The Mac application is great, by the way, and the only drawback I’ve noticed in the iPad app is that syncing isn’t that brisk. So I can’t understand all the bad reviews posted earlier. I also sync the program on my Macs and that also is quite slow, so it might just be the way they have structured their database. I haven’t had any lost data or other catastrophes, but it is just quite slow. I sync over WiFi and one major drawback is that the sync process is quite slow.

You can have multiple journals, smart journals, and password protected journals (at least that is what I have used it for). Although I use it primarily to sync to my journals on my Macs, it certainly has enough features to function as a stand-alone app. I’ve been using MacJournal on my two Macs for over a year now and I bought the mobile version a couple months ago.

The bottom line is that no one should attempt to link via DropBox unless they are (1) running TimeMachine and (2) know how to use it to restore deleted files (I had to recover a decade of notes that were deleted in one of my attempts). There is little in the way of instructions in the app itself and the material on the Mariner web site is far from clear and not entirely up to date. The whole process is far from intuitive and, potentially, quite dangerous.

The offline editing does not work at best and at worst it will lose entries from your journal. The reason that I give it a two and why I say that Dropbox sync mostly works is that when you are offline don't do any journal entries.

If they updated it more frequently with meaningful updates that add features that they are missing, like include sync it would be a for or even a five. I would rate this a 3 except for one thing.
