Great App

Great free app. No ads. Very well set up with ease of use and several useful features.
I use it as a great positive journaling site. Love it!

Great App!

Great simple app to support this evidence based tool. I typically use it at night before bed so it would be great if there was a night mode/dark mode to make it easier on the eyes. Hopefully that can be an option in future version, that’s my only critique, otherwise would have rated 5 stars!

It’s cool

Brings a positive perspective

I have been using this app for years; I genuinely find myself looking for my three good things throughout the day. A real positive mindset shift.

Should come with every iPhone

I downloaded this app about 8 years ago at the lowest part of my life. My child was attempting suicide almost weekly. It was an awful time. I read so much about mental health that i knew i had to take care of mine too. And then this app appeared. By finding 3 good things in my life, i have been able to reflect on the positive. Sometimes i fill out the three things with my kids, sometimes alone, and sometimes i just record one or two. I don't do it everyday. And i LOOOOVVEEE looking back at older entries. I've shared this app with all of the important people in my life. This app creates gratitude and joy and positivity. I wish i could give it more stars. Thank you for creating this app.
