Ad Banner??

I loved this app, but the ads are becoming unbearable. I watch the daily ads just about every day in order to get clovers for new themes. I’ve noticed they’ve gotten way longer these past few months and now require me to be interactive with them to finally close out of them and earn my reward. Whatever, I’ve dealt with it because it allows me to collect the themes. But now, the newest addition is that there’s a banner at the bottom of the screen with an ad at all times. Now the ads are even ruining the cutesy look of my monthly themes that I have to sit through ads to buy in the first place. If this continues I may be transitioning to a new day tracking app, which sucks because I’ve been a huge fan and daily user of this app for 2+ years.

Too many ads

I was okay with the ads until they became unbearably long. And now that they’ve added an ad banner at the bottom of the screen, it completely ruined the app for me.

Pretty good app but there are unwelcome changes…

I have been using this app since 2022 and currently have 392 days recorded in a row, so it is something that has become part of my daily routine and a helpful tool to track my mood over time.
I have noticed the app has gradually included more and more ads, to the point that a pop-up with a list of vendors appeared (something which had not happened for the 4 years of use). Now there are ad banners which ruin the aesthetic and affect the purpose of the app. It is a mindfulness and journaling app that is slowly becoming more profit-focused, and that just drives people away from it.

One complaint

I absolutely adore this app, its simplicity makes this one of the easiest journalling apps that I’ve found so far. I love being able to purchase different themes, and being able to change the theme for every month. My only complaint that I have, is only being allowed to upload 3 pictures per entry on the premium subscription. I feel as tho if I have paid for the premium content (mind you it’s $10 a month as well) I should be able to upload as many photos as I would like. I like to journal and add photos along the way and only being allowed to upload 3 is a bit of a hindrance to my journaling journey. However minus my one complaint, the overall app is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and very easy to use. I’ve found myself enjoying it.
However! Developers, take my one complaint into consideration and allow premium subscribers to upload more than just 3 pics an entry please.
