I am using DayOne to journal. To me the most important feature DayOne has and Note does not have is the searching ability. In addition to regular search which Notes also has, in DayOne you could filter by years, look for journals from the same day from past years, filter by activities (DayOne can also read your activity data like running or walking), and also you can tag your notes and filter with tags. Some other differentiating factors - you could password protect your journal with a DayOne. DayOne makes it really easy to find and add photos (Activity feed), and it shows thumbnails of the photos when you edit your journal, which makes it easier to edit the text. In notes, photos are displayed in full size all the time. One very useful feature of DayOne is that you could add a photo and quickly set the location and date of the journal to the photo's. I have been using Awesome Notes to journal for about 3 years. Only until recently I started using DayOne. Awesome Notes is great, but DayOne is so much better.
