Using this Windows 8 Journal App
The best feature of the app is the ease of using it. When you get to the main page of the app, the option to add new journal will be shown to you.
You can begin by adding new journal using the option available. As you use this option you would be taken to the main interface of making the journal. Here, follow the below-listed steps to start:
- Firstly, add a suitable title for the journal in the first line of the app.

- A page to add the entry would appear, with a text panel on the left side of the screen. There you can start writing the journal entry.
- Now, by default, the entry you are making here would be having your system’s current date. Against this, you can also change the date of the entry by clicking on the date that is appearing on the top right side of the interface. A calendar will open up, in which you can choose the date, and can choose a time for the entry.
- The only problem with the app is that you don’t have an option to add entry for any other year except the current year. However, you can add entry for any month of the current year.

My Verdict
myMemoir is a nice Windows 8 Journal app for simple purpose of making journal. The app still lacks at the support of multiple media types to include in the entries. There is also no option to add entry for any year other than the current one. You can still use it to simply maintain your art of writing!
