1st ever review--genuinely helpful

I have tried more journal and mood tracking apps than I would ever admit. They all fall short in some way--either too directive and workbook-like--or too open-ended or too cookie cutter--but Clearful hasn't been like that. The daily prompts and reflection prompts are able to get past my cynical self and into really journaling and reflecting on my life.

Clearful review

I love this app however. there’s a lot of futures not available on here because you have to pay for about half of it. But as far as that goes I’ve made a habit every single day to Journal.I used to write in journals but decided that the app would be more beneficial. That way I’m not wasting paper. It has made it easier to journal every day without forgetting.I like how they have different props and templates.So that it gives me ideas as to what to journal because.Sometimes I can’t think of things to journal. I like how it includes gratitude as well because.I like to do my gratitude every morning sometimes I’ll do it at night time as well.I like how they include templates with a mixture of both nights and daytime gratitude. I just absolutely love how the AI gives me a review of my week.It tells me my struggles but it also tells me the good things that had happened. It has really helped me find my identity. Also in accepting the things that went well and noticing the things that did not go well as well.I like how it gives me a little bit of insight.
