Like it but it does need some bug fixes

The screen timeout overrides the meditation, hypnosis and etc tracks, which is very counterproductive but if those things were to be fixed it might be very useful indeed. Maybe have it continue playing once the screen times out, or have it override the screen timeout function on ios

Hey there, thank you so much for the feedback. This is very valuable for us to know and we're going to make sure to fix that asap! Much love.

This app is nothing but a notebook

This app is essentially a glorified notebook with very few features. Moreover, they conduct business unethically by promising a free trial but charging you immediately without offering the trial. When contacted, they claim to be willing to work with you, but they never issue refunds.

The app won’t provide any insights into your triggers, fails to display historical data adequately, and offers embarrassingly basic meditations. You would be far better off using ChatGPT for all these purposes.

And I am being kind here

Hey there, thank you for letting us know about your issues. We would love to hear more about what we could do to improve the journal for you. We do provide a free trial, if there has been any misunderstanding on our side, we apologise. We are actively working with our customer support team to resolve any outstanding issues immediately. If you could provide your email address, we will follow-up with you asap.

What the disappointment?

I got so excited about this app and the possible opportunity to work on the shadow. But all it has some affirmations and meditations that I can find anywhere or do it on my own. It does have some prompt questions but the app is so limited and it’s not like it helps you to reflector it gives you some insights and it’s really hard to find stuff even though there are only four features. I can’t find my past writing so I am giving it up.

I love being a beta tester for data mining 🤡s

As many a reviewer has said the app is literally half baked (but) even more alarming is the privacy policy and how your data is sold to the highest bidder of several 3rd party sites they share it with for no known reason except GREED which truly is gross!!

🤮 🙈💯😢

DUDE what about my PRIVACY

Response from developer

We are certainly not selling your data. We take privacy extremely seriously because this is a journaling app where you share your thoughts. We would never sell any data under any circumstances. We apologise for any misunderstandings in our privacy policy.

Beta app??

Feels like the app needs a fair amount of refinement. For instance, I downloaded the app on my wife’s phone and sped through onboarding selecting the same response for every question to get to the IAP for her, and there is no way to reset/delete and go through onboarding again… useless.

Also, the app identified her ‘core wound’ as the same as mine and my responses to onboarding questions were completely different. No explanation or validation of this ‘diagnosis’, no reference to the list of ‘core wounds’ that are being diagnosed. I understand the idea and like like it, but the app feels half baked at present. Perhaps, I’m mistaken and missed the reset function and contextual info. If not… hopefully, the dev will resolve these issues soon. I will update my review accordingly.

It might be a good move for the dev to off lifetime premium access or some kind of incentive for users to beta test and provide feedback. That would give valuable insights and mitigate the growing number of negative reviews.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. Most onboarding are designed as a one-time experience which is why you can't do it again, but you are able to re-take the quiz which is one of the activities in the app. The quiz will give you your updated core wound. Hope this helps :)

Needs Privacy

I would give this app 5 stars but gave it 3 because it needs to have a built in privacy code so no one else would be able to read it unless they enter a code. Some people still share their phones and it wouldn’t be safe from prying eyes. Thank you.

Thank you for this feedback, we have considered a privacy lock feature. Sharing your insight helps us improve the product. We will make sure to prioritise this :)

Aaarrrrgh

Just downloaded app.

First step (how i feel) has 6 emojis but none of them match and can’t bypass

Please add:

neutral
overwhelmed
confused

Or at least “none of the above”
And an option to skip and revisit after session

This is great feedback, thank you very much. Thank you for bringing this up to our attention. We will work on this asap :)

Great app

Absolutely love this app! The combination of journaling and meditation features is exactly what I needed to bring balance and mindfulness into my daily routine. The journaling prompts are thought-provoking and help me reflect on my thoughts and feelings, while the meditation sessions leave me feeling refreshed and centered. The interface is user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to navigate. Highly recommend to anyone looking to prioritize their mental wellbeing

Hey Tommy, we're happy to hear that you're enjoying the app :)

App does not work.

This app opens to a main page that has the vast majority of content and activities, but is entirely unusable because nothing responds when tapped on. I assume the three other sections are journal, calendar, and profile. The calendar and profile tabs bring you to completely blank pages. The journal tab is the only other section that has content, although minimal (a short quote), but it does allow you to add a response to a traditional journal prompt. That is the only functioning part of this app. This app is clearly not finished.
