Imagine if you want to find something you record days ago or months ago, how can you possibly do it without searching? That’s why I didn’t give it 5 stars review. ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-03-22, version 2.3* I love the simplicity of this app. Easy to use & suits me as a neurodiverse person. It would be great to do photos & it’s disappointing to read a review from years ago with a response saying it’s coming. I also like that the free version is great, but I really like the paid extras - different colour schemes & customisable questions. ### 4/5 — Absolutely Awesome Gratitude Journal *2026-01-02, version 2.3* This app is great, so much better than all the others. The only thing I wish it had was the ability to upload a photo or two for the day. Other than that, it cannot be beat and I’ve been using it for quite a while. ### 4/5 — export to pdf not working *2025-07-04, version 2.3* export to pdf not working ### 5/5 — Simpel und toll! *2025-01-01, version 2.3* Ich finde es großartig, dass die Kategorien, in die man Einträge macht, individuell anpassbar sind. Die App ist simpel und strukturiert, ohne überflüssigen Schnickschnack – genau das, wonach ich gesucht habe. Ich nutze sie seit etwa zwei Monaten nahezu täglich. Eine Version fürs MacBook noch wäre wirklich fantastisch!!! Vielen Dank! ### 5/5 — Absolutely satisfied *2024-11-25, version 2.3* This app is exactly what I wished for. No unnecessary nonsense, no subscription. Best wishes for the developer! ### 5/5 — Wow. Just wow. ❤️ *2024-11-03, version 2.3* I love this app. I use it and can immediately just feel better about myself and my life. I love that it can be used both for free and with a ONE TIME cheap purchase!!! I love feeling validated by the quotes of the day, as well. ### 4/5 — Love the app *2024-10-06, version 2.3* I just wish that there was a way that you could carry over parts from the day before instead of having to rewrite or copy daily. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2024-08-15, version 2.3* Everyone should use this app, it makes every day better for me! ### 5/5 — Minimalistic diary app *2024-06-21, version 2.3* Simple design, you can easily customize the features to your liking without having to pay an expensive subscription (the one time payment is really affordable!). Just what I was looking for. I do have one wish: I'd like to choose what content is shown in the calendar view. The default setting is showing all your entry's for that day, I'd prefer to just have it read the daily affirmation. ### 5/5 — Love using this app! *2024-06-13, version 2.3* This app is so simple and yet so effective! It’s a game changer for improving my mental state and feeling happier. I’m so grateful to have found it and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to strengthen their focus on the positive areas of their life. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2024-05-08, version 2.3* I’ve been writing in a gratitude journal on and off for 10 years. It wasn’t until I found this app I was able to stay consistent and write every day, and it makes a great start to every morning. I wish it could become a widget for the home screen as well! ### 5/5 — My favorite *2024-05-04, version 2.3* After downloading many apps, this one was the best one, usually I don’t buy apps, the best part is that it’s just a one time purchase and it’s affordable, I love the design, I can change the colors and personalize the rows which is a plus. I would like if I could do something like a vision board or something like that in the app would be great. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2024-03-14, version 2.3* This app has really changed how I take on the day and how I choose to end it. I show it to pretty much everyone that wants to listen to me. A really small effort with a huge impact on my mindset -and through repetition and daily practice of the skill of seeing the good in everything, it’s becoming second nature. So glad I found this app and so glad I got premium so I can tailor it to my specific needs -I am one to tweak, adjust and reflect so I really enjoy it. I actually decided to write this review because I just saw in the recap section that last month I answered that the thing I was grateful for was precisely this app and just wanted to show said appreciation. Gracias! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2024-02-10, version 2.3* Simple, elegant, effective. A gift to all its users. ### 5/5 — This App Has Been Apart Of My Healing Journey *2024-01-29, version 2.3* I use this app each day. Starting the beginning of my day and the last thing before bed. I recommend this app to everyone that likes to set the own tones for the day and night practicing gratitude, self care, & abundance. ### 5/5 — Perfect manifestation companion *2024-01-22, version 2.3* I tried many apps but the problem is their “free” version utility is so low that it’s not even worth downloading. This app is different. It has paid features that enhances it’s capabilities but the basic version itself is not butchered to make it a hook for premium, it’s actually pretty useful. Now this is good design, I don’t mind supporting a company like this with paid subscription as well. The UI is very simple and does the job, it has all the basic functionality I expected. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sprache *2025-07-29, version 2.3* Wie kann ich in der App die Sprache ändern? Meine ist leider nur auf Spanisch würde diese aber gerne auf Englisch umstellen. ### 1/5 — Consistently not working *2024-11-22, version 2.3* It does not work with my apple pen. Frustrates me. ### 1/5 — Malament *2024-09-04, version 2.3* Et fa pagar per totes les funcions bàsiques que et descriu. No em deixa ni canviar l’idioma i ara no em deixa esborrar el compte ### 1/5 — Lame *2023-12-01, version 2.2* Very basic. Others call it minimalist - lame to me. As someone struggling with gratitude and motivation seeing blank boxes is not at all help. This app is giving minimal effort. Having to pay for the mood tracker? Lame. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2023-11-01, version 2.2* It had me sign up with all my info and then start on the first day and after I fill everything in and try to select an emotion at the bottom it would just pop up the subscription and I could never even finish the first day. Don’t waste my time filling in all my info and giving my email just to charge me to use the app at all. ### 1/5 — How to cancel my subscription? *2023-10-02, version 2.2* This app isn't showing up in my Itunes account so I have no idea how to cancel the subscription or why I was charged for this. Please advise how to cancel my subscription. ### 1/5 — A little dodgy if you ask me. *2023-03-04, version 2.2* So the app looks beautiful and was exactly what I was looking for. I purchased the full version, created my colour palette and then signed up. I then noticed that in the “Data collected” it mentions that user data is collected and it is tied to the individual. So I deleted my “account” as I couldn’t even seem to find what this was account in relation to. Now I cannot get back into the app without creating an account first which wasn’t the case when I initially downloaded the app. But I’m now being forced to create an account and for what reason? ### 1/5 — You have to pay to get better 💀 *2023-03-04, version 2.2* Hate this app ### 1/5 — Questionable at Best- Fake News at Worst *2023-02-20, version 2.2* “I got this app hoping to bring some motivation to my daily routine— however motivation is still lacking from my day. After reading the daily quote: “Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow” I thought that this app was working and my life was truly changing for the better. Until I looked below the foolish quote and read Helen Keller. You may see where I am going with this— Helen Keller would not see where I am going because she was said to be blind. What upsets me so much is the fact that Helen Keller wasn’t even real. This app spreads fake positivity and I am here to put an end to it. #FAKENEWS #HELENKELLERISFAKE” ### 1/5 — most BORING app!!! *2023-01-21, version 2.2* DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!! Everytime I open this app I fart so hard and it glitched and jimmymultiball comes on the screen!! Fix this bug and I will consider redownloading! I expected much better! 😡 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple and easy! *2026-05-19, version 2.3* This is such a well designed app! I needed something simple, customisable, easy to use and cute - this has it all 😍 ### 5/5 — What a gift! *2026-04-29, version 2.3* I am so grateful for this app. It is a place to do a daily gratitude list morning and night. It’s also an opportunity to look back on my day and see what I want to do better! ### 5/5 — Fantástica app *2026-04-12, version 2.3* La mejor app como diario de gratitud ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-12-08, version 2.3* It’s simple and easy to use, but has everything you need to keep a daily log. I love how the upgrade allows you to add your own questions or prompts ### 5/5 — Most Adorable Journal Ever! *2025-07-08, version 2.3* Someone wrote that this app doesn’t deserve a 1 (or even 3 stars!) and I second that, because this is the most perfect journal I’ve ever used. As someone who likes their journal to be aesthetically pleasing and not only useful, I can confidently say that this is my dream journal! It’s sleek, minimalistic, and pretty. Bought the full version for only 100k Rupiah ($9-ish) and I can customize my daily questions, add as many boxes I want, AND I CAN PERSONALIZE THE APP COLOURS! I can’t emphasize how amazing that is. But, if you can’t get the full version yet, it’s still as great. You just can’t personalize the color and maybe not personalize your questions. But it still has the daily quotes, monthly or weekly summary and you can track your moods throughout the week as well. It’s easy to use, and the overall display is great for visual learner like me. Try it for free and see if you like it! ### 5/5 — Best App of this Kind *2025-04-19, version 2.3* The best App I found with all features needed. Is super cheap. Works perfectly. Thank you! ### 5/5 — PLEASEEEEE add a search button *2025-03-04, version 2.3* Sometimes I wanna find specific entries and think to use key words to find that specific day but I can’t 😭 Can you guys add it? PLEASEEE Otherwise everything is perfect ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-02-07, version 2.3* This is exactly what I was looking for! I ran out of pages in my paper journal and couldn't refill it, so I decided to find an app that would be similar to my journal. I'm really glad I discovered this app. Thank you! 🥰 ### 5/5 — Can you guys add a search button *2025-02-02, version 2.3* Sometimes I wanna find specific entries and think to use key words to find that specific day but I can’t 😭 Can you guys add it? Otherwise everything is perfect ### 5/5 — Simple, aestethic, BEAUTIFUL *2025-01-30, version 2.3* I have no words, this is a masterpiece! I’m a college student who’s depressed. This app is a therapy for my mental issues, I highly recommend getting this app if your mentally unhealthy. Dear Ms.Padilla, this is a great app!
