It helped me when I was feeling scared but then it said you had to pay and I'm not allowed to pay for apps or stuff like that so I had to stop using it and ever since then I have been having a tough time. But if you can pay for it then this is an amazing app for you! 😍😊🙂😜🤩 ### 5/5 — bears is brill *2025-04-05, version 1.0.3* great app really helps if you need a place to vent to ### 5/5 — You guys are doing something special *2025-03-25* I’ve never felt so fondly of an app and I’ve only had it for a couple minutes. 😭 writing down in the journal mixed with the cute art work and stickers actually made me happier. I Love you guys ❤️ ### 5/5 — Finally Journalling *2025-03-11, version 1.0.3* This app was the perfect catalyst for me to start journalling again, and its cute motivational tone keeps me going. This app feels gentle and reminds me to be gentle to myself. ### 5/5 — Die beste app *2025-03-07* 5 sterne ### 2/5 — Amazing but flawed. *2025-02-15, version 1.0.3* A great app I use regularly, but I was planning to write about my problem with anxiety and how I faced it , when I was suddenly hit by a paywall. Considering the comfiness , disregarding my daily habit to write about my day was just crushed . Kind of disappointing there was a paywall. If there was a previous warning I feel like it would be acceptable for me , just kind of annoying to me :( Note: would be 5 stars for me and more/ but that suprise paywall just doesn’t make me want to use the app anymore . Sorry ### 4/5 — Tuesday and I’m good *2025-02-11, version 1.0.3* Well ### 4/5 — not unlimited *2025-02-04, version 1.0.3* Good but wish it was free ### 5/5 — great app *2025-02-01, version 1.0.3* love this app, its so cute. got me going on my mac more often, and also excited to write something everyday about myself and how im feeling. 10/10 recommend. i got my cousin to download, he loves it as well.. ### 5/5 — Cured my bad thoughts *2025-01-23, version 1.0.3* So dang good best app ever ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 更新系统后内容自己消失 可是我根本没有删 *2026-02-13* 更新了一下版本 五天的内容给我莫名其妙消失了！有没有人帮我恢复？icloud没上传 就是存在本地 ### 1/5 — It's not free *2025-03-29, version 1.0.3* My parents won't let me pay for it but I need it because I have bad mental health so please make it free. ### 1/5 — DELETING ASAP *2025-01-23* U CANT EVEN HAVE A SIMPLE APP IN 2025 ALWAYS NEEDING TO PAY MONEY NO I COULD JUST WRITE EVERYDAY IN MY NOTES APP IM NOT WASTING MY MONEY ON THIS IN THIS ECONOMY U COULD’VE JUST MADE IT FREE BUT THIS JUST SHOWS U DONT CARE ABOUT SOCIETY’S GRATITUDE AND ITS ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY. I WILL ONLY. HAVE THIS APP IF I CAN SUBMIT UNLIMITED ENTRIES. IF YOU MAKE IT UNLIMITED I’LL KEEP USING THIS OTHERWISE IM DELETING IT BECAUSE THERES LITERALLY NO POINT IN HAVING IT IT’S WORTHLESS NOW. Fine I might buy it Update I actually tried buying it and that led to my whole media and purchases account to get permanently disabled. Even after contacting apple support it’s still permanently disabled. ### 1/5 — Free app *2024-12-23, version 1.0.3* U get only a few entries then you have to pay Not worth it ### 1/5 — Bears *2024-11-11, version 1.0.3* I Love it.But I have to pay money.But if I gave you a five star will you don’t make me pay money ### 1/5 — booooo *2024-07-16, version 1.0.3* so so sad don’t download you can only put 3 entries before they force you to buy it so sadddd yall profitin off folks for mental health with some dang bears bruh ### 1/5 — Why does it force u to pay?! *2024-06-30, version 1.0.3* I don’t understand why an app like this would force you to pay. I had just recommended it to a friend because i found it was helping to jot and do gratitudes - but now after a while it is forcing me to pay?! like I understand there’s effort being put in for the stickers and art, but seriously? I know for me, i’d be a lot likelier to donate after a longer period of time. Or even maybe upgrade to some sort of premium version with premium features. But after a short period of time, no thanks. Guess i’m finding a new app to use… I’m really disappointed. ### 1/5 — Unable to use *2024-06-11, version 1.0.3* Writing can be difficult but some of the inspire me templates are useful but no way to add them to your own. It’s a great concept but functionality is basic. Do you really expect us to write from scratch with no automation or prompts, copy or paste or other? ### 1/5 — 不付费还不能用了？ *2023-01-24* 一共用了四次还是五次就开始收费，不付款还不能用了？？？那就卸载吧，反正也非刚需！ ### 1/5 — ....... *2022-12-02* why does everything need VIP??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-02-14, version 1.0.3* I love this app! It feels like a diary to me! I also like that you don’t have to be a certain age for this game! It works for all ages. (Maybe not 1-3) but still cool. Bonus, NO ADS!, ### 5/5 — beautiful & delightful app *2026-02-13, version 1.0.3* what a joy to use. the app design and color scheme are so playful & beautiful. i would’ve paid way more for this app than what it’s charging ### 5/5 — I’ve fallen in love. *2026-02-05, version 1.0.3* This year, I decided I should take care of my well-being and start venting into notes about some of the struggles in my life. Every time I make a little bear note, it feels like I’m finally letting go of all of these inhibitions I’ve held onto for so long and never expressed. I do recommend. Thank you so much bear-team. ### 5/5 — Cute and Fun!! *2026-01-11, version 1.0.3* This app is so cute and fun to use! I like all of the artwork and the inspire me button is helpful too! ### 5/5 — 能量满满的APP *2026-01-05, version 1.0.3* 可以随时记录～很好用 又很可爱 ### 5/5 — Favorite app *2026-01-05* I’ve had this with the unlimited version for 3 years and it has been such a fun and easy way to get into a habit of journaling. I think it was around $4 for the unlimited version and I feel that the purchase was definitely worth it. I have not had any problems with glitching as other people seem to have had. The illustrations are so cute and I like being able to attach awards to each day and the notifications are very helpful. All in all one of the best journal apps out there. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-11-12, version 1.0.3* I’m so glad I found this app it is not boring to write anymore. I love the pictures and the setting it gives. ### 5/5 — My review *2025-10-27* I really like this app. I helped me stay productive and journal everyday. It also encouraged me to work harder and see the positive side of life and not the negatives. ### 5/5 — The best app *2025-09-21, version 1.0.3* I LOVE THIS APP! There is no adds and its just so nice would def recommend ### 5/5 — Soothing & simple *2025-09-01* The art style is what draws me to the app initially, but end up, the friction in using it is what keeps me coming back. There’s no shortcut for bolding text, nor creating a bullet list. But man, everything is just so beautiful to the soul and it calms me down. Currently using this as a personal mood tracker & logbook for daily wins ~ we’ll see how it goes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
