### 1/5 — Giving one more chance to not be stupid.

*2021-07-01*

My first question was “what did you eat today”. Was hoping for something better that actually inspired thought. Hate it so far.

**Developer response:** Hello there! I'm sorry you are unhappy with the prompts. There are several other prompt packages available in Settings that you can switch to. Please feel free to reach out to us at jess@tinythoughts.me if you have any concerns.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2021-05-05*

I love the different daily questions that are asked. Only problem when you can export you don’t get the questions.

**Developer response:** Got an update for ya! The prompts are now available in the export. Thanks again for your feedback and please don't hesitate to reach out to jess@tinythoughts.me if you have more feedback or ideas.

### 5/5 — Perfect App

*2021-03-08*

Really like this app. For me, what I struggled with was the pressure of writing a diary every day. With this app, it allows you to build the momentum and habit. If you just need to get something down, you can. If you are more in the mood and want to make something deeper or poetic you also can. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2021-03-06*

Best program ever!!!

### 5/5 — Handy to capture your daily thoughts!

*2020-04-29*

I’ve actually been enjoying this app a lot. I used to have a physical daily prompt journal that reminds me of this app. However, this app makes it much more convenient. Plus I love the daily alerts to remind you to use the app. Overall, if you just wanna have a nice handy way to record your thoughts then you should get this app. Although you are given an allotted number of words per day it helps to keep you on task and gives you sweet little blurbs from each day.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2020-04-27*

It's AMAZING, I LOVE the prompts and it helps me get my thoughts out

### 5/5 — Just in Time

*2020-01-28*

I was just contemplating picking up a journal app and I’m thrilled to stumble across this one.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-01-07*

This app makes it fun and easy to record daily thoughts & notes. Works great as a gratitude journal as well!
