## What is Lid?

Lid's the place where your voice gets the spotlight. Think of it as your personal sound booth where your thoughts get the VIP treatment. Just say the words, and we turn your voice notes into a colourful journal - no pen, no typos, no sweat! 

Journaling is a proven way to help boost your mental health and happiness, but in spite of the many benefits to journaling, very few people take advantage. The main reason for this is the fact that traditional journaling takes time and offers no immediate feedback, so people often lose interest and don’t invest the time it takes to journal. That is until now, with Lid, we’ve finally cracked the code to help make journaling a reality for the masses, and our mission is to make journaling an exercise practiced by many. 

Lid’s voice to text feature allows you to avoid the tedious task of writing down your thoughts as you can simply do a brain dump of what is on your mind and our trained artificial intelligence journaling platform will turn your brain dump into the perfect journal summary. On top of that, our AI offers you the perfect feedback complement to your journal in the form of a personalised SoundBite that offers encouragement and provokes thought based on your brain dump. 

Lid truly is the perfect complement to your journey towards a happier, more self-aware and grateful self. 

Key Features:
Speak Easy Journaling: Got a minute? Share a thought. Lid uses talk-to-text technology and AI to turn your thought into a daily journal, making journaling a breeze. Beyond the journal, Lid offers you personalized feedback that leverages AI to build the perfect SoundBite on the things you discuss in your journal.

AI Smarts:
Our AI tunes into your narrative, picking up the pulse of your stories to highlight key insights from your day's entry.

Cheer-In-Your-Ear: 
Every day, we craft a unique & uplifting SoundBite from your journal entries - think of it as a personalized pep talk to perk up your day.

Lock It Down:
We're tight-lipped about your entries. Your words make a brief stop for transcription, then it's bye-bye voice data, hello privacy. Additionally, all journal entries are password protected, to ensure that your thoughts always stay private.

Here's the Scoop: 
"I talk. Lid listens. It's like having a diary that's all ears and no judgment. Plus, the motivational bit? Total day-maker."

Extras That Rock:
Streaks That Speak to You: Track your journaling streak, like a happiness scorecard that keeps on giving. Go, you!

Anywhere Access: 
Synced up and backed up - that's how Lid rolls. Whether you're on your phone or tablet, your journal's just a tap away.

### 1/5 — Stalls out on sign in

*2025-07-11*

After a Cpl of sessions with my therapist, she had recommended that I start some type of journaling. A battle with a lot of joint pain so I thought something that could hear my voice and jot down my journal entries. That way would be a great idea. I was super excited to try this app, but I cannot get past the login screen.

### 1/5 — Not a real app

*2025-06-09, version 1.1.1*

Think this is a concept rather than a real app- my guess is as a proof of concept perhaps. You can’t login or get into the app but it does take & log all your information.
Tried to contact there support via their website but only a form available and no response back so far.
Would give this app a miss and recommend Pausa that I downloaded at the same time and is ticking all the feature boxes!

### 5/5 — Voice journal

*2025-05-03, version 1.1.1*

Happy to see new updates and fixes ❤️

### 2/5 — Doesn’t open

*2025-03-21*

Sounds like an amazing product but it get stuck at the sign in page every time and I’ve never been able to use it

### 3/5 — Cannot sign in

*2025-03-09*

Always stays in the title page whenever i try to sign in. Please fix <3

### 1/5 — Paid money then it stopped working

*2025-03-07*

BEFORE: “The AI feedback it gives is so good that it freaks me out. I cry every time I listen and feel peaceful when it’s done.”

NOW: Literally will not work. Just spins and spins. So frustrating and seems sketchy. Trying to get my money back!

### 5/5 — So good it’s creepy

*2025-02-07*

I just started using this app because I wanted to try voice journaling (writing wasn’t working for me). The AI feedback it gives is so good that it freaks me out. I cry every time I listen and feel peaceful when it’s done.

### 3/5 — No notifications

*2024-07-29, version 1.1.0*

Core feature not working. No notifications available on iOS.

### 4/5 — Good but the app crashes

*2024-04-30*

This is a good app, but it has started crashing.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback and for using our app. We’ve just released an update that hopefully eliminates an edge case bug that led to crashing for some users when using certain Bluetooth accessories while recording. Hope that resolves the crashes you mentioned.

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2024-04-22*

This is a shame. When it works, it works really great. It gives amazing advice and I walk away feeling great. Unfortunately, many times it seems to glitch out temporarily and I can’t record a message or it won’t play the response.  Which are always good.  I also don’t like that I can’t play the response from another day.  When I go to the day, it says you can play the response but it doesn’t play that days response, it plays the current response. So that’s another glitch.  If the glitches were fixed, it would get five stars.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback and for using our app. We’ve released an update that addresses the occasional issues with recording. Also, playback of prior day’s feedback audio should be working properly.
