### 4/5 — Great app, long time User

*2026-08-23, version 2026.8.5*

I’ve been using this app for about 4 years. The developer has made a lot of improvements since then. It’s a great way to quickly get your dreams documented and aggregated. Now it even shows you common themes and people. There is an AI analysis feature behind the pay wall that I’m considering. Overall a really solid app for journaling your dreams.

### 4/5 — Dream come true

*2026-07-06, version 2026.7.2*

Wherever I am I have a quick way to recite my dreams immediately so they aren’t forgotten! I’ve studied dream work for years and this app makes a perfect journal for group work or personal recording. Then the dreams remain accessible over time so that one can learn from patterns over time.

### 2/5 — Need Search Function

*2026-02-22, version 2026.2.11*

Have been using this app for years. The keyword feature is really odd and not all that usable. If we could search for keywords within dreams that would be great.

### 5/5 — Wonderful journal.

*2025-07-27, version 2025.3.15*

Good app for journaling dreams. However, I wish I could go back and add to the dream after I have saved it as I often remember more later. UPDATE: Developer got back to me. I now know how to add to the dream!

### 2/5 — Review

*2025-05-24, version 2025.3.15*

I’m out of time to pressed the wrong button after I’ve done it and it erases the whole thing

### 5/5 — Excellent!!!

*2025-05-20, version 2025.3.15*

Love this app. Been using it for many years

### 5/5 — amazing

*2025-05-10, version 2025.3.15*

this is freakin works

### 4/5 — Dream come true

*2025-03-19, version 2025.3.15*

### 2/5 — Dreams Missing - sometimes won’t let you read Apocalyptic Dreams

*2025-01-28, version 2023.6.19*

I’m missing many dreams that I KNOW I wrote down…can’t search for them or scroll to them… all were political dreams. Also prophetic dreams about natural disasters on the android app won’t let me click them. I can click any other dream but if it’s about an earthquake or tsunami…you can view it and the app force closes…..very suspicious

### 5/5 — easy to record my dreams

*2025-01-20, version 2023.6.19*

Having a voice-activated, dream recorder makes it so much easier for me to recall and record my dreams when I wake up.

### 5/5 — Love Dream Journaling App!

*2025-01-11, version 2023.6.19*

I’ve been using this app for over 5 years. I love how it categorizes as well as interprets the dream which is really impressive. I would highly recommend this dream journal app over any other one. I’ve tried others but this one is perfect. Hope this reviews helps you to record your night visions!

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2025-01-11, version 2023.6.19*

It’s a pretty good app, does what it’s designed to do. As a amateur full stack dev, it does feel a little bit homemade, but I doubt I could do much better. Only thing that I find really annoying is the fact that you have to pay to change your username. That should be a basic feature of any platform and should not be paywalled. So choose your username wisely and don’t make it something that people you know will recognise if you wanna make your dreams public.

### 5/5 — 👍

*2024-11-18, version 2023.6.19*

👍

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2024-10-13, version 2023.6.19*

I’ve been using this app for about 4 years now and it’s been great. I never spend money on apps but I did for this to get the AI generated pictures and interpretations which are for the most part pretty accurate and cool to see.

### 4/5 — really excellent

*2024-10-03, version 2023.6.19*

This app is so handy and the interface is so user-friendly. I use it to write down all my dreams.  I wish they hadn’t gotten ai involved and I dont believe you can do dream interpretation without knowing someone, so I took off a star for that.

### 5/5 — As a livid & lucid dreamer I LOVE THIS APP

*2024-09-07, version 2023.6.19*

As a avid writer & lucid dreamer I love using this. It’s basic but perfect.  It’s nice to help process my dreams later after writing them out.

### 2/5 — Kinda Meh || 5 Year User

*2024-08-05, version 2023.6.19*

I definitely liked this app at the start, but it seems like the updates that have been made are just mediocre or don’t contribute to the overall aesthetics of the app. I think it is time for me to call it quits with this one. It was certainly fun while it lasted, but I’ve since stopped recording my dreams, and the lack of interesting updates doesn’t encourage me to want to get back into it.

My goal from the very start was to increase my dream recall and learn how to lucid dream, but I’ve never been able to pull off the latter. The publicity of dreams on this all was certainly fun, but as I’ve some more experience in the online world, I feel a simple forum site would provide all I need and much more for a dream recording space. Thanks for providing a space for me in the start, but I feel that it is time for me to move on. 

OLD REVIEW:
I quite like this app, and even started paying for it as of the AI Interpretation update. There’s an AI Image update that I’m not so sure of and personally don’t like all that much (and we don’t have transparency as to where the AI was trained yet—which is annoying as an artist myself). I would love to see functions that enable hiding/showing AI generations for each of a users dreams, or at least a master switch that controls every dream from one user so we can choose whether we want to see interpretations and/or images. For example, I’d like a area in the settings where I can toggle a couple switches according to what interpretations or images I’d like to see, and what I’d like the public to be able to see. Ideally, there would be one switch for interpretations and one for images. If this was incorporated into the app, I would be very happy; these are definitely cool integrations, but not all of them are my favorite. Thanks for providing a cool app for keeping track of dreams and continuing to update it. This is one of my favorite journaling(?) apps because of it.

### 1/5 — Deleted Dreams

*2025-07-15, version 2025.3.15*

Used this app for years and now all of my dreams are suddenly gone.

### 1/5 — I can’t sign in

*2025-03-08, version 2023.6.19*

When I try to sign into the app it kept saying The data couldn't be read because it isn't in the correct format..

Please help.

### 1/5 — Serious privacy issues

*2024-08-10, version 2023.6.19*

App shares your dreams to other users automatically. Doesn’t let you change your user name without premium subscription. App should advise you to choose a user name that doesn’t disclose your identity.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2024-05-14, version 2023.6.19*

I used to love this app but now (on my macbook), every time I type in a dream, it randomly deletes the dream and closes the app and I have to start all over again.  Very frustrating and worth switching to another type of dream journal.  I mean - - incredibly frustrating.

### 1/5 — love this app but it crashes on the desktop all the time

*2024-03-18, version 2023.6.19*

i really appreciate the simple design. unfortanately on the desktop version it crashes every 2 minutes. can y'all fix this and i'll up the rating?

thank you!

### 1/5 — No more reality checks

*2022-06-11, version 2021.12.6*

I got this app because it had the option to alert to to do a reality check throughout the day. That option disappeared after an update.

### 1/5 — Pin doesn’t work

*2021-08-06, version 1.22.0*

I entered in a pin but now the app won’t accept the correct pin. Whenever I try to reset the pin, the email doesn’t go through. I tried contacting the developer because I want to have access to my saved dreams but heard nothing back. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — No mail received

*2021-05-02, version 1.22.0*

I actually really liked this app, but I tried to reset my password but haven’t gotten an email with my new code and my old one isn’t working anymore either. I’ve looked into my spam folder but it isn’t there either

### 1/5 — Do not use

*2020-08-19, version 1.18.0*

App works but publicly shares your journals on the internet. Contacted support and received no response!

### 1/5 — Won’t Let Me Sign Up

*2019-06-13, version 1.18.0*

I downloaded this app a few days earlier and tried signing up, but the screen only went on loading for some time and then had a pop-up saying “The network connection was lost.” The WiFi connection in my house was pretty weird that day though, so I thought it was just the WiFi signal having problems. I deleted the app and today I re-downloaded it to try again (this time the WiFi connection is normal), but the same thing keeps happening, even when I try it multiple times. I’m putting this review at one star so it can hopefully attract attention and get this bug fixed. Thanks!

*2026-04-19, version 2026.4.8*

You’re obligated to write a title for your dream. Besides this detail is perfect

### 5/5 — This app does it all

*2026-03-16, version 2026.3.14*

I love the ease and functionality of this particular dream journal. I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Love the update

*2026-02-28, version 2026.2.23*

### 5/5 — i love this app

### 5/5 — Very Good App

*2025-12-16, version 2025.9.6*

Dream Journal is an easier way to organize your dream journal. No more book by the bedside table.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2025-11-16, version 2025.9.6*

Great tool to help journal, interpret and understand your dreams.

### 5/5 — Simple but Amazing

*2025-10-14, version 2025.9.6*

I’ve been using this app for awhile. Its interface is very simple and basic. For me this is fine. It really feels like a notebook. The audio to text is pretty good and doesn’t require much editing if at all. What I am most impressed with the addition of AI dream interpretation. I’ve been exploring the dream world my whole life. I tend to be skeptical of dream interpretation because dreams are so personal and nuance. But this AI interpretation is AMAZING! Rich in its psychological analysis without relying too heavily on generic symbolism. I have yet to read an interpretation that felt wrong to me. And for the low monthly price, I feel this app is an important addition to anyone interests in understanding their dream life better

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-08-08, version 2025.3.15*

A really convenient app to write down your dreams and track them over time.
