I have been looking for a very long time for a way to keep me consistent with journaling. I’m neurodivergent so starting and maintaining healthy habits can be quite the challenge. But this app makes it so simple to make it a habit. With reminders and prompts, situationally appropriate questions and follow up prompts, and the ability to keep responses as short or as long as you need or have time for. This app is wonderful!! Unless you have tight finances like I do. I debated on the number of starts to take off for this reason. I ultimately settled on docking only one. At the end of the day, if you can afford the subscription, it would be absolutely worth it and completely deserving of the price. ### 4/5 — It’s getting me through 2021 *2021-08-02, version 2.89.1* I purchased the subscription for the journals they provide to open you up about different aspects in your life. It quickly had turned into my own free writing journal that I mostly just rant in, but I use this app frequently throughout the week. I just think some of the questions are repetitive and not as deep as they could be but I appreciate the effort of providing sentence starters, articles and especially breathing exercises. This is the only app or way I have that reminds me to breathe. A suggestion I have that could be useful is providing a dark mode for users. Sometimes I’m up at 3 am in the dark needing to vent, and a dark mode for journaling on my iPad would match the vibe rather than an all white screen. ### 4/5 — Pretty Great *2021-06-08, version 2.82.0* I got this app a couple days ago and loving the concept. When I used to journal, I felt like I always had the tendency to only write when I was really upset. With Jour, I love how there are guided prompts to help steer me into a more positive outlook. It reminds me of headspace, but in a journal format! I usually am irked by apps that have a payment feature. However, Jour has a bunch of free features that doesn’t make you feel pressured to sign up right away. Once I’m more financially stable, I plan on subscribing. The only reason why I’m rating Jour as a 4-star is because there currently isn’t a Mac/Desktop app available. I personally prefer typing on my laptop and don’t like I’m only limited to using my phone. I’d love to refer this to my parents, however I know they wouldn’t use this at all since they don’t like being on their phones either. I’m hoping that a computer version of the app is released soon. ### 4/5 — Not Quite Right For Me *2021-05-21, version 2.79.1* I’m not really one for journaling or diaries. I find that trying to write a diary always makes things worse. Right now, I’m struggling a lot with depression, anxiety, and a lack of self confidence. I thoroughly read the reviews and everything and I’m not going to say this is bad, because this really depends on the person. I saw that it was more of a guide and normally, I would just rant to my best friend and check in with them about everything. But regardless, my depression has gotten worse and I was hoping something else would help. My first problem was that it asked about my relationship status and didn’t give the option of saying that “I’m a teenager who is more worried about getting through everything than relationship”, so I clicked single 5+ years. Second was that it required me to make a login. Now that’s not exactly a problem, but I was sort of hoping it would let me test it out first before I made a login. (I have made logins before, deleted the app, and then I had to block the app cause I still get its emails). Third was that I saw “seven days free”… which also was an off-putter. I don’t want to have to buy this when I already have the free option of a best friend I can talk about anything with. I can’t explore the app further without making a login and I’m not willing to do that. From what I’ve seen this is still an amazing app, but I personally don’t think it’s right for me. **Developer response:** Hi there, Thank you very much for your honest feedback & for taking the time to send it 💜 Please let us give you some context around our product 1. Relationships can be a great source of anxiety for many people, and asking our users' relationship status help us qualify their need and personalize their content recommendations. 2. We now require our users to sign up to secure their personal entries. Indeed, when sign up wasn't mandatory, we've had many cases of users who accidentally deleted the app and had lost their entire entries forever... Please feel free to reach out to support@jour.com if you need anything ✨ With care, Jour Team ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2020-12-10, version 2.56.1* This app is great. Very user friendly and nice design. I was never one to journal. I tried the old pen and notebook thing but I’d end up just staring at the page not knowing what to write. Guide journaling is more up my alley. There is a good selection of guided journals. You can also write your own entires too. As another reviewer mentioned, the prompts do get repetitive but I don’t mind it too much. Some questions do have more than one answer and depending on your mood the answer could be different. 2020 has brought on so much, and I was feeling very stressed and disconnected. I must say that journaling in general has helped but it’s having this guided journal that has helped me to start journaling in the first place. As for the cost, I tried the free version and really liked it so I ended up subscribing. But it was because I came across a 50% off sale. I figured I’d see how the year goes and at the end decide of I want to renew for $60. They do update often so we’ll see how this app progresses. So far I’m loving it! **Developer response:** Hi Jean, Thank you so much for your kind words, we're so glad to hear that Jour's helped you start your journaling practice and keep up with it! 💜 How are you liking your Premium Subscription so far? Feel free to reach out to support@jour.com to share your thoughts 💫 With care, Jour Team ### 5/5 — This is an app I seek out *2020-12-01, version 2.55.0* I struggle with anxiety and have now been using Jour for almost a year and have journaled over 300 times since I started. When I notice the panic rising, I stop take a few deep breathes and then use Jour to walk me though what’s really causing my anxiety. I have found it so helpful. But I do have one thing I wish was different. I have read a lot recently about how many people feel two things at the same time like overwhelmed and joyful or anxious and comfortable. I would love to see the emojis being one part and the words being a different part. I also feel like some days I want to remember it was an anxiety high day but it wasn’t a bad day so then I feel like it can be hard to say how I feel during the check-in. I try to remember that one moment in time doesn’t define my whole day. I can have anxious thoughts and still have had a day where I was grateful and joyful. Thanks for listening. **Developer response:** Hi there, Thank you so much for your review, it really means a lot to us to read that Jour's been helping you manage your anxiety for almost a year 💜 Please note that we've passed along your valuable feedback to the content & product teams! We’re always looking to make our journaling experience even better for our community of journalers. So if you have anything else you’d like us to know, please feel free to reach out again to support@jour.com. With care, Jour Team ### 5/5 — A light in my darkest moments *2020-10-24, version 2.49.2* I recently lost my grandfather who was my everything. My first loss and it really broke me. My depression began to swirl into not feeling successful and I had no outlet to even work through my grief. I then stumbled on this app. It asks you a few questions about what your stressors and how you’re feeling. You journal each day and it really prompts you to talk about what worries you and what weights you down. There are also guided journals and even week goals. This app has various methods of journaling that I’ve come to enjoy. I’ve used this app as a way to work through my grief and understand my emotions as I come to terms. I haven’t even had to purchase the subscription but I’m sure it’s outstanding. I’m so grateful for this app and what it has helped me through. Thank you so much. ### 5/5 — A Fantastic Mindful Approach to Journaling *2020-09-18, version 2.44.0* What a fantastic app! I have tried many journaling apps in the past, and have found none of them to be particularly motivating. Most are just a blank slate, and as journaling is not really my thing, I find it hard to get going in those. Some provide you with prompts, but I’ve never felt like the prompts got me anywhere. Jour is different. I’ve been struggling with serious depression, and the current pandemic and the California wildfires have made it increasingly difficult to handle my emotions in a healthy way. I’ve been clinging on for dear life. Just a single session with Jour and I found myself smiling, sitting here at my desk and thinking about how great it is to have a place to sit and write. I haven’t tried the paid features, and probably won’t be able to for budgeting reasons, but I’ve looked through the paid guided journals, and I must say for those who can fit it in, it looks spectacular. But even without the paid features, the app feels like a full-functioning CBT approach to journaling, and I love this first experience! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! We will keep making you happy! With care, Alan Mind Team ### 5/5 — Give it a try ♥️ *2020-08-02, version 2.37.2* I’m so grateful for this app. It’s an easily accessible, in depth, simple and stress free way to journal. I’ve tried pen & paper, various other apps, and traditional therapy in an attempt to process my thoughts and exercise a more productive mindset toward self growth and self love. The guided journals (and insights feature that follows) are like actual guides helping me along my constant journey to betterment. I can’t participate in counseling now, and this is a wonderful alternative for me at this time. It’ll surely be a game changer when used WITH therapy as well. After one week, I have a better understanding of my thought processes and needs. Jour has become an essential tool for me; I’ll keep it in my wellness toolbox as long as it’s up and running. ### 5/5 — Awesome App!!! *2020-07-13, version 2.34.0* I definitely agree with the person who said that even with the basic plan you can still get a lot of about this app I love how in the daily journaling section when you pick how are you feel it gives you different prompts depending on how you feel for example if you say that I’m feeling angry then tI will give you prompts about like what made you mad and that kind of stuff or if you feel anxious it would make you think about what kind of things you can do to make you relax and it’s not just like any old mindfulness have to ask the same questions every time I also have like how they have like different journals for different things so for example they have a dream journal where they talk about what you think your dreams could be telling you or a letter that you write to yourself for when you’re feeling angry and they have all sorts of things so yeah so I think that’s pretty amazing even though I don’t have the premium version which definitely unlocks a lot more features so if you want to get it then you should but for me I’m fine with a basic version it’s still pretty awesome and I’m pretty happy with it and I would totally recommend downloading it if you’re interested in journaling for the first time or if you’re just interested in journaling about your mental health in general so yeah I really enjoy this app and there wasn’t there would be nothing that I would change about it **Developer response:** Hi there, Thank you so so much for the kind words ✨ We're so glad to read all the details about your usage of Jour! We work closely with our journalers to make sure we're building the best journal possible and we'd like to invite you to join us as a Jour Ambassador. If you're interested, just email us at love@jour.com. We'd love to hear more and offer you some of our Ambassador perks! ✨ With care, Jour Team ### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing! *2020-05-22, version 2.27.1* This app is amazing, it has insights, tons of questions to prompt about your day, different plans to start, and specific topics to help you overcome the feels of any sort! If you’ve not journaled before (I hadn’t until I downloaded this app), then this is the absolute perfect app for you!! There’s even an introduction to journaling plan to help you along your way. There’s two different membership options, you can either stick with the basic, free version (which is what I have now), or you can upgrade to pay either monthly or yearly to unlock all of the plans and such. I’m seriously considering upgrading because this app is so amazing even just with the basics! I don’t feel as though I need to upgrade, I’d just like to support these developers and I’d love to take a look at more of the plans. I’ve been having trouble sleeping, but journaling on Jour has really helped me, and I wasn’t sure that it would make much of a difference. If you’re even considering buying this app I’d encourage you to do so! The art is beautifully soothing, and the moods to choose from are plentiful, I never feel as though I’ll have to settle for something close enough to what I’m feeling. If the developers read this review, thank you SO much for all the time you’ve invested into this app, it’s so helpful and amazing! ### 5/5 — AMAZING! *2020-04-15, version 2.21.1* Amazing app! Like the option to simply journal without going into a question prompted selection if you feel like simply journal something quickly. But I love the fact that you are prompted great thought processing questions which helps bring out many things you have on your mind that is troubling you now, and it can even bring up an issue or topic you may have forgotten about that you would like to work on now to release that burden. Journaling is extremely healthy for everyone emotionally mentally and spiritually! The options are endless with how you work on your emotional and mental health! It almost makes it fun, I find myself wanting to go into the app multiple Times a day because its fun to answer questions that get things moving in your head and heart. I’m excited to see my progress years down the road! I highly recommend this app to anyone and everyone! Nothing but good can come from this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lost 2+ Years of Data *2022-07-30, version 2.139.5* I thought I wrote a review already, but apparently I haven’t. I went back to the Jour app after not opening it for awhile only to find it rebranded as Alan Mind. The rebrand didn’t entirely bother me that much. I enjoyed the look and name of Jour, but whatever. What bothered me was the fact that after I was forced to create an account for Alan Mind and go through their long survey process, I lost 2+ years of journals that I was told would still be there after I created my account. Interestingly enough, the exact dates and times I wrote journals were kept, but not the actual text itself. Which I see has been a problem for multiple people now. I am devastated. Thankfully, I randomly decided to move all my journal entries elsewhere sometime last year. (Perhaps I saw this coming…) However, Jour/Alan Mind still had all my dream journals that I was keeping over the years. I am super into recording the dreams that I remember when I wake up, and I love (loved) going back to read them. I have now lost years of what were essentially memories to me. I cried for over an hour and immediately deleted the app. I will not be returning to use it, and I don’t recommend it as a long-term option for anyone else. ### 2/5 — Wishing I didn’t purchase the premium plan *2020-08-09, version 2.38.0* I love the UI and the intentions of this app. I’ve been using it for about 2 months, and shortly after I started, I doubled down and purchased the upgrade. At first, I was impressed... but after two weeks, I started to realize all of the prompts were repetitive, such as “who is a person that inspires you?” The Insights are really basic analytics that don’t allow you to dig deeper into the data, but you do see (basically) a word cloud of all your emotions over the week/month, etc. I think I just had higher expectations for functionality. I’ve still found some value from the app, but paying for a yearly subscription is a mistake that I will eventually have to forgive myself for purchasing. Meanwhile, I’ve found a more robust and (seemingly) more data driven journaling and CBT app that offers deeper insights, patterns and analytics that are based on entries, moods, thoughts, behaviors. So, if you’re looking for something a little lighter and fluffier (nothing wrong with that!), check out Jour for a couple months before paying. If you’re looking for something to provide data, actions, insights, exercises, fresh journaling prompts, etc. I recommend taking the app CBT Companion for a test drive, too. Either way, lesson learned. I don’t need to pay money for something that is shiny, beautiful and new, until I kick the tires a bit and taken it for a test drive. Just food for thought. **Developer response:** Hi there, We're sorry to hear that Jour didn't meet your expectations. We're always looking to improve Jour for our journalers and release updates to the app every week. We've noted your feedback and will be sure we take it into consideration for upcoming improvements. We hope you'll check back again in the near future to see how we've improved! In the meantime, you can always send feedback to support@jour.com. With care, Jour Team ### 2/5 — Annual fee *2020-04-26, version 2.23.0* So I’m used to journaling in the note section of my phone which seems to work for me.m, but I wanted to try something new and esthetically pleasing to the eye. I wanted to be able to include more things in my journal such as tasking how I feel, daily goals to achieve and so on. So I discovered this app and the reviews were amazing. Any issues that users had them team responded and fixed it or put it into discussion. My issue is not knowing up front that there’s a $60 annual fee to express yourself. And I understand that you have to invest in yourself and your well being, but if I was someone who couldn’t afford an annual fee that would be hurtful for someone that’s trying to work on themselves. I know fees can’t be removed, but putting it into the apps description would be helpful. I’m still debating on if I want to pay for the same thing I already do. If I decide to purchase the subscription, I’ll come back with an update. ### 2/5 — Felt Duped Into Purchasing Premium *2020-04-21, version 2.22.2* I downloaded this app and was really enjoying my first day with it. I wrote several entries and was enjoying the powerful prompts. While I was searching for my very first entry, which has still seemingly disappeared, I found myself prompted to purchase the Premium version, of which I was previously unaware. I seemed unable to move out of that section until I either agreed or disagreed to purchase. Afraid I’d lose my whole day’s work, I reluctantly agreed to buy Premium. It seemed to me the purchase was required in order to access my previous entries and continue using the app. Upon further investigation, I see that’s not the case. It seems that there is definitely a simpler daily version vs. the premium version. I don’t know why I was prompted to make the upgrade in a way that made it seem as though I either had to buy, or lose my work. Perhaps it was a momentary glitch, but I definitely feel a little duped out of what I had hoped would be a very positive experience. ### 2/5 — I Wanted to Love Jour... *2019-07-01, version 1.2.1* Unfortunately, it didn’t love me. My first impressions were great. It’s free, has a great layout, and the guided journaling prompts were interesting. Then, I discovered the app has limited functionality with my Bluetooth keyboard. I couldn’t proceed to the next prompt in a guided journal without turning off the keyboard, then clicking the next arrow that wouldn’t appear otherwise. This was mildly annoying, but I decided I could deal with this. After all, I mostly wanted the app for my own, long-winded personal entries. However, after creating said entries, I found I couldn’t access any of them again after saving them. Whenever I tried to open an older entry, the app would crash — every time. I updated my iOS, reinstalled the app multiple times, created new entries to test, and even tested from my iPhone. Without fail, Jour would completely shut down, so the very important journal entry that I needed is entirely lost. Again, I really, really wanted to like Jour, and I did, for about two hours. If you’re the sort of person who like worthless free writing or the guided journaling (which, remarkably, I can still read if I want), then Jour might work for you. If you’re a serious writer who wants to input a lot of content and read it later, stick to a word processor or, better yet, pen and paper. ### 3/5 — Cool app, but some room for improvement *2020-10-26, version 2.49.2* This is a well designed app, no way around that. I love guided journals, and this one is put together nicely. However, two main critiques: 1. There are a lot of typos. And by a lot, I mean I found 7 within the first 3-5 minutes of using the app. And I’m still finding typos in content with subsequent uses of the app. If that little care is put into content and copy, it makes me a little wary of trusting the quality of the CBT content of the app. Also not what I would expect from a $60/year app. 2. The app developer *really* wants $60 up front from you, and it shows. The only subscription option in the app after a 7 day free trial is a $60 1 year subscription. There’s a back door way to purchase a month by month subscription before you go to cancel the free trial. But the practice felt disingenuous enough to me that I canceled outright rather than switched to a monthly subscription. ### 3/5 — Great app but needs improvement *2020-08-25, version 2.41.0* I love the style of this app and it’s functionality. Most of the journals are really good, and it seems the developers work hard at improving the app (this makes me feel more comfortable with investing in it long term), but I don’t like direction some of the guided journals take me in. For instance, sometimes if I say I’m not feeling well it will ask me to list things I’m grateful for, or if I’m afraid it will ask me to look around at my environment and identify what makes me feel more relaxed. This takes me away from the upset, instead of guiding me to resolve it. Gratitude is a great practice, but if you don’t resolve the upset/uncomfortable feelings, this could be used to just numb out and only feel temporary relief by getting you to focus on something else. This app could be a very powerful tool for introspection and resolving upsets (and in some cases it is). I just notice some of them are a home run and some of them leave me hanging. ### 3/5 — Great app!! I wish there was more to it though *2019-03-09, version 1.0.8* I really like this journaling app because the prompts ask me to focus on things that remind me who I am as a person. I’m going through a self-discovery phase and this app is really helping me rediscover who I am. Critiques/suggestions: Can we have a “my profile” page? It would be really nice to be able to have one page where all the entries are, instead of having them on multiple pages. It would also be nice to have an option to reorganize the app, or even just the personalized “my profile” page, in a way that suits each individual best. It would be really cool to be able to have a “book mode” as well. To be able to design a cover and have a page for each day. It would also be extremely neat to be able to customize each page with different layouts, colors, fonts, etc. I LOVE the aesthetic and color themes of the app. Maybe have an option to add pictures at well! ### 4/5 — The best journal app, just wish we could access on a desktop! *2023-01-23, version 2.161.0* Even with the free version, like many others may have noted in their reviews, you still get interactive ways to journal. This is *thee* journal app that I’ve stuck with the longest and has helped me relieve stress and practice gratitude. Many months ago last year I contacted Alan Mind to see if they were going to offer an online version as well because I was interested in journaling via a laptop/desktop when I don’t feel like typing on my phone. I received a response fairly quickly letting me know a desktop version is in the works, but did not receive a release date. So still waiting eagerly and patiently on that! Once that happens though, Alan Mind will definitely be 5 stars to me! ### 4/5 — Love the app, wish there were more customization options *2021-12-21, version 2.110.1* I have used this app for quite a while and genuinely love it! I have found the discussion questions to be creative and leading in my reflections, and I recommend this app for anyone looking for a good journal, even with just the unpaid version. However, sometimes on the daily reflection, the categories I am offered don’t reflect how my day went. I wish that there were options for custom emotions or categories, or some way to add tags to our journals to make them more personal and accurate. Sometimes the adjectives provided in the daily reflection don’t have options that relate to my day, which feels limiting and I just close the app and think “nevermind” because I don’t resonate with the options provided. Other than that one gripe, I do truly love this app. I am a premium user of over a year, and I have definitely discovered myself more and have found that you get back what you’re willing to put into your reflection sessions. Sometimes the questions seem juvenile at first tbh, but when I play along I often find some depth that I didn’t expect. **Developer response:** Hi there, Thank you so much for your feedback, we'll definitively take it into account 💜 Please feel free to reach out to support@jour.com if you have any questions or if you'd like to give more details about what you feel is missing from the Daily Journal options ✨ With care, Alan Mind Team ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app <3 *2022-01-05, version 2.110.1* Hello, so this app is really helpful to me at least because i can let someone know how im feeling and i can just pick what it making me feel this way. I dont know but I feel so calm after i say how i feel like if it a friend to me. im also doing this because im doing a weight loss journey but also a more calmer state like to not be so stress. I really love this and hopefully i make it through my goals, this app will help me through it ❤️🌷 thank you so much guys for making this app I dont know what i would do without it 🌸 another edit: but i think there should be some changes like to be able to access some of the articles because some people might wanna know what alan mind has to say and you have to pay just saying but you never know what somebody is going through and wanna find theirselves or learn. But still good for checking up on us ✨✨ ### 5/5 — I need this in my life. *2021-12-10, version 2.109.0* I have never felt like I actually have a chance to change so many things in my life. Ever. Until just now. Only thing, is I can’t afford it. So that just got blown through the roof. Might as well go ahead and end my trial. I don’t want to get even more excited about it when it isn’t even possible. Man, this could be really beneficial to… not just me BUT MOST EVERYONE! I just got news that my child can not come back to school until she has some serious progress with being able to stay seated at her desk. She will be 4 years old next month and has been affected so negatively by this pandemic, as well as our whole family. It has broke us down. Anyways I said all of that to say.. I really would love to be able to use this app more than 7 days. It seems so helpful. I’m so bummed about knowing that after 7 days it will be ended. I wish they accepted insurance. **Developer response:** Hi there, Thank you so much for your feedback, it really means the world to us 💜 We're so so glad to hear that Alan Mind's been helping you. Please feel free to reach out to support@jour.com if you need anything ✨ With care, Alan Mind Team ### 5/5 — Literally curing my depression *2021-12-05, version 2.108.0* So I recently downloaded 10 different self-care/routine tracker apps to try them all out and see if I liked one. I quickly realized that all of these apps require premium subscriptions to enjoy their best features. I went through all of the free access features on each app and wasn’t satisfied with any of them. Last up, this app. I went through all of the free access prompts. I loved the process! & genuinely felt happier after completing my first entry! & then I subscribed — even though I never subscribe to anything. The premium features are worth the money and are honestly so well priced, because you are literally receiving therapy and healing! Anyways, coming from an unbiased and slightly depressed & anxious gal, this app has really helped me. I love the design & the techniques used & just wanted to show my support by leaving an honest review (: Thank you for coming to my TED Talk <3 **Developer response:** Hi youngsster, Thank you so much for your feedback, it really means the world to us 💜 We're so so glad to hear that Alan Mind's been helping you a lot! Please feel free to reach out to support@jour.com if you need anything ✨ With care, Alan Mind Team ### 5/5 — This app is absolutely amazing *2021-10-22, version 2.101.1* Pros: I sorta doubted this at first, but it became quickly my favorite app. I can journal and have so many prompts to get me started which is my biggest struggle. I love the music, so much sometimes I use that while driving! I love being reminded to journal as another thing I tend to forget. The prompts of how to even start a sentence are helpful too. I feel really good after I journal...some days I have a lot to say and some days I barely can compile words. Not all days are equal. I appreciate the feeling logs and goes from there by asking what could cause these feelings. Cons: I wish the music would shuffle and not start at the same spot everytime. Also, I wish that we would get the same type of trial period as referrals did. That did disappoint me a bit seeing if I referred someone they got 30 days and I got like 3 or 7(cant remember) when I signed up for something. ### 5/5 — Motivated *2021-05-13, version 2.78.0* I don’t ever and I mean ever write reviews, but I felt I had to let you know what a wonderful job you did at creating this app. I’ve only been using it for a month and I’ve looked high and low for guided journals. I love journals but I don’t like using a physical Journal anymore so having it at my finger tips are amazing. I love the different journals entries you can do with the what’s going on in your life because it asks questions that you normally wouldn’t think about which has prompted me into thinking about my own business and goals more!! I love the guided breathing, I do wish there was a way I can do it with my eyes clothes with some sort of vibration or sounds (not voices) to prompt your inhale and exhales but other than that the focus on the circles do help me to zone so that’s not a big deal!! So with all my rambling I just want to say, kudos, job well done!! Keep up the amazing work and I’ve shared this app with all my family and friends!!! See about putting some more entrepreneur types journals or creative mind type journals in the catalog. Just a suggestion.

And even the journal was great! It was based on what I put in I honestly LOVED it SO MUCH here is a example of how great it is ,think of the greatest thing you know but imagine it 1 MILLION times better and that is how good this game is.

It really helped me get through a depressive stage that I was going through. It’s the perfect outlet to jus get out all of ur thoughts and it helps guide you with unique questions everyday. When you finish with your rant it gives you actually useful advice that is somehow just what you need to hear. It’s based completely off of what you have to say and I don’t understand it but it saved my relationship by showing me I was self sabotaging, it helped me open up and communicate more, and even helped me on the good days by motivating me to get my stuff done for the day. Overall it’s an amazing app and you definitely don’t need the paid version. It’s some kind of dark magic I swear. ### 5/5 — Never thought it could work for me *2021-01-08, version 2.60.0* I am not big on showing my personal emotions, let alone explicitly sharing them with someone. As a result, I sometimes have a hard time cooling down and simply understanding where I stand on many topics bugging me all day long. Keeping everything inside is not sustainable, you have to vent and release the pressure at some point and this is exactly what Jour has helped me with. When things gets blurry (pretty much every day) I take 5 min on Jour to sit down, follow the prompts guiding you through identifying how and why you are feeling a certain way. It takes a ridiculously little amount of time, allows me to shed the light on what really is the issue and also what is actually going very well in my life. I always feel better afterwards. My 5 min routine with Jour always make me focus on the positive and set me up to tackle the bad things with a constructive mindset. I love it. ### 5/5 — 100% Most Loved Journaling App *2021-01-06, version 2.60.0* Jour is an amazing app with an extremely caring team working behind it to listen to its users and, at its core, battle mental illness. As a longtime journaler myself, having a digital journaling app really changed the game for me when it came to personalized questions, reminders, and on-the-go reflections. The app itself is beautifully designed, easy to navigate, and just simple to use. I have become more self-aware and in control of my emotions and thoughts because of daily journaling. This app offers so many great features from guided therapeutic journaling to personal insights to breath work, and it is always improving with every update. I love Jour and would highly recommend everyone to try it out! Thank you Jour team for your fabulous work!!! ### 5/5 — OMG I love this app *2020-12-23, version 2.58.0* This is the best journal app I have ever got. When I first got the app I put in a review and made a suggestion for changes that I think should be made. And I suggested they should get rid of the membership because a great app and many people would love it and some people can’t afford it so it would be great for it to be all free. Within a few minutes of me posting that message to them, the answered. And better yet it was not a automatic feedback it was a real person that had typed it and it was written very good. If I were you and thinking about getting this app I would definitely get it I think it is great and I will most likely never delete it. Thank you so much Jour I love this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
