Best app

I use this app every day to log all the little good things that happen to me. I then read them throughout the day. This app has changed my life.

Terrible app

Lost 20 months of detailed data this week and zero customer service: no reply to messages. 🤯 The contact form on website doesn’t work. 👎🏽 Would never trust an app like this again. I’ll write my entries in my iPhone notes app from now on. 😱📲

Simple, Effective, Works

Grateful is simple and effective. It does exactly what is needed in a gratitude journal. They don’t seem to have the one-off purchase option anymore but with an app this good Idon’t mind paying a small subscription.

Used to be good… then they changed their fee structure

I used and loved this app for many years after upgrading it with a one-time fee for life. Now, it’s been changed to monthly or yearly subscriptions and I cannot enter any more posts unless I upgrade again. I’ve sent a few emails to find out what’s going on, but no answer sadly.

Disappointed

I was a big fan of the app and bought it long ago. A recent update to the app does not allow me to restore my purchase and is pushing to subscription. I have tried to contact the customer service multiple times since August and have heard nothing. It is truly frustrating that everything is now subscription base and that they don't honor the purchases of the past. Unfortunately this is an app I will no longer use or recommend.
