Practicing gratitude with the Five Minute Journal app brings you a more positive outlook on life and ability to notice wonderful things and capture the life-changing experiences. The key is consistency. With its thoughtful features and a structure to help you focus on what’s good, you will find The Five Minute Journal app to be a great way to start and end your day.

Simply great journal

As a 31-year-old who's always looking for ways to improve my self-care routine, I found this app really good. It might sound crazy that an app could impact my daily life, but I was surprised by how it transformed my days and nights sleep, especially through its guided meditation section. I used to have other apps to meditate and reflect, but as I'm not a person who meditates religiously, the combination of the journal aspect with meditation was actually a great combo. The app's design is straightforward, making it easy to navigate without feeling overwhelmed. This simplicity is crucial for me, as it allows me to focus on what's important, my thoughts and feelings. I've started using the guided meditation sessions to relax and do breathing exercise, it helps with my sleep. After that I input my learnings for the day quickly after have, and naturally set intentions for the next. The guided meditations are not just sound tracks, they offer a space to breathe, think, and be present with my thoughts. Integrating gratitude into my daily life has always been something I knew was important, but struggled to practice and find time. 5 minutes journal focus on gratitude, asking me to reflect on what I'm thankful for each day. I find myself more appreciative of the small moments as it forces me to think about things I'm gratteful for. Setting daily goals is another thing that I've found incredibly beneficial. It's one thing to have ambitions, but another to write them clearly and reflect on their progress daily. This app helped me break down my larger goals into manageable, daily actions, making them feel more achievable. While it might not be the solution to everyone, for me, 5 minute journal is a gentle nudge towards a healthier live.

Not worth it

Disappointed after trying premium. I have no problem paying for premium features, but the value should be proportionate to the cost. Given the quality of numerous similar apps that are free or have a small one-time IAP, the cost/value of this app is disappointing at best. To be clear, I like the app, but the value derived for the cost is disproportionately low compared to free or much less expensive apps with like or better features. This Dev’s data collection practices are concerning, as well. When users are adding private and sensitive information, companies that collect user data should provide clear unambiguous details to their users. This company does not. If you are using this app, I encourage you to seek complete transparency from the company related to the collection and use of your data.

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.

Tiny suggestion

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 entirely of my actions and impact on this world. ❤️

Great app

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.

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?
