‘My iStory’ – Keep a Diary of Your Life [Review]
The My iStory app can best be defined as your own personal chronicler — it’s a digital journal that allows you to change the way that you record your activities. This app can be said to have perfected the concept of a reliable and interactive digital journal which so many other apps have tried and failed. My iStory enables users to record their experiences and activities in an interactive daily journal complete with images, text and audio. You can also add your own music to the entries made thereby providing a soundtrack for your life.
The simplest function is to create a new entry in the entries section. This allows you to scribble down any musings that you have and attach an image to them, which is perfect for capturing any thoughts you have in the moment. You can build on this by adding audio to the entry and the app supports geo-tagging meaning that you can later pull up a map to see exactly where you were when you added that entry. You can compile an eBook from these entries for sharing via email or for printing. This wealth of options makes this app the most detailed journal app on the App Store. It suits the needs of diary keepers to people who need to detail important events such as writer doing research for a book.
The ability to import photos and organize them by events makes this the best way to organize them. These photos can be sorted into event based galleries which means you will never forget what made these memories so special. Furthermore, you can upload images from your gallery or Instagram to My iStory. The app makes it easy to protect photos on your iPhone using the lock function with a passcode. Navigating the entries made can be done either by date on the calendar view or location on the map view. The calendar view is optimized for viewing ranges of dates to see entries you made in that period.
The slideshow function makes it easy to create a slideshow from photos from a particular date or event, plus you can add music to the slideshow created to make it more interactive and enjoyable. My iStory is a great app for chronicling events in your life as well as organizing the many memories captured with your iPhone.
