An App For Your Hair Journey: A Review Of the Hair Journal App On iPhone

Growth Tracking

The final category is an awesome growth tracker that pulls all the data you have added about your hair growth within the app and charts it for you so that you can see a visual of what your hair is doing. The graph just has a line that changes direction as you fill in details about your hair length, moving up or down based on what you put in, this part of the app was a great addition keeping things interesting.

What I liked 

The visual is awesome, who doesn’t like a graph with a line that continuously goes upward. All jokes aside, if you are a visual person this will definitely be right up your alley.

What I did not like

If I had any suggestions for the growth tracker it would be for it to be able to calculate growth rates on the graph based on the measurements that are added to the app. In other words we would be able to see ‘ +2’  for a two inch gain from one month to the next or ‘-2’ if your hair happened to fall out or you trimmed.

Overall the app is great for tracking your hair journey electronically and really helps to pull things together if you are interested in tracking your progress. The full version of the App does cost 99 cents on the iPhone platform with a free taster version available as well. You may or may not think that the paid one is worth it, if you are able to live with the missing additives mentioned earlier.

In response to a comment from one of the fans on their Facebook page about wanting the app on android, the creators had this to say:

Unfortunately we don’t have an Android version yet, but we have plans to develop an Android version for 2013. We don’t have any specific timeframe yet but we’re hoping to get this out by March/April 2013. Will keep you updated..

If you do decide to purchase this app, the creators seem very open to suggestions giving ample opportunities for feedback, reporting any bugs, Facebook and support.
