User Reviews for Grateful: A Gratitude Journal

Mixed review

I love the simplicity of this app and I wouldn’t really change anything about it, I love looking back on the things that have brought me joy. The only issue is technological glitches that lead to the app not working at times. It will not always allow me to upload photos, depends on the day. Also it will not always save the changes I make. I have updated to the most recent version and am still having problems. No issues with any other app. I would definitely give 5 stars if the bugs were fixed, however due to these issues I often end up more frustrated than grateful when using this app.

:(

I typed a very long grateful story and then left the app for a email notification, I return to the app and it all vanished. I wasn't even off the application for more than 30 seconds and everything I typed disappeared instantly.That’s so unfortunate..since I wanted to really get involved into this platform but I don’t want to stress myself out over my paragraphs being deleted so quickly. That would just cause so much more stress & anxiety for me then actually enjoying the app & act of gratitude. I am hoping the developers find a way to work through this. Since I’m a writer and write long entries, I can’t imagine having to copy and paste every time I want to save my entries from being deleted. From Grateful App to Notes, from Notes to Grateful App, vice versa. I could just use my notes on my iPhone. It has less aesthetic but at least my notes don’t vanish once I leave the application to roam in the background. I feel and love the potential, won’t delete the app, but hope to see future improvements & updates to counteract this inconvenience.Namaste to All!

Good UI but few updates would be helpful

I’ve used this app on and off for a couple of years. I have the paid version. It has great, pleasing, simple interface. I appreciate the ability to choose between the app’s prompts or to write my own. It does have cloud-based backup that can be used to sync between devices, which is nice. However, you must instigate this sync manually under the app settings every time you want it to run, and if you have a new entry on each device that hasn’t been synced, you’ll have to decide which device’s entries to lose. I would love to see a true cloud-based sync that I didn’t have to instigate every time.As one other reviewer pointed out, if you leave the app mid-entry or before saving the entry, the app seems to reboot and whatever you have written but not saved is lost. This is less of an issue once you realize it, but if there’s a fix there it would be a great upgrade!

Missing a calendar view

😊 I downloaded the app yesterday and I find its simplicity nice, however was tempted to look into other apps as i saw they have a “track your mood” calendar view that allows you to set your mood with a face and then see how you felt every day (displaying the faces) and then see an overall mood graph for the month/week etc... i thought that was super cool, but then again other apps are too full of stuff its overwhelming. Tried using an emoji here but then i dont have a calendar view to track my mood progress (which btw is pretty encouraging if you manage to uplift it)... seeing more happy faces on a calendar for sure helps! Any chance this could be included? 😃✨ (I also saw a cool “gratitude jar” on some app, which allowed you to see your blessings (what you were grateful for) after clicking on it, but again, it was too complicated, also kind of public and needed to upgrade to a paid version for the nicest things advertised on the app store (not so cool). Maybe you can give this a thought and improve it much more! Thanks tho! Nice app

This could be a five-star app if...

I just tried using this app for the first time. When I first opened it, I loved the simple UI and design. I was pretty excited to get my gratitude on after just waking up. So, the prompt asked me “What are you looking forward to?” I spend a good five minutes considering my response, and about another ten minutes typing in my entry. I also liked how you can add photos if you’d like. Since my entry was about taking my first trip to London, I thought perhaps I should attach a picture of the city to help me visualize it better. So, I swing over to Google Images so that I could grab a photo, and when I came back—poof. My entire entry was reset. NOT COOL. I spent a considerable amount of time coming up with a thoughtful entry, and it all gets deleted just because I switched to another app for a brief moment. This wasn’t good for my first experience using the app, as I do quite a bit of multitasking on my device. It’s such a basic feature, why would you wipe all of my intimate thoughts just because I momentarily switched apps? With that said, I’ll probably delete the app and never upgrade to the premium. Perhaps I’ll change my mind if you fixed this issue. I only gave this app 3-stars because I like their other apps so much. I expected way more.

Getting Frustrated

I have used this app for a long time (I have the purchased version). I love that I can add photos and create my own prompts, and the prompts that are there in the beginning are also good to utilize. I never had an issue until a few weeks ago. The app would crash every time I tried to open it. I didn’t want to delete it because I didn’t want to lose all of the memory filled entries I had made (probably close to a years worth), and I couldn’t remember the last time I backed it up to the cloud. After a couple weeks of hoping an update would occur to fix it, I ended up having to delete the app. Fortunately I only lost about a week or two worth of entries (not including the two weeks it didn’t open for me). I transferred all of the entries I had been keeping in my Notes app, backed the Grateful app up to the cloud, and continued to use it. But it was short lived. I am now experiencing the same issue. Even if I uninstall the app, reinstall it, restore my purchase, and import my data from the cloud, it tells me to restart the app to complete that process and then crashes all over again. I’m not sure what’s going on, but I would really appreciate a solution as I look forward to using this app every night before I go to bed. Until this issue is resolved, I would not recommend this app. Maybe others are having better luck than me.

It made me so sad!

I loved this app and used it religiously but the backup user interface is awful. You have to do it manually and the restore from backup link is placed directly below the backup link which resulted in me hitting the wrong button in a distracted hurry and losing almost a months worth of grateful entries. I feel so sad. It’s like a month of precious and personal journal entries have been lost forever and the memories that I thought I was saving are gone. It meant a lot to me to have these memories, especially during the pandemic. The restore button should be in another safe location. How often does a user need to revert to an old backup and delete all new entries? It doesn’t even make sense. It seems small but this is a huge design flaw. Time to go back to pen and paper.

Eh.

I was pretty excited when I downloaded this because I just wanted a simple app to keep a gratitude journal with. I am on my phone a lot, and it’s easy to flip over to the app and notate something for which I’m grateful. This had a free version, no bells and whistles, awesome! Well, with the free version you only get 15 entries, which is not actually a free “version,” it’s a trial. That information wasn’t disclosed up front, so I’ll be deleting the app in favor of something else. If you’re interested in a premium membership, this app is pretty easy to use and has great prompts to get you thinking about all the things we have to be grateful for, but if you’re looking for a free version, this isn’t the app for you.

Helped my Depression

I’ve been suffering with Depression, Anxiety and Anorexia Nervosa and this was recommended to me by my therapist. I gave it a shot and it’s so easy to use. We all get stuck in a cloud of negativity but this will help you break from it. I started to notice after a few days of using this that I started to see the positivity in things. It’s changed my mindset to look at the good of the days we go through instead of focusing on the negativity as well as appreciating the good in our lives even if it’s as small as the smell of our shampoo bottle. I upgraded right away to the premium and made my own prompts! I highly recommend this app! I feel miles better than I did before!

My Second Day

This is only my second day using this journal so that’s why I only gave it 4 stars, I’m still learning about it and seeing what I can do with it.. so far I am enjoying it, it’s very simple which I Love and the Prompt questions they give when you first open it is Great!! Sometimes you don’t always know how to get started when you’re new to having a journal, Even though I’m not totally sure about it yet, I paid the $4.00 for the full version I like the free version enough to take chance of paying for the upgrade.. I will update in a couple of weeks, for right now I would say ‘Yes’ try it out for yourself..

Description

According to researchers at the Harvard Medical School, “Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.” Grateful was created to make expressing gratitude in your life both easy and fun, as well as to remind you, during those down moments, of the many blessings in your life (that you've documented in Grateful). *Daily Prompts to Start You Off* With its simple interface and daily prompts, Grateful is designed to make reflection and giving thanks both a joyful and easy process. Daunted by a blank page? Not quite sure where to start?
