Journaling

I’m so glad the app has returned and love the new name. I didn’t know how that journaling could be cathartic and fun in a way. I didn’t do it before because of time constraints. Now, I find the time to do it daily.

It’s interesting

Great app

Good fun transcribing my words into text

Don’t Subscribe

The App makes it impossible to cancel. The instructions to cancel subscription don’t work. Just check Reddit to see how many people haven’t been able to stop the subscription. I’m still trying!

Honestly

So far this app has honestly been a great experience. While journaling and interacting with AI it’s helped me with negative self talk and teaches coping skills. Truly it’s been an inspirational experience teaching me exactly how to do better!!

Love this app!

I saw an advertisement on Facebook about this amazing app and gave Honestly a try. I am so glad I did! I have a request for the next update. Please add Mandarin Chinese (Simplified) or 普通话 (简体字) in the next update, please? Please and thank you. 谢谢。 Thank you. Mandarin (Simplified) is Putonghua (jiantizi) in simplified characters.

Terrible app

Please don’t buy into their subscription plans it’s a total scam and waste of time

AI is discriminatory and biased.

The AI is incredibly biased and discriminatory towards LGBTQ users. And very often says the exact opposite of what’s appropriate in incredibly harmful ways.

Unless you’re straight, this app will cause far more harm to your mental health than good.

Eye Opening

This app makes you analyse your way of thinking and how that impacts your daily life. The summary at the end of each session is spot on.

Reflections and analysis is powerful!

I have been journaling for years- many journals filled with my prayers, thoughts and reflections.This journal is a step up for me, because it’s powerfully interactive. It helps me to notice things I may not see- that helps me a lot!

I notice it changes ever so often- I love the new part that generates questions under each category . This section only allows me to write in the categories IF I have written in the journal. I definitely give this journal 5 stars!

The best

I LOVE this app. This is a staple in my mental health coping mechanisms. Love it, thank you, honestly! :)

The best app

I really found this app helpful, as before bed I would journal and take a moment to write how a felt or just about anything. It is free for the most part which is great to me. I think more people should look into this app. There is also a streak that helps me remind myself ‘oh!, let’s take a moment to journal I thoughts or talk with somone (ai) if wanted!’

Some faults and issues

There are times when after a good session, the app will freeze up and fail, and then it throws away or loses the session that was just recorded To

Best outlet!

Love to vent with intention! The feedback has been very insightful.

Looks like a great app

I’ve only started using it, seems solid and useful.
I have one request though : I hate that a keyboard has to be present on the screen, even though I use dictation to enter my words. Can we get rid of that? It takes half the screen.

I’ll update my review when I get more use out of this app.

Scam

Do NOT download. I thought I’d paid £12.99 for a YEAR. Turns out this was for a month and I’ve now been charged £33, which is apparently a recurring monthly subscription for an app I trialled and deleted as I simply didn’t use it. No idea how to cancel as there’s nothing on the website or in my Apple Subscriptions. Now does this appear to be an authorised direct debit set up with my bank!

Great tool for mental health

I typically don’t leave reviews but I felt like I had to in this case. This app can be very useful as another tool in the arsenal for your own mental health. Though take the insights with a grain of salt. I find it interesting on the analysis of certain aspects of my personality. I love the approach and I find myself journaling more often rather than traditionally writing down things on paper.

Self love and forgiveness

This app has helped me save myself from harm. It lets me be heard.

So far so good

So far I like the app, but I just downloaded it and started using it today. As long as the interactive journaling piece continues to be free, I will love this…but if it’s extremely limited in how many entries you can do (I don’t know that yet as I’ve just done one part of my “journey”) then I will likely end up deleting it because I don’t want to have to pay more than a few dollars for apps. I am a teacher, I already pay for enough subscriptions out of pocket for work not to mention the fact that I’ve bought almost everything in my classroom, I don’t need to add more subscriptions lol
