I can journal when I don’t have a notepad with me, and love the different audio, text and image options. This means if I do need some screen free journaling time, or want to draw instead, I can still capture it by taking a photo, ensuring everything stays together. It’s simple to use and the reminders give me the nudge I sometimes need! Looking forward to being able to read through past notes in the future! ### 5/5 — New to journaling? *2024-11-11* I’ve always loved the idea (& mental health benefits!) of journaling, but never done it… UNTIL NOW !

Still haven’t gone passed that to use this app because of this forced requirement **Developer response:** This was done to celebrate your birthday in the app but based on this I have made changes on the onboarding and it’s now completely optional. I would love to get your feedback on the new app update, if you get a chance! ### 4/5 — Smart Search *2025-10-23* The app description mentions a “smart search” feature. But I give up on trying to find this feature. I emailed the developer but never received a response. I would appreciate a reply. **Developer response:** Hi there, Apologies, I did not receive your email - The smart search is in the top-right corner of the My Journal page. It’s the magnifying glass icon. Thanks for your patience and I hope you enjoy smart searching all your journal entries. ### 4/5 — 1st day with and 1st review of My Journal *2025-10-19* Looking forward to future reviews! **Developer response:** Thank you for trying the app and I am looking forward to future reviews! ### 5/5 — Journaling done right *2026-05-28* Haven’t been able to keep journaling before this app. It’s so incredibly simple and easy to use ### 5/5 — Simple, nice daily journaling *2026-01-12* Clean, calming journaling app that’s easy to stick with. I like the mood tracking and gentle prompts, and it feels thoughtfully designed without being overwhelming. ### 5/5 — Easy yet complete *2025-10-19* I was hesitant because I’ve tried a bunch of journal apps and actually have a favorite. But….this might even replace that one. You can do everything you want in this journal and it’s all right there at one glance. Photo, audio or written entries- or a combination of any of them. The ease of this is a big big plus. It has all I need yet there’s no learning curve. I can’t recommend this enough and am Very grateful to the developer ### 5/5 — Great design *2025-10-19* I really like the vast features this app offers. It has everything I use two apps for under one roof. Setup is very good. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! Happy journaling! :) ### 5/5 — Finally, A Journal That Suits My Need! *2025-09-06, version 1.4* Since I seriously started my journaling journey late this year (2025), I've been on the lookout for the perfect app. My initial requirements were simple: a minimalist interface and a feature to track my mood. I was surprised to discover that many modern apps also let you upload photos and save locations. After a long search on the App Store, I finally found and tested "My Journal." What really sold me on subscribing to the Pro version was realizing it's made by an independent developer, Tai. The app's user experience and features—including mood tracking, location saving, photo uploads, tagging, and insights—are fantastic. I decided I wanted to support the creator behind such a great tool. Right now I can say that I'm so happy with the full experience, and I'm really looking forward to the next update that will add iCloud syncing. I hope more people discover and use this app! ### 5/5 — Fresh new start *2025-07-13* I have been meaning to journal more and this app has helped immensely. From the simple interface and the delightful reminders to journal and the fantastic photo map I love both writing and reflecting on journal entries. Would recommend! ### 5/5 — Loving it so far! *2025-05-18, version 1.4* Been using this for 2 days and so far I’m loving it. Waiting for the Mac version and icloud sync. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Journal everyday *2025-04-08* Really simple and easy to use journaling app which has helped my journal everyday. A New Year’s resolution I have had for the past decade but could never keep up! ### 5/5 — A Better Journal *2025-03-28* I have tried so many times to get into journaling and have failed as nothing has ever stuck. This app is a game changer. I love how easy it is to use and to get how I am feeling into the journal weather it’s text, audio or images. 100% recommend ### 5/5 — Really great journal app *2025-02-24* Really getting a lot out of this app. Even just the free parts. It’s well made and makes it easy to quickly add new journal entries --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
