Words autocorrect to a misspelt version of the word with repeated letters or num
-
My current issue with the Day One app (on Android) is that, when I’m typing, some words would autocorrect into misspelt versions of themselves. The word would repeat a section of itself and no matter how many times I delete the word and try retyping it the same thing would reoccur, for example …
“I can’t waiwawaiwall to“
I was trying to type, “I can’t wait to” . I tried deleting the app and redownloading, I tried changing my autocorrect word settings, but still I have the same problem.

The correction of words in the app is handled by your phone’s keyboard app. I recommend opening up Day One, opening a new entry, then when your keyboard pops up look for the gear icon in the keyboard for the settings. Then you should see a section on “Text Correction”
I made a video of the process here for you:

I’ve also noticed this issue. I’ve switched back to Day One on Android after a few years but this “bug” is really frustrating me. I don’t think it has anything to do with my tablets keyboard app. I have more or less narrowed it down to the fact that if you return to edit a misspelled word it automatically adds the corrected word to the end of the misspelled word. (ie: “Thin” becomes “ThinThink” when you add the missing “k” and “mayb” becomes “maybmaybe” when you add the missing “e”). An easy thing to adjust but a bit frustrating nevertheless…
