So glad I am using it!!! ### 5/5 — Fantastically Simple & Elegant! *2023-01-01, version 1.2.2* I have tried many journaling and gratitude apps but keep coming back to this one, simplicity, reliability and elegance are impeccable! It does the job perfectly every time, it’s buttery smooth and has the few advanced options that are actually useful (export as CSV, biometric lock). On top of this, it’s basically fully functional for free and paid extras are a reasonable and affordable one time purchase! Perfect app! ### 5/5 — No frills, wonderful app & concept *2022-12-08, version 1.2.2* The concept is simple. Three things you’re grateful for today. There’s even prompts to start the gratitude juices flowing. Done consistently, research shows that gratitude and slowly improve the quality of your life by improving the thoughts in your head. Previously I was a pen and paper person for this. But dedication to the process meant I’d had to carry a notebook everywhere to record daily gratitudes. With this app the gratitude is always in the palm of my hand. I love that. There are other apps that do this. They will also do 6 other things at the same time. This app is just the gratitude. And that’s great for me bcz I don’t want the clutter in my brain of 5 other reasons I have to use an app. ### 5/5 — Very good app *2022-11-27, version 1.2.2* Best app to keep you motivated ### 5/5 — It’s delightful *2022-11-24, version 1.2.2* Good prompts help me recall what I’m grateful for and to practice gratitude daily. ### 5/5 — Simple and thoughtful *2022-11-22, version 1.2.2* This is the perfect way to end my day. Really appreciate the help with the ideas I love answering the questions. Would recommend it to others ### 5/5 — One of the best *2022-07-18, version 1.2.2* This is a fantastic gratitude app: it checks all the boxes of what I wanted: (1) Has reminders/notifications so I don’t forget; (2) Gives prompts - super helpful hints about what kinds of things you might be grateful for. So great when I am feeling tired and uninspired! (3) respects my privacy by not collecting data; (4) one-time paid option which I just like because it helps developers not have to sell my data. One thing I noticed a couple other apps have is the ability to record my location and a photo. That would be nice but I can live without it, especially since I like to write my gratitude journal at night. Also it would be cool if the app had a “How do you feel” question with maybe a chart. All-in-all though this is the best gratitude app I have found so far. ### 5/5 — WOW. *2022-04-26, version 1.2.2* I never write reviews— but I had to express my gratitude (ironic, right?) to the developer of this app. What a wonderfully designed application—from the calendar feature to the prompts and daily reminders—this app is the best thing I’ve found this year. Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Great App!!!! *2022-02-19, version 1.2.2* Even if you don’t make an entry everyday it reminds you think of 3 things you are grateful for…. I set up the alerts and it comes up in my watch and I always stop and have a quite think about my day so far!!! The quotes are ace too and shareable saveable 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 This is simple and ripper 💛 ### 5/5 — Check! *2022-01-18, version 1.2.2* An app to help you check in! A helpful app to have in the palm of your hand at the end of the day. Bc if you are holding your phone at 9:30 pm ..why not reflect? A simply diary that lets you take some time to think of yourself and the community you make up! ### 5/5 — Be Grateful *2021-12-21, version 1.1.5* Nice app to remind us to be grateful So many positive things happen in our lives, sometimes we need to pause, reflect, and be thankful... even on cloudy rainy days, there are still puddles to splash in...be thankful ### 5/5 — Great just what I was looking for *2021-12-10, version 1.1.4* I was after a simple app that would enable me to create a meaningful gratitude list that was easy to use ….Delightful is just the job I am so pleased with it. Hoping it will help easing the stress I tend to accumulate by being grateful for all I have . ### 5/5 — Engaging Easy to use *2021-12-06, version 1.1.4* This App is exactly what I was hoping. Easy to use and engaging. The holidays are a hard time of year for me. I feel this will help my attitude. ### 5/5 — So Easy *2021-06-16, version 1.1.4* This app is so easy. I love the simplicity of it. The prompts are great. One little pop up notification in the morning with the quote of the day and one gentle reminder in the evening to record your gratitude(s). ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update? :( *2026-02-23, version 2.0.1* Things have changed that are not convenient. Adding to daily entries without creating a new daily entry??? Why different? ### 1/5 — Crashes *2021-12-29, version 1.1.5* After the latest update it doesn’t work anymore (iPhone 5S). ### 2/5 — good but it suddenly stopped working *2025-10-08, version 1.4.1* everytime i load the app now, it’s just blank :/ ### 3/5 — basic app *2019-03-16, version 0.5.5* the app is easy to use as there is only single page for all entries.. however, it would be nice to create an account and have our infos saved up somewhere. i would also had more tip questions, ad reflection quotes etc ### 4/5 — Lovely Gratitude App *2025-06-05, version 1.4.1* I have been enjoying the Delightful app! It is very bare bones compared to some of the other gratitude journaling apps, but I love that! I like that you can turn suggestions on or off. I appreciate the daily question that asks for one to reflect on one’s self. The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is that I would like there to be the option to upload pictures. ### 4/5 — Amazing *2021-09-13, version 1.1.4* Amazing for using psychological principles and becoming happier. Creative questions that bring to light positivity that I had not remembered or enjoyed thoroughly. Recommend it to anyone who wants to reap the benefits of gratitude on mental health! (And physical, emotional, relational and spiritual) ### 4/5 — Simple and thoughtful *2020-06-08, version 1.1.3* I love how simple this is as a journal, provides prompts for me to start writing. The interface is intuitive and isn’t too messy. I do wish that there is a way to not have a gradient background or attach images to my entries but this does 99% of what I want it to do. ### 5/5 — Absolutely delightful *2026-03-05, version 2.0.2* I recently started using this again after a dormant period. Loving all new features and thoughtful questions. ### 5/5 — It works *2025-12-02, version 1.4.1* I’m a therapist as well as a person who is always seeking to support my own mental health and healing. The research is there and the proof is in the pudding- a gratitude practice will improve your wellbeing and your thought patterns. I absolutely love this app and am grateful to the creator for it being accessible and user friendly. I don’t need bells and whistles, I just need a simply, handy place to do my gratitude practice. Each day before bed I quickly jot down my 3 things and reflect on my gratitude. It’s great. Please don’t change it!! ### 5/5 — The best *2025-09-13, version 1.4.1* I downloaded so many gratitude apps and was very unimpressed with them all except this one. I am so grateful for this app!! ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — my life is better than i thought *2025-08-06, version 1.4.1* the daily quote widget is pretty aesthetic and inspiring too ### 5/5 — Delightful *2024-12-31, version 1.2.2* I give this app five stars because it helped me relieve all of my stress almost the minute I started it ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2024-03-09, version 1.2.2* I’ve tried a number of different gratitude, journals and apps, and this is the first one that I’ve actually stuck with. I really appreciate the lack of ads and micro transactions. Also, I really love the varying prompts every day. It’s much easier to answer specific questions about something to be grateful for rather than just a generic “ what are you grateful for?”. the ability to secure my data as well as exported means I’m not locked into this app if I ever need to change platforms too. ### 5/5 — Perfectly Sufficient *2024-01-11, version 1.2.2* I wanted something simple with the purpose of writing down three things I was grateful for daily. I love that this app does that completely free, and that there are prompts if I get stumped. ### 5/5 — App has been awesome so far *2023-07-26, version 1.2.2* Really appreciate the prompts! They give me inspiration and insight rather than just reciting the same things over and over. I love the reminders! I love the simplicity! Overall an awesome app! ### 5/5 — It’s delightful! *2023-07-06, version 1.2.2* Good user interface. Love the daily quotations as well ### 5/5 — Great! *2023-01-24, version 1.2.2* Oh yes I love this app! Started my day feeling flat. I love that I have questions to answer which make me search for optimism. Thank you 🧡 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
