Leave a Review Lifecraft
No Updates
I have both the iOS and Mac apps and neither have been updated in 8 months which predates my subscription.
Developers who have switched to the subscription model should be updating their app on a regular basis, fixing bugs, adding features etc.
I cannot recommend this app and have already switched journaling apps to one that seems to be getting updated on a regular basis with a developer that is active on social media and answers question and takes features suggestion.Show lessGPITMAN
Great app but challenges not working
Every time you go to accept a challenge the app crashes and closes. Please fix!Pleuv0ir
Lifecraft
I love Lifecraft! It's the best app for me that helps me to journal and have interaction with the app. The challenges and different writing prompts I really enjoy . However, I've completed all the challenges so please update the app as soon as possible . I still use it to journal and I've repeated some of the challenges - but it's definitely a keeper and I recommend it to everyone that wants to monitor ,explore and enliven their emotions and feelings.Show lessᗪEEᗷO
Challenges component doesn’t offer much
This app has 4 components:
Journal: The journal is simple and easy to use. You can customize the font. Entries are easy to add. You can make little drawings within the app and add photos to entries. You can link emotions with journal entries which is very nice.
Emotions: I love the interface of the emotions component. It is easy to use. You can set time frames for emotions. This is useful for monitoring and self reflection.
Compass: This is a daily “lesson” to guide your thinking and provides an 8 minute daily journal prompt. I enjoy this because it gives me a quick way to journal daily.
Challenge: This component is almost nonexistent. There are only 5 challenges. It seems fairly useless. Considering this is 1/4 of the “program” it really kills the value/effectiveness of the process.
You can track your progress in these four areas on the Dashboard.
Overall, I was really excited about Lifecraft until I found out that “challenges” doesn’t offer much of anything. It seems useless. I had signed up for a year subscription but canceled when I discovered the serious limitations of the Challenges component.
Lifecraft pIease develop a more robust “Challenges” category so I can change my review to 5 stars.Show lessDababyz
Lost entries
Regrettably, I’ve have to reduce my rating in light of the new update. I am a Pro subscriber and use the app regularly. In addition to journal entries, I used the Emotions section to save notable quotes without assigning a particular emotion to them. This allowed me to easily find the entries on the calendar because they were all in grey. When they pushed out the recent update, all of my quotes were lost! The entry dates are there but the content is empty. Two and a half years of entries gone. *sigh*

Previous review:
I started using this app a few weeks ago and immediately loved it! I decided to upgrade to Pro so that I could use the emotions and sync between devices. A few days ago, they pushed out an update which works fine on my MacBook Pro but is very buggy on my iPhone 6. Specifically, syncing is not working properly so an entry I just made on my Mac is not showing up on the iPhone. The sync function just seems to get stuck and restarting the app does not help. Also, the new Compass feature is confusing and doesn’t really add anything IMO to what was a nearly perfect app. I hope the developers will fix the syncing issue and not clutter this lovely, simple platform with less than useful features in the future.Show lessPraise74
Great Journaling Software
There are a lot of great options for journaling software, but one thing that stands out for me is the ability to capture emotional states and thoughts about your emotions.
It’s difficult enough for people to figure out what emotions they are experiencing and the easy way to incorporate how you are feeling when you journal or make a note about your current emotional state, so the way Lifecraft incorporated it into journaling and emotion states made me choose this program over other options.
I’ve also heard back promptly from support when I’ve had questions (in a day or two) which is an added bonus.
They haven’t updated the app in over a year from what I can see, but it’s still a great app and I’m looking forward to the next leap forward!Show lessAriaSonata
Good news and bad news
This app is just what I was looking for. I wanted a daily guided journaling application with the ability to create easily-separable folders for different types of journals. Lifecraft doesn’t have this feature exactly, but the tagging and template options are a great alternative. The compass feature’s interactive messaging-style interface is fun and visually appealing. I love being able to track my moods alongside my entires (although I wish I could log more than one emotion at a time).
I was so enamored with the app that I sprung for the pro version. (I also seem to remember a pop-up ad that simply would not allow me to exit and return to the app...) Since then, the compass feature has not worked at all. I haven’t been receiving notifications, and I cannot get Zee to interact with me!
This was my favorite part of the app, as it keeps the journaling process gameified. I’m not sure what the use of extra features would be to me if I can’t use the major one. Is it normal to stop getting compass prompts after subscribing to the pro version. I updated my app, then deleted and redownloaded with no changeShow lessMHA (call me Ryan)
Just What I Needed in the Time of Corona...
As you already know, 2020 has been “(fill in your own thought)”. I was feeling pretty burned out and unproductive, so I started looking for coaching. The few people I sought out were completely booked. On a whim, I decided to search for a “coaching app”. Lifecraft was among my top three apps that resulted from the search.
Lifecraft asks thought provoking questions and supports change through journaling. I also like the ability to “track” my emotions throughout the day. I can also write a brief description about that emotion which I can review later. It really helps to see patterns of emotions related to different experiences throughout the day.
Lifecraft could be the remedy to COVID quarantine stress and lethargy. Give it a try!Show lessGlad to Share My 2 Cents
Sync problem
Sync problem with pro account. Information on phone and Mac isn’t syncing.
Otherwise I like this app.MikeStaller
Good app
I am using this app in conjunction with another as it currently does not have a feature to record self reflection notes. It helps categorise emotions but would be handy to have the other feature where self reflection notes can be referred back toZainab Amin
