5 Minute Journal・Private Diary App Reviews

I am really tight with spending money. The thought of spending $40 on a journal seemed insane. But I love it. Worth every single penny. I love the fact that I can easily reflect on how I felt over a period of time, and add photos and many different types of thoughts. I love that it focuses on what to be grateful for. I never rate things. But I had to rate this one.

I use this app every morning; however, today I didn’t use it, due to the day starting with chaos. Now at the end of the day, I am very aware that using this app in the morning centers me for the rest of the day.

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

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.

Please undo the opening animation, it’s slow and boring and takes too long. Otherwise great app, I’ve been using since ~2016 and love it.

Hello, I just want to start this out by saying I appreciate your app and everything your team has done to create such a beautiful hardware for us users. I do have a suggestion that I think would improve upon user experience, within the to-do list portion of the app I feel adding the feature of rearranging tasks and the ability to check off tasks as the day goes on would be phenomenal. Again, thank you so much for this app, I start my day with a beautiful outlook which carries through the entirel

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.

Great customer service and great app

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.

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.

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?

The simplest, most effective thing you can do every day to be happier.

What a great start to so many days! Your app’s beauty, intuitive usability and generous free version set a lofty and inspiring standard. For your outstanding gift to the world and to me, THANKS MUCH!

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

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.

I’ve tried countless times to have a journaling practice and I actually look forward to this. I was easily able to journal every day for almost a month. I replaced Morning and evening Instagram scrolling with this and it has actually made a difference in my mental health. I justify the yearly cost bc that’s the price of a physical journal (which I would never or rarely use).

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.

I’ve been using this app since it first came out. I love seeing it grow and develop to what it is now. The yearly subscription is totally worth it! I love going back to memory lane and seeing what I’ve been grateful for! This app is a beautiful digital journal! YOU deserve this app! Buy it! This product has changed my though process my outlook in life. Again, but it!

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.

I have been using the app since 2018 and to this date it is still my go-to to help me track and stay more present each morning. Definitely a thumbs up. Their customer support is also exceptional and one can sense that their team really live with the value of daily gratitude and I am definitely grateful for this app.

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

This app is life changing. Mental health is so important and this is a huge piece of it.

I have used this app for 6 years. I love it when it works. But more and more often over the years I spend time entering my text only to have it disappear. I have sent complaints about this happening and it still keeps occurring. I am so frustrated and obviously they can’t seem to fix the problem.
