User reviews

A winner!

There is so much negativity among us these days that it is heart-warming to be encouraged to give and receive a thank you.

Made my day better

Receiving a little gratitude from someone really made my day better. It’s such a simple thing, but it made me feel appreciated and put me in a better mood.

A good use of “social”

Great idea, appreciate someone using social media for something that’s focused on thanks and gratitude.

A refreshing change!

Instead of doomscrolling IG, scroll a feed of people showing appreciations and positive vibes. It’s great to send a receive thanks. Such a great idea!

Gratitude is the best longevity hack

After trying almost every longevity hack, I found giving public gratitude via OpenThanks most effective at bringing joy and spreading love each day. I hope others feel the same too, but if not, I'm happy to be the only person using the app! (Besides Jonny, of course)
