### 5/5 — App needs updated

*2025-09-20, version 1.0.3*

Journaling app is awesome and super easy to use. But it does need updated. It hasn’t had an update in four years. Please think about updating this app because I don’t wanna see it go.

### 4/5 — More options

*2023-03-24, version 1.0.3*

I love this app it has really helped with my anxiety where medication was just falling short. The only thing I would change is adding more journal prompts even casual. There’s already several, but more or occasional updates to them would be better. Also, my biggest issue with the app is I would love to be able to customize the little characters more. It my be an incentive to come back and journal more if there were some hats, additional costumes, etc.

### 5/5 — Great user interface

*2022-03-12, version 1.0.3*

The prompts are really helpful and it keeps me on track with daily journaling! And the drawings are so cute

### 5/5 — Loving it

*2021-10-03, version 1.0.3*

I am really loving this app because you can just speak into it and just see your feelings and it’s really helpful to process my grief. I like the daily reminder that it sends me it doesn’t send me extra notifications or extra blah blah blah that you don’t need it’s really nice I like it I’m gonna share the app with some friends.

### 5/5 — Great app for journaling

*2021-09-19, version 1.0.3*

It’s a super good app for journaling. I love using it to process my thoughts, feelings, and emotions. They have courses to help you learn about yourself and grow, and they have single courses to help you deal with certain things in the moment (like Negative Thoughts for example). I recommend

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2021-01-30, version 1.0.2*

It is so cute and fun! It has messages that really provide a boost to get through the day

### 5/5 — elite

*2021-01-12, version 1.0.2*

wellnest has been super helpful on my journey to mindfulness. each night before i read i reflect on my day through it’s easily navigable and simple yet engaging questions. i gain clarity each time i use it and it has shown me the importance of journaling and deeper understanding of self in a time that proves to be alienating and confusing. such a relevant app that is destined to help many along many journeys!

### 5/5 — Saved me during COVID

*2020-12-28, version 1.0.2*

This app is amazing. I am so glad I found it and was able to be a part of testing it. I have tried everything for journaling and I don’t have the space to sit and really log in my thoughts. Being able to speak my thoughts, on the go, having my morning coffee, or just walking to work was the game changer. During Covid when we were home I got to focus on this as I wanted to and it made me reflect, gave me a sounding board for myself and the Sunday review was awesome.

If you are someone who wants to journal but is on the go, has kids, doesn’t have a lot of time to sit and write, and just wants to try something new for yourself and your mind, GET THIS APP!

### 5/5 — Wonderful App

*2020-12-24, version 1.0.2*

I work in the mental healthcare industry and can’t say enough amazing things about this app. It’s great for taking a moment to reflect, with the convenience of being able to record your thoughts quickly and consistently each week. I also love the feature that allows entries to be exported to any folder within the standard iPhone notes. Simple concept with the potential to become a transformative app!

### 5/5 — My missing piece

*2020-12-16, version 1.0.2*

Wow, this is like a brief and supportive therapy session in my pocket. It’s like a hug to myself. The gentle but firm routine element is like the earth beneath me holding me. Everything about this app is perfect.
