### 4/5 — Good but…

*2025-11-30*

I bought this app in order to have the Dig Deeper journal prompts for journaling in my own physical journals.  I use a favorite notebook for journaling that works well with my fountain pens, so I did not want the Dig Deeper physical journal.  I was very happy to find that ITO had this app.  The issue I have with the app is that it seems that in order to move ahead in the journal, you have to journal each day in the app.  We should be given the option to move forward without having to put input into the daily journal pages of this app.  Maybe just add a checkbox?  If we had that ability, I would give this app 5 stars.

### 1/5 — I want to use this app but I can’t

*2025-09-16*

I’d like to give this app a 5 star rating, but like other reviewers, the app stopped working properly after 3 days- it won’t advance to the next writing prompt and won’t save the prompt I’ve just finished. With no answers back from any of the support email contacts, what’s a customer to do? Come on, ITO, you can do better than that!

### 1/5 — App issues

*2025-09-04*

I've been using the app for less than a month. The app constantly crashes. It doesn't save my journal entries.

### 3/5 — No skipping ahead

*2025-03-08*

If you want to get all of the journal prompts at once download it from the actual website and not the app.

### 1/5 — Absent customer service

*2025-01-27*

I bought the digital Better Every Day journal and have been enjoying it. Then I found this app - awesome right? 
No not awesome because I can’t find a way to link my previous journal purchase to the app and I’ve emailed all the contact us options at least a half dozen times and have not received any response for nearly two weeks despite their website and app saying I’d get a response in one to two days. 
It has been so frustrating and disappointing. 
I’d recommend buying the digital or hard copy Better Every Day journal except now I just don’t want to support this company at all. A company is only as good as their customer service and this companies customer service is non-existent.

### 2/5 — Confused and needs work

*2024-06-17*

I downloaded the app and I bought the digital version of the better every day journal. Thought it would be an offline journal but anytime I would input something, it would not save unless it was on Wi-Fi or connected to my phone data. The prompts were really thoughtful while I had it but it seems like it needs a bit of work.

### 5/5 — A Gem

*2024-05-08*

This is truly the best on the go way to touch base with yourself daily and hold yourself accountable for your self development and care. I love the ways that the questions pose inward thoughts and reflection and you can tell the work they put into their app to create a safe space for anyone. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to get into journaling or just have a passion for writing and getting to a place of habitual self care !

### 1/5 — App has stopped working.

*2024-04-23*

Anytime I try to type or record an entry and save it all vanishes. I’ve done this about 5 times this morning and quite frustrated with the time wasted. There’s no update available. I’ve force closed the app many times and rebooted my phone. Started out well and now I’ll just go back to my note taking app that never fails.

**Developer response:** Hi Npalumbo! We're so sorry to hear that you've had this experience with our app. We would love to help sort this out for you though. We know exactly what has gone wrong and if you send us an email at 'app@insidethenout.com' we can definitely get this resolved!

### 5/5 — The Best Journal Ever!!!

*2024-04-10*

I have previously used their physical journal. So excited to now be able to keep this journal in my pocket, on my phone. 

Looking forward to using this daily.

### 5/5 — the most thought provoking journal prompts!

*2024-04-10*

I have been using the dig deeper journal every morning and I LOVE it. I am so happy with this app because now I get to use the better every day journal that include more prompts on topics I don’t normally reflect on. I really love the mood check in and to be able to see how our mood fluctuates over the month. I also love the daily goal. Having this app is helping me stay focused and intentional. 🙏🏻
