Great but with bugs

I really love this app. Been using it for years. However, my entries are constantly wiped for some reason and I have to keep starting over year after year.

Great app!

Such a cute app to remind you to practice gratitude! Absolutely love it! Simple to use and just insanely cute! Great job❤️

The Gift of the gratitude jar

I don’t always write reviews for apps, however when I use the Gratitude Jar, my spirits and joys are so high, it brought me to submit this. I love this app for documenting enjoyed moments, and even for brining friends together, where we go around the circle and log something we are grateful for. The best part, however, is not the optimism, the connections, but it’s when I am in a bad mood, I take a bit from my jar, and remember some of the wonderful things I have to be thankful for. Whole heartedly recommend this app.

Amazing app

It reminds me that I have so much to be grateful for even when I’m feeling down. me and my family get together every evening and talk about what we are grateful for and fill the jar!

Absolutely love it

I rarely leave app reviews, but this app deserves one.

I’ve been using Gratitude Jar for about 3 years now, off and on, and it’s genuinely one of the most meaningful apps on my phone.

The design is simple, calming, and intentional. Every time you add something you’re grateful for, a little star drops into the jar, and over time you literally watch it fill up with memories, blessings, small moments, answered prayers, funny things, hard-earned wins, all of it. It sounds simple, but it’s incredibly impactful.

My favorite feature is being able to shake the phone and have old gratitude entries randomly pop back up. Sometimes it reminds me of things I completely forgot about, and it instantly shifts my perspective.

I also love that it doesn’t feel overwhelming or overly complicated. It just quietly encourages you to slow down and notice the good in your life.

As someone who struggles with consistency sometimes, I appreciate that I can come back to it anytime without guilt. Even when I miss days or weeks, it still feels welcoming instead of stressful.

This app has genuinely helped me become more intentional about gratitude and mindset. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a simple but meaningful daily habit 🤍

Great!

Amazing app

Simple! Great App - thank you

Easy to use app with primarily free features. I love the ‘shake up jar’ that pulls up previous gratitude entries. It’s a great boost for when you need one! Everyone can benefit from practicing gratitude, & this app makes it easy for it to become a habit.

I like the app but…

There needs to be a way to add entries from previous days!

Easiest way to practice gratitude!

I love how simple this app is for me to practice gratitude everyday. I set a reminder every night before winding down for bed to look back on my day and find at least one thing to be grateful for. I love that you also have the freedom to write as much as you want as I like to get descriptive with my gratitude entries.

I would LOVE is they add a feature to add photos too for the gratitude entries. That would be so nice to look back on especially on difficult days

Makes Gratitude Journaling Easy!

I’ve tried to keep a gratitude journal for years, but I can never remember to keep it going for long before I sink back into negativity. This has made it a lot easier because I can put it on my home page and enter a grateful thought the moment it occurs. It also reminds me to be grateful more which is helping me keep from being so negative, which is tough when the world can be hard sometimes. I use the free version but will probably upgrade soon since I’m using it consistently enough. So this review is only for the free version.

Still disappointed

Okay after looking at similar apps, most have a limit on the number of entries you can make. So since this one doesn’t, I added a star back. But like I said before, a toggle button for that section would be really nice.

Disappointed
In app purchases added. Doesn’t take away anything from the free version that I can see, but the first update that actually changes anything in the app since I started using it being paid is disappointing. And frankly, the asking price is comical. And now there’s a little “Stats” section at the bottom and the reminder of it does the exact opposite of making me grateful. If that section could be toggled off for those of us that are never going to pay the insane asking price, the app would get a star back.

Pretty close to perfect
I love this app. It's cute, it's positive, and it's free!
My one issue is that I'm ADHD and I forget sometimes to write in journals/etc the day of. I was really sad that there's no way to add the gratitude for the day after the fact. Especially when I'll think of what I'm going to write when I'm away from my phone and then remember to write it at 12:01am. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I know the biggest point of it is to be grateful but I don't love losing my streak or the missed opportunity of more little stars in my jar. If this could be added, this app would be 5 stars for sure!

Love it!

I love this app. It’s easy to use. It has been extremely helpful on my gratitude journey.

Fonts ultra small inside message box

I can’t see what I’m writing on the app because the letter are too small :(

Really Sweet & Privacy Friendly App

Honestly, two days before the closing of 2025… something happened that I was sure was a horrible set back. As a Christian, I prayed about it, requesting for restoration from such a huge lost… and GOD gave me a huge miracle 5 days after the horror. It would have never happened had the negative situation NOT occurred. It’s one of those, give a man a fish, feed him for a day… teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime situations. I’m better now than I’ve ever been in my whole life… 1000% life changing… never turning back, remarkable truth.

Within me… I wanted to daily express my joy of what happened… somehow let out these daily bursts of joy. I had no outlet for my gratitude… you can only do so many audio recordings and/or talk about it with others.

This app is really simple. It doesn’t track really anything! Thus, privacy… privacy. And, it provides that outlet that I so desired and needed. Thank you guys for providing this outlet.

I’m Grateful for my Gratitude Jar! ✨✨✨

Plain and Simple: this app is more important than my banking apps, social media, etc! It’s giving me a fabulous and encouraging outlet to start my day / take a moment ANYTIME through my day to check in with myself and not allow the little important to pass me by! And as someone in recovery and truly revamping their life , it’s a GAMECHANGER!!! I’d love to be able to add photos too!

I appreciate having the ability to record the things I’m grateful for on the spot, and have the ability to reflect on the things I have been grateful for in the past.
I have been a supporter of this app for years and I recommend it to almost everyone I know!
