### 2/5 — Bad setup for Trial Period

*2026-08-14, version 6.0.7*

I signed up for this app as part of a free trial and even set up an account. There are probably about 100 Dream apps out there that I could’ve tried, but I heard this had some good features. But even after signing up for a premium subscription with a free trial period for seven days, it wouldn’t let me do any Dream analysis or access the premium feature and kept telling me that I needed to subscribe. I had to go through the process of creating an account again manually somehow even after using my Apple account to sign up only for it to not acknowledge my free trial and force me into a $60 subscription. No thanks. Already moving on.

### 4/5 — Great but needs slight glitch adjustments

*2026-07-14, version 6.0.3*

I love the app and all of its features. I used to hate actually writing down my dreams in a journal since I’d be so sleepily most of the time I’d rather just skip journaling. When I can across this app, it was perfect because I could actually record a voice note and it would automatically transcribe it for me. However I have noticed for voice notes over 10 minutes, it starts glitching and doesn’t save it. I’ve tried several times and always the same issue. I’ve had to separately record parts of it in order for it to work. Please fix this!! Otherwise 5 ⭐️

### 4/5 — A Good App

*2026-07-08, version 6.0.2*

But BEWARE the updates. I had to delete all my data and the app (then reinstall) to get it to work again.

### 1/5 — Free only a week then locks you out

*2026-06-14, version 5.2.2*

It’s just a cash grab app. Puts you on a free trial week and then you have to pay to use the app. Not worth it at all.

### 1/5 — App completely broke. No customer support

*2026-05-18, version 5.2.1*

I tried to create an account on the app and I completely lost access to everything, including all my previous saved dreams. Everytime I open the app, it just says “the app needs to restart”. I’ve restarted my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times, and absolutely nothing has fixed it. I’ve emailed customer support and gotten nothing. Lost all my saved dreams for nothing. I wish I wrote them down on something else now

### 1/5 — Do not use this app

*2026-05-16, version 5.2.1*

Deletes all your history randomly despite paying for the service

### 1/5 — lost all my dreams

*2026-05-02, version 5.2.0*

maybe it was a glitch, but it made me log back into my account and i lost all of my dreams

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-04-22, version 5.2.0*

I hate writing out my dreams by hand because it takes too long and I usually forget my dreams by the time I’m halfway through writing it down. I love this app because I can type my dreams out as fast as I want or even use the talk to text feature on my phone. I love all of the extra features it provides like adding symbols or the context of other dreams, and it has helped me remember my dreams with more clarity and become lucid more often :)

### 5/5 — Practically perfect

*2026-04-02, version 5.1.1*

I have been using this for a while and even though I’m not actually a member or whatever the paid version is called, I still can call this an incredibly good app, that helps a lot. I quite enjoy the way it has been made, as well as the formatting.

### 4/5 — Keeps crashing when I try to view statistics

*2026-03-30, version 5.0.4*

As the above title suggests, the app crashes each and every time I try to view all time statistics between dreams. I’ve had the app since March 2nd 2022 and have payed for a membership for just as long. This problem started after the 2nd or third update this month.

### 1/5 — unable to log in

*2026-08-15, version 6.0.7*

im unable to sign up/log back into my account. ive sent multiple emails and all have gotten no reply

### 1/5 — Data Scraping Without Substance

*2026-08-14, version 6.0.7*

This app asks for 20 questions about you, including age and gender, before eventually getting to the fact that it’s a subscription only service. What a scam!

### 1/5 — What???

*2026-08-11, version 6.0.7*

The explanation for your dreams used to be free??? Why is everything locked now?? I’ve been using this app since 2021 and it sucks

### 1/5 — Forced to update and all my dreams logged over the years are gone.

*2026-07-29, version 6.0.6*

Now it’s only a paid version. All my stuff is gone. This is the worst

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-07-26, version 6.0.6*

I would have given Oniri 5 stars. I had around 5 years of dreams listed in it. Then it stopped working. The app now loads to a black screen. I then wrote to their support department. They never wrote back to me. So my rating is now 1 star. If they ever fix this problem, I’ll change my rating

### 1/5 — Useless without paying

*2026-07-24, version 6.0.6*

Forces you onto a trial and can’t just use the app without signing on to the trial. Collects a lot of data about you before it tells you that. Sneaky tactics. Deleting the app

### 1/5 — It looked good but..

*2026-07-22, version 6.0.6*

Its looked good but it doesn't seem to work. I answered all the questions at beginning and then nothing happened & I tried it twice, But maybe its not compatible with my phone 🙅🏻‍♀️

### 1/5 — Never deleted an app so fast

*2026-07-07, version 6.0.2*

Spent 30 minutes recounting a dream, app crashed and did not save. Never again!

### 1/5 — Lots of info

*2026-07-07, version 6.0.2*

Had to answer a lot of questions , share my health app data and then after that it said “let’s get started” and nothing happened. Had to delete the app

### 1/5 — Updated but lost journal

*2026-06-18, version 5.2.2*

Lost journal and wants subscription

### 5/5 — So far so good!

*2026-07-24*

I just downloaded the app and set it all up, hopefully after using this for a while I will return and update this review. But so far I’m impressed with its ability to simply log the dreams whether you write or speak, being able to draw your own picture as a label for your dream not just a typical title. I appreciate the way it stores all the symbols and categories so that you can easily see patterns and search for specific dreams if you want to reread them. I also like the section on lucidity which I’m very interested in. And the geek in me also likes the way it has levels for how many dreams you record. A way to rate how much progress/ consistency you’ve made in your dream journaling.
Ps. you can use the basic functions for free and then there is an upgraded level with a little bit more for a fee. I got stuck on a screen for a moment where I thought I was going to be forced into a trial, but I just needed to X out of that screen and it took me back to the main page.:-)

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2026-07-18, version 6.0.4*

I adore this app. There is so many things you can do without a subscription, and theres no ads at all! You can add elements to your dream without having to write them down, which is extremely helpful when you are tired, or your dream is slipping away. Love this app, 10/10.

### 5/5 — Genuinely helpful

*2026-07-08, version 6.0.2*

This app helps so much I’ve had it for 5 years now!

### 5/5 — Dream Journal

*2026-06-30, version 5.2.2*

I love it because people can write down what they’ve dreamed about or what dreams do they have and I write down about the dreams I have that take me back in time all the time when I look back on my life and what parts of my life would’ve been like.

### 5/5 — Best dream journal

*2026-06-19, version 5.2.2*

This app worked so well in helping me remember my dreams that I stopped using it. Because I realized remembering dreams sucks. Too many dreams involve staring at a piece of technology while it doesn’t do what you want it to do because they just don’t work in dreams. But when I WAS using this every morning, I started remembering every single horrible dream. It was crazy. Love how detailed you can be and love how things are tagged so you can look for patterns. There isn’t an app better than this one IF you like remembering your dreams.

### 5/5 — The most amazing tool for self reflection.

*2026-05-29, version 5.2.1*

It just keeps getting better! Now it connects to my health app for sleep data!

### 5/5 — Very Handy

*2026-05-05, version 5.2.1*

Love being able to type my dreams, add a AI photo, ask for AI analysis. Update: my voice-to-text is finally working! Yay! Makes it even better.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing and Now With AI!

*2026-05-04, version 5.2.0*

It just keeps getting better! I love the lucidity techniques and the ability to remember what specific symbols mean to me!

### 5/5 — Excellent dream app

*2026-04-25, version 5.2.0*

For the last 5 years I've been using this app often to record my dreams. It helps me remember my dreams way better am i can see patterns over time that i would have never known. i get a lot better insight into my subconscious this way. I verbally transcribe each time I wake up right away. Then during the day I finish filling in the app about details. 

The AI interpretation function has been a great add-on. Really gives me some insight I hadn't caught before.

### 5/5 — Responsive tech support and great journaling app

*2026-04-23, version 5.2.0*

Issues are solved quickly and the app is very in depth in terms of dream labels and themes
