### 5/5 — Soooooo helpful

*2025-08-13*

I got recommended the app on Instagram and gave it a try. It’s super simple & clean UX/UI! It’s helped me feel like I have a safe space to write what I’m feeling instead of
sharing it/exploding from it in somewhat destructive ways

### 5/5 — Wow

*2025-05-06, version 1.0.9*

So much help and support I love The review section.

### 5/5 — Much needed support system

*2025-04-13, version 1.0.9*

I love the interface of this app. It’s so easy to use and really fills a void in the market. Excited to see what other functionalities they introduce!

### 5/5 — This makes journaling MUCH easier

*2025-02-25*

Between the reminders to journal and the guided journaling, I am really starting to love this app. I do think they need to add in something to allow me to edit my entries.

### 5/5 — Best journaling app!!

*2025-02-20*

This app is super easy to use! There are multiple features that allow easiness and effectiveness to journal, including, video recording, voice recording, prompts, or simply writing. Definitely recommend if you’re trying to start a habit of journaling or self reflecting in general!

### 5/5 — Lots of nice touches

*2025-02-16*

I have been using this app a couple weeks now. It has a lot of cool features 👍🏾notification  reminder are the most important for me, as I don’t really think to journal otherwise. I am getting into the habit, hopefully it lasts.

### 5/5 — I can't believe this is free

*2025-02-16, version 1.0.6*

I have played around with different journaling apps...most are kind of dull...the better ones cost too much. This one is free! I am loving it!!!

### 5/5 — It is hard not to look back

*2025-02-10*

Downloaded the app a week or so ago - it is hard not to look back at the AI summaries! They really are helpful for reflection. I also love the mood tracking - turns out I usually feel better after journaling. Overall, this is a fun and insightful app to use. Recommend.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Good app but..

*2025-08-31, version 1.0.11*

Good app but they sell your information so you’re better off using chat gpt to get legit the same results. Sometimes even better results since it will tell you exactly what you’re writing about instead of a short summary.

### 1/5 — Sign in without Apple?

*2025-08-02, version 1.0.11*

This app doesn’t use Sign in with Apple. They want you to remember what email and password you set up with them when you signed up. Well it’s 2025 and my phone sets up accounts and remembers the fake/ generated email and passwords it sets up. That’s a job for my phone not for me. I never got past the what’s your email before leaving this review and deleting.

### 2/5 — Can’t import or export entries

*2025-04-26*

I have this app on two devices, it asks you to login so I assumed you could sync or import from the app if on two devices but you cannot. You have to keep them separately, a bit annoying. Mirror app is a good concept but lacks a lot. The entries can be confusing, after writing an entry you think you’re done but yet another frame pops up asking how you feel about the entry. Ease of use to myself is not comfortable. The interface is a bit drab looking. I give the app 2 stars and will pass.

### 4/5 — Only one problem

*2026-04-15*

So I been using this app for almost a long time and the only problem is it takes a long time to process idk if it’s just me or what like for example I wrote an entry last night before bed and today It’s still processing still.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your patience. Some Mirror users recently experienced an issue that prevented summaries or related notifications from appearing for certain entries. This issue has now been resolved, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

If a summary is still missing, open the entry, tap the three dots in the upper-right corner, and select Sync to regenerate it.

Please reach out with any questions.

Thank you,
The Mirror Team

### 4/5 — It's so helpful.

*2026-02-20, version 1.0.15*

It helps when I feel sad and upset and I just wanna vent out sometimes. I find it very useful.

### 4/5 — Nearly Perfect

*2025-03-10, version 1.0.8*

I admire every aspect of this app, but there are some minor deal breakers. There’s no way to edit my entries, and the ai simply summarizes them, not really providing much insight. Finally, a dark mode on the app would be very useful.

### 4/5 — Great App with Room for Improvement

*2025-02-21*

I really like the app already, but I think it could use two helpful features. First, the ability to change the date of a journal entry would be great. Second, it would be useful to go back to finished journals to edit or add anything. Despite this, I still think it’s a great app overall!

### 5/5 — Good app!

*2026-07-08*

This is a great journaling app, love the design, the insights it gives you, and the fact that it doesn’t require a subscription to use. However, please add a way to edit journal entries after you save them! I’d also love a way to choose the thumbnail of your entry.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-05-31, version 1.4.3*

I love this app😃

### 5/5 — Best Journal app out there

*2026-04-15*

I LOVE this app! The best part is, everything is free and it really helps you get past any writing blocks and gives you questions you might not think of

## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-03-12, version 1.0.19*

God bless the developers for making this free with no IAPs!! They really care. I love the insights and different ways you can journal. Just wish there were more guided journal prompts

### 5/5 — .

*2026-02-08*

Love the app but it would be a lot better if we could scroll when we hit the end of the page to see what is being typed.

### 5/5 — Great useful app

*2026-01-12*

When I first downloaded this app I was worried that it was gonna be like others that I have quickly deleted. However I’m loving having the journal right at my finger tips to write my feelings out and to just show myself grace and gratitude from the journal entries

### 5/5 — Great all

*2025-12-29*

I’m not really the kind of person that leaves app reviews. But this app is worthy of praising, my wife showed it to me because I’ve been have a rough time mentally lately. And it’s genuinely been so helpful for getting all my thoughts out, with its prompts. It’s genuinely helpful. And there aren’t and subscriptions or ads, which is so important for trying to ground yourself and escape from reality, the app doesn’t have any expectations that make you feel like you’re a consumer before you’re a human being, which is greatly appreciated. A huge thank you to the developers of this app!

### 5/5 — Download it

*2025-12-14*

Absolutely love it! Truly is helpful in being able to process your thoughts and jot them down. Love the prompts too when unsure what you’re feeling in the moment.

### 5/5 — This is the BEST Journal ever

*2025-12-09*

I have been using Mirror for a few weeks know and it helped me improve my mental health so much!!! It has made me better at expressing my emotions to my family. It is the best way to vent. I can take a video or an audio recording or even type it out. I also love the prompts they give you. But my favorite thing is the over view where AI gives you a summary of each days entry so you can know what and why you where angry on that day. Overall the best journaling app ever 100% recommend

### 5/5 — Review

*2025-10-23*

I love this app. It is great for journaling. It lets you know how you are feeling. You can look over your month and see how you were feeling during the month. I love this app
