## What is Happy Gratitude Journal?

We all want to be happy, but It’s not always easy to see the good things.

Sometimes, when it feels like things are not going well or getting better, your own negativity can drag you down.

It shouldn’t be this way, we are only on this earth for a short time.

Recently, I went through a dark period, nothing was going right for me and I was spiralling downwards.

A self help book I was reading suggested I write down one thing I was grateful for each day.  

So, I did. No matter how small, most days. When I checked my list in the morning, I started the day on a positive note.

More positive things happened in my life, so I kept going and now I see a lot more joy - even in the small things.

If you’d like to see more of the good things in your life, attract more positive people and be happier, follow these instructions:

1. Download and Install the app.
2. Add 10 of your favourite memories from your photos and explain why they made you happy.
3. Capture one thing that makes you happy each day. Look out for them, they are there.
4. Get a reminder each morning when you wake up, life is good.
5. Bring positivity into your life within a week.

Use the Happy Gratitude Journal for the next month at no cost. If it doesn’t make you happier don’t pay a single cent.

### 4/5 — What was premium for?

*2020-08-19, version 1.0.1*

There’s no way to add more photos beyond the initial 10.  That’s kind of the point.  I’m disappointed.  Unless I’ve missed something...

Edit: I’ve given the app four stars now that I have a better understanding of how it works! It’s simple and clean, and captures your memories nicely.  If there was an additional way to sort them, via hashtag or whatever, it’d be five stars!  

Sorry for the initial bad review!

**Developer response:** Hi Veestah, sorry about this misunderstanding.  

You can add photos (and with premium you can add as many as you want for as long as you want).

Just tap on a memory to open it, then tap the photo icon at the bottom. You can also add up to 10 photos at a time from the settings screen (scroll to the bottom and press “got lots of photos”)

Thanks for the feedback!  Well look into making this more obvious.

Kevin
