User reviews

Highly recommend!

The app helps you move beyond simply recalling events and instead reflect on your achievements, lessons learned, and meaningful moments.

What I especially like is how naturally it leads you from reviewing the past year into setting intentions and plans for the next one - with greater clarity and focus. It has structure without feeling restrictive, and it feels more like a conversation with yourself than a typical goal-setting tool!

App not fully functional

I’ll start by saying I love their stuff. Been using the daily gratitude app journal for 10 years. That’s a better product than this. This app has three parts. Reflection. Intention for next year and insights. Insights is where you track progress on the first two sections. It’s vital and it’s not online yet. There is a notice that says well alert when it’s available. For a year journal and it being end of Jan that’s not ok. They launched the product too soon. It’s rushed.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback, and for being a long-time user of our 5 Minute Journal. That truly means a lot to us 💛 We’re happy to share that Insights is now live 🎉 We took a bit longer to ensure it works reliably based on your new year vision, but we understand the timing wasn’t ideal, and we’re sorry for that delay. We’d really appreciate it if you gave it a try now - and thank you again for helping us make the product better

Total scam and waste of money

It’s not a journal for the year, just some prompts that don’t take more than a couple of weeks to complete, and the insights section does not function at all. I want my money back.

Response from developer

If you have any thoughts or suggestions, we’d love to hear them - please feel free to reach out to us at apps@intelligentchange.com. We’re very responsive when it comes to improvements, and your feedback truly means a lot to us 💛

No functionality worst app I have ever bought

This app has no functionality at all. It markets itself as a journal for the year where in reality it asks you the same questions over and over in different ways. There is no use in filling it out (which takes hours btw) as once you do there is no way to review your answers or meaningful look at them or track them. I have been using the 5 minute journal for over 10 years and this is a disgrace to this company’s legacy. Total cash grab for releasing an unfinished product with no functionality

Don’t bother unless you have a ton of excess time to be able to use because you cant save your work.

Extremely disappointed. I had been looking for an app like this for a few years, so when I found it I happily paid the yearly subscription price since I’ve been using this company’s Productivity Planner for years. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to finish the initial set prompt’s, not from lack of trying bc I’ve tried over 10 times in the last 2 weeks. My problem with the app is that you aren’t given the option of saving your progress. Seriously who has the extra time to spend hours answering the prompts if you’re not able to save your progress through it? I know that I do not have hours of uninterrupted time to answer the amount of prompts given in the beginning of the app, especially while I’m taking 24 credits this semester, & working full time. If I was able to save the answers that I’ve already answered & then be able to come back to the app in an hour or a day later this would be an amazing tool to use, but since you aren’t given that option this subscription was a complete waste of money & a few hours I’ve already wasted & can not ever get back.

Hi, thank you for sharing this with us. We’re sorry for the frustration you experienced. You can complete the journal at your own pace - your answers are always saved automatically. We haven’t been able to reproduce this issue on our side yet, and your input could really help us understand what’s happening. Could you please share more details about the bug - a video would be very helpful. You can reach us at apps@intelligentchange.com.
