It is boring but it’s fun at the same time. 🙂 ❤️ ### 4/5 — Good *2026-07-12, version 2.1* 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. ### 5/5 — So simple- so effective. *2026-01-23, version 1.1* Clever little app that gets the job done without all the bells and whistles. Focus on daily gratitude, get a daily reminder. Love the ability to look back on the ‘journal’. Thank you for this app! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2025-08-10, version 1.1* Thank you for making this app free. It’s very simple, but exactly what I was looking for. ### 5/5 — Grateful for gratitude *2024-05-07, version 1.1* Love the simplicity and the positive benefits from regular use of this app. I could do it without the app, but this app helped me make being grateful a virtue. ### 5/5 — Great reminder *2024-04-26, version 1.1* This app helps me remember to focus on the things that are going well 😃 ### 5/5 — Outstanding! *2024-04-21, version 1.1* I just downloaded this app and I am impressed by it’s simplicity as well as its exceptional features. I would definitely recommend giving it a go! ### 5/5 — FANTASTIC app! *2023-11-30, version 1.1* It is SO much fun to go back in the history of the app and re-read things I was happy about 5+ years ago. This an excellent app for personal use and to suggest to other people for them to cultivate a more positive outlook. ### 5/5 — Positive change in my life *2023-11-25, version 1.1* You will love this app. Makes u feel happy to reflect on good things. First couple days it can be hard but then u have so many happy things it’s hard to choose. Try it you will love it. ### 5/5 — Amazing and simple! *2023-09-14, version 1.1* This is by far, one of the BEST apps I’ve ever had! I have the daily reminder turned on, and set for 8:30pm (right after I put my kiddos to bed), and it’s the perfect time to reflect on my day. So much of the time, life is crazy and hectic, and the daily grind takes a major toll on me. It’s all too easy to focus all of the negative things happening to/around us. But this app “forces” you to reflect on all of the POSITIVE things—even if it’s just the small things, and is always the perfect way to end the day! I really struggle with depression and anxiety, and it tends to get the best of me. Even though I don’t want to or mean to, I find myself engulfed in negativity and negative thoughts. But when my phone “dings” every night at 8:30, and a notification pops up that says, “What are 3 good things that happened today?” I immediately find myself snapping out of that, and mind retraces my day, ONLY thinking of all the POSITIVES! Some days I have a hard time coming up with three, other days I have a hard time ONLY choosing three. This app is SUPER simple to navigate and use, and that makes it that much better! There’s zero confusion about how to work it, and it’s very straightforward. I have nothing but things to say about this app! Thank you SO very much for creating this app—I can’t even imagine just how many people it is helping. 😍 ### 5/5 — Do this! *2023-09-07, version 1.1* Focusing on the positive and feeling grateful leads to peace and happiness. And this app makes it so simple to do! ### 5/5 — Gratitude for this App *2023-08-01, version 1.1* Refreshing! An app developer created this app to help people and not profit from it. There’s no advertising or push marketing. It’s a simple app that reminds us to reflect on three good things about today and focus on the positive. Thank you! 🙏💫 ### 4/5 — Three good things review *2023-01-30, version 1.1* I really like this app because it helps you think about the positive things going on in your life instead of focusing on the negative things. ### 5/5 — Very useful *2022-11-29, version 1.1* Simple clear clean app. Very useful. ### 4/5 — Great app *2022-11-25, version 1.1* Great for trying to notice positives. Especially for understanding emotions. This app is really useful. Also really glad it’s free as I wouldn’t be able to use it if it wasn’t. ### 5/5 — great app *2022-10-26, version 1.1* this app is so good exactly what it says it does fabulous just fabulous ### 5/5 — It’s the small things *2022-10-18, version 1.1* I think this is a very simple app that makes me appreciate my life a bit more. I think it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the negativity in the world. It only takes a few minutes out of your day to record a few thoughts and makes you think about your life. Thank you very much for making it free and creating such a nice app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Boring *2026-05-30, version 1.1* Boring boring but greatness ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-01-16, version 1.1* The app crashes every time I double-click to select my entry. It refuses to let me select the text despite multiple attempts. This issue must be fixed. ### 1/5 — History lost *2021-05-18, version 1.1* The app lost all of my history. Years worth. Disappointing I have no way of saving memories. Back to old school journaling ### 1/5 — Contents cannot be deleted at all *2021-02-26, version 1.1* Anything you wrote in these journal entries can not be deleted. This could end up being hacked abs shared with many others and not that bad things are written but there should always be a way to permanently delete and remove your information and account. This is not a good option for privacy. I don’t suggest using this app if you value privacy ### 1/5 — Someone help *2019-07-05, version 1.1* Ok I was gonna get this app and I’m singed in on my mums acc and when I pressed install it said something about a payment but the app is free someone help ### 2/5 — Privacy concern *2022-02-27, version 1.1* I downloaded this app because I like the idea behind the app. I noticed that the developer has not provided details about their privacy practices and how they handle data to Apple. I won’t use the app until privacy gets addressed. ### 2/5 — Good but don’t like the guilt trip *2020-07-27* Since this is supposed to be a gratitude journal, I feel like there shouldn’t be any guilt or obligation attached to it. But it has a counter, that tells you how many days in a row you’ve written your 3 things. This seems counterproductive to me. If I’m having a good day, and don’t get to writing until 12:01am, the counter resets. Only have 2 things because the day wasn’t great and you struggled to find 2 things? Counter resets. So then, you’re having a bad day, and the app makes you feel like a loser. Also, only 100 characters. Good idea, but if I can find something better I’ll be switching. **Developer response:** Thank you for explaining how the counter affected your experience. The app has since been completely redesigned, and we’d be glad to have you try the latest version. ### 3/5 — Can’t Look Back at ‘All Time’ Memories *2022-10-11, version 1.1* I really enjoy the app, but am frustrated that I can’t read my entries from ‘All Time’. When I select this option, the app just cuts out. Is there anyway around this? Otherwise I’ve lost 2 years of entries 🙁. I’ve emailed the developer but heard nothing back. ### 3/5 — Too few characters *2020-11-25, version 1.1* I’ve only been using for a week now but find myself every day wishing there were more character space to write my gratitudes down. Giving a short explanation why things “went good” would need a little perspective. I’d like to be able to look back at a later date and have perspective on the reasons I wrote what I did at the time. I’ll definitely look for a different app that allows more “journaling” ### 3/5 — Great App but... *2020-07-06, version 1.1* The consistency tracking is confusing and there is no explanation. What are XP points? And “Next Level” of what? 🤔 Otherwise it’s a simple app that serves its purpose very well. Especially like the daily reminder. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brings a positive perspective *2026-08-13, version 2.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Should come with every iPhone *2026-08-07, version 2.1.2* 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. ### 5/5 — A Good Thing In Itself! *2026-07-16, version 2.1.1* 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 😊 ### 5/5 — Love the new update *2026-07-10, version 2.1* A long time user of this app across multiple iPhone and I’ve never seen an update before so loving this fresh new look ### 5/5 — Easy and rewarding *2026-06-12, version 1.1* I appreciate the reminders that gently prod me to list the good things in my life every day. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-05-30, version 1.1* Easy to use, love the reminder you can set to do your entries. A nice simple app and completely free! ### 5/5 — Three Good Things - A Happiness Journay *2026-05-15, version 1.1* Three Good Things - A Happiness Journal is a fantastic way to track the good things in life! Simple, straightforward and easy to use. Kudos to the developer for publishing this very helpful and useful application. Thank you! ### 5/5 — simple to use *2026-03-07, version 1.1* The more I’m present to gratitude, the more promising life appears. An easy investment in lifting my spirits and refocusing my attention to the blessings in my life, big and small. ### 5/5 — Love this app so much *2026-02-24, version 1.1* Thank you for making this simple, effective app. I was wondering, is there any way for me to export my entries to text or CSV? ### 5/5 — Good Things *2026-01-28, version 1.1* I started this in Covid lockdown in Melbourne - have now completed 1957 days .. nearly 6000 good things acknowledged. Life is good when you look for it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
