As someone who has always tried journaling and had trouble sticking to it, it’s been great to find an app that allows you to use audio to journal instead. One of the features that stands out is being able to see my thought patterns in through AI, which has been a great tool for self reflection in my life. I also love that you can add photos and it’s nice to look back and remember what you were doing and how you were feeling that day. The audio and AI is really a game changer. Definitely would recommend this app to anyone looking for a new way to journal! **Developer response:** Cheers, gromadeleine! We're delighted that Perspective has become your go-to for journaling - and that you're finding the audio and AI features useful for your self-reflection! ### 5/5 — The best & smartest journaling app *2024-01-02* Perspective is so thoughtfully designed. I’ve been blown away by its ability to understand the feelings and experiences that I document. I never used to journal, but this app has totally changed that. **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your experience with us, andreplaut - and delighted to learn that Perspective helped you start a journaling habit! We put a lot into making sure it feels intuitive to use & that the AI is responsive. ### 5/5 — THE best journaling app *2023-12-24, version 0.1.9* Been looking for an app like this for years ### 5/5 — Absolutely love this so much *2023-12-18* I’ve always been someone who hasn’t been great at journaling, because I don’t love writing. this app came to me through serendipitous means, and when I found out that I can voice record my journals, I was over the moon. It’s been a few months since I’ve been using the app (through beta) and I can say this has helped me reflect on my own feelings and what is truly bothering me because whenever I feel anything, I will record myself explaining my feelings, and how that day went and I’ll listen back and be able to reflect and kind of pinpoint why I’m feeling this and truly start understanding myself and changing. it has helped me so much in ways I didn’t know journaling could help me because I always gave up after a few days but I’ve been consistently doing it for such a long time now that I could truly see the benefits of doing it. if you’re someone like me or someone who just wants to journal, I highly recommend this app. **Developer response:** We're so glad to hear Perspective has clicked with you, dreamream! Thank you for supporting and testing the app as an early beta user, and for the wonderful recommendation. Happy journaling! ### 5/5 — An amazing, intelligent app *2023-12-14* I used to write in a diary/journal a lot when I was younger, and stepped out of the practice the older I became. The busier life got, the harder it became to capture thoughts or reflect on my day. I love that this app has many ways to do just that depending on how much or little I want to say - using photos, text, or audio. But what truly separates it from other apps is the way it analyzes and organizes those entries and allows you to see moments of your life over time. **Developer response:** Totally understand the challenge of keeping a journal habit as life gets busy - it's exactly why we created Perspective. Thrilled to hear it's giving you flexible ways to capture & reflect on life! ### 5/5 — Beautiful!!! So intuitive *2023-12-14* This app is beautifully built and very intuitive. Great features **Developer response:** Thanks, cashmashrs! Hope you're enjoying our latest features and changes, too! ### 5/5 — Great app for reflecting *2023-12-13* This app is not just a journal. While it allows you to capture your thoughts and commemorate the events of your life, its strength comes through once the capturing has stopped. The app brilliantly takes your inputs and synthesizes them into something new. It provides you with a 5000 foot view, summarizing the types of thoughts and habits that fill your audio, text, and image entries. These become valuable insights, transforming the exercise of journaling by ensuring that your entries do not simply get lost in the past. **Developer response:** Love hearing how Perspective goes beyond just journaling for you & that the app's insights and summaries are adding real value to your reflections. Thanks for sharing your experience - it's exactly what we hoped to achieve! ### 5/5 — A lovely way to capture & store your memories *2023-12-06* I was looking for something easy and effortless that allowed me to capture my life/friends/family without the pressure of other people’s opinions. Over the last few months, I’ve used perspective to catalogue some of my favorite moments without judgement - so yes, that means too many dog photos, a ton of food pics, and random conversations from our days. I really appreciate that the app lets me use different mediums (audio, text, photo) to store a moment and that it reminds me to do so every night (optional). I only wish they’d add video and the ability for me to share a moment with someone else! **Developer response:** Thrilled to hear Perspective is giving you a private space to cherish life's moments with your loved ones and pets (dogs are the best)! Noted re: your suggestions for video and sharing features - stay tuned 😉 ### 5/5 — Fantastic way to reflect *2023-12-04* Perspective has provided me a new take on journaling - a way to view my own life as a story. I’ve been using it for months and there’s no other journaling mechanism quite like it. It helps me realize when my feelings become patterns worth analyzing and gives me opportunities to experience past moments in new ways. Absolutely worth downloading and trying out! **Developer response:** Thanks for the glowing recommendation, MB773! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — I wish it would support French *2024-03-05, version 0.4.4* I would gladly pay more to use OpenAI STT to allow me to be fluent in all the languages that I like to speak in. The idea seems wonder full, but I lost the two meaningful audio entries I tried to make and I’m disappointed. ### 3/5 — Insights stopped working *2024-07-07* I love this app, but all the insights it gives on a weekly basis stopped working for me, they haven’t generated in weeks now. I reached out for support but never heard anything back. Please fix this. ### 4/5 — Cool *2024-02-04* The app is cool! I like how you can expand on your thoughts. The stories feature is also pretty cool sounding. But! 😔 I won’t be able to check it out because I used up all my free trial in like 30 minutes. I really liked it that much. I ain’t got money to pay for this so I hope it gets popular enough to be completely free. Or else imma cry cuz it’s so cool but i can’t use it **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for your kind words - and for giving Perspective a try! We’re thrilled to hear you love the app. We also understand that cost can be a concern. Could you drop us a line at hello@joinperspective.com? We’re always looking to improve and your input could be invaluable. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-11-10, version 0.4.13* I can’t lie I’ve been using this app for so long I can’t rmbr even when it was just being introduced and like it’s gotten me to rmbr so many things that have happened if I could tell you to use an app it has to be this one ### 5/5 — App suggestion *2024-10-04* It would be nice if you made the app compatible with the iPad ### 5/5 — Perspective *2024-06-03* Amazing app!! Very user friendly. It helps you navigate your thoughts and feelings and redirect you. LOVE it!! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2024-04-29* Dear developers, This app is great! At first, I was critical because why should apps like these cost money? But, after gaining a trial, I began to realize why it cost some money. It has an awesome AI that will ask questions based on your replies! You can insert photos with captions and the AI will calculate your mood! Another thing I love, is how you can track your thoughts the way you can AND you can leave future notes for yourself! I have an idea! So, what about you can ask for a new question that doesn’t involve your last ‘entry’? “Refresh question.” Thanks for an amazing app, | ZAIN | P.S. Sorry for the criticism before. 😊 Update: Because of financial differences, I will not be using Perspective anymore. However, this was a great app and worth downloading. I will recommend it to others for its great value. Thank you. **Developer response:** Hey Zain, thanks for checking us out. Yes, there’s a subscription fee, but every new user gets a 7-day free trial to see if Perspective adds value to their lives. We’ve consciously chosen a subscription model because this allows us to prioritize your privacy and a better user experience - no ads, no data selling. For less than the price of a cup of coffee, we think the peace of mind and insights gained are well worth it. ### 5/5 — Best journaling app so far *2024-04-19* I’ve used Day One for a long time and I really enjoyed that it had the ability to both be encrypted and allow for access to an unencrypted diary via the web. The various formatting and data you can upload to it is super great, such as adding location and weather data, to name a few things. I’ve also used the newer Journal app by Apple and it’s okay, but can *only* be used on the iPhone (and not other Apple devices) which is a huge bummer. However, this review is not about either of those apps - this is about Perspective AI, which I am extremely impressed by - even lacking some of the features that I miss from Day One - it provides so much insight into my entries that it’s helped me maintain a flow of thought. One of the things I’ve always had issues with is remembering to write things down in my diary, and continuing on a thought process. This app allows you to provide entries via text or audio (I personally use the audio function quite a bit) and as able together from the information that you provide and figure out what you’re conveying pretty easily. It also helps that it tailors response prompts to help you continue a line of thought if you choose to do so - one of the main aspects that I thoroughly enjoy and impressed by, considering it uses of AI implementation. This app is definitely worth giving a try if you have a hard time journaling, and even if you don’t, it’s still worth trying! ### 5/5 — Favorite app *2024-04-10* I wish I had had this app growing up. It’s an amazing tool for self reflection. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2024-04-02* This app has helped me so much. It’s basically a therapist without the massive price tag. It helps you to be introspective and asks excellent, probing questions that help you explore yourself. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app for self-reflection *2024-03-06, version 0.4.4* Perspective is a beautifully designed app, great for reflecting on events in your life, noticing growth, deepening memories, and processing difficulties. Everyone should use this. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — love it *2024-02-25* Helped me a lot ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-01-27, version 0.3.0* As someone who struggles with ADHD and bad mental health, this app is very very helpful with remembering things keeping organized and not letting my life become a blur. Thank you so much for this honestly . I love how they don’t push u to buy a subscription and u can still use without paying! But I will definitely be looking into paying because the features on this app are just too good! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
