### 4/5 — Super helpful

*2026-01-05, version 1.9.2*

The app is super helpful! It’s easy to navigate, journal dreams and search for repetitive themes. Not so great is the need to backup to Dropbox. I’ve lost many dreams due to my phone breaking down, so being able to do a phone or iCloud backup of the data would make this a 5 star review.

### 4/5 — Love it but you should add template function

*2025-11-05, version 1.9.2*

Great app. If you can add a custom template journal function it would be great.

### 5/5 — Review

*2025-08-12, version 1.9.2*

I love this I can now keep track of my crazy dreams and have a deep look at what they could all mean I love it

### 4/5 — .

*2025-08-08, version 1.9.2*

I havnt had it for more than a week but I rlly hope it will save all my dreams over the years so I can like come back and read them

### 5/5 — Completely free

*2025-04-01*

This app doesn’t have a “premium subscription” or any paid features. It’s a simple dream journal that gets the job done

### 5/5 — Great App For Recording Dreams

*2024-12-06, version 1.9.2*

I’d  been keeping a physical hand-written dream journal for years. But doing so was very disruptive of sleep, it was difficult to read my scribbled notes, and there was no practical way to find a specific dream later to analyze or detect patterns. This app solves all of those issues extremely well, especially when using voice to text, and has additional places for interpretation or analysis. You can also tag themes.,I’ve been using this for years now to record my dreams instead of the old fashioned way and it’s been really great.

### 5/5 — Hopefully new features will be added.

*2024-11-01, version 1.9.2*

It's easy to use, but I hope I can import pictures and record schematics easily. Pictures are also an important part of dreams.I really need  it 🫡

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2024-10-15, version 1.9.2*

I’ve always wanted to write my dreams out, now I can and keep the dates of when.

### 5/5 — My favorite dream journal app

*2023-06-27*

Over the years, I used this app regularly for journaling my dreams. 

- Protective passcode 
- Intuitive user interface 
- Quickly accessible to write down dream without details. Then, we can later add details like plot, people, theme, and follow up notes. 
- People names are saved for easy retrieval 
- Dreams are searchable by titles, people and theme.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2023-06-06, version 1.9.1*

I like ve this app. It is so easy to use and very convenient

### 5/5 — Best App! Because….

*2023-05-07, version 1.9.1*

The audio recording rocks!  Many nights or early mornings while still half asleep I pick up my phone and start speaking into it - my dreams or visions.  Later, when I look at my dreams, I’m impressed that your recording is as I spoke it, and there’s not a lot of editing that I have to do. This app is great because it’s not complicated, and yet has the important components that are essential to dream record keeping!!  I’ve had this App for 3 yrs & share it with others serious about recording their dreams.  It’s easy to edit & add dream interpretations to, that may come years later.  I highly recommend this App!  ❤️

### 5/5 — Been using for years

*2023-01-04, version 1.9.1*

Been using without issue for years, keeps getting better and better

### 5/5 — Works good for me! Been using it for years .

*2022-04-29, version 1.9.1*

Does everything I need for recording my dreams

### 5/5 — perfect!

*2022-02-06, version 1.9.1*

not the first dream keeping app ive tried, but by far the best. cute icon, free app, simple and easy as can be to use, works, has sharing and export options.

it’s great!

bravo to the dev!

probably would work fine for notes, recipes, and other stuff too.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Love This App

*2021-11-15, version 1.9.1*

Oh I love this app to record dreams. The layout is great and simple and I love the dreamy color combination. It’s very fitting.

### 4/5 — Really good but missing one thing

*2021-09-24, version 1.9.1*

I had use the app for a while before I gave up on Lucid dreaming, now I’m trying it again and it is still just as user-friendly as I remember. The only thing I really feel like it is missing is dark mode. When you wake up and you need to record a dream, the bright light in your face might wake you up which could make it harder to fall back to sleep. I feel like a dark mode would make it easier to stay sleepier, therefore making it easier to lucid dream. I would love to see this in a future update!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesnt do what i expected.

*2023-11-05, version 1.9.1*

Doesnt record an audio voice. I thought it did. You have to write it in which is difficult during the dark night - better just to use voice memos on i phone and go back to sleep and transcribe later. Not a good purchase for me. I thought i could voice record

### 1/5 — No voice record - misleading

*2015-04-12, version 1.5.5*

Recording only means "type" in this app. There is no voice recording. The first reviewer talks about using "diction to talk to text" implying that you can talk into this app and it will record your dream. Not possible! You can not record as in "talk and save" at all in this app. Beware!

### 1/5 — Misleading graphics and review

*2014-02-07, version 1.5.5*

I might've jumped before even trying the app but I saw that on the interface there is a plus sign with the word RECORD. I think great voice to text dictation not to the mention the first review shown talks about this function in the app. What a con.

### 3/5 — Great

*2026-05-31, version 1.9.2*

Perfect - one complaint-  Really bright at night. Wish they had dark mode 

And ways to share access to entire app

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2026-04-01, version 1.9.2*

Needs a dark theme!! It’s heinously bright in the middle of the night when trying to journal a quick dream. 
Otherwise, not bad. Simpler than other apps, which I like. But the white background might cause me to stop using it.

### 3/5 — Missing something that important

*2024-12-21, version 1.9.2*

An actual calendar view where you can see at a glance how many days you had a dream. It would be great if you could also filter the calendar with keywords

### 3/5 — Good App, But Updates Rare

*2019-01-12, version 1.7.1*

Good app format and tools, but there are rarely any updates. Whenever I’ve sent an update request for a specific feature to the , I’ve never received a response nor the feature requested.

### 3/5 — So far so good

*2015-05-09, version 1.5.5*

I've used it for a bit and it's great so far. However, it would be fantastic if, instead of Dropbox, it also could sync with iCloud. Developers: please make this happen!

### 3/5 — Like functionality, wish it had night screen

*2014-02-28, version 1.5.5*

Tagging and theme feature good for seeing trends. Email/backup functions are useful. Writing down dreams has helped with insomnia and getting a little deeper level of introspection when journaling thoughts.

It's harsh to use in a groggy state tho, even with screen brightness turned all the way down. Instead of a white background, maybe a black one "night mode", with light gray text would be easier to write wake up and write to.

### 3/5 — Nice

*2013-08-18, version 1.5.4*

A very good app to write dreams. Nice interface and easy to edit entries. Would be nice if there were more backup options then Dropbox.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2026-08-03, version 1.9.2*

It’s for free. No money involved 💕💕

### 5/5 — Easy to navigate

*2026-07-23, version 1.9.2*

Its a good app that helps me track my dreams.

### 5/5 — Love it!! Very user friendly and effective

*2026-06-20, version 1.9.2*

I I have have been using this app for over three years. I love it helps me keep all my dreams well written. I love being able to go back to it later. I know that I can share it with my friends.. I love it’s very easy to use.

### 5/5 — My Dream Keeper

*2026-04-18, version 1.9.2*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Dream keeper

*2026-03-29, version 1.9.2*

The app is perfect for dream recall. I even like how simple everything is to use.

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP, just one lil thing

*2026-03-15, version 1.9.2*

This is exactly what I was looking for!!!!! It's perfect!!!! It's simple to use, already labels the date and time, you have as much space as u need, and u can search ur dreams up! Now, I've only used this app once, cus I just got it, but I'm definitely going to be using it a lot more. Ok, the only thing that u don't rlly adore is how it's not full screen. I just wish it was full screen and not a mini screen on my screen. I'm not sure if it's because I'm using an iPad, but I just wish it was a full app. 

p. s. 
       Awesome app!!!!

### 5/5 — best app ever

*2026-02-02, version 1.9.2*

i’ve been a dedicated user for years. this is the BEST dream app ever. i love that you can add info like tags and people so searching is easy.

### 5/5 — The calendar

*2026-01-03, version 1.9.2*

Hi I think it would be nice if we had a choice of calendar format. Other than that it’s an awesome and simple app I love it.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-12-15, version 1.9.2*

What I like best about this app is its simplicity. When I’m groggy from sleep and want to record my dream before it fades, I simply open the app and it’s right there ready for me to start typing. Then I hit save, and that’s it. I can go back and edit, it keeps up with the date and time, and that’s it. No unneeded bells and whistles

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-12-06, version 1.9.2*

This app does exactly what I need it to do.  I can record my dreams the second I wake up.  I can edit the info so if it’s a recurring dream I can simply add the new date to it and then tally the number of time and the reason I think I had it.  I would recommend this app
