  • Reflectly! 😀 (please read!)

    I absolutely love reflectly! BUT... there is one thing. The only thing I am a bit dissatisfied with is the lack of options that the people who do not want to pay a subscription for the “premium”. (Keep in mind that the subscription is QUITE a bit of money!) So reflectly, I would really appreciate it if you guys could add some more options for the people who don’t want to pay the monthly subscription. Other than that, I would love to elaborate on how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE this app! First of all, this app helps so much with daily check ins (if that makes any sense) on how the users of this app days are going, and the way that this app doesn’t just leave us all struggling (this is me) to search our mind of what to write about the day we had— it gives us good and realistic questions to answer. I also must add that the feature of adding pictures to the journals is amazing because you never know when one of us users may want to sneak in a pic of a nice day at the beach, cool food etc. overall, I love this app and am looking forward to the future updates. Thank you for taking this time to read this rewiew!!! 👌❤️😁 truly pleased— these 5 golden stars are all shining bright and true!!!

  • I am so freaking mad rn.

    this app is amazing and i’ve used it for quite a long time, which is why i’m so upset right now. i wouldn’t usually write a review like this, but i’m just hoping the creator will respond because this is quite upsetting. i’ve been using this app since just before quarantine. i’ve logged so many paragraphs of my feelings and it helped so much. i was able to look back and see all the terrible times i went thru because honestly i’ve never been so terrible in a period of time (quarantine). i wanted to look back and log my day in again today only to find the app completely changed and deleted all of my entries. all of those hard times, all of those 5 am breakdowns, gone. just gone. i don’t even like the update very much. they added the option to choose multiple emotions and stuff like that which was great, but the old layout made me more calm and i liked the aesthetic better. i’m just so upset that such important moments from the past 5 months just got deleted for no reason. it deleted my account as well and made me do the whole tutorial again. please, PLEASE tell me there’s a way to fix this. it’s very upsetting to me.

  • Amazing 🤩💞

    Just when I had started to give up and think there is only one solution to my problems I got the life changing add I had got it many times before but have never really thought about getting it ever since I got this app I have been allot happier and more organized it’s very simple to sign up and set up takes some time to get used to and turning on reminders is definitely helpful! 🤩🤩🤩 but for real this has helped me cope with anxiety I feel much more put together and organized I wish I would have gotten it sooner it really helps me look at what my life is like in a different view I get to see what I thought of previous day weeks and months also the app recommendations are good to i ended up getting one of the other apps recommended called Done and it give me reminders for holes that I have set for self care like to remind to brush my teeth wash my face and even just to take a breath this app has really helped me though hard times and I know it will help me in the future as well I wish I could thank the creators of this app in person it really wowed me that there is actually good people in this world that care about others and not just them selfs 🥺🤩

  • Ok...let’s be honest here...

    I loved this app back in December 2019, I WAS able to write a lot. Then later on,I deleted the app. I’m not sure if my memory is terrible and I don’t remember how it was then (in 2019) But it just doesn’t seem the same to me. I remember that I was able to write so so much. But now since I don’t want to pay I can only write, well I mean I can’t even write, but I’m just able to tell the app how I’m feeling. To my memory, it gave you a question on how or why I felt that way I’m pretty sure. But now like I said before, it only asked me how I feeling and why I feel that way. I mean I think you’ll be a great great app if you were to pay, but I’m a broke person so,I don’t want to pay... but until I find an app that lets me write about how I’m feeling and is just amazing. For now, I will just have to make do with this one. By the way I know that there’s the notes thing but that’s not the same thing as what I remember OK? got it? Someone please let me know if I’m right in the app has changed or I am terribly wrong you know that I’ve hasn’t changed whatsoever. Thank you if you read the whole thing really appreciate it, peace people!!

  • Good

    The app itself is great. It has a really nice concept, it isn’t glitchy, it’s calming and entertaining. It does what it says it’s going to do. So the reason I put this as a four star rating is because to get the fully version you have to pay money. This is the case with a lot of apps, but this one in particular has not a lot of features without paying. I personally don’t want to pay money to get extras in an app that’s meant for writing. But the point of this app is to pretty to much have an online diary so it’s great. The other reason this is not a five star rating is because the app will sometimes delete what I have previously written and make me start over. For example, a few weeks back I wrote in this app every day. I stopped for some time and I today went back to look at my old writing and it was gone. I had to start from scratch with all of my preferences and my name. It isn’t the most convenient but it is overall a good app. It works for me, but if you’re looking for something a little bit more reliable it could be a little bit frustrating. But it has a nice aesthetic and calming effect, so I would recommend for those who need some interaction and somewhere to just process your day or something you are going through.

  • Brand new and loving it

    I just completed my first story, and it felt good to have something to write my feelings down in with major convenience. You don’t have to write anything (but you have the option to), it asks you to rate you day, what made you’re day that way, and how you felt throughout the day (you just press which one you feel, there plate options for this part, no typing required) There are also achievements that you can earn as time goes on.
    *update*
    I’ve been using the app for a while now, and I was really enjoying it, but today when I went into the app it said I had to login, which I’ve never had to do before. I don’t think it ever made me set my email to it or make an account, because I tried the password recovery multiple times and it just said that something went wrong. So now I can’t access any of my previous stories, which I’m very upset about because the main reason I got this app was so that I could go back and read them in the future, and it was more convenient to use than pen and paper. I guess I’ll be sticking to using paper from now on because all of my time just got wasted with this app. I would recommend this app because it has a good layout and it is more convenient than keeping a hand written journal, but for me personally it is not worth the risk of losing it all because the app all of a sudden needs you to “sign in”.

  • It was great until the update...

    So I have been using REFLECTLY for almost 40 days now, it has helped me so so much during the Quarantine. I loved the happy notifications, the thought provoking questions, and the pictures it would give me for each of my journals. When I would be having a bad day, I loved writing about it, and being given a picture of an adorable puppy, or a rainy window with a heart on it. I always smiled by the time I was done using reflectly. I still have my journals, but now all the happy pictures are gone? Sure if I attached any images those are still there, but I don’t get the ones that Reflectly gave me. It makes me really sad and the app just looks bland now. It’s kinda annoying having to sign in every time I want to open the app too. Like I get it for privacy reasons, it just seems silly when it’s on my phone. I miss how the reflectly used to be laid out and I am kindly asking maybe try to come to a compromise? I loved it until it updated, if it’s about like scrolling through perhaps just add like a scroll bar at the bottom underneath your journals how it was laid out to help for easy navigation. It’s just a thought and I know I’m not the only one that dislikes the update, I’m just putting it in kinder words.

  • decent app

    It is no doubt that the app helps people reflect on major experiences in their life while acting as a coping mechanism for anxiety and stress. I personally love using the app, and whenever something major happens in my life, the first thing I go to is this app and just rant about it. But after using this app for quite a while now, I believe there should be some modifications to make it an even better experience for users.
    1. Saved drafts: I would appreciate if there was a way to collect drafts of stories and save it. Not only can people come back to the draft to write more, but it can also some tons of time. I once wrote about 1000 words about a day, and for some strange reason, my phone shut me out of the app and my writing was gone. It disappeared. I was so descriptive about my day and it just went away. But if there was an option to hold drafts in which stories would save automatically (such as google docs or something), then I could easily find access back to my story and it wouldn’t have been lost.
    2. vertical display: I hope this makes sense, but I think it would be more convenient to slide up and down to access stories instead of sliding left to right.

  • Love this app

    This app is amazing. I have tried to start journals before and have always failed. I am not much of a big writing fan, when I would write in a journal I would not get to write everything I wanted because I didn’t want to write that much. My mind was going to fast for my hands so I would write summaries of what was going through my head. This made for a not so good journal entry. I would also forget to write often or just simply choose not to because I didn’t feel like writing. Luckily I am a faster typer than a writer so I am able to keep up with the thoughts going through my head. It is also a lot easier to write everyday because I can choose to get notifications. The app also has an amazing design that is pleasing to the eye ,and all my little entries look super neat rather than my sloppy- tired of writing, handwriting. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who doesn’t know how go express their feelings or feels like they have no one to talk to because it is a great way to get those feelings off your chest. That is actually why I got this app because I struggle with talking about how I feel so, being able to write about has allowed me to relieve a lot of stress.

  • Awesome app but some minor issues

    I have been loving the app. It’s been helping me a lot and I love journaling but just never feel like writing on paper. So this was the perfect app to get me in the habit of reflecting on my day without getting discouraged by writing in paper. However, I am giving 4 stars because lately, when I go in to add a story, knowing that I am connected to WiFi because other WiFi required apps work, when I try to click let’s go when adding the story, I get the same message telling me that something went wrong because of an internet connection problem. So I will check with google and other apps that need WiFi and they load just fine. I’m not sure if this is the actual app or just my iPhone that’s crashing. I never write reviews but thought that if you (the app developers) saw this, you might be able to try and fix it, if it is the app. But because of this issue I haven’t been able to add stories for the past couple nights. Even my morning moment are not loading the actual text. Just the headings. Anyways, I hope this can be fixed if it is a glitch in the app, but seeing other reviews it doesn’t look like anyone else is having this problem.
