Glitch when trying to get free trail and viewing p

I love everything so far just downloaded it wanted to see the price of a month and it says error try again later. Love the
gratitude journal and wanted to upgrade.

Changed my perspective

Just started doing the free portion of the app for the past few months and it has made a significant change in my outlook. It
takes no time to complete the morning/evening prompts. I feel more well rested after I complete my daily journal, more content and
far less anxious.

Helpful but lots of typos and grammar errors

I found the articles interesting but certain parts were hard to understand because it seems like it was proofread prior to
charging for a $40 annual plan.

Heartfelt

This simple five minute activity has opened my heart and soul to all the wonderful blessings that daily I had taken for granted.
Thank you tremendously for creating and sharing this! Namaste

Finally a Mac Version

Glad to see that they finally came out with a Mac version after all these years. Also makes sense since Apple is coming out with
their own.

I just wish the text were a little bigger for UI.

So grateful that this app is now available on Mac!

I've been using the iPad version of the 5 Minute Journal, which is a fantastic way to check-in with myself. Having the app
available on my Mac makes it even easier — and, for me, more enjoyable — to use. Thank you, Intelligent Change!

So thoughtful

I’ve had five minute journal for over 5 years and it’s amazing how they continuously are improving the app to what it is
today. The meditation is amazing.

Love it!!! But…

I love this journal and everything about it. However I wish there was a one time buy option rather than $25/yr forever.

The best of them all

I’ve tried many journal apps but this one is by far the best. Sleek minimalist design, easy to use. Does exactly what you need
it to.

Q: Mac app in the future?

Would love a way to access this on my Mac where I prefer to type.

So simple and effective

I have been a fan of the hard copy version of this journal for years. But I am loving the new app! It’s so simple and elegant. I
love seeing the gallery. Thank you for creating this!

Amazing

I can’t believe it took me this long to find this app. I’ve been committed to changing my life for the better and I’m
following new daily routines which includes being grateful, journaling, affirmations, end of day gratefulness, etc. This app does
all of what I need and I love it. Awesome.

It’s growing on me

I’m using the basic function for now but it’s growing on me. I hate it when app developers require creating an account to do
anything. It makes me think they want to get and sell my data. Will see how it goes and if I subscribe.

Love This Journal

This app keeps me going. I love that I’m able to write about my day, Affirm myself and have a visual representation of my day
with the upload photo feature.

Old app

I had the old app and now can’t sign in nor find any of the posts I had made.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

Thanks for creating this app and showing me the way!

For me “The day I don’t write my journal, is a day not lived to it’s fullest potential” It is just that easy!

The quotes now are so generic and meaningless.

Used this app extensively, before the subscription increase. Went back to try to start using it again. One of the things I
loved was all the great quotes that were inspiring. All the quotes are super generic, love people and be kind. Nothing
inspiring, or courageous.

Won’t let me go premium

I do like it… but I tried to get the free trial and it said it failed and to please try again. It keeps saying this. It won’t
let me get a premium subscription… what’s up with that?

Could be great

Subscription price is hefty, especially for those of us who had already purchased the app. I may not renew again.
Also, it’s extremely annoying that I cannot turn off the quotes. They frustrate me.
Otherwise, if they address these two issues, this is a five star app all around.

I really like the app. It’s quick, simple and focused. I don’t like that the Apple watch app doesn’t synch with the app and
my entries don’t record via watch.

I really like the app. It’s quick, simple and focused. Unfortunately, the watch doesn’t synch well with the app and my entries
don’t record via watch. I had a weeks worth of entries that I didn’t know was happening and didn’t record.

What happened

Just wanted to check in with the developers. For the past couple of weeks the quotes have been quite depressing. Are you guys ok?

Good concept but glitchy

I love the questions that it asks you and it’s helpful to have the reminders. But sometimes it doesn’t save all the stuff that
I wrote. Often actually. It will only keep one section of the series of questions/prompts.

Way to turn off mood checker, please

Please, please, provide a way to turn off the mood checker. I find those things totally annoying and would prefer not to have to
deal with it twice a day. Thank you.

Stardew Valley - Addictive.. I played this game on my nephews tablet and had to get it for my IPad. It’s super cute and so fun!.

Monoposto Lite - The walls. I’ll find myself on Belgium and hit a wall, and if you find yourself unlucky. YOU FLY. You hit the pixel that’s off the wall
of the sponsor and that’s enough to make you crash and spin out really bad smoothen the walls please..

Granny - 😀. It’s a good game it’s just I’m not a big fan of the spider update because where the spider is there is a lot of the stuff
you need to escape, and theres barely stuff in the house..
