Leave a Review Reflectly
Its great for some people
If you can remember to do this and have the effort to try and make a daily story, this is perfect for you if you need to relieve stress, and feel more productive! This is why i turn on notifications, make sure to do that. I honestly love it, but you could add a few things. 1: be able to share your thoughts and get feedback from other people who are going through the same thing. I find that satisfying that if i am going through a rough time, i am not alone. This is not just for stress, depression, and anxiety. This just could be used to pull yourself together, be more organized, and overall a nice experience. 2: have a schedule. I think it would be nice to have a calendar, and you could tap a date, and add something you have to do on that day. (Also used if you have notifications on) sure, we could download a separate calendar app, but this would get much more downloads if you have it all in one. 3: a “diary” would help feel more fresh and like wight being lifted off your chest. I personally, like digital diaries, because they are easier and my hand doesn't get tired 😂 Im sorry if any of these were already included, but these are some of my ideas!Show lessi cant tell you my name
Great for Remembering to Write and Let Your Thoughts Out
Reflectly does exactly what it says, creating an easy and effective platform to job notes about your day. While similar to the notepad function, it offers a bit more with interactive elementals like describing mood, asking daily questions, etc.
Where this app has a problem (it seems like a bug) is when you try to edit something you said, it often freezes and you have to go back to the top of the page, close your keyboard and then go back. This is a really frustrating issue (happening as if patch 2.8.4.). When this happens it makes me just want to use the notepad function, because it feels choppy and rough. I also don’t like how you can’t paste text into your descriptions. It makes transferring things from my notepad really frustrating and hard.
Other than this bug, I find Reflectly to do exactly what is says, and guides you through your thoughts. While you could just use a notepad, the features are a nice addition for staying on track and engaging thought. Hopefully they’ll fix the above-stated issue and improve fluidity is the app.Show lesscalmingrain
Generally A Good Start
I was feeling kinda down for a while, and when I started scrolling through apps, an app of the day was Reflectly. It looked cute so I tapped on it. I saw it had things to motivate your day and bring out the best in you. The challenges, questions, and goals help you rejuvenate happiness. So click I went and now I have the app. This reflection is recent, I have not even had the app for a day. But it’s friendly smiles and quotes to brighten your day help a lot. Reflectly is a self - journal to reflect your days. It’s probably described as a diary, but it is so much more. The app is very well
designed too. The graphics, characters, words, and more are smoothly operated by the creators. I feel really confident that I am going to be a lot more happy in the future. Conflicts and glitches aren’t a problem yet, as apprised to other reviews here. You may be wondering why I have four stars. It’s because I am a beginner. I haven’t unlocked all if the tools involved in the Reflectly. It has shown me what to do, but it does let you explore the world of the app. Reluctantly I like this app, and if your dealing with something you’d rather not share with other people, this is the app for you. I will update if I change something about my vote. But again, the app was a generally a good start. I can already fell my stress bleeding right out of me. So now, get Reflectly, it’s a great start!Show lessSabre💝
I really love it but...
I really love it . However , I’m giving it four stars . Overall it is a very good app that I will be looking forward to using in the future . Now you are probably wondering why I give it four stars , it’s because of the price . While yes , the price of the app use is free , you are very limited to what you can do . If you are looking to just vent into a virtual journal , then look no further , this IS the app for you . But ... if you’re like me and want to take it further by taking photos and seeing progress ( like streaks and daily moods ) then you will have to buy it to access it . A premium account would be better for you if you want to go out and explore photos , get personal insights and more . The app , although , is still amazing , no glitches (yet , don’t count me on it ) and runs very smoothly . If you haven’t seen an ad on this , it’s basically an online personal diary where you can tell about your day and describe it by clicking what made it the way you feel about it ( such as food , travel, relationships etc. ) and your emotion( confused , happy , anxious ) . You can customize the screen and add onto the way your day was . I really like that and it’s a good app worth the try . 😊 I’ll update if something happens or whatever.Show lessSpaceCatsowyd
Simple and Fun!
This app is so enjoyable! Logging at rating my days makes me want to do more with my time so I can look back on my happiest moments, and the different questions asked each day is such a wholesome way to finish my day-to-day experience. I look forward to recording what antics I’d encountered at the end of the day, and having a visible streak pushes me even harder! I especially love how I can attach pictures to my day; there’s now a visual aid to help remind me of a particular moment. It makes me want to take more pictures of whatever enticing activities I come across!
The only reason I am not giving this app five stars is because of the intense lack of content for non-premium users. If I had the money, I would love to pay for my statistics and bonus features! Having those extra tidbits would greatly influence my experience on the app. Unfortunately, I do not have the money, and at stones the app seems to be punishing me for it. It’s rather annoying to be constantly bugged with “so you want to upgrade?” notifications, especially when the exit button is so expertly hidden that I have to close the app entirely.
Overall, Reflectly is a wonderfully charming and entertaining app! I rate this four golden stars and a wholesome kiss on the cheek. ;)Show lessxX_SLiNKi_Xx
Reflectly has changed my life
Reflectly has changed a lot for me not just the way I think mentally but physically it reminds me every day that I could be going through something worse that someone else could be suffering while I am here hating my life but living living a life that someone else would dream to have someone on the street would love would be grateful for, And as I say these words I am reflecting on my past self on how ungrateful and selfish I was so I’m saying thank you so much for helping me realize the pain that other people could be going through so that I can enjoy my life and be as great full as I can while I can because sometimes people don’t always get a good life some people don’t always get things like this some people don’t get gifts that make them special or that can give them money and honestly right now I am so grateful for what I have my past life I was suffering I had a really really bad past that I don’t think many people know about so I’m reflecting on my past self and I am thanking the lord that I could have this life and not be selfish anymore and I thank you God for this life that I’m given.Show lesslela ponn
Could Use More Inclusivity
When I first downloaded this app back in 2017, I really liked it because of the access to everything and the way I was able to express things without anything holding me back. Some apps similar to this require you have a subscription in order to access everything, and those always bothered me. Because I wasn't using this app as much as I could have, I deleted it and recently just re-downloaded because I felt as though I needed it more than ever. I was very bothered to find that a lot of the features that were free back when I had it two years ago are no longer available unless I have a subscription. This means I can't express my own emotions in a manner that I should be because the app wants me to pay 40$ a year in order for me to do so. As a student in university, I need something like this to help me sort through my depression and anxiety, and I don't have the money to pay yearly for a subscription to an app that I used to love. I believe that if some of the subscription services were taken away, such as the stats for my mood and the unlimited space for journal entries, this could be better, but the fact that the subscription takes nearly everything away from the user is something that I strongly dislike.Show lesslainie grace
Weird but worth it
I really like using the app, but a lot of the features advertised on their apple store page aren’t available unless you go premium. I thought it was weird, but I didn’t look at their page too hard, so I didn’t mind it. I love the way the typing feels so easy and the atmosphere the app sets is nice. It makes me feel like I’m safe when I’m writing it, like I’m talking to a therapist or writing a sick novel. I was put off by the missing feature, which was being able to track your progress in happiness, but I don’t mind it because I’m not the only one using the app on my phone. However, I don’t like the fact that you can only write one story for every day because sometimes I want to write other things, an entirely different story, but I can’t, which is ok. I’m fine with it since it makes the app feel much more natural, but it would be nice if you opened a specific day on the calendar in the app and you could choose which story to go over, but, again, I don’t mind it. (Also it’s cheap that you count spaces as a character since you’re making it limited for people who won’t or can’t pay.) Great app, nonetheless, would recommend to my friends if it didn’t make me uncomfortable to tell them I use an app diary.Show lessSepticLord
I love it. Honestly.
I’m not usually a sappy–wanna write in a journal about my life kind of person, and when I saw this app on an instagram ad I was a bit skeptical, but lately I’ve been going through a lot and I’m trying to come to terms with my emotions. I’ve tried many “log your day” types of apps.. and none of them have been as good as this one. It’s very calming, easy to use, straight forward, and efficient. I think the idea behind this app is awesome and it’s been executed very well. This has easily made its way to one of my favorite apps in such a short amount of time. I’ve already suggested it to my friends and I personally just think it’s perfect for someone like me.. someone who’s going through a bit of a rough time and just needs a place to vent. The app is already wonderful how it is, but of course ideally to me it could maybe have a section for something like breathing exercises, or a way to calm you down. I personally have a lot of anxiety and so I feel that would be very, very helpful. Even maybe some calming sounds, or videos. Just a suggestion of course! It’s still amazing how it is. I thank the people who made this app. I never knew I could care so deeply about a small little Icon on my phone. Thank you Reflectly team.Show lessNemuiBailey
Developer Response
Thanks so much for your review - it means the world to us and of course we are always trying to build a better product for you guys so thanks so much for your suggestions.Needs more
I just downloaded this app, and while it has a beautiful layout, there are times where it has its short comings. Firstly, there needs more be more versatility with things like activities and moods, because each day there are more things that affect you and just one entry is a little nerve wracking. Second, I have a premium account right off the bat (plus the trial) but what struck me as odd is that I have to PAY to document my emotions or daily events on this app—when in reality I feel like I’m only paying for it’s beautiful layout. Third, you can’t copy and paste or cut anything into your entry sections when you write. A gigantic error page pops up and that’s very frustrating and disappointing considering you’re paying for the app to function like any other maybe even better than others. This has so much potential but missing features like a monthly tracker to document your moods, multiple emotion options/activities to choose from when doing entries and trackers that monitor how often you feel a mood or how often you do an activity is really depressing. It needs more and that’s what I was expecting considering some people might actually pay nearly 45 a year to keep it running.Show lessDeondraDDavis
