1. [R2] DailyBean 5/5 · US So amazing: Fun to use and easy but you have to watch an add every time that you want to write about you day still amazing I will continue to use this app 🫛
2. [R7] DailyBean 1/5 · US Too bad about the excessive ads: Ad after every entry. I was ok with this. But an ad for editing a preexisting entry? Excessive. It doesn’t make me want to pay for premium. In fact, I think I’m done using it altogether. Good job.
3. [R9] DailyBean 3/5 · GB A bit boring: I downloaded this app after seeing many YouTube videos saying DailyBean is so good, but it was boring, not gonna lie. I'm sorry to the owner for saying this, but you could've made it a tiny bit better. Also, you have to watch an ad every time you want to record your mood, how your day was, or add pictures, and nobody likes ads, so it was very irritating. · translated
4. [R13] DailyBean 2/5 · US It’s okay: +Cute tracker with nice and helpful analytics! -Too many ads -When I downloaded on my Mac I couldn’t use a pack I had purchased before
5. [R1] DailyBean 1/5 · US Is not free it don't tell us it's paid: Is not free it don't tell us it's paid
6. [R3] DailyBean 3/5 · US Was going to start but then…….: I would have loved this app but when I was about to use it for the first time I couldn’t start because you have to pay to start using the app so i wouldn’t recommend also if you would like to know the price it was around 50-60 dollars!!!
7. [R4] DailyBean 1/5 · US HORRIBLE: YOU HAD TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING AND IT SUCKKKKKKKS
8. [R10] DailyBean 1/5 · US Takes money: You can’t do much with this app unless you pay a bunch of money for the premium version. I deleted it the day after I got it because it wasn’t helpful.
9. [R6] DailyBean 3/5 · US Needs offline support: Decent app but I’m canceling my subscription that I’ve had for years until offline functionality is introduced. Recent lifestyle changes have made it pretty much useless without.
10. [R18] DailyBean 3/5 · GB Wi-Fi: It’s kind of annoying that you need internet or data to log what you’re feeling but other than that, it’s great and really useful. Would recommend 👍
11. [R15] DailyBean 3/5 · GB It’s okay but: It’s kinda a useless app and u can’t save ur options so u have to delete ur old one and renew it so honestly i forgot i even had this app and the notifications are a lot like every second it’s soo long but it’s an okay app if u get me
12. [R22] DailyBean 2/5 · GB Uhm ok..: Its ok but you can’t do really anything because it always asks for premium and stuff all you can do is record your mood
13. [R25] DailyBean 1/5 · GB Useless: Useless
14. [R8] DailyBean 5/5 · US One suggestion?: I love this app so much!! I’ve been using it for a few years and it is so adorable. My only complaint is that I just updated my iPhone to the newest setting, and with that came the glass effect. I was wondering if there was a way for you to allow me to exclude the effect from the calendar widget? It messed up the widget and the only way to have the glass effect and also the widget
15. [R12] DailyBean 3/5 · GB I absolutely loved this app, but it doesn’t work anymore: This app helped me journal which ive been meaning to do but wasn’t bothered, but now with this app i did it everyday! Its simple to navigate and looks pretty! But now ive taken a break from journaling and forgot to write an entry for 2 weeks, it obviously kept my unfinished entry from the last time I wrote, but now when I save it, (I have t
16. [R40] DailyBean 5/5 · US Absolutely love it: I absolutely LOVEEEE this app I talk abt my day and then whenever I want to know what I did on a specific day I can just go look. It has soooo many cute beans you can choose and I love how I can costumise it to my liking. The only small problem is that sometimes when I watch the add the screen stays loding and when I go in and out of the app it doesn’t save. Besides that it is
17. [R52] Finch 5/5 · US Love: I absolutely love this app and the new diner theme I’m in love
18. [R58] Finch 5/5 · US Amazing App! 💙: I've used this app for about 3 years and it's changed so much! I love the monthly events and the personalization that comes along with it!

20. [R63] Finch 5/5 · US I love it: Awesome!! Keeps me very organized and stress free!
21. [R66] Day One 5/5 · US It has been 12 years since I wrote my first journal: I can’t say anything except amazing the every moment I write on it. Pure joy.
22. [R69] Day One 5/5 · US Love it personally: This app is my life. Many notes i have written feels like a life chapter. Easy and simple
23. [R72] Day One 5/5 · US Long time user: I loved this so much I purchased my best friend the full version. So I get a notification reminding me to journal. It won’t open. It’s still in my apps but won’t respond! I went to the App Store and updated it and thankfully ALL my entries are present and accounted for. Initially, I thought the thing ate my 12 plus yrs of stuff so I wanted to correct my mistake as apparently t
24. [R73] Day One 3/5 · US My most important app: I never leave reviews. But this app is too important not to let everyone know how great it is. If you care about recording your personal history, day-to-day events, or things that really matter, this is the app for you. There’s no better way to understand who you are or where are you were going than the app called Day One. The story begins today… This is day one. iPad OS 26
25. [R80] 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
26. [R83] 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!
27. [R86] 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
28. [R92] Reflectly 5/5 · US User Friendly: Simple to learn and assess the features that may work for you. It’s a very easily navigable app and user - friendly for all. I also love the motivational quotes throughout the day!
29. [R94] Daylio Journal 5/5 · US Genuinely love this app: absolutely best decision of my life on jan 1 2023 starting with this app. i love having this data. its so easy. i love how you can fix your streak with literally no time limit. i was hospitalized without phone access for a month and was devastated that i would lose my 2 year streak, but was able to come back months later and fill it in to save the streak! its been really m
30. [R97] Daylio Journal 5/5 · US Changed my life: I’ve been using the app for seven years. Insights from it have truly changed how I live my life for the better. I’m a much happier person now than when I started, and if you want proof of that I have it here in this app.
31. [R102] Daylio Journal 5/5 · US Download!: Daylio changed my life. I have the last 6 years of the best and the worst, funniest priceless memories documented forever! I always have my phone on me so it makes a great diary. I write my thoughts I track my moods, I track my medications. This is great for mental health. I wish I’ve had this app my whole life
32. [R103] Daylio Journal 5/5 · US Good Tool: Helps me with my emotions
33. [R68] Day One 1/5 · US Used to be good, now AI slop + in your face premium features: If you don't mind constant popups begging you to pay them money to have the basic human right to change your color scheme, and don't mind how for some reason they too, are shoving AI features in your face you can just barely turn off, Then this app is great. But for anyone else, it's grown to be unusable. And with the way the modern int
34. [R70] Day One 3/5 · US Glitches since adding AI: I’ve subscribed to this app for several years. It has worked flawlessly up until recently when they added AI. Now my ipad app glitches out and won’t even show the entries I just added. Syncing between my ipad and iphone is very slow and has gotten progressively worse. Support used to respond right away, but I’ve been waiting for them to fix this issue for days without res
35. [R71] Day One 1/5 · US AI Slop: I pay for a Silver subscription. I don’t care about AI and I don’t want to be constantly pestered to ‘upgrade’ to the Gold plan. This app is now garbage. You’ve ruined it. I have unsubscribed. Good riddance. In response to the developer: it’s too late. You’ve lost a paying customer for life. Stupid decisions have consequences.
36. [R78] Day One 1/5 · US Why charge a lot more for what was included in premium?: I really liked Day One. I’ve had it for over five years. They recently included some Ai features that were included in my premium service. You could generate AI IMAGES from your entries, get prompts, and some great summaries for your entries., I had really been enjoying this new addition to DayOne. UNTIL TONIGHT, when those features were su
37. [R104] Daylio Journal 5/5 · US Best app on my phone: This is the best app and well worth premium. I’ve had it since 2018. It keeps me on track with habits - I track EVERYTHING! From mood to food habits, working out, my cycle, and non habits like not doom scrolling and drinking less - you can track anything. And I love all the added features of journaling, adding pictures, and setting goals. Loveeeee it
