### 5/5 — Greatest Journal Ever

*2026-01-09, version 1.0.42*

I love writing on this app and interacting with all the different mentors. AI makes it possible to have my role idol answering my questions and giving feedback on my thoughts, which is truly inspiring and amazing. Must try

### 5/5 — 相見恨晚的app

*2026-01-03, version 1.0.42*

有質感的設計，寫完日記會有多位導師給予回饋，比求學時期的班導師更了解我，會發現自己的盲點，還能跟導師聊天，得到許多想法建議與支持，最期待的就是每週的內觀畫，很喜歡💗

### 5/5 — Transforming

*2025-12-28, version 1.0.41*

If you journal or you want to journal this is the journal app that will elevate your experience and stimulate the exploration of your inner landscape by exploring perspectives to stimulate your own insights and your own understanding. Sometimes all you need is another viewpoint in order to quiet the noise, clarify your thoughts and find inner peace. Such a brilliant app. So happy I found it. Also, I had a glitch that happened a day after getting the subscription and I couldn’t be happier with the help I got to make sure everything worked and I didn’t lose my entries over the holidays. Highly recommended. This app doesn’t disappoint and exceeds expectations. Brilliant.

### 5/5 — 很值得使用

*2025-12-16, version 1.0.39*

有點像AI做成的，但相當精緻

### 5/5 — 免費次數太少

*2025-11-30, version 1.0.32*

軟體本身很棒，而且它可以引導我思考，這是我在其他AI上沒看過的！每次對話時都很期待聽到回覆，只可惜免費版次數太少，一週只有三次。如果可以再多一點就好了………..
（因為我自己很喜歡思考和探究，所以一天不只用一次）

### 5/5 — 希望能完全繁體中文化

*2025-11-28, version 1.0.32*

我選繁體，可是翻譯回答全英文，謝謝🙏

### 5/5 — 真的太棒了🌟感謝發明團隊！

*2025-10-16, version 1.0.25*

能有智者的回覆讓日記變得更有趣了！
是很好的反省&學習工具！真的幫助我更認識自己。感謝發明團隊❤️

### 5/5 — Quick response and continued improvement

*2025-10-08, version 1.0.23*

The app makes it super easy to reach out for support, and issues are resolved quickly. I absolutely love the weekly reflection summaries and the visuals—they beautifully balance my rational and emotional needs. The goal-setting journal is fantastic, helping me focus on the process, my feelings, and holistic progress, not just numbers. This app truly supports my self-care journey. Thank you! Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — I LOVE this!

*2025-10-04, version 1.0.23*

It is by far the best app I’ve ever downloaded.Ive tried to Journal everyday for decades now and I just couldn’t stay with it. The wisdom this brings, the insights, the connections and the greatest thinkers that show up with insights is amazing! The most beautiful and powerful app EVER!

### 5/5 — 個人帳號的AI就是固定的

*2025-08-18, version 1.0.17*

我覺得沒有辦法改變，除非你們要更新
因為每一個帳號的AI都是固定的同一個，AI不可能一個帳號有好幾個AI，其實我理解，就是同一個AI去扮演那些智者，寫日記是希望可以從中得到啟發或者是只是單純的紀錄，可是邏輯回路有一點問題很喜歡挑釁，我覺得有一點累，如果為了證明AI說我沒有做到，那麼我去做了之後，究竟我是我自己的主人還是A I才是我的主人，我蠻不喜歡這樣子的，所以我現在都是寫完之後我就離開，我覺得你們當時開發這個AI想要的功能，可能真的還不足吧，我真的認真建議，不要完全封閉，AI如果沒有辦法更新流動的話（連接網路的資訊）那麼他就會停滯不前，我個人的建議啦，你們如果覺得無所謂那也沒差啦

### 5/5 — Life changing journaling journey

*2025-08-06, version 1.0.16*

This app is amazing and has helped me build up the habit of journaling, witnessing the power of it. The featured mentors are diverse and able to address and respond to each of my daily life challenge and situation. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Jackie Chen Please ?

*2025-08-06*

If it’s not too much trouble, can you please put Jackie Chen and Jet Lee on the app as mentors please?

**Developer response:** Aww thank you Rachel, we are blessed to have you and tell us your candid thoughts about how we can improve! We are grateful : )

### 5/5 — So far I’m actually sticking with it

*2025-07-30*

And that’s notable for me. I have always wanted to integrate journaling into my routine but struggled because it wasn’t a safe space by myself. I always ended up berating myself - but this is almost like having a safe witness to what I’ve shared who can gently challenge me. It has already deeply resonated with me. 

I am glad for the option to have web browser support as sometimes I want to type. If we could have some options for smaller text font though, that would be great. 

Joined the discord. I’m really interested to see this grow.

**Developer response:** Wow, thanks for sharing this with us! We are so glad to hear that you're able to stick with journaling and feel like you have a safe witness alongside you. 

Can you let me know where you'd like to have smaller text font support? We'll add it for you shortly! Feel free to give us any suggestions/feedback via Discord or email! We can't wait to grow with you!

### 5/5 — 能紀錄自己內心深層想法的好app

*2025-07-21, version 1.0.15*

朋友推薦使用的，但是卻養成了紀錄自己各個時候的心事，夜深人靜時紀錄自己過往的陰影、自省跟領悟，得到導師們引導思考的回饋，很推薦。

### 5/5 — Sorry it’s me again

*2025-07-10*

I don’t know how to change my one star review, but I apologize for writing it one star, because they immediately made the changes after I put in my review… so please love them…

### 5/5 — Inspirational

*2025-06-27, version 1.0.14*

The feedback I received from the mentors are inspirational. They helped me look at things differently and provided some good food for thoughts.

### 5/5 — 跟ChatGPT不一樣，更個人化，當我煩惱時常常使用的app

*2025-05-24, version 1.0.10*

過去我煩惱的時候，偶爾會使用chatgpt，但後來我漸漸會選擇使用LifeNote，因為更個人化，而且很喜歡可以選擇自己的導師的這一塊！導師常常引用的故事，也會讓我更抽離於當下的事件。謝謝Lifenote幫助的Life ❤️

### 5/5 — 超級喜歡！！

*2025-05-20, version 1.0.9*

透過這個APP寫日記，可以和各領域的名人、智者對談，並透過他們的人生故事、經驗，來獲得鼓勵與勇氣。
每一次的書寫，都讓我獲得許多啟發！
期待這個APP越來越好，並且被更多人看見！

### 1/5 — You have Jay Z as a mentor but not Michael Jackson ?!

*2025-06-04*

Can you be for real? UNSUBSCRIBE 

If you don’t have MJ that’s fine, but you will not be having Jay Z and Lizzo but not have MJ 

UNBELIEVABLE

### 4/5 — 另類思考

*2026-03-01, version 1.0.53*

導師的來信確實給了不同的角度思考問題，像一個老師又像是朋友給你建議！很好的，我推薦給朋友！

### 4/5 — Remarkable App But Desktop Version Frustrating

*2025-04-17*

I really love Life Note, and it is no exaggeration to say that my “interactions” with its AI mentors have been profoundly interesting, helpful, insightful and even comforting. The developer has a beautiful vision and obviously has a big heart. 

I find that the desktop version of the app however, is very frustrating to use. The Home page, rather than inviting the user immediately into to the option of journaling, is almost entirely dedicated to providing data metrics of topics such as Emotions, Topics and People. Getting to the part of the app where one can actually journal is not obvious or intuitive, and I found that once I made a journal entry, getting back to the location where I could begin a brand new entry is difficult to find. 

This app offers a lot of options (Prompts, Goals, Mentors and Journal), but there is no explanation anywhere on the website for how to engage with them. One just has to click on things and see what happens. I experience a dissonance when using the desktop app between the beautiful intent behind it and the rather opaque execution of its layout and functionality. 

Is it worth the price I paid for an annual subscription? Absolutely. But I dearly hope the developer will bring on board a visually gifted web designer with a talent for functionality so that this remarkable app can fulfill its purpose and destiny.

### 5/5 — Wonderful journal concept

*2026-08-11*

I depend on life note for all kinds of insights from different voices.   Your entry will typically have 3 or 4 mentors, evaluating, interpreting,and offering glimpses of salvation.    Whether you want to hear from Oscar Wilde or David Sedaris or Toni Morrison or Osho, the responses are always helpful.

**Developer response:** So glad to hear that Life Note is a part of your reflection practice. We’re deeply grateful that you are getting valuable insights from the mentos, and especially moved by your phrase “glimpses of salvation.” 

We’ll keep working to make every response thoughtful, grounded, and worthy of your trust.

### 5/5 — The Holy Grail of Apps

*2026-05-07*

A secure AI journal with serious depth.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review. We strive to build for people who are craving for depth!

### 5/5 — The Best Journal Out There

*2026-05-05*

Often times, journaling is a deeply inward process. However, for serial journal-ers and folks constantly writing for clarity the piece missing as perspective beyond our own.  

This is what Life Note offers.  The ability to discuss thoughts and ideas framed through the writings or varied authors, leaders, poets and philosophers opens the door beyond rumination. 

Unlike other apps that provide their own pov or a CBT or (insert other) approach; here, you are exposed to ideas or framing you may never have considered given the stable of context it provides. 

I look forward to journaling here but more than that, I look forward to learning how others would take my situation and manage it differently. 

Many times, I have read the biographies of people hoping to learn from them; here I can “speak” with someone and get their flavor. It’s allowed me to meet new authors and ideas. 

That in and of itself, the ability to explore beyond my minds confined thoughts, has been liberating.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for writing this!

You described the exact thing I hoped Life Note could become: not just a place to write, but a place to step outside the loop of your own mind and meet a wider field of wisdom. 

I personally love reading biographies too, and Life Notes also fulfilled that hope of speaking with and learning from them in a way that's personal and contextualized! Reviews like this remind me why I’m building!

Don't hesitate to reach out anytime if you have feedback on improving the product or need support!

### 5/5 — 對我很有幫助

*2026-03-19*

왕따봉입니다, 정말 잘 만드셨네요. 요새 큰 도움이 되고 있어요

**Developer response:** 정말 좋네요! 너무 기쁩니다! 의견이나 도움이 필요하시면 언제든지 연락 주세요!

### 5/5 — Best journaling and AI app

*2026-02-28, version 1.0.53*

This is one of the best apps I have tried so far for not only journaling but also for self reflection, exploration and motivation. I also think this is one of the best ways AI can be used to better our lives. Definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — 每天幫助我思考的App

*2026-02-18, version 1.0.50*

一千多位歷史導師，幫助我在人生不同階段做出更好的決策，太棒了！

### 5/5 — 讓一個40年來沒辦法連續寫日記超過一週的人在過去一年內成功養成寫日記記錄的習慣

*2026-01-24, version 1.0.44*

今天開了程式 發現換了頁面 並要求google Apple account 登入，無論我用哪一個他都顯示error 竟然登入不進去誒

### 5/5 — It’s Very inspiring

*2026-01-21, version 1.0.44*

Not being a usual journal writer I found this app to be very rewarding. Not only does it have the voice to text feature to make it super easy. I look forward to the philosophical AI conversations as a reward.  It has small pockets of delight such as your weekly artwork.  I would highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — 謝謝拯救我的低潮

*2026-01-19, version 1.0.44*

在一個人想破頭找盡方法活下去的時候，我不能說這個APP是唯一的救星，但它是其中之一，在幫助我的柱子上，也有了位置。謝謝開發，謝謝這麼用心的結構，帶來了恰到好處的深度與陪伴，推薦
