## What is Gratitude Rock Journal?

Record your positive thoughts of gratitude each day while experiencing the relaxing sounds and images of the ocean. Add pictures to express your day’s thoughts and feelings, read an inspirational quote of the day, and wirelessly backup or export as a web page all of your information.

A key component of the Law of Attraction is gratitude. Keeping a Gratitude Rock with you is a unique way to remind yourself to be thankful for all the good things in your life. This app helps you focus on things you are grateful for and will help to bring more of those things into your life and enrich your life.


FEATURES:

• Get in a relaxing mood by listening to the sounds of the ocean waves hitting the shore.

• Write multiple entries of your thoughts and feelings for each day in the journal.

• Easily go back and read your thoughts and view your pictures from any previous day by scrolling to a date.  Advance forward/backward through the daily entries by using the previous/next buttons.  Hold them down to auto advance.

• Perform a text search on your journal (Last 30 days, 90 days or all) to find important events from the past.

### 1/5 — Not working with latest iphone update!

*2020-09-22, version 4.1*

**Developer response:** Version 4.2 makes the app compatible with the latest version of iOS.

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2018-04-09, version 4.1*

Great product!

### 5/5 — Makes me grateful!

*2017-09-30, version 4.0*

This app is easy to use!. Very peaceful with the waves in the background!. Having it on my phone makes me take the time to write down things that I'm thankful for and see the "good in the world".

### 4/5 — Nice job updating

*2017-06-08, version 4.0*

Much much improved!  

Could still be a bit more improved. Doesn't look completely finished. 

However, developing a habit of noting things to be thankful for is priceless. I love it!

 Best wishes on all your hard Work!

**Developer response:** The app has been updated on June 6, 2017 and is now fully functional on the current version of iOS.

### 5/5 — The only stable gratitude app... and it's awesome!

*2016-10-20, version 3.0*

I have been using electronic gratitude apps for over five years. This one, is hands-down, the most stable and reliable app in the category. I have used other apps such as Gratitude!,  and my journal entries disappear when I do updates, which is counterproductive to being in the flow of gratitude! Gratitude Rock tech-support has always been quick to respond on the one or two occasions I have had a question. I would love to see the interface look even more simple, and to have the photos I take scroll across the top of the journal like "the other one".😉 But I still love love love this app! Thank you!!!!

### 5/5 — A simple yet fantastic app!

*2015-11-10, version 3.0*

I looked at a number of journaling apps and found this one. I like that I can set it to remind me to put in an entry each day and I also like that I can add photographs. The background soothing music is also very nice. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-06-29, version 3.0*

This is a great app! Love to use it. 
A few things I'd prefer on the current version: 1) when one taps the trash icon to have an 'are you sure you want to delete?' pop up as it's too easy to accidentally delete on any screen 2) preferred the old main screen to add a rock/new entry within an entry to tap one button (instead of now having to tap to see the list then tap to add entry.

### 3/5 — It's ok

*2014-11-29, version 3.0*

I just prefer the journals that allow more then 3 pics for each entry. So as long as you do not need space for pics, it will be a great app for you. The font size is good, etc. It is really a well done journal, I just need to find one that allows mire then 3 pics. So most likely, you will enjoy this app.
