Absolutely love this app!

Brilliant app. So easy to use, get daily reminders. The voice option is great because you literally say whatever you are thinking/feeling. The summary puts it into perspective and then gives you options.
I need to explore the app more but just the basics are so worthwhile and helpful.

Response from developer

so glad it's clicking for you, thanks for taking the time to write this. the voice option is one we keep working on, and there's plenty more in there once you go exploring.

Clunky

The coach mode even on a paid subscription just Office generic advice times out after five minutes and you can’t continue that conversation

I think you’re better off using an LLM directly

Response from developer

sorry it's landing that way, and thanks for being blunt about it. one thing worth knowing: coach sessions run about nine and a half minutes, so the five minute mark is just the heads up that time's running down, and you can start another one right after. the generic advice part is a fair hit and it's something we're working on now.

Great for reflection

I have been journaling now for over a year, and have moved to reflection from another app. Much prefer reflection, which gives great reviews, weekly and monthly, giving a chance to look back over a period of time. I never though after a year i would be journaling every day after this period of time. Also enjoying it and its also helping with the niggling anxiety and SAD at this time of year. Love the app

Response from developer

so glad it's stuck, and a year of journaling every day is brilliant. the weekly and monthly look backs are something we keep polishing, so it's good to hear they're landing. hope it helps you through the dark months.

So far so good

Good app easy to use, I like the options for the journal reflection, coaching and the ability to upload photos etc.

Response from developer

so glad it's been easy to get going with, thanks for taking the time to write this. the coaching side especially is one we keep refining 🙏

Looks good of the first view

I think it’s a good app when you take the premium version.
My biggest problem with this app is that she hasn’t German as a language inside.

Response from developer

thanks for this, and glad the app is landing well for you otherwise. the interface is english only for now, though the AI does answer in whatever language you write in, so german entries come back in german. a german interface is on our list, no date to give you yet.

Love how I can adjust to my preferences easily

I didn’t trying a few journaling apps and really not been satisfied with many or any of them. I’m really enjoying reflection so far. I like that I can journal several different ways. I like that there are several different ways to get prompts and I like that there are coaching tips that I can reflect on and I’m looking forward to seeing how this app’s going to help me reflect on my disability and the loss of my physical and mental health to permanent injury and disability so I can adjust to having a better quality of life

Response from developer

so glad it's clicking for you, and thanks for taking the time to write all that. being able to journal a few different ways is the bit we most want to get right, so it's good to hear that's landing. wishing you well with everything you're working through.

Lovely app

I’ve recently returned to this app and I think it’s a great tool. Really good prompts that help me unpick things and the AI summaries and tips feel useful and sensible - not being a cheerleader who thinks I’m wonderful like ChatGPT that can end up muddying thoughts a bit more! I’m not sure if it’s just my laptop needs turning off and on again but the desktop version seems pretty glitchy though.

Response from developer

so glad you came back to it, and thanks for writing this up. the desktop glitchiness isn't your laptop, we've got a report open on it and we're working through it.

Great

Enjoying using this app xo

Response from developer

so glad you're enjoying it, and thanks for taking a moment to say so. xo right back 🙏

Helpful

Like the format and the guides

Response from developer

so glad the format and the guides are clicking for you, thanks for taking the time to write this. hope it keeps being useful.

Toll, aber mit Luft nach oben bei der Barrierefreiheit

Vorweg, ich habe mich trotz allem für Lifetime entschieden, weil das die erste App war, deren KI-Funktionen tatsächlich funktionieren - die Folgefragen sind treffend und hilfreich, es wird nicht nur widergekäut, was ich gesagt habe, sondern man han das Gefühl, dass es verstanden wurde.

Leider sind die Menüs für blinde Menschen wie mich nicht vollständig zugänglich - Voiceover, Apple's Screenreader, kann wohl nicht alle Punkte anspringen. Leider stürzt Voiceover bei der Stimmaufnahme auch ab bzch. wird was die Sprachausgabe sagt mit transkribiert. Das ist schade, denn die voice-Funktion war mit ein Grund, diese App zu kaufen.

Obwohl ich bereits für lifetime bezahlt habe, wäre es schön, wenn man für mich und künftige Nutzer an der Barrierefreiheit feilen könnte.

Response from developer

danke dass du dir die zeit genommen hast, das so genau aufzuschreiben. die drei voiceover-punkte sind beim team, vor allem dass die sprachausgabe selbst im transkript landet. das sollte so nicht sein und wir schauen es uns an.

Pushy for premium sub

The onboarding almost made me sign up to their annual plan. Especially as I’m new and learning to navigate the app. Not a good first impression and hopefully things get better from here on end

Response from developer

sorry the onboarding came across as a hard sell, that's fair and i've passed it on. there's a close button in the corner of that screen if it comes up again, and you can journal on the free plan without paying. hope it gets better from here.

So far so good

Loving it

Response from developer

thanks for this, glad it's clicking so far. if anything comes up or there's something you wish it did, hello@reflection.app reaches us.

So far so good☺️

Its a perfect journal to keep track of things for me. I love that the AI gives insight on my patterns. It helps me understand myself better. I am quite the writer so getting feedback and summaries of my entries is helpful to me and helps me organize my innerworld.

Fantastic App

I've been looking for an app just like this for some time, where I can either type or speak my thoughts and get some good feedback. The templates are great, and if there's anybody looking for a journal that is more thoughtful and grows with you, then this is the app that you need to have.

Easy to use

I am just starting out with journaling and it has never really been my thing, but having this on your phone and having it be so easy to use has been helpful in keeping up with it so far. Excited to see where this take me.

Great so far

I usually use chat but I love the prompting options on this.

Great feedback, Desktop needs help

This app is the best response app I have used. Writing down what I am going through and having it respond with what I am feeling is mind blowing. It takes all my jumbled thoughts and emotions and types it out in plain English exactly what I am trying to explain…

Off to a great start

I could see the value in the premium version but I need to be a bit more consistent before pulling the trigger
