When I'm in the landscape-mode and slide between the different tabs, the "new entry"-pencil remains blue and the other pencils just slide under it.
That doesn't happen in the normal mode.

Nexus 5, Android 6.0.1

If you tap the red underline on a misspelled word, the text of the alternatives dialog is very dark and on a dark grey background. It should be white or something light so it's more readable and clear. Check out the picture; it should get the point across more clearly.

I like Narrate, and the intention of this request is to be intended as constructive.

In some cases Narrate loses the current note and is impossible to recover it:

• When a note is not yet saved and one hits the "back to list" arrow located top-left, the note is lost (or, the changes made and not saved are lost). In my opinion the application should advise the user (if someone want to delete the note, there is the trash button).

• The same behavior occurs when one hit the "Back" button on the phone.

• When in a note someone hit the geolocalization button and there is no immediate response from the GPS (e.g. because it is turned off), if the "Home" button of the phone is hit, the note is irredeemably lost (in the other conditions the note is correctly maintained in its state)

  (Version 2.4.0 on Android 6.0.1).

I have a day one library that was previously stored on Dropbox. In that location, Narrate was able to sync. I have since moved it to Google Drive, where Day One is able to sync, but when I try to toggle the option in Narrate, the toggle slider moves to the right (enabled) and then immediately slides back to the left (disabled).

I've tried deleting Narrate's system storage, uninstalling and re-installing the app, just about everything I can think of. Note that even after having uninstalled and re-installed, the path to the dropbox sync folder is still shown (even though dropbox sync is disabled). If I toggle dropbox sync on, a modal window appears asking which sync folder I'd like to use, but when I toggle drive sync, no modal is shown.

Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Running on a Nexus 6P, experienced on Android Marshmallow, although also reproducible on Nougat.

Adding a video import function would be a great addition for all that prefer video journaling.

Thank you for your efforts!
There are some minor issues (Version 2.4.0 on Android 6.0.1):

• Sometimes the calendar in the main page starts from January 1900.
• Sometimes when the calendar is selected, it shows under the calendar a note of the current month, sometimes it doesn't show nothing. It would be nice to see the list of all the notes of the selected month.
• Writing a note, the last row of the note (the current one is writing on) sometimes is at the level of the keyboard and is partially hidden by the lower toolbar. One must tap and move up the note in order to see the last row.
• When the notes are showed, the first line break in the note is not visible: one sees the paragraphs joined and there is a line break visible only when we have multiple line breaks. In editing mode, all is ok. Is it an intended behavior?
• Sometimes, after saving long notes, the upper toolbar of the application gets a transparent background and the buttons are not visible until one taps on the note and moves it (the upper toolbar return with the correct background).

Can I access Narrate app from Windows and Ubuntu desktop environment?

Previously when I closed the app it would lock and I'd have to enter my passcode to reopen. Now the journal just unlocks automatically upon clicking the app icon. The settings seen to be right, this feature just isn't working.

so it seems that their is an orientation bug within narate. when you switch between portrait and landscape the app closes back to the passcode screen.

I's stuck at the welcome screen, and tapping on the button does nothing. Any help is appreciated.

Dropbox is changing something in their API that is going to cause Narrate to stop working on September 28. This is the email I got today:

On September 28, 2017, we’ll be making some changes to Dropbox that will likely affect the following 3rd party apps linked to your Dropbox account: Narrate. You’re receiving this email because you’ve used these apps at least once within the past month.

While we’ve informed all developers about our upcoming changes, the developers for the apps listed above have yet to update their apps accordingly. If they don’t update their apps before September 28, these apps will no longer be able to access Dropbox. That said, any data already saved in Dropbox won’t be affected and will still be accessible from our official web, mobile, and desktop clients.

As a recent user of these apps, we recommend you take the following actions:

• Review how you use these apps, especially if you use them to access Dropbox
• If you rely on these apps to store data in Dropbox, we suggest exporting or backing up any data from these apps before the September 28 deadline.

We understand changes like these can be inconvenient. We hope that the recommendations above help you plan accordingly. If you have any questions about these apps, please contact the apps through their support channels.

My son is a passionate user of Narrate and has been using it for a while. He damaged the phone screen Samsung A5 (model CE0168) and the phone can be activated using voice commands but the screen is non-functional. So he lost his valuable journal entries. Is there a way to recover data? He did not back it up on SD card nor used cloud storage.

Is it possible to export my data from the app?

The local backup doesn't seem to be running automatically. It works finely when I run it manually.

is there any chance of including a quick entry feature? something like a floating window launched by a shortcut. something similar to focus notify. i often find my self needing this type of feature. i have included a screen grab of focus notify just in case your not familiar with it.
