❤️ the app

Love this app…I record everything on here. Day by day as it happens

Great App, Unfortunately

I downloaded this app years ago and was thrilled to find one so easy to use, organize, and aesthetically pleasing as this. It became a constant in my life to remain mindful and make connections. The unfortunate part is that it stopped updating years ago and it’s only a matter of time before it’s gone completely. In all that time I’ve never found any way to export or save the seven years of information. So as the days pass, it’s a painstaking task to copy/paste entry by entry into another platform.

more theme please

how about black + more darker colors?? i need it it nightmode!!

ALMOST my favorite app!!

I downloaded this app back in 2019 after trying maybe a dozen other apps first; but this one really nails a lot of things for me, like an easy to use UI that make seeing how my days went super easy, interests I can checkmark on each day I give attention, built-in questions to be even more mindful of my life, I could go on. However, the app went online for (I think) almost over a year, and it devastated me to lose 6 years worth of my journal entries. I’m more than happy now that it’s back, and I’d absolutely keep writing in it now if it weren’t for a few factors:

Namely, the app doesn’t get updated anymore as far as I can tell, so the new features you can vote on to have added (or even donate for) will likely never come. The developers haven’t updated anything on the official social media since coming back this year, which worries me that the app might go offline again; maybe for good next time. And lastly, there may not be enough other people downloading the app for the developers to justify continued effort on this app, even if I personally love it. If anything, I’d gladly pay a one time fee if it meant the app gets continued support, but I’m not sure there’s enough people like me out there.

In essence; great app. I love it. I wish it got more updates and community engagement/support so I can sleep knowing that my years of entries won’t be missing the next morning.

Thanks for being there

Good app

SO HAPPY!!!

I’m so happy this app is back, it surprised me when I received a notification from Perspective on my Apple Watch!! I love the usability of the app and I’m so excited to put my daily gratitudes on here!! Pls don’t leave again, we love u 😭😭😭💟

Issues

Absolutely love this app as a journal however the user interface forces you to tell it whether you had a good week every time you open the app.

Then the app shames you if you didn’t have a good week by telling you the next one will be better

I don’t need my notes or journal app to talk to me

Dev team PLEASE remove the mandatory happiness tracking it is so deeply annoying and makes your app so much worse

Best journaling app hands down. SO GLAD IT’S BACK

For a while I couldn’t find this app anymore and I was devastated. This app has been an amazing way for me to write out my days and process them. Thank you so much to the developers.

I LOVE this app

I am not one to leave reviews but have been using this app for 9 years daily. I love it and I am so happy that it is back and updated! I hope it never goes away again!

This is my favorite app.

I can’t tell you how happy I am to see that Perspective is back. This app is a joy to use and I love what it does. I recorded so many milestones here over the years. It’s a part of my daily routine and helps me complete the Year Compass every December as a part of my yearly routine. It’s simple, intuitive, and yeah, it really does shift your perspective. ✨ it seems like the folks who created it really care about it, and I’m so, so grateful they brought it back.

The Best Journaling App

I was in a rough spot a few years ago when a teacher recommended that I begin journaling. I cycled through a few apps but this one STUCK. I have journaled everyday for the past 4 years. Seeing my growth over the years is probably the coolest thing ever. Plus this app is just so easy to use.

Not compatible with iPhone 16

Love this app, been using it since 2017. Horrible to find I can’t open it on my new phone. Might stick with my iPhone 12 just so I can use this longer. I wonder how the desktop version is.

Amazing

I’m sooooo glad you’re back. I lost my app due to phone change and the app was no longer available in Canadian App Store. Thanks for bringing it back.

Impressive

I have kept a diary since I can remember. It helps me evaluate my feelings and record my life as its happening. Today I got my fist insight from perspective and no cap it had me in tears. Nothing beats pen on paper but for perspective, im willing to give typing a try. The extra surprises and gentle reminders are helping me keep an interesting journal that I can use to evaluate my thoughts and help refocus with a little perspective. I am grateful

Love this app

I love this app and when I have the extra money, I'm going to make a donation.
This app has helped me rid myself of some negative emotions. For months I will write out some of the turmoil that I'm going through and when I feel like I've purged myself, I delete that journal and start over. For some reason, this has a positive impact on me. Right now, the new journal that I have started is going to be more positive. I think that I've purged all of the bad stuff out.
Thank you for making this app. You have helped me in more ways than one. ❤️🙏❤️

SEARCH FUNCTION!!?!?!

Where is the search function? I have donated to this multiple times now and a while ago in the app and it still hasn’t been delivered. Search functionality should come as standard.
It comes standard with all other journal apps. This is very frustrating.
Also an export function would be great to be able to save all of your entries to an excel spreadsheet or something.
I really like the ‘interests’ feature and the smiley face coloured calendar.

Best app to track moods and daily life

I have been using this app since 2018! I find it very helpful and I like the fact that you can edit and add pictures to your daily entries. This app has so many features I love. You should try it!

Love this app

This app keeps me from going over the edge. I love reflecting on past thoughts so I’m able to challenge my future self.
I love the simple functionality, the user interface, the icloud capability.

Thanks

I am someone who struggles with depression. I have been using this app on and off for over a year. I definitely see great progress when I use it. I always feel like all I have to do is pick it up and start where I left off. Usually that means reading through old posts and seeing good things that I was capable of doing and want to do again.I love the simplicity in how your progress is charted,and the time it takes to do it. Thanks!

Best journal app!

Looked through dozens of journaling apps and this one has been my favorite for years❤️I always notice an improvement in my mood whenever I am consistent using this app. I love the features such as the journaling prompts, mood and interests tracker, and motivational quotes. It really helps you reflect on yourself. However, I wish there were more options to customize the appearance such as the font and more colors.
