1. [R3] 5/5 · US Great app!: I am grateful for this app. It is a great partner in maintaining a consistent journal. Improving mental health takes time and energy, and this app is a seamless and friendly approach to that lifelong pursuit.
2. [R5] 5/5 · US Simple and powerful: Great tool for daily intentions and reflections. Love the customization.
3. [R11] 5/5 · US Best journaling for ADHD: This helps me to stay on track with journaling and checking in with myself and how I feel. It makes it an easy task and gives me a win each time I complete an entry. It makes it feel attainable and then helps me feel better.
4. [R12] 5/5 · US Stoic sets the bar high and delivers.: I’ve used this app for several years, and it’s truly excellent. It’s a great tool for journaling, intention setting, reflection, and meditation, and I love how it collects so many resources in one place.
5. [R27] 5/5 · US Rly great: I downloaded this app a little over 3 years ago and I can’t express how much I love it. The prompts, the options for writing, the quotes. It’s all so easy to understand and navigate and even if it doesn’t sound like writing what happened today down, or journaling about what you wish you could have said, or whatever it is that’s going on in your life will help, speaking from experience I
6. [R35] 5/5 · US Such a helpful tool: I have been using this app for a couple years now and it is such a great tool. The meditation timer, the prompts, and the customization work so well.
7. [R36] 5/5 · US Simple in design but powerful: I need something like stoic. to help me develop a practice of journaling. I am almost to 60 days straight and I have never been able to do that with other apps or manual practices. The mood tracking is huge for me. The only thing I wish I knew how to do was get prompts to address yesterday’s journal, but they have a feature request option so hoping this gets implemen
8. [R9] 5/5 · US Wish that if was fully free but most features are: Beautiful, minimalistic design, with it was free since it has truly helped my mental health so much but I really cant spend on it due to my budget. Byt u can do daily check ins and all. Except appearance features and personalization is not accessible without premium. But regardless I SWEAR BY THIS APP.
9. [R25] 5/5 · US Truly Insightful: I rarely review apps but there are about 5 apps on the App Store that are worth mentioning. This is one of the 5. Stoic is one of the apps where I can confidently assume there were multiple talented developers with varying perspectives and skills involved, which ultimately resulted in high levels of insight. Most of the features inspire ideas, self reflection , and action. Al
10. [R51] 5/5 · CA This app is gold: Simple yet well rounded. No distractions, no ads, just a lot of useful tools to help with self reflection. That app is a must for everyone who journeys into their own mind.
11. [R42] 5/5 · US My CBT savior: I am a student with ADD and a mood disorder which I treat with medication but therapy has never been particularly helpful for me. These daily journals and prompts truly help me regulate my moods and thoughts better than any other journaling system I’ve ever used, and I’ve dished out lots in the past for executive style, leather bound detailed planners. This app is a wonderful toolbo
12. [R66] 5/5 · CA Love!: wish more was available without subscription as i don't have the extra funds rn, but the stoic team deserves to be compensated for their work so i completely get it. the interface is easy to navigate, even for someone with adhd. i love that the breathing exercises and other coping mechanisms are right up front and center so they're easy to find if i'm having a ptsd panic attack! i also like
13. [R45] 5/5 · US The app was quickly updated!: Thank you for promptly updating the app!
14. [R47] 5/5 · US peace. joy. stoicism. 🌺: glad the launch bug was fixed, and I’m back to beginning my days, and ending my nights, and harmony
15. [R48] 5/5 · US Last update FIXED everything: Quick response by the developer to resolve an issue in the prior update!
16. [R49] 5/5 · US Love this app: Great app! Great support team!
17. [R2] 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.
18. [R14] 1/5 · US All about the $: I was under the impression I could use what I felt necessary and each time a new prompt showed up, the end result was signing up for a subscription. If you don’t decline the prompts (even the simple questions you think are designed to help you), I the next page is something else asking for money. I checked this app out for my kid but I will not suggest it for him.
19. [R17] 3/5 · US Free Version ain’t it: I had this many years ago and the free version was still great! It’s frustrating how it now is so basic and not worthwhile unless you have premium.
20. [R32] 1/5 · US money: mental health that everyone is talking about, you ended up charging and making business… not good should be free
21. [R4] 3/5 · US Could be great: I want to like this app but there is so much going on that it’s overwhelming. Too many ideas, exploration page, create your own template but it’s not really a template and let’s not forget the constant push to upgrade to “premium”. I do think it has useful features but I can’t get past all of the other stuff. I just want to document my feelings in a journal and have better de-stres
22. [R16] 1/5 · US Subscription Spam Kills UX: As a first-time user who just wanted to learn more about and explore the app, the first five or ten minutes with it was awful and frustrating. I just wanted to see the interface and determine whether or not I might like it. Instead, I got hit with a bunch of popups, subscription paywalls, rating requests, and more *constantly* within the first five minutes, to the
23. [R23] 3/5 · US Good app. Prompts repeat.: I like the app. It does encourage me to be more diligent with my journaling. It would be nice if the prompts didn’t repeat so often.
24. [R38] 4/5 · US It asked the same questions over and over: It asked the same questions over and over
25. [R68] 3/5 · CA bad update: this app was amazing and i loved to use every morning and at night. i could customize the questions and was very happy with those layout and how it helped me. then there was a new update that you could not customize your day and i was getting the same questions every day. i went to customize and you have to get stoic premium. change it back please<3
26. [R95] 3/5 · CA Repetitive Quotes: I only use this app for the quotes and as a widget. I wish they would randomize a bit better. I see the same ones over and over but if i hit the next button long enough I start to see new quotes. It does have a good selection, just wish I didn't manually have to dig for fresh ones!
27. [R10] 5/5 · US Love it: I just wish the desktop version for windows was decent. It doesn’t do much of anything and doesn’t really sync well
28. [R89] 3/5 · CA It’s kinda Wonky: It’s good but the goals and eulogies is broken I’m tired of having to rewrite everything just because the app can’t handle simple tasks that it’s supposed too, I feel bad for the people who already paid for this because I don’t think the developers care about fixing or finding out the problems
29. [R99] 2/5 · CA Some Features Don’t Work: Ive used this app for about a year now and since getting on a good routine i have started using the exercise throughout day” option; well; it seems as if you are having a good day; they will not let you finish or check off that option as it does not give you an exercise, just an endless amount of quotes; i clicked through for 10 minutes before i pressed “x” and guess wha
30. [R37] 1/5 · US AI is biased and bad for LGBTQ users: The AI is horrible for LGBTQ users. An app all about journaling, where LGBTQ users often need it more, shouldn’t be discriminatory towards them. This is the last thing I want to be seeing in my journal, and it’s horrible for your mental health unless you’re a straight white Christian.
31. [R30] 1/5 · US Did not want to extend trial. Does not give refunds.: I wanted to try it out. I never used the app. They charged me $100 and will not give a refund. They say oh it’s not our fault because Apple handles al the billing. We can’t do anything about it. That is BS, unethical and terrible business practice.
32. [R60] 3/5 · CA help??: I emailed the developer and also contacted issues I've been having with premium membership. My trial was cut short and now it’s neither allowing me do premium features or purchase a subscription! I’m a fan of this app and have gotten it into routine but my main issue is that there doesn’t seem to be good support by the app developers. One area of improvement in the app would be to allo
33. [R19] 5/5 · US Grounded and clear: I find stoic to help me feel grounded and calmer than without it. I now know I have a lot of important things to get finished so no more Facebook for a while:).
