Our Story Thankful was created during a deeply personal time. Our brother faced a 7-year battle with cancer, and through it all, he chose gratitude. He showed us that even in life’s hardest moments, there is always something to be thankful for. That belief became the foundation of this app. We’re grateful you’re here.

Gentle reminder to look for the good. The new updates look inviting. Sadly, the app keeps crashing….. please fix soon!! **Developer response:** Hello, Mamsie9. Thank you for your feedback and for reaching out via support@eddystreetproductions.com. I wanted to follow up and let you know that a new version of Thankful is now available in the App Store. This update includes a fix for the crashing issue you experienced. When you have a moment, please update the app and let me know if everything is working smoothly again. Your entries are safe, and things should return to normal once you’re on the latest version. Thank you again for your patience and for sharing Thankful with others. It truly means a lot. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Supportive *2025-04-21* I like that the app reminds you to focus on what you’re grateful for. It also gives you a place to take the time and write it down. This is a good thing for me to be doing right now; so I highly recommend this to anyone who realizes that Gratitude is a huge key to having a better life. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app, always a good reminder. *2024-01-28* As a friend of the Goade’s, this app truly is amazing! It’s incredibly simple and full of fun secrets, cannot recommend it enough! ### 3/5 — Intéressant mais seulement en anglais *2023-01-01, version 3.3.0* L’application est intéressante mais contrairement à la description, elle n’est disponible qu’en anglais. ### 2/5 — Photos *2022-09-28* Every image is gone. Response to devs: Thank you for responding and explaining! I know it did it once many years ago when I had deleted a picture in my Photo Album myself 😅 but I knew I hadn't deleted the pictures that were gone in the app this time. I'm adding back a star for the quick response and because other than that, the app is good. I'll add back more once there's a fix for the photo issue. ☺️ **Developer response:** Dear Biyxtren, We apologize for a decision we made long ago to store a link to pictures instead of saving the pictures within our app. We didn’t realize the link to pictures would change with an iPhone upgrade or replacement. We are working as fast as we can to correct this particular decision (and problem), and are fairly close to releasing an update. We encourage you to seek a refund through Apple Support, and hope you’ll be willing to try Thankful again after our next update, which will store the photos in the app (and will in addition sync across all Apple devices). Again, we are very sorry about the current photos feature. Your photos are safely in your Photo Library, however, so your photos are safe. Thankful (version 3.3.0 and earlier) only stored a link to your photos. If you have any further comments or suggestions, please contact support@eddystreetproductions.com. ### 1/5 — Frustrating app *2022-01-10* I have used this app every day for several years & previously enjoyed the simplicity of it. However, over the past year, the app changes the date after I have completed my journaling, and it will not allow me to revert to the proper date! Sometimes, it shows 3 “Saturdays” in a row, or pulls up journaling I’ve done months ago! So frustrating! I’m going to find a better app that is more reliable. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to send us feedback. We're sorry that you are experiencing the problem you describe, and we hope to have a fix for the issue in our next update. While we work on fixing the issue, you should be able to edit the date of your journal entry once it is saved. Also, if the list jumps to entries from months ago, refreshing the list (pull-down to refresh), it should display your most recent journal entries. Again, we're sorry for the inconvenience and we hope to provide a better experience for you soon! We are #thankful for you! If you have any further feedback or questions or comments, please let us know at support@eddystreetproductions.com. ### 1/5 — Pictures moved *2020-12-12, version 3.3.0* Have used this app for a few years and now says sorry pictures have been moved and asked to re attach the picture.
