Just hit the submit button - the second beta of The Dad Journal is now in Apple’s hands for review! Can’t wait to see it go live.The first beta was an absolute blast - I never expected so much interest.Dads from all over the world downloaded it to give it a try:

It feels like I’m on the right track - working on something that will genuinely be useful to others. That thought makes it easier to push through these final tasks.I’m planning for the last beta to land in August, with the full release coming quickly after - in September. As I write this, the final illustrations are being created in Barcelona, which adds an exciting finishing touch to the project.September will be intense, but before diving into that final stretch, Alan and I are taking a short beach break to recharge.

They say summer holidays are for chilling, recharging, and slowly gearing up for the year ahead.Well… not this time.For me, it’s been less of a lazy sun lounger and more of a sprint - a race toward a finish line that’s still a few weeks away.

With the app release on the horizon, I’m changing priorities. Instead of posting weekly, I’ll be moving to an every-other-week schedule for now. Once the launch is behind me and things settle, I’ll be back to the regular pace.

If you haven’t tried the beta yet, now’s the time — your feedback is invaluable.

For dads, by a dad.
