Best, Savannah ### 4/5 — Journaling is a great practice. I’m hesitant to use its features though; No Dependencies… *2025-07-23, version 2.0* Journaling Is a Good Practice, but I don’t feel like it’s genuine, when I allow AI to fill in the blanks. ### 5/5 — Halo *2025-07-17, version 1.6.8* Kari ### 4/5 — Habits tracker *2025-07-07, version 1.6.8* It does keep you thinking and your mind wondering like a child ### 5/5 — Mr Asad Toorawa *2025-07-01* Good form of vibes measured ### 5/5 — Really OTT thing to say but it saved my life *2025-06-14* I found this app randomly and I’m not even sure how now. I tried searching journal app again and it didn’t come up so I’m confused how it fell into my path. It must have been an angel giving me halo. I’ve never journaled before this app and also found it very daunting. For some reason on a really bad day I gave this app a chance. I liked how it was on my iPad and I could carry it around or even have it on my phone. I hated the thought of journaling on paper as my hand writing is terrible and I would probably make loads of spelling mistakes. So doing a daily entry was so easy for me. I also love that you can record your voice and leave little like voice memos. Sometimes I just use it to get stuff my head or rant. It’s become free therapy for me. It saved my life because the things I know now about myself could have been the difference between me being in more difficult and mentally draining situations and leading to me not changing. Thank you Halo for being apart of my journey of self discovery. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful and powerful message 💛 I'm incredibly moved to know that Halo has supported you on such a meaningful journey of self-discovery and healing. It’s an honor to be part of your daily routine and a safe space for your thoughts, especially on the tough days. I'm grateful you gave the app a chance, and inspired by your courage, reflection, and growth. Thank you for letting Halo be part of your story 🙏 Best, Savannah ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ho *2025-11-18, version 2.1.5* Ho ### 1/5 — hg *2025-09-24* vvh ### 1/5 — 没有简体中文 *2025-06-25* 作为一款在中国区上架的软件，全界面都是英文，你们开发团队觉得这对中国区用户来说，这合适吗？？？？如果没有简体中文，建议您们不要在中国区上架产品。 **Developer response:** Hi 路修远的未来, Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate you sharing your perspective.

I’m hesitant to use its features though; No Dependencies… *2026-07-26, version 2.3.3* Journaling Is a Good Practice, but I don’t feel like it’s genuine, when I allow AI to fill in the blanks. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — INSTAL THIS APP! *2026-08-24* It’s the best app to talk to an d I think everyone should use it if u have anxiety or depression it rly helps with ur emotions. ### 5/5 — Giving a 3 bc BUGS *2026-08-14, version 2.3.3* Erased all my data bc it wouldn’t accept my upgrade ### 5/5 — What I Have Been Looking For *2026-06-29* Out of all of the other mood journals out there, this is the one. You can answer as many Reflections as you want to in one day (if you want to) as well as add your custom mood and what you have been doing. Halo really makes you think the Reflections through. I have a request because I love this app and as this app has helped me so much.

Keep showing up for yourself 💜 Best, Savannah ### 5/5 — a brief intro/my two cents *2026-04-25, version 2.3.1* fun simple visially appealing aestheticly just fun/so many other apps just rolled into one ### 5/5 — Keep a good habitat *2026-03-02* The design is cozy and easy to write **Developer response:** Hi qonyli, Thanks for taking the time to share this with us! I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your experience with Halo. Best, Savannah ### 5/5 — The only digital journal I stuck to *2026-02-04* This app is super simple and it is because of that how easy it is to actually get your journaling done. Plus it’s kind of neat to see the metrics too. Even if you just pop in once daily to write 3 things your grateful for this app is worth it. And if you want to get deep and vent out your day it’s here or that too. However the prompts to follow when you don’t know what to write are where this app shows it’s best value. **Developer response:** Hi AWalkonlife, Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts, we appreciate it! I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the simplicity of the app and that it's a helpful tool on your inner journey. We're glad to have you in the community!
