  Great App Overall

  I love using this app daily and been doing so for many years! I think being able to customize the prompts is wonderful. My ongoing frustration is with pictures one adds with their entries. If you click on them to see the larger version, many times they won’t appear; you will just see a black screen. If the picture is from a few years ago, it won’t come up at all. This is disappointing because when a memory from 5, 7 years comes up, I would love to see the visual memory that’s attached. That’s why I take time to attach photos to every single entry. Hopefully, that glitch is resolved in the near future. Other than that, love the app!

  Eva

  Wasn’t sure what to think of the new Eva feature at first, but now I can’t start my day without her feedback and questions. Forces me to be more detailed and specific, and feel like I can start my day with more actionable items. Love!

  AI Integration anytime soon?

  Love this app - I have been using it for years. Recently something came up on the app where I was having a conversation with an Ai agent… the name may have been Eve. I loved it! Then the feature went away! Please bring it back. It was a good added option.

  Lost Most Of My Journal Entries

  Support took 4 days to respond. I followed the steps they provided, including signing out and signing back in. Unfortunately, I have now lost most of my journal entries. I have not heard back from support in 8 days now.

  Daily highlight

  I have been using the five minute journal for the last six years and it has absolutely changed my life in my attitude of gratitude!

• ★★★★★MinPaloAlto

  Life enhancing gratitude

  I start and finish the day with this app. Love how after more than a decade of using it gives me glimpses and photos of my e.g. "day five years ago" offering insight into how my mind worked and revolved at the time and how i’ve changed. Love the ability to add meaningful photography to entries and the daily quote. It's an investment into your mental health and wellbeing.

  Needs Accessibility Work

  Overall, this is an awesome app, and I plan on getting it back into my regular schedule. I love how the journaling sections are separated by morning and evening, as well as the organization of the prompts! Also, I love the challenges and quotes provided. However, the mood feature has been inaccessible with VoiceOver the entire time I have used it, which has been several years. Furthermore, some of the buttons appear to be unclearly labeled or not labeled at all now particularly in the sections related to writing an entry. This makes it difficult to know where the button to continue is and what some of the features are. Overall, though, I would recommend this app to almost anyone!
