### 5/5 — Sweet Way to Log the Everyday

*2026-09-25*

I’ve been loving to jot down a small note in the evenings especially when I’m nursing my baby. It’s such a perfect way to remind yourself that everyday is worth remembering.

### 5/5 — Beautiful journaling app

*2026-09-23*

I’ve used various journaling apps throughout my life and Footnotes has trumped all of them with amazing design and simplicity. Easy capture and clean timeline view. Loving this app!

### 5/5 — Lovin It

*2026-09-22*

So far so good! Loving the accessibility and the easy usage. Thanks footnotes! My gratitude journaling just got that much easier

### 5/5 — Loving It!

*2026-09-22*

This app is so fun, it feels like social media without the social and all the media. It’s so cute too!

### 5/5 — Been waiting for this kind of journal for years

*2026-09-22*

I’ve always wanted something super complex yet thoughtfully designed. I love the font, the color schemes for the notebooks which is perfect for different kinds of vibes for each book, and the option to add a photo and audio note without it being too cluttered. This is amazing thank you so much

### 5/5 — Can I change time zone?

*2026-09-22*

I like the cozy design and colour palette. Just wondering how can I change the time zone? It’s not reflecting the system time even though I link w Apple account.

**Developer response:** oooh strange :O let us do a check on this! thank you for flagging 🐣

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2026-09-22*

What a lovely app, at least an app to keep my thoughts and glimmers organized! So nicely designed too!

**Developer response:** so happy to hear that youre keeping your thoughts and glimmers!  🐥🫰

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2026-09-21*

Love it so far! I’d love more customization and stickers and things. I love it though and have used it a bunch today.

**Developer response:** amazing 🫰 +1 on the customisation!

### 5/5 — So simple but so genius

*2026-09-21*

I’m happy this kind of app exists. I decided to do an IG break and this app is filling the habit of picking up my phone. It makes me feel like I’m living my life by writing what I’m thinking or experiencing, instead of viewing other people’s life. Great way to be present! 

They also helped me with a login bug very quickly! Congrats to the best new app!

**Developer response:** so so touched by your response. i think you really captured the essence of what we're hoping to bring with this app -- being present, intentional in your day to day. thank you for being here 🐥🫰

### 5/5 — love

*2026-09-21*

i’ve really liked this app so far! i feel like it’s a good reminder to slow down, and appreciate the little things❤️

**Developer response:** i love this, and i hope we've help bring little new joys to your life :)

### 5/5 — Loving the app!!

*2026-09-21*

Loving the app and the concept of it so far!!

Would love if it was possible to add the option of flipping the camera so i can use the front cam for taking selfies and such for my notes. Also, maybe an option to snap the pic with the volume button, like how the camera app does it. 

Just suggestions! But love the app tyty

**Developer response:** front cam coming soon 🐥 love the idea of snapping the pic with the volume button. jotted it down!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-09-21*

Amazing so far. So cute. We’re all always on our phone. So you might as well snap a photo and add a sentence or two. Life blurs together. This makes it so it doesn’t!

**Developer response:** exactly :) hoping footnotes can help folks be a little more intentional with our day to day 🫶

### 5/5 — Delightful!

*2026-09-21*

Delightful app! Just started using it yesterday and it’s such a fun way to take little notes about things on the go.

**Developer response:** we love to hear that 🫰 thank you for using our app and let us know if you have any feedback anytime ;)

### 5/5 — seamless, no frills, no distractions

*2026-09-21*

I’m an analog journaler and sketcher (even on the go) but I still like dabbling into mobile journaling options, and apple notes and the hobonichi app have too much friction. Footnotes is exactly what I wanted—quick access, loads fast, puts things in chronological order, and has a nonintrusive design. The input option allows you to do photo, text, and audio in one fell swoop, and the quick-note widget means I can bypass all distractions on the phone to make a multi-media note. If I could request any features, I would love an option to share notebooks. I made a multi-media apple note travel log once for someone who couldn’t make the trip and it was a fantastic way to share the experience, so a view-only share option would be lovely. I could also see a collaborator option being fun—making joint logs with friends across time zones, or a trip log with a partner. While I still prefer offline journaling, this will be my log-making app of choice when I need a mobile option.

### 5/5 — So beautifully simple

*2026-09-21*

Does exactly what it sets out to in a minimal way with zero distractions or sensation. My only wish is that they would add a reminder to log.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-09-21*

I am getting an error message when I try to log in.

**Developer response:** so sorry you had to experience this :( could you please dm us on insta/discord? we'd love to help get this fixed asap so you can use the app!! 🐣

### 4/5 — Exactly What I Need

*2026-10-09*

I love this little notebook idea!!! I’m obsessed with my notes app but as a creative, I love this aesthetically inspired notes option. This makes me stop, slow down, notice and quickly jot down creative thoughts. 

The ONLY thing that I haven’t really been able to green light is the fact that when I use the app for like 5-10 minutes (I write poetry and short pieces based on what I’m inspired by), my phone becomes a 1000 degree brick. So not sure what that’s because of but otherwise it’s cute!

### 4/5 — Good for journaling on the go

*2026-10-03*

Love this little app, the fact that you can take/insert photos, journal on the go, use voice notes! They get transcribed too!!

I’d love to see a more paper like/notebook feel in the future instead of a timeline, or an option to toggle between the two!

### 4/5 — What I had been waiting for!

*2026-09-22*

Loooooove this app. Love the simplicity of it, how easy it is. I do wish the autocorrect was part of this app or maybe idk how to turn it on but I type fast and have to go back and edit it. Love that I can take a picture right in the app or upload it. I love that I can have as many notebooks as possible!!!

**Developer response:** thank you 🐣 autocorrect coming back soon! 
update as of 27th: autocorrect is back~

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-09-21*

Phenomenal app. One minor inconvenience though is that it doesn’t appear auto correct works and the predictive text bar is gone in the app.

**Developer response:** thank you 🫶 we just added back on autocorrect + autosuggest!!! please give our new version a try :)

### 4/5 — Almost there!

*2026-09-21*

I love love love the simple organization system in this app for your notes :) I also really like that this note system is treated like a journal/diary where you can log audio files and pictures. These are already the most important features I need in a diary app! 

I'd love to see a few things added, if other users agree too!! bulletpoints and checkboxes! It would really help with the text formatting, I feel. But overall, I'll be using this app daily now!

### 5/5 — LOOOOOVE

*2026-10-09*

this is genuinely the best app i’ve ever downloaded, it has pretty much replaced social media for me and i feel like it has made me notice even more of the little things in life. apart from that it is very well made and you can tell that the people who made this up really care about it.

### 5/5 — Fun way to recap your day

*2026-10-08*

It’s a cute app to review your day! I wish we could add friends and see their feed!

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2026-10-03*

Love the app and I also love to write! Was wondering if maybe we get the option to also write and not just text! Besides that loving it

### 5/5 — minimalist UI, easy to use

*2026-10-01*

very user friendly, serves its purpose. hasn’t experienced any bug since its release. I can see using this for a long time.

## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — It’s my favourite app now!!

*2026-09-29*

It’s just what I was looking for! I do love journaling, but sometimes photos, voice notes, or a sense of proximity are something a notebook is lacking.
Thank you dearly. I love that different notebooks can have different themes too, it’s so pleasing to look at, and I love that all the voice notes are kept together as well.
I greatly appreciate that you made it without ads. It actually makes me want to support you on other platforms. The beauty is in the simplicity 🤍

### 5/5 — Modern simplicity

*2026-09-26*

I absolutely love this app! Discovered this through Jonathan Ogden’s Substack post and immediately downloaded it. I’ve been so tied down with instructions, processes, and complexities for years. This has given me a digital space that I can peacefully document my thoughts and bring out a creative side of me that has been suppressed for a long time. Organize them by observations and lyrical thoughts for example. It feels so good to have an app that doesn’t push anything or constantly see advertisements. Finding new ways to maximize the utilization of this app! Thank you to the creator and developers!

### 5/5 — LOVELY

*2026-09-26*

I love this app so much. It’s simple and very cute. I’ve been relatively keeping up with it which is hard for me to do with a lot of things like journaling, but it feels so easy doing it with this app. I feel like it would be really cool if they added a feature where we can change font and color of certain words, or just the text in general. Idk if this is possible but also maybe a music feature? Like applying a song to your entries. I just hope it doesn’t become a cash grab!

### 5/5 — Love it.

*2026-09-26*

When I saw them showcasing this app on Threads before its release, I ran to pre-download it. It’s such a lovely way to store your memories and small moments, and jot down your thoughts and feelings during them. Love how much they are listening to their community and making updates based on everyone’s feedback.

### 5/5 — Thank you so much for the app & the update!!

*2026-09-25*

I’ve been loving this app since its release five days ago! I had a couple of suggestions, and I was so happy to see that they’ve already been added in the latest update. Thank you!! The only feature I’d still love to see is the ability to archive notes, or maybe a trash folder with a “soft delete” option so notes can be recovered instead of being permanently deleted right away. Other than that, I absolutely love the app and how quickly you’ve been responding to feedback!

### 5/5 — just what i needed

*2026-09-25*

i’m not much of a social media user, so this app is everything to me! i love that i can pop in and record whatever i need to - small or significant. i’ve downloaded it for personal use but am excited to share it with friends and family. thank you so much for creating this beautiful app!
