My Journal for Windows

User Reviews

• Can't access.

  BruceinAZFebruary 28, 2014

  Pros

  None, because you can't enter the program

  Cons

  First time use wants a username and password which I have not been allowed to create. Also installs malicious adware.

  Summary

  Do not bother with this.

• I can only say it's rubbish

  vaccoonApril 24, 2013

  Pros

  Have no idea

  Cons

  Installed the program and the additional software it required. That wasn't good enough because the program wouldn't let me create a user. It stubbornly rejected my efforts several times. It obviously doesn't like me. I just hope it likes other people. Maybe it's just full of animosity by nature.

  Summary

  I hate to waste my time on programs like this. People just put rubbish out there and wait for the money to pop into their bank accounts.

• Not very good.

  AnatoonNovember 25, 2010

  Pros

  I like the format of My Journal, but it's outweighed by it's cons.

  Cons

  It doesn't upgrade the previous version. It cannot open the previous version's files or backups. You cannot even do something as crude as copy/paste from the old version to this version as the old version doesn't permit copy/paste.

  Summary

  It doesn't upgrade the previous version. It cannot open the previous version's files or backups. You cannot even do something as crude as copy/paste from the old version to this version as the old version doesn't permit copy/paste. This new version was made with no regard to current users.

• Works like a charm and easy to use

  firelilyNovember 15, 2009

  Pros

  It works like a journal is suppose too. Easy to install and pretty icon and looks nice too. Not complicated or to cheesy.

  Cons

  I wish it had more options but the simplicity is cool too.

  Summary

  I like its ease and writer friendliness. It is a simple program that is nicely detailed in looks and you feel like you are using a quality program.

• Haven't tried 2.0 yet...

  OldeFartOctober 27, 2009

  Pros

  1.0 seems to work as promised although I lost a few days when I upgraded to 2.0 then immediately went back to 1.0

  Cons

  The look of it.. Very eightyish..

  Summary

  Actually I went to efficient diary. I use 1.0 as a back-up in case efficient crashes but it hasn't yet.. I'm not trying to compare products and efficient diary looks similar to my journal (eightyish look) but efficient has some things that my journal doesn't. Bottom line, both are good programs, it's merely a matter of preference.

• I wanted a date oriented journal app.

  DaviddudeOctober 20, 2009

  Pros

  Don't remember why I wanted a date oriented app.

  Cons

  Version 1.0 was free. I was surprised by 2.0 having a cost. (True 1/2 the cost of another date oriented program out there).

  Summary

  I honestly can't remember why I wanted to change from using M$ Word as my journal. Searches are easier in Word, the auto punctuation/capitalization in Word is great. I didn't use 2.0 to test those to see if they are there or not.

• easy to use and it's a valid record document

  Ralph97391October 20, 2009

  Pros

  migrates v1.0 files into v2.0 spell check and ability to attach files documents all changes so you can insure completeness while maintaining integrity as a journal

  Cons

  activation key us usable only 3 times

• Good for being Free Program

  desertcamilaOctober 4, 2009

  Pros

  Free, easy interface

  Cons

  Not enough features

  Summary

  This is a very simplistic program and for being free i would say A+ but it doesnt fully fill my needs in a journal. I could not edit previous entrys and I could not add entries for dated before I downloaded the program. Other features were average.

• Almost Perfect! ...(...almost!)

  AttractedToShinyThingsOctober 3, 2009

  Pros

  This has to be the most particle download on c-net, bah nan! This is an excellent product. As a consumer, I like the simplicity of the easy to use interface.It has a nice clean layout and design, that is easy to learn. Just sign in; type; then save.

  Cons

  Too simple, with not much room for personal file creation. But that's about it for the cons!

  Summary

  It's overall practicality, ease of use is overshadowed by the graphic design/layout which looks outdated... but I can live with that! But what I can't live with, is the fact that for somebody like me who likes to gather the weekly moments, and place it in a seperate file for the week, & then collate those files into a monthly file for me to peruse at the end of the year, I feel particularly limited. Since the application of a 'files system', shouldn't be a major application to address, writing in my mock up Microsoft Word based Journal is a very simple affair for me, until this sort of option is available, in this product, I think i would continue to write with my Microsoft Word Journal. I think the possibility of an update of this product with a file creation option, within the diary itself would suit the serious users, like myself, of this product to a 'T'! But this product isn't bad at all. It only needs to be more 'user flexible'. The use of a calender in this particular product, is negligible. But I too, wish is it had a reminder/to-do list which could remind me of upcoming events, as was suggested by DanaNicole76. But it is a journal, and I could probably do without it if it meant the difference between having the extra files option or a reminder/to-do list. But, both file creation, & reminder/to-do list, would no doubt be superb!

• can't get this to run

  1darkpawJuly 17, 2009

  Pros

  Nothing....it doesn't run.

  Cons

  I tried several times to get this to install on Windows 2000 with SP4. It would install but then give a runtime exception when starting to run it. So I installed it in XP with SP3. Same thing.

  Summary

  It sounds like a great product, if you can get it to run on your system. I, however, could not. 1 star out of 5, only because I can't give it 0 stars.
