Wow! ### 5/5 — I like it so far *2024-12-08* I love how Glimmo organizes my thoughts and memories. The Collection feature makes it easy to look back on cherished moments whenever I want. ### 5/5 — Worth it! *2024-12-08* Really helps you get started with your journaling journey. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-12-08* My favorite journaling partner! ### 5/5 — Five Stars *2024-12-07, version 1.0.2* I enjoy tracking what I do and my thoughts. As I get older it’s a way for me to track my past. I love being reminded of what I did on this day in years past. ### 5/5 — THE BEST Journal App *2024-12-07* A MUST HAVE for Contemplative Living in the 21st century!! ### 5/5 — An exceptional app *2024-12-07* Glimmo’s engaging AI and insightful features have cọmpletely revamped how I journal, making each session a journey of self-discovery and creative expression. ### 5/5 — Finally, an App That Makes Journaling Fun! *2024-12-07, version 1.0.2* Seems like an innovative product, first of its kind🤩, glad to try it out. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-12-06* A must-have app for anyone who loves to journal! Glimmo has helped me stay consistent and made journaling a part of my daily routine. ### 5/5 — So fun and original! *2024-12-06* It doesn't try to shove premium down your throat, even if features are a bit limited without it (there are no insights unless you're a premium user), but I'm seriously considering premium. The thing where you journal like it's a social network and characters (or historical figures) reply to your "posts" is so fun! I recommend Barbie above anyone else, I'm really loving Emily and if you like games, Ethan is a must-have. Other than that, I'm slowly trying out new characters, so maybe I'll edit this in a few weeks with a bigger list! ### 5/5 — I'm totally in love with this app! *2024-11-28* I absolutely adore this app! 💖 It’s perfect for logging every detail of my life, from morning lattes to evening strolls. ☕️🍃 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Built Upon Lies *2026-01-09* Beta Users were promised Lifetime Premium accounts. However, we were then told that granting lifetime wasn't possible. Then, after a one-year granting of premium, ghosted via email, message, telegram, etc. Glad I took screenshots of the promises made. Maybe Apple will be interested in such abuses. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! This is due to the previous team's lack of maintenance. It'll be our honour to invite you back. If you like, please reach out to us through glimmo@zenai-lab.com for better understand what you need, thanks! ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2025-10-11, version 1.3.4* AI responses are in Chinese despite language set to English. Support email gets bounced back. ### 1/5 — Crashed the second I open the app *2025-03-19* Pretty much the title. I’m unable to use the app. :( **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! This is due to the previous team's lack of maintenance. It'll be our honour to invite you back to check it again. If you like, please reach out to us through glimmo@zenai-lab.com for 1-year subscription compensation ### 1/5 — Crashes Immediately *2025-02-28* Everytime I tried to open the app it immediately closed I didn’t even get to use it :( **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! This is due to the previous team's lack of maintenance. It'll be our honour to invite you back to check it again. If you like, please reach out to us through glimmo@zenai-lab.com for 1-year subscription compensation ### 1/5 — Best journal app *2025-01-16* Love the ai responses to my journal. Interactive and gives me more perspective like talking to a friend. Uplifting and motivating.it stopped responding to my entrees after 2 days. Is there limited on free. Also can’t delete journals Update I bought the lifetime package and it didn’t give me the ai response feature. Why not? That’s reason I bought it **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for any inconvenience you’re experiencing. Regarding the AI response, could you please retry to see if it works well now? If the issue continues, we’d appreciate it if you could report a bug within the app. We’re here to help. You can delete journal entries by going to the entry detail and tapping the option in the upper right corner, sorry it might be a bit hidden. If you have any more questions or need further help, feel free to let us know! ### 3/5 — Made a mistake *2026-04-01, version 1.3.7* Shouldn’t have gotten this app. Got it last year in the hopes that it’d help me journal better. The entire app is filled with bugs. Journal suggestion doesn’t suggest anything, the phone has phantom haptics as soon as I open the app, and the best one- cannot even report a bug or make a suggestion on the app despite there being a button. Do not purchase this. The AI companion part doesn’t feel good. Only for a day maybe. Feels way too computer-ish. Thought it’d be a natural conversation sorta thing. Anyway, I’d wish I could get a refund but I don’t think the makers are really looking out for its users. ### 3/5 — Best journal app *2024-12-22* Love the ai responses to my journal. Interactive and gives me more perspective like talking to a friend. Uplifting and motivating.it stopped responding to my entrees after 2 days. Is there limited on free. Also can’t delete journals ### 5/5 — Excellent app. *2026-06-21* Glimmo offers a unique (to me) take on the AI journal experience. The ability to design your own has been a fun an interesting way to collect and reflect on my thoughts. Job well done. ### 5/5 — App *2026-02-18* I LOVE this app it works so well and I got it yesterday I definitely recommend it to everyone who has interest in getting the app! ### 5/5 — Great journal *2025-02-21, version 1.3.2* Love this journal app! The AI replies are such a unique feature, it feels like a warm hug and validation without anyone reading your diary for real, and choosing your own companions is a lovely touch. The suggestions based on what you’ve recently listened to, photos you’ve taken etc are great for prompts too. The jar of emojis based on what you’ve written is super sweet. It would be nice to get some themes other than light and dark mode. I would say the premium is a tad expensive so haven’t committed myself to it but understand devs gotta make money. The free version is excellent too ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun and interactive journaling *2025-02-09* I really enjoy the responses the AI gives. There are several helpful journal types and interesting prompts. I like the emoji jar and magnets. It’s a fun safe way for me to record my life and work through stress. Talking to the AI is like talking to a friend. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-02-07* I have tried journaling in the past but have a hard time sticking to it. The AI feature is so cool. They respond to entries and you can interact which is fun. Mood tracker is great. Can’t wait to see how this app continues to evolve. ### 5/5 — My favorite journal app so far *2025-01-05* I’ve tried a bunch of self-help, self-care, and journaling apps, but this one really captured my attention immediately. It has a cute mascot with a polished aesthetic, plenty of prompts and templates to help you get started with journaling, and cute and clever emojis that go along with the content of your journal. The AI companions are also so fun and hilarious with their responses, and you can even create your own companion with the premium version! I feel motivated to come back and share my thoughts with my little AI friends regularly. 😂 ### 5/5 — Best journal app *2024-12-21* Love the ai responses to my journal. Interactive and gives me more perspective like talking to a friend. Uplifting and motivating. ### 5/5 — Favorite journaling app *2024-12-18, version 1.2.0* Layout and ease of use are top notch! ### 5/5 — This app is gold *2024-12-18* Amazing! As someone who hasn't journaled in years, I cannot stop going. I notice so many improvements to my life, thoughts and process. Highly recọmmend this app, it has benefits for anyone. ### 5/5 — Life changing bc it’s making memories *2024-12-18* Love this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
