### 4/5 — Very nice!

*2016-07-12, version 1.0.4*

A simple and pretty interface that saves my entries and rewards me with points that I can use to decorate a virtual garden. I save my points and let my kids pick the animals that will go in the garden. I really like it!

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2016-06-04, version 1.0.1*

Beautifully designed app. Very thoughtful.

### 5/5 — I Love This App

*2016-06-04, version 1.0.1*

Although it is not a game like some people want I extremely enjoy this app and would suggest everyone gave it a go. It's rlly nice to look at my garden and see all of the nice things that have happened in my life. It makes me so much happier and rlly reflect on the day that just pasted in a interesting and unique way. Keep it up!!! ^-^

### 5/5 — Really beautiful

*2016-05-29, version 1.0.1*

This is a beautiful app, I get low a lot of the time and this makes me feel 10x better! 🌍☮

### 5/5 — So beautiful!

*2016-05-28, version 1.0.1*

This is a gorgeous app with mystical intriguing pages and fun quotes if you fill in three reasons for gratitude. Lovely to have an incentive to remember the best things of the day. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Lovely graphics.

*2016-05-28, version 1.0.1*

Very inspiring.

### 5/5 — -

*2016-05-27, version 1.0.1*

This is a lovely app.  Writing down each day what has made you happy is one of the best known ways to reinforce positive thoughts and banish depression.  This app makes it easy to get into good habits by rewarding you with a 'gratitude garden' and thought provoking quotations.  The best app of its kind.

### 5/5 — I love this little app

*2016-05-27, version 1.0.1*

I'd highly recommend this app. It's well designed, beautiful and a fun way to remember the positive things that happen to you every day.

### 5/5 — Brilliant and beautiful!

*2016-05-27, version 1.0.1*

This is a great idea for an app! 

You write down 3 things you're grateful for, get some points and start adding plants or animals into a beautifully designed garden. 

I'm a big fan of gratitude and its so great to finally find an app that is designed so beautifully for this purpose, and makes it into a little fun game too. 

I'm looking forward to being reminded to be grateful everyday. 

Thank you! :-)

### 1/5 — Great concept with major flaw

*2016-11-20, version 1.0.6*

Please work on this app so that all entries are saved. Currently 4 out 5 entries are deleted when I go to "calendar" to review.

### 3/5 — PJHOPEFLOATS

*2018-07-31, version 2.0.2*

I really enjoy this app, I’d love it if I could make entries throughout my day. It won’t save my entries unless I complete all 3.

### 3/5 — Good but could be better

*2018-02-02, version 2.0.2*

I really like the idea of this app. My problem is that I can’t go back and add comments for a previous day. I know that it supposed to let me do it but it doesn’t. I am using an iPhone seven with the latest upgrades. I also wish that the garden had revolving scenes with things to add. Having said all of that I do appreciate being able to Remember what I am grateful for.

### 3/5 — Bug needs sorting

*2017-03-31, version 1.0.7*

Lovely app, however I can no longer access the diary? Also very limiting as when you get to the end you have to start again from scratch which is kind of boring. The issue with having to write each day before midnight also needs addressing.

### 3/5 — This garden has a few weeds

*2016-09-16, version 1.0.6*

I really like the concept of this app. However, the execution needs some work. 
Pros: Love the daily reminder of previous entries. It has made me smile more than once. The artwork is nice and the suggestion cards are interesting.
Cons: I have had the app lose entries more than once. Finding and documenting what I want to record can be challenging some days. When I do the work only to have it disappear, it becomes frustrating. Also, the app gives the impression that one can edit previous entries. That is also hit or miss. Sometimes, it saves the update. Other times, it is gone after you leave the entry screen.

### 3/5 — Love it but...

*2016-06-05, version 1.0.1*

This is such a lovely app but it's so annoying that you have to record your entries by 23.59 or automatically get bumped to the following day! That means you get out of sync after 1 late night.... Would be so much better if you could override this! Otherwise it's a great idea!

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2019-10-02, version 2.0.2*

I like this app a lot! It’s the only gratitude journal that I’ve been able to keep up with. The problem is that it won’t let me make entries every night. I can do it like every other day. It will tell me that I made an entry that day when I didn’t. It could be that I do it after I get off work late sometimes and make entries after 12am. Other than that I like it’s great.

### 4/5 — Beautiful app

*2018-07-16, version 2.0.2*

Super helpful to have this- the visuals of the garden are great, really helped motivate me to make sure I wrote each day! Only would be SO much better if there were more gardens added as there’s currently only the one which gets filled fairly quickly.
Really lovely idea I’m glad I found it and often recommend to others!

### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2017-05-07, version 1.0.8*

This is a great app, and it does make you feel better, remembering what good things have happened, no matter how small. However, it is a shame you can only go so far before having to start again. I'd love to see more gardens added rather having to re-download.

Overall though for a free app, it's great and I would highly recommend.

### 4/5 — Needs a fix

*2016-07-24*

I love the app. Unfortunately the last update seems to have disabled the calendar so that when you tap on it the app closes instead of opening the calendar.  I couldn't reach app support elsewhere, so had to post this here.  Please fix.

### 5/5 — Start a gratitude practice

*2022-11-23, version 3.0*

Easy and fun way to implement a gratitude practice into daily life. The added gardens, and the written sayings add to the positive experience of remembering things to be grateful for. I have no idea why there are not more ratings for this app!

### 5/5 — Joe Byron

*2021-12-06, version 3.0*

It allowed me to express what I wanted to tell Joe Byron right now

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-03-22, version 3.0*

It really helps to remind me about the good things happened during the day, plus it makes me smile when I receive the notifications (you can decide if you want them) showing previous good things happened :) highly recommend.

PS I am having some troubles seeing the downloaded Sky garden and hope this can be possibly fixed.

### 5/5 — Feeling more thankful

*2018-10-14, version 2.0.2*

Three days in and I am really enjoying the app and how it makes me feel. Also curious to see how the garden will look as time goes on.

### 5/5 — Wonderful concept

*2018-06-02, version 2.0.2*

I love the reminders of happy moments in your day.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2017-09-26, version 1.0.8*

I'm absolutely in love with this app - really nice layout, easy to use and the "garden" is really pretty and soothing.

If you're looking for a positive, easy to use app to help remind you of the good things in your life, this is the app for you!

### 5/5 — Lovely!

*2017-09-22, version 1.0.8*

I love this app. It's intuitive, beautiful, soothing. And nurturing. Finally, a gratitude app that is a pleasure rather than a task. It has a quietly contemplative vibe and the garden is truly gorgeous and rewarding. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Helps me find gratitude in life

*2016-09-28, version 1.0.6*

I like this app it's done well and I enjoy the garden and the cards. I like the daily reminders. It helps me find gratitude in life. It helps me to retrain my brain to look for the good in life instead of the negative. Which brings happiness and peace.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2016-08-20, version 1.0.6*

I've only just got the App to replace my lost Gratitude Journal, and I'm already excited for tomorrow! It uses behavioural cues and addictive sounds and beautiful graphics, simple gamer software that works perfectly, to get you to feel super positive about your day. I'm really excited to see how this impacts my life, in a month's time!! Love that there are 3 things and the cards.. It's like all my favourite things in one spot!! Only thing I'd change would be a slightly brighter looking garden, but I guess it will brighten up as it grows!! Hooray!

### 5/5 — Cute Idea and Fun to Use!

*2016-06-08, version 1.0.1*

However, it could be a bit more User-Friendly. 
For example: Cannot locate and read what is already written.
