### 5/5 — Very helpful app

*2026-02-11, version 1.40.0*

I’ve been journaling for over 10 years, and the act of writing a diary itself helps me find a deep sense of peace. More than using different journaling methods, what truly matters is being able to easily pour out my emotions and thoughts. In that sense, this app is very clean and straightforward

### 5/5 — 좋긴한데...

*2025-01-02, version 1.26.0*

영어만 지원되서 좀 어려움이 있구요.
피드백 버튼을 눌러도 아무 동작이 없네요
그치만 앱자체는 너무 좋네요

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-11-30, version 1.26.0*

This app has helped me vent when i couldn’t do it in person and helps me with any stress i have. I definitely recommend to anyone. A few things you could add is letting us draw how we feel. I love visual things and drawing. This could help a-lot of people. Besides this, this is a great app.❤️

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2024-01-05, version 1.26.0*

Great app and I love it. The one thing that I would change is that if you want to do more than one journal prompt a day, you have to pay money which doesn’t seem fair because journaling should be free because it’s important for everyone’s mental health to Journal. I recommended the app to my friends and the ones that I’ve used it feel the same great. overall, this app is great. Great aesthetic great everything. PS I would love to get some more information so please let me know.

### 1/5 — Download at your own risk !!!!Cancelled Months ago and still charged
