Who it's for
DailyBean is for individuals looking for a simple, cute, and effective way to track their daily moods, habits, and activities without the pressure of extensive journaling R6R15R18R35. It's suitable for those who appreciate aesthetic design and are willing to watch ads to unlock some premium features R9R48. It is not for users who need advanced analytical tools without paying or who frequently experience app crashes R28R29.
Evidence note: The recent reviews are overwhelmingly positive, aligning with the high lifetime rating. The few negative points, such as crashing and missing features, appear to be isolated incidents or minor frustrations for a small subset of users, rather than widespread issues. The developer's notes about new widgets are not directly addressed in the recent reviews, though one user did request widgets prior to the update R32.

- [R6] Cute, simple and effective!: Who doesn’t want something cute, daily. I’ve only been using it for three days so far but I love it. It’s nice to be aware of what is affecting my mood in positive and negative ways so I can do more or less of those things. I like adding photos, it’s like a diary. - I usually post to Instagram but it gives me the same type of satisfaction without adding dopamine hits
- [R15] LOVE IT: I love the journalling concept but just don’t have to time and frankly can’t be f’d so this is amazing, love it, great concept. Yes yes yes. LOVE.
- [R18] Really fun!: My favourite mood tracker I’ve ever tried. I normally suck at keeping up journals and whatnot but this is a really cute and fun way to do it. I’ve been going strong for about a month now, setting up the daily reminder really helps me keep consistent with it. I really like the way this allows you to look at linked things you’ve recorded, it really helps me understand which factors in m
- [R35] BEST EVEREVER😉😀😄⚽️⚽️⚽️: I’ve always loved the idea of being productive and organised and having filled out journals. But unfortunately I’m kinda the opposite but this app helped me because usually I’m too lazy to continue a diary but with this it’s basically just like a daily quick recap which I ❤️ love 🥰 . Please do a developer response thingy for this comment, it would be cool 😎 🫶🏼⚽️❤️😄⚽️🫶🏼⚽️🫶🏼😄
- [R8] Mood: I love how u can see how ur feeling every day and to see how I can improve from being sad
- [R16] So cute!: This app is so cute and aesthetic and it really makes me wanna write more when I wanna collect leaves such a good moood tracker and very helpful for self awareness.
- [R19] Aesdedic: The tension to aesdedic is amazing you can get clovers to earn points. The app it self is mainly free like when you get Spotify as there is also premium that you do have to pay for. I like how you don't need ti right that much and you press some emojies
- [R32] The best habit app ever!!: Dailybean is so good for easy and quick journaling and habit tracking. It’s very cute and simple. There is a variety of activities to track which is good. One thing that could make it even better is widgets!! These would be great for reminders and a cute home screen. Other than that this is an amazing app! ❤️❤️
- [R9] I love it!: I absolutely love this app its so easy and simple! The only thing that is a little annoying is that you have to pay after 7 days, BUT it’s not necessary you just have to watch an ad after which I’m fine with! 100% would recommend!!
- [R13] The best one yet: I’ve been using daily been for a week now and their are some charges but they don’t have to be used
- [R33] Would suggest!!: I really enjoy being able to look back on my days and what I’ve said about everything. I have other apps like 1SE and DailyBean makes what happened each day match up. Even though you can get premium features it doesn’t force you too, you just have to watch a short ad which I find as a really nice alternative as someone who doesn’t like premiums, I don’t get prevented from using t
- [R48] I love it: It's the cutest way to keep track of your mood and day. You can customise the sections making it even more personal and unique. And this option of customisation and doesn't go away even if you don't pay for premium all you have to do is watch a short ad which I will happing do any day.
- [R30] The best app I have found for journaling.: I have been using Daily Bean for almost 2 years now and it has helped me heaps. I use it every day and have made my own personalisation of everything to help it do exactly what I need it to do. It helps me tract my period, my eating, my habits, my self care routines, my sleep and my mood. It is a huge life saver for me and I cannot recommend it enough. I
- [R39] Perfect daily journal: The Daily Bean is great! An app that has simplified making a journal entry everyday, I get to pick my icons, write some notes and add a photo, it’s the perfect amount of information to not feel like a chore doing it. Recommend for people that often give up with record keeping - it’s super easy and still detailed to look visually pleasing when you look back at your month/y
- [R29] Oh my gosh: I got this app cause my friend told me it was amazing but every time I tap on it it’s takes me out Please fix this!
- [R28] Cute and preppy but not for actual analysis: I love this app but a lot of the features I was hoping to use turned out to be premium, like the advanced analysis, which would have really helped me with my health in general.
- [R50] Really, Really Good, but…: I think this is an amazing app, was recommended by a friend, and I absolutely love it!!! I just wish that we are able to earn the coins and that we are able to see the advanced analysis’s without premium but I still highly suggest you get it as the free version is still amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- [R3] The new update PLEASE READ!!!: So you can now add a pin to get into the app and some how I accidentally added one but I can’t remember what it is and I’ve spent 2 days just trying random numbers and hoping it’s correct, could you please add a ‘forgot password’ PLEAPSE!!!
- [R47] Like it: I really like it I’m currently travelling Australia and Ist a much easier way to document my trip the only thing is if I’m typing and leave the app before pressing done just to check something quickly about what I’m writing sometimes it deletes the text so always make sure to press done if your even leaving the app for a second or it could delete.
- [R11] Daily bean review: This app is so amazing I love it u don’t really have to pay for anything which is really good this sooo this app is getting 5 stars from me love it and it’s so cute
- [R14] Amazing: This app is like my therapist or a diary, except it’s way easier then a diary, where I can just explode my emotions onto and keep track of how I’m feeling 👍✝️💖
