### 4/5 — So great!!! More quotes should be available

*2026-08-19, version 5.0.4*

I absolutely love this app! It’s very helpful, and helps relieve stress. Although, I don’t understand why so many quote themes are unavailable. I use a few of the themes and they have helped me to stay motivated and to deal with anxiety better, but there are a lot of things, like dealing with break-ups, stress, and more that shouldn’t have to be paid for. If you made this app to help with this stuff, then the resources should be available to all. Yes keep some to be paid for with your premium plan or whatever it’s called, but at least near half should be available completely.

### 2/5 — Not for me

*2026-05-22, version 5.0.2*

Just feels like lots of quotes and then suggested I buy someone I don’t know a coffee? Odd, sorry!

### 3/5 — Mostly great

*2026-03-12, version 4.15.1*

Would be nice if notifications worked consistently and if you could schedule multiple notifications per day

### 3/5 — good app but my premium not working

*2025-12-23, version 4.15.0*

i’d give 5 stars but i paid $30 for the app to not work pleeease fix or refund bcuz the chart is t working. i paid but i still can’t see my charts. i used to use this app when i was down and seeing a chart if my mood helped a lot but now it doesn’t work for some reason. idk if it’s apple or the app but the chart screen is glitched for me

### 4/5 — Using it for years now

*2025-12-03, version 4.15.0*

This app has been my diary off&on for years now. This app has really helped me recognize my mental health patterns and become more self-aware. Admittedly I use it inconsistently but the daily check-ins & reading my old ones help me become more stable whenever I’m in an unstable time. The tags you can use on each entry is super helpful. Sometimes I’m not sure what else to say but “Ugh” “Meh” but having the tags I can explain more what I mean without actually having to. Which is super helpful when you’re reading whatever you wrote months ago😅 I love the selection of quotes they have!

### 4/5 — PLEASE

*2025-11-17, version 4.14.5*

I love this app but I have paid for Premium and it still is not allowing me to access Premium features. I contacted the support team but I never got a response. It makes me think this is a scam. It’s frustrating because I paid £19.99.

### 4/5 — Pretty great

*2025-11-14, version 4.14.5*

I love the app, but I don't want to pay for it, but on the other hand it actually  makes my day better so I recommend  it!

### 2/5 — Erased

*2025-11-11, version 4.14.5*

Journaled almost daily for two years and it logged me out and wont let me sign back in so i js lost everything

### 3/5 — Eh...

*2025-10-22, version 4.14.5*

I’d give it a 5 star rate if I was able to deactivate my account's plan

### 3/5 — Traduzam o app

*2025-09-23*

Coloquem em português Brasil

### 2/5 — Love it but the purchased upgrades do not work

*2025-09-16, version 4.14.4*

Don’t get me wrong I LOVE this app. However don’t purchase the subscription. I purchased it in 2020 but for some reason I still get the pop ups every time I open the app telling me to upgrade. I even tried repurchasing the upgrade but the pop up remained. I’ve emailed the support team in Feb and July 2025 but haven’t heard back from anyone…

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-04-22, version 4.15.1*

So bad do not download trust me it’s so low quality and it crashes your device

### 1/5 — AI is discriminatory

*2026-03-08, version 4.15.1*

The AI is horrible with LGBTQ related entries. It’s discriminatory, harmful, and the opposite of what a journal touting mental health support should be aiming for. But clearly there’s a huge anti-LGBTQ AI push here.

### 1/5 — Bad customer service

*2026-01-29, version 4.15.0*

Non response !!

### 1/5 — Paying for Nothing???

*2026-01-28, version 4.15.0*

I really loved this app and have been using it for almost 8 years, so I decided to upgrade to the premium version as I felt I would only enjoy it more. But after purchasing, none of the premium features were unlocked. It just kept telling me I had to upgrade to premium to access them. I ended up emailing customer their customer service with screen shots proving that I did subscribe but was still not gaining access to the features. I got no response. This was a year ago and I’ve barely touched the app since. I reported the charge as fraud to get my money back since I never heard anything back. I’m writing this review now because I recently opened the app and was prompted once again to upgrade to premium. I still have no reply to my email a year later.

### 1/5 — Weird Anti Vaxxer quote

*2026-01-23, version 4.15.0*

I got a quote from the general category from Jenny McCarthy who said she looks at autism like a bus accident, and that you don’t become cured but can recover. I thought the quote was a bit weird so I did some research. After looking her up, I found out she herself doesn’t have autism, but her son does, and she promotes the idea that vaccines cause autism. I’ve had this app for a few years and have gotten a few weird quotes, but this is the one that’s making me delete it. I look for inspiration or funny quotes, not weird anti vaxxer opinions. I know I’m just one person and my one uninstall doesn’t matter, but I just thought I’d share.

### 1/5 — Nothing

*2025-12-29, version 4.15.0*

Waste of money

### 1/5 — “Could not sign in for an unknown reason.”

*2025-12-02, version 4.15.0*

I was going to wait some more till I trusted this app and because I usually don’t write reviews. This could not wait—especially after membership purchase. I have been using this smart journal fine until today. I was really starting to use this more and about to recommend. Oh the disappointment. I read there is a new update, but has made the login for returning users bricked. I was randomly logged out and I didn’t even know it but the journal and quotes to me to the app fine. Additionally I went to see the developer website and support help. It’s a bad joke: the submit button is fake! I can’t even contact the support team on their own official support website looking cool and all, even mentioned here. IDK how others are having positive exp. still.

### 1/5 — Thievery

*2025-11-30, version 4.14.5*

Thievery

I once was a big fan of this app — in fact, all the apps from this developer. Then they got greedy. 

￼Their Growth Bundle provided reasonable pricing for all of their apps and I've been a subscriber for five years. But my recently-renewed subscription is no longer active in any but one of the 10 apps I use ￼— and I'm being gouged to the tune of $340+ every year if I want to continue using them.

Developer support is nonexistent; my email messages are￼ being ignored. ￼Given the plethora of reasonably-priced apps that do what this app does, you're better off looking someplace else. 

And now it’s impossible to log in.

### 1/5 — berbat kullanmayın sakın

*2025-10-12, version 4.14.5*

uygulamayı 6 yıldır kullanıyordum ve bir sürü yazım vardı ama şu an hiçbiri yok. Hiçbir şey görünmüyor, hepsi gitmiş, kullanmayın.

### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish,

*2025-10-02, version 4.14.4*

poorly built and really glitchy. Doesn’t give advice wants photos which is suss. It like a programmers Friday afternoon special.

### 5/5 — Simple. Beautiful. Lovely

*2026-08-01, version 5.0.4*

I keep coming back to this app because it just makes me feel good. The prompts are interesting and making an entry never feels like something I have to do. I also use flourish for acute problems, but Reflectly is for me <3 Thank you

### 5/5 — Best journaling app

*2026-06-07, version 5.0.3*

This is the best journaling app for free I have ever seen. It’s super interactive very clean and simple. Good expression options and knowing how you truly felt in a moment being able to get it out and have it saved the good and the bad

### 5/5 — Fantastic Journal App

*2026-01-17, version 4.15.0*

I have used Reflectly for years. The free version is very good and I highly recommend it to people I know! I love the daily reflections, and how the check ins track your mood and what’s going on in life. It’s super easy to use and also somehow I like it better than journaling in a notebook nowadays. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2025-11-08, version 4.14.5*

Really nice to have. Easy to use.

### 5/5 — User Friendly

*2025-10-11, version 4.14.5*

Simple to learn and assess the features that may work for you. It’s a very easily navigable app and user - friendly for all. 

I also love the motivational quotes throughout the day!

### 5/5 — I love this app!!

*2025-08-19, version 4.14.4*

I love how this app gives you quotes and how you can check in with it and the daily challenges. One thing is can you make that there are more than one daily challenge. If yes that would be awesome. Thank you for the app I love it ❤️
