  • LOVE THIS APP

    I love this app so much because of how easy it is to look at my past entries and how it makes me reflect on the things that I write about. It makes it super easy to just write a quick couple sentences each day. The interface is really helpful and it has so many amazing prompts.
  • Favorite journal app!

    Journaling has become sooo important for me and this app makes it easy to do in the moment, and easy to get the benefits of looking back on things. I’ve tried it all: notebooks, photos, other apps. Recollect does it the best! It was incredibly easy to get started. My biggest roadblock was that I was already using another app. I was able to import all my previous entries from that app — even the photos — to quickly get started with Recollect. My favorite Recollect feature is the calendar view with photos on each day!
  • An app focused on memories with people

    This app is people focused. It’s so easy to filter memories by people and even pets.

    It’s a good alternative to other journaling apps. The one thing it is missing for now is an export tool, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it added the option in the future.
  • Insightful, motivating journal app!

    This thing has all the basics you expect from a fantastic journal app, and SO much more! I’ve loved the suggestion feature within home page widgets. Every day I get a meaningful and approachable suggestion to write about my life for future recollection. I also LOVE the For You tab. Once you have a few entries (especially if you import from another journal app), it’s so cool to see how the app brings up wonderful memories. These suggestions, plus the insanely powerful tag and search features, will make Recollect my go-to for journaling going forward!
  • Hands down the best journaling app.

    I was using Day One for a while, it was ok, then I came across this app and it’s WAYYY better. The prompts are actually meaningful for example, it will save the names of people you’ve written about and give you prompts about those people in your life. You can add pictures and videos. You can set daily reminders to journal. You can customize your journal how you want. 10/10 journaling app.
  • The best journaling app

    I’ve had other big name journaling apps for over a decade wanting to grow a habit of journaling. I’d write for a few days and then fall off. I was invited to beta test recollect and from the start it was a different experience. I enjoy journaling. When I don’t have something to say it gives me a smart prompt about someone I’ve mentioned before. Using context it can even ask clarifying questions about past events all done on device. This has been the best experience. I rarely review apps but this felt like it deserved the extra effort.
  • Best journaling app!

    I absolutely love this app! It’s easy to use and navigate and the entry questions are so good! Some are easy and fun and others are deep and make you really think. I love how you can add pictures to an entry so when you go back on a memory there’s a visual that really takes you back. I really like how personal the app is like how you can create people in your life so the app adds them to entry questions. This app is just sweet and makes me actually want to journal and right about my life.
