1. [R4] Reflectly 1/5 · US Paying for Nothing???: I really loved this app and have been using it for almost 8 years, so I decided to upgrade to the premium version as I felt I would only enjoy it more. But after purchasing, none of the premium features were unlocked. It just kept telling me I had to upgrade to premium to access them. I ended up emailing customer their customer service with screen shots proving that I did su
2. [R6] Reflectly 3/5 · US good app but my premium not working: i’d give 5 stars but i paid $30 for the app to not work pleeease fix or refund bcuz the chart is t working. i paid but i still can’t see my charts. i used to use this app when i was down and seeing a chart if my mood helped a lot but now it doesn’t work for some reason. idk if it’s apple or the app but the chart screen is glitched for me
3. [R13] Reflectly 1/5 · US “Could not sign in for an unknown reason.”: I was going to wait some more till I trusted this app and because I usually don’t write reviews. This could not wait, especially after membership purchase. I have been using this smart journal fine until today. I was really starting to use this more and about to recommend. Oh the disappointment. I read there is a new update, but has made the login for ret
4. [R31] Reflectly 2/5 · US can't restore purchase: bought lifetime in August 2024, been less than a year and now i can't restore my purchase.
5. [R3] Reflectly 3/5 · US Mostly great: Would be nice if notifications worked consistently and if you could schedule multiple notifications per day
6. [R19] Reflectly 2/5 · US Erased: Journaled almost daily for two years and it logged me out and wont let me sign back in so i js lost everything
7. [R36] Reflectly 3/5 · US Great but: Ok the app is wonderful but when I was editing my profile I accidentally clicked log out or something and it immediately logged me out of everything, no warning or nothing just in a split second and I had tons of stuff on there and i sometimes used it for writing so if you could put a small warning for log out that would be great
8. [R39] Reflectly 3/5 · US Lots of bugs and glitches: I like this app a lot but it tends to glitch out. Does not notify me like it’s supposed too and does not save my settings. It does not seem to run consistently or be up kept by the creators.
9. [R15] Reflectly 3/5 · US Updates: It would be good if there was a way we can share out account or updates/ Reflectly diary with our therapists. I love how I can journal each day and attach my moods to it. I don’t like that customer support never responds.
10. [R18] Reflectly 3/5 · US No response from Support!!: Last year, I did a free trial of their growth bundle, and it is due to charge my account for another year in less than a week. I have now sent three emails due to the fact that there is no way for me to cancel this growth bundle in their app. It has been 4 days and 3 emails and I have received zero response from them. I would rate the app a lot higher f there was attent
11. [R22] Reflectly 1/5 · US You are on your own. No response to inquiries: Don’t waste your money
12. [R1] Reflectly 1/5 · US AI is discriminatory: The AI is horrible with LGBTQ related entries. It’s discriminatory, harmful, and the opposite of what a journal touting mental health support should be aiming for. But clearly there’s a huge anti-LGBTQ AI push here.
13. [R7] Reflectly 1/5 · US Weird Anti Vaxxer quote: I got a quote from the general category from Jenny McCarthy who said she looks at autism like a bus accident, and that you don’t become cured but can recover. I thought the quote was a bit weird so I did some research. After looking her up, I found out she herself doesn’t have autism, but her son does, and she promotes the idea that vaccines cause autism. I’ve had this app
14. [R12] Reflectly 3/5 · US Its not horrible.: Okay so, its honestly not a bad app. But its kinda boring, and not so much helpful. But if you like the more calm, check in chel out type of deal its this app fs. Althought the ai bot itself is kinda.. idk not so much helpful ig. It also wont let you freely talk, atleast in my opinion with the free option it gives you chances to actually type ur own words but usually its just a
15. [R24] Reflectly 3/5 · US Nice app but annoying pop up: Stop asking me to pay every single time I open the app
16. [R25] Reflectly 1/5 · US Pushing 5 notifications at 4:40 Am: Im trying to sleep 🤬🤬
17. [R30] Reflectly 3/5 · US Good app but…: I got the “become your own self help hero” bundle thing and EVERY TIME I open the app it brings it up and I have to press on “claim my offer” every single time. It’s a great app but that just annoys me a ton. Also can’t upload video to it either
18. [R43] Reflectly 1/5 · US Y you should not get app: You should not have to sign up or pay money to feel good about your self 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤔
19. [R21] Reflectly 3/5 · US Hard to read screen: Just started - right off I notice that it’s difficult to read on mobile. The font is small and faint, background colors not helpful. I’ll review again in a few days.
20. [R34] Reflectly 2/5 · US Font too small is a dealbreaker: I would very likely purchase this app if the font weren’t so small and difficult to read. I wrote the developer a few days ago and asked if there’s a way to increase the font size or otherwise make it more readable and unfortunately haven’t received a reply, so I haven’t purchased. I’ll raise the stars if this gets changed.
21. [R51] Journal 1/5 · US Not useful with Apple Pencil: I wrote a page with an Apple Pencil. It was deleted as soon as I exited out and tried to reopen the file. It only saved about a page-worth of writing. I wrote more to extend the handwritten text back out beyond what is shown in the “preview” to test and the same thing happened again. A quick google search showed that this is a known long-time issue. Will not be contin
22. [R53] Journal 3/5 · US Potential, but: Writing on iPad w Apple Pencil randomly deletes paragraphs of written text. Should be same tech to write in Notes app which works much better. Have lost pages and pages of written text with no way to recover
23. [R55] Journal 5/5 · US Phenomenal: I personally love to write different stories and journal is the best place to do it! It is a private space on my phone we re I can sit down and become the writer of my dreams.
24. [R57] Journal 1/5 · US Loses handwriting: I try to journal with Apple Pencil and every time it loses my handwriting and keeps like two lines of writing
25. [R65] 1 Second Everyday 2/5 · US Used to be amazing: I don’t know what is going on, I have the updated app and when I look back at my memories from 2017 and 2018 almost all of them have a black screen or a black line down them like a split screen. I tried reaching out Through the chat for support and they offered zero help. I am so sad about this because my kid is now 9 and I’ve been using this app that long and I never thought
26. [R66] 1 Second Everyday 5/5 · US 5 years going strong!!: I started using 1 second everyday as a way to record one season of my life and 5 years later I am still using it! It is fun to look back and see what life was like over the years. It is also an easy way to keep people updated on your life!
27. [R67] 1 Second Everyday 3/5 · US Not intuitive at all: This app is really fun if you can figure it out. That’s a big F. It is not intuitive and you need an instruction manual. The size of a phonebook to try to figure it out. They should make this much easier for users.
28. [R69] 1 Second Everyday 5/5 · US 11 years in: I can not recommend an app more highly than this one. I started in 2015 and I’ve watched my kids grow up, my life develop and change and my memories forever held. I’ve used this to figure out when someone important happened because I can link it to something else going on. It helps me to stay grateful in life and see how absolutely fantastic even the most mundane daily events are in r
29. [R79] stoic. mental health journal 1/5 · US Removed Functionality, added AI slop: Deleted many widgets (namely the quote widget), added AI slop integration and locked other features behind paywall.
30. [R81] stoic. mental health journal 3/5 · US Free version is annoying by design: I can’t remember the free version, so only use if you’re ok with the subscription. Free version doesn’t even offer a cloud sync option, and it’s riddled with features that requires the subscription, effectively having guard railed advertising which is annoying. I could understand limiting features for a premium version, but the ads for the app in the app are too
31. [R82] stoic. mental health journal 2/5 · US The app locks you in: Doesn’t let you delete your account
32. [R83] stoic. mental health journal 5/5 · US Greatest journaling app over I have ever downloaded and used. Unbiased opinion by the way.: 10/10 for sure.
33. [R93] My Diary 1/5 · US Angry Customer: Cannot open my Diary;Blocked by AD FROM TEMU!!
34. [R94] My Diary 4/5 · US Great app!: This is a great app! except that you have to pay to have all features. Pretty great app besides that though
35. [R95] My Diary 3/5 · US Editing?: Not bad, but I wish there was a way to edit the photos once they have been added, such a resizing and being able to draw on them as well. In the same thoughts of the editing department, if you change the fonts style to something new, you are unable to change the font size, which is unfortunate that I have to choose between a cute font or different text sizes.
36. [R96] My Diary 2/5 · US The pros dude😔✌️: Everything good and stuff but everything is just pros💀 mostly stop the pro stuff it’s rlly annoying😔✌️ I recommend other apps if you don’t want pros or that stuff🙂
37. [R107] Confide 2/5 · US Poor customer service: I love this app, and I use it often. But it has bugs. And everytime I’ve reached out I have gotten no response. Poor customer service, please do not neglect the people who use the app
38. [R108] Confide 5/5 · US Message for corporate: I genuinely LOVE IT but only as long as it stays free. It’s only worth it if it’s free
39. [R109] Confide 3/5 · US So many bugs: I love this app, but there are so many bugs. Sometimes my video journals won’t save after recording because the app closes suddenly, sometimes the app won’t even load at all, and it kicks me out of the app almost every time i try to replay old video journals. i see their responses saying bugs have fixed but the app is always buggy. wish they could fix this permanently because it disc
40. [R110] Confide 1/5 · US No way to cancel: I haven’t been using the app. I have tried every which way to cancel and it’s not working. I haven’t used the app in months and there’s no contact to reach out to to get help.
41. [R2] Reflectly 5/5 · US Best journaling app: This is the best journaling app for free I have ever seen. It’s super interactive very clean and simple. Good expression options and knowing how you truly felt in a moment being able to get it out and have it saved the good and the bad
42. [R5] Reflectly 5/5 · US Fantastic Journal App: I have used Reflectly for years. The free version is very good and I highly recommend it to people I know! I love the daily reflections, and how the check ins track your mood and what’s going on in life. It’s super easy to use and also somehow I like it better than journaling in a notebook nowadays. Highly recommend!
43. [R8] Reflectly 4/5 · US Using it for years now: This app has been my diary off&on for years now. This app has really helped me recognize my mental health patterns and become more self-aware. Admittedly I use it inconsistently but the daily check-ins & reading my old ones help me become more stable whenever I’m in an unstable time. The tags you can use on each entry is super helpful. Sometimes I’m not sure what else to sa
44. [R11] Reflectly 4/5 · US Pretty great: I love the app, but I don't want to pay for it, but on the other hand it actually makes my day better so I recommend it!
