Comments about Day One Diary: Daily Journal Android Version

This is currently a very well designed app on Android but for some reason, they do not have a Windows, Chrome, or browser based interface so I can't give it the credit (stars) it deserves. (Developers, yes I paid for Premium.) EDIT: I found the web interface through the forum (should be a clear home page link). Adding one more star until a Windows app comes out.
Less than a week in, and I'm already so in love with it. 40 years of traditional diaries under my belt & an additional private e-mail online to store letters and stories were my previous journaling methods. The abilities of this app -- to store photos, videos, texts, posted thoughts and letters all in one place with options to share, print or have multiple journals at once -- is a game changer. If I ever write a book, this app will have played a major role in that objective.
It's been buggy for me (I have android/PC). Keeps overwriting my words on the android. So if I missspel something, it wants to add the word twice when I go back and edit it. I also lost an entire (very long) journal entry in the sync between the web version and the android app. Last thing, I realized it only allows for left to right writing. I write in Arabic sometimes and that requires you to be able to write from right to left. Currently exploring other options tbh.
