### 1/5 — Misleading Charge

*2026-08-07, version 5.7.7*

Unfortunately I have been issued a £39.99 misleading charge for a subscription that was disguised as a two week trial. I have tried to request a refund via Apple but they have declined without giving clear reasons. Would appreciate assistance on this. Many thanks.

### 1/5 — Misleading Charge

*2026-07-11, version 5.7.3*

### 1/5 — Shame feature

*2026-06-01, version 5.6.8*

This app shames you for missing one day! I had 107 days of journaling, got sick, missed 1 day and this app brought my streak down to day 0, as if all those other days of journaling were nothing!!! Don’t like this app for that shaming feature! As if I’m a loser for not being able to journal everyday

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP

*2026-05-28, version 5.6.8*

I will contact the BBB, as I have never downloaded this app and now every time I delete it, it shows up back on my Home Screen every other day, unauthorized.

### 1/5 — App No Longer Fully Functional!

*2026-05-10, version 5.6.6*

No longer able to read posts which do not open when clicked on.

### 1/5 — Can’t delete 🫪

*2026-05-06, version 5.6.6*

I’ve deleted this app many times, and it keeps coming back. Every. Single. Day. I’m not sure how you could mess up so badly that your app is acting as a sort of virus, but I (and at least a few others) would really appreciate it if you’d make it your top priority to fix it. It’s a good app, sure, but not so good that I should be forced to have it downloaded… Do something about this. I beg.
Update: A month later, the app is still redownloading daily, even after a software update. I’m starting to loathe y’all at this point.

### 1/5 — Gratitude

*2026-04-25, version 5.6.5*

So confusing does not let you do little shows and takes up my storage

### 1/5 — App that won’t go away

*2026-04-21, version 5.6.3*

I have to delete this app every day because it will not go away. I deleted I come back a few hours later and it’s back on my screen. Sometimes I delete and the next day is back on my screen.

### 1/5 — Forcing a purchase

*2026-04-21, version 5.6.3*

My phone did an update the app is trying to force me to buy a plan to restore data (saved on my phone & the cloud)

### 1/5 — Can’t delete this app

*2026-04-17, version 5.6.2*

Every time I try and delete it it is back the next day. Never ever has that happened with any other app!
