Location issues
-
You obviously don’t subscribe to the practice of “if it ain’t broken don’t fix it”. Location had worked perfectly for the last 7 years that I have used the app until the update a month or so ago. I have overcome the previously reported issues of locations showing as non-existent business names instead of the street name and number. Now my location duplicates the name of my town – so for example, “3 Any St, Anywhere” shows as “3 Any St, Anywhere, Anywhere”. When writing an entry for a day the location initially appears correctly at the top of the screen, but when it is saved the location line at the bottom shows the town name twice. Not only this, every entry going back months has now somehow gone and changed itself in the background to show the town duplicated. This also means that there is insufficient space on the location line to be able to show the weather as there was before. Apple maps shows my location correctly, no duplicated town name, suggesting this problem is with the app and not related to Apple Maps.

Hi @russafrancis. Thanks for posting! It does sound like there is an issue with locations. Have you tried disabling the new “Auto-apply Point of Interest” in Day One > Settings > Location History? This was a new option available in Apple Maps Mapkit provided to developers. Let us know if disabling that option helps.

I have tried everything – disabling “Auto-apply Point of Interest” in settings as well as changing the different settings in Location Services. Whether the issue is caused by Apple Maps or by a glitch in the App, whatever the developers set out to achieve has NOT worked. EVERY location entry in my journal going back to 2015 when I started it that were made with this address has been overwritten in the manner I described (with the town name duplicated and no space for the weather info) subsequent to the App being updated. Sorry, but you definitely have an issue and I trust the fix restores my 9 years of location entries.

Thank you for checking in on this for us! I’ve emailed you directly so we can dig into the details of this together more privately, as we’ll need some account and device specific information to proceed.
Please, do let me know if the email doesn’t come through soon.
