User reviews
After the redesign, the entire app is slower. Loading. New days from the main screen requires a page refresh and recently it slowed to a near crawl. In my opinion, this change was unnecessary. I recognize that that is just my opinion. However. I would like to see the loading issues changed. I assumed this was my old phone but I now have the new pixel pro and it persists. Would love to see an update resolving this and I will change back to a five star. In the meantime, I'm back to the book

This has been a great app for a while but the last update added some features that seem like they would be nice. Unfortunately they regularly do not save my morning or evening entries. So I'm left believing that I've entered my journal but then I discover at my next session that my work was not saved.

One of my favorite and most consistently used apps. Have been using almost daily for many years. I can honestly say simply using this app with consistency will make your life better. You will be happier as you are always thinking of things that you are grateful for. I also love the ability to post photos daily. It makes a great chronicle and also reminds me to take pictures of good moments while they happen so I have them to pay in the journal. 5 ⭐
