Reviews from real customers
Customer Reviews
This custom journal is amazing quality for a paperback notebook! The text printed on the custom pages and the layouts are spot on perfect to how I designed it! Unfortunately step 1 “Personalization” where you type your name does not actually appear anywhere on the actual journal so be aware of that part since I was a little disappointed. I would definitely consider buying from them again this is a perfect gift that can be customized to fit anyone’s interests. Overall, impressed (:
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We really appreciate you highlighting both the quality and your experience.
We actually include the journal owner’s name on the first page as a small added touch, even though it isn’t part of the standard customization flow. In some cases, when a name is entered in a way that may be intended for something else (rather than ownership), we hold off to avoid placing something unintended permanently in the journal.
We completely understand how that could be confusing, and your feedback is genuinely helpful as we continue to refine both the product and how we communicate these details.
