Markdown like tables and HTML are also now supported by means of a Code Block option that auto-detects existing content wrapped in a code block and remembers your viewing preference (code/HTML rendered).
Elsewhere in the new UI, there's a new entry content menu for for adding Photos, Camera, Audio, and Tags, a dynamic photo group collection grid, and entry checklists.
For Premium subscribers, Day One 3 brings a new Dark Mode that can be set to change with the local sunset/sunrise times. There's also a new Audio Recording feature that supports transcription using Apple's Speech dictation service and allows users to record 30 minutes of audio.

(View all)hard pass, thank you.
Thanks but no thanks. I prefer to drink my coffee rather than give it away to greedy app devs.
Exactly. It makes me sick when people charge money for things they spent time working on. Who do these developers think they are, charging money for services? Developers should work for free, like everyone else on the planet does.Great update!
How many cloud services am I expected to sign up for? They could have easily offered iCloud, Dropbox, google drive, and or OneDrive in the free version and then offered to let you pay for their “secure” storage. I bought their first version and have slowly stopped using it because they changed the point of the app. It was about journaling, but with version 2 they decided it was a secret diary and security was most important. It isn’t.For those complaining about the sub model... it's optional. The app is still very functional for the price of 0.00.
