### 3/5 — Is it really free?

*2026-08-28, version 3.10.43*

When you first sign up, it appears that there is no way to continue with registration without opting into the optional “free trial” upgrade. I’m very leery of something that is designed to push a free trial that requires you to remember to cancel it or to respond to a reminder in time to prevent being charged.  So while the app appears to be designed to help others and has a heartfelt story behind the creator, the execution of pushing money money money first does not align. I was able to get around the screen. The only gave me the option to participate in the free premium version, but I also have 30 years of experience with technology.  So for less technically inclined people when you get to that screen, just close the app completely then go open it back up.

### 2/5 — Skilligan

*2026-08-28, version 3.10.43*

This app seemed like a good idea, but the constant interruptions trying to get me to pay for a premium features, brings my mood down rather than up

### 4/5 — Good App

*2026-08-27, version 3.10.43*

Just on day two of using but it’s nice to take a minute and think about what you’re grateful for!

### 5/5 — A Staple App!!

*2026-08-27, version 3.10.43*

i’ve absolutely loved this app since i found it!! it has taught me to be conscious of countless gifts that God continues to bless me with each day. it always brings me joy to see the great things happening in the lives of my friends as well!

### 3/5 — Deleting streaks and disappearing days

*2026-08-27, version 3.10.43*

I enjoy the app; however, I keep losing my streaks and some of the days I have completed get deleted. I think it might be if I do not skip through the pop up but I am not 100% sure. I did not have any problems for over 3 months so I am not sure what changed.

### 5/5 — So wholesome

*2026-08-26, version 3.10.43*

In a world where everything is so negative all the time it makes my heart smile to have a place where I can write and reflect on the positive and things that make me happy and love life . Even just the free version is amazing :)

### 5/5 — Highly recommend!

*2026-08-26, version 3.10.43*

What a great app, it is so many features whether you just want to jot down a couple things that you’re grateful for each day and keep a streak of doing that daily, or if you want to write more in a journal, share with other others, there’s so much to this app, the free version as well as the plus. It changes something inside you as you write down the things you’re grateful for. And I love that I can have the widget on my phone and daily it will give me things that I wrote down that I was grateful for from months ago.

### 5/5 — Great way to create new habits!

*2026-08-25, version 3.10.42*

This is such a great app! Not addicting but still has a nice accountability/social aspect. I love an easy reminder to create gratitude neuro-pathways! Great way to connect with family too

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2026-08-25, version 3.10.42*

I love this app more than I thought possible. It makes me focus on what really matters and the insights it provides from what I’ve written in a week are just beautiful. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great idea

*2026-08-25, version 3.10.43*

It’s nice to share gratitude with a circle of friends 😁

### 5/5 — Simple and Easy!

I love using this app to enforce a good habit. It’s really cool that you can see what other people are grateful for as well!

This app makes you reflect on the good things in your life.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-08-24, version 3.10.43*

This app makes you stop, think, and just exist in the moment. Helpful for noticing the positive things in life.

### 5/5 — AWSOME

*2026-08-23, version 3.10.42*

This is the best app ever. It reminds me to be grateful over the little things

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2026-08-23, version 3.10.42*

I have been dedicated to writing 3 things I’m grateful everyday for over 200 days straight! It is a great way to get my mind appreciating the good around me!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Trial

*2026-08-31, version 3.10.43*

Don’t accept the trial unless you’re prepared to pay.  They do not notify you when the trial is expiring.

### 1/5 — No card required bc they’re gonna charge your account automatically

*2026-08-26, version 3.10.43*

Nothing in life is free I guess

### 1/5 — Cool but free sucks

*2026-08-23, version 3.10.42*

They make free suck by forcing you to upgrade if you want to post a thing you just wrote or you have to save it as a draft and post the next day but I can’t find my drafts the next day and then it kills the streak too!

### 1/5 — Sneaky

*2026-08-22, version 3.10.43*

I tried using the app, and although the content is nice, it wouldn’t let me continue without agreeing to try “premium” for 3 days, which I clicked on… but then it signed me up for the whole year and charged me $50 that cannot be refunded - even through Apple. Very irritated by this gouge - not very “grateful”!

### 1/5 — Cashgrab

*2026-08-15, version 3.10.42*

I used to really like this app until they started hiding my older entries and refusing to show me unless I pay. One of the things I was most interested in was being able to look back on days and see my old entries/reflect!! Just another cash grab app hiding any and every possible feature they can behind an unnecessary paywall, I wouldn’t recommended

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-31, version 3.10.40*

They force you to sign up for a 7 day trial, and don’t make it easy to cancel the trial. Scamming you into a year long subscription. Shady behavior. Let people use the free version you jerks.

### 1/5 — Privacy/safety concerns

*2026-07-30, version 3.10.40*

Someone sent me a message stating they had a dog with the same exact name as my dog. I never shared my dogs name and they don’t have a name tag on their collar. I checked so many times to see where I messed up, but I can’t find it. I’m horrified and deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Scammed into joining

*2026-07-14, version 3.10.38*

Join or delete

### 1/5 — Poor customer service

*2026-07-03, version 3.10.38*

Had trial and cancelled within window but still charged. Reach out to support and they were rude and very unhelpful.

### 1/5 — Automatic premium subscription

*2026-06-26, version 3.10.37*

Don’t forget to cancel my friends or you’ll be out $50 for this junk

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — User Friendly

*2026-09-01, version 3.10.43*

The app is easy to use and supports my practice. The circle features are nice. There are some features that are not intuitive to all but I feel like they get there quickly. Very pleased with the shifts in my life after 100 days.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-08-31, version 3.10.43*

Fun fact: your brain can’t be anxious and grateful at the same time, so when you feel anxiety if you think of 2-3 things you are grateful for it will help calm you 
That is one of the reasons I love this app! And it is a fun way to share what makes you happy with your friends in a different way than texting

### 5/5 — Good app!

*2026-08-31, version 3.10.43*

So far so good. I added my family so I have two pages, one for my kids and I and one for my spouse and I. Seems very good at giving things to show gratitude for. :)

### 5/5 — Grounds me

*2026-08-31, version 3.10.43*

Even on my worst days when I sit down and open this app I am able to find 3 things to be thankful for. It allows me to slow down and remember it’s not all as bad as it seems.

### 5/5 — Review

### 5/5 — Grateful for this app!

*2026-08-28, version 3.10.43*

I absolutely love Gratitude. The reminders help me to remember to stop and think of what I’m grateful for, to count my blessings. Plus it is super cool to have a positive way to look over my year and see snippets of my life through gratitude and pictures. Plus I love being able to connect with my closest friends in our little gratitude group. ☺️

### 5/5 — Fabulous motivational tool
