Rating it
It’s interesting. They’re asking me to rate the app before I’ve even used it. I would probably have a better idea of what the app can do once I have used it.
Doesn’t work and you steal money
This app was not working g I did not sign up for the yearly subscription and you pulled money out of my account causing an overdraft. So now I have a year of your ‘services’ , no account because I deleted it and no response from your customer service about refunding my money. I am a single mother of a minor child who has a chronic illness and we live on a very fixed income….I want my money back and you need to do it NOW! Never in my life have I ever dealt with such a horrible experience!

Be careful
Thought I was downloading the free version. I’m sad that I paid so much money for this app.
Waste of money
Trying to cancel but it’s impossible! Had to call my bank
Amazing!
Really good for getting to know your family and friends better plus you get fun and exiting questions!
PREVIOUS TITLE - forever one of my favorite apps
UPDATE: i suppose all good things must come to an end… it is now very distinctly a “freemium” app, with a cost that increases with the number of journals you have—since i raved so much about the app, i had tons of journals, and the unlimited tier is more than i can afford. none of my friends or family or coworkers are willing to pay that much either, so unfortunately we no longer use the app. i’d give it zero stars if i could.
i’ve tried a LOT of journaling apps… probably 97% of the free ones 😅 this is by far THE best one, for so many reasons. i love the concept of a shared journal—i had been keeping a shared note with my friend, but it wasn’t really as efficient as i thought it would be. my mom and i used to have this tiny mailbox that we would leave notes in for each other, and this is exactly that. now that we no longer live together, this is perfect. it’s simple to use, even she can figure it out 😂 it’s beautifully designed and works perfectly. i honestly can’t believe how lovely it is, and it doesn’t even have any ads! there’s no “catch,” this isn’t one of those “freemium” apps that ultimately require a purchase to be any good. that said, now that i have had the privilege of experiencing the app, i’m actually more willing to pay a little to help support them than if i had been forced to do it in order to fully enjoy the app’s features. sato, the developer, is so incredibly nice and uses feedback to immediately improve the app. i love that i’m able to text him for any (app-related) support needed; i work all day, and texting is SO much more convenient than trying to navigate an online form or finding the time for a phone call. overall, i love how waffle allows me to stay in the loop about my friends’ and family’s lives. i work crazy hours and i don’t want to wake people up when i get home at 3 in the morning, but i love to read about their day and the little things they couldn’t share while i was working, or give my thoughts on something when they ask for advice. i also like to share a funny story from work or leave a picture of my cat 😁 it’s really nice that there’s no pressure to write out long entries cataloging every detail of the day; you can interact with it when you have the time and energy, instead of feeling obligated to answer a text right away. and for the days when you want to reach out but just don’t know what to talk about, there is even a list of prompts to choose from!!! this is genuinely one of the best apps i’ve ever had and will stay on my phone forever. thank you sato! 🧇

Not Sure Yet
Just longing on to get started. It has already asked for a large payment and I haven’t even started
Not free
I thought this was a free app, but it’s making you only get a seven day trial for free

Journal
Won’t let me continue
Will update if it’s not behind a paywall
Good
Good, fun app-good for family talking or other things. wish you didn’t have to pay for plus tho.
Takes forever
To set up. 20 questions. Forced me to rate the app before even telling me what it costs.
Haven’t used yet
Haven’t even used it yet and it’s asking to be rated. The concept is cool.
Careful before they take your $$$
Actually a decent app but not for the price and definitely not after how they go about the 7 day free trial…account charged $50 on day 6. I’ll take partial blame as I wouldn’t have even signed up had I paid more attention as I usually skip free trials that auto charge. But, I could have unsubscribed still on day 6 but they charged before the time was up?

Buggy
So I went through the process of creating a journal and subscribing and sending a link to the other members of my family, but then the link didn't work and my login didn't work either. Frustrating.
Money
It makes u think it’s totally free. And then. There goes the 7day trial bs
Freezes during signup and you lose everything.
I thought this would be great for me and my daughter. I signed up. Did the free trial. Created a journal. Sent her the code. Went to enter a password to create account and it froze. Had to hard shut down the app and start again from the beginning. Did it all again, sent her a new code, and the thing crashed again when I tapped in the password field. I deleted the app and cancelled the subscription. This is basic user testing and regression testing that failed and made me not trust their app. Ask for the info upfront so all that progress isn’t lost or fix your flow.

Underwhelmed
I really thought this would be something at least appearing to herniate of deeper conversation/emotions/memories/growth anything at all but it’s just basic questions reframed to day, week, month timelines and a smattering of “what was the best/worst of your past from a certain topic you want to share” really? We haven’t gotten past that level yet? Do you even know each other if you haven’t answered those basic questions? The whole point is to offer another perspective into each other as individuals and how you come together… maybe this is better suited to people who need help just asking the basic getting to know you questions but if you’ve been in a relationship with anyone for a while and had all of the talks you normally would, this isn’t going to help you at all.

Response from developer
Thank you for the honest feedback! We hear you, when you've been together a while, you want to dive straight into the deep stuff. To work for all couples, we offer a mix of standard and personalized questions. The more you journal, the more those personalized questions will adapt to your relationship. We hope you'll stick with it and watch them evolve.
Way too expensive
$50 is pretty steep for a journal app.
Key
Didn’t know it cost
