Fine.

I don’t know what to say. It is boring but it’s fun at the same time. 🙂 ❤️

A Good Thing In Itself!

I love this app, & its latest update gives it a real glow-up - the graphics are updated, & you can now choose from a variety of pleasing colours (mine’s now a very pretty shade of light purple).

The important thing is the daily reminder to focus on good things. I find it invaluable to be reminded to take a few minutes to think about what’s gone well, and to be thankful for all of it (especially today, when internet connection woes had put me in a bad mood till this app reminded me to look for the good things. And when I did, I realised just what a good day it’s been overall!).

I do encourage you to try it! It can do a lot for your morale 😊

Good

This is a really good app. Great to read back on when you feeling low and keeps you focused on the positive.
The only criticisms I will make is that the word count is too limited and it won’t let you delete anything. If you try then what you deleted just pops back again when you reopen it.

Love the new update

A long time user of this app across multiple iPhone and I’ve never seen an update before so loving this fresh new look

Easy and rewarding

I appreciate the reminders that gently prod me to list the good things in my life every day.
