5 Minute Journal: Self-Care App Reviews

This app is simple and easy to use. It takes less then 5 minutes to do and it makes my day so MUCH better. I am more intentional because I write down what I am grateful for and what I can do to make today great. I find myself being much more productive and happy. I have told all my friends about this app and I highly recommend it!!

I look forward each morning and evening to reflect on my day. I love that you can post a pic from the day.

After hearing Tim Ferriss say he used the 5 minute journal I figured it was worth the 5 dollar investment (success leaves clues, people!). Its a fantastic app getting right to the basics of daily reflection in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Really enjoying using 5 minute journal. Like the quote upon opening, the use of a photo to remember and represent the day and the simplicity of it.

Well thought out, easy to use, great quotations!

Really wanted to find something that I would stick to. Doing so-so on that, but this is convenient since I usually have my phone with me and I can squeeze an update on here and there. Like the daily quotes and the ability to add my own photo or inspirational saying. Definitely recommend!

I admit this app has been crucial to getting me to journal more frequently. And maybe $5 and tax is worth that. But on the whole, it seems the key to this apps success is the fact that its got a following already, no one seems to mind the price tag. For starters, it is extremely lacking in features...and I can appreciate minimalism, no problem. Its just that there are certain things missing that could make this a flawless app. For example, I cant count the number of times have I typed out my daily entry and forgotten to save, leave the app, only to return to a blank page. Everything gone. Autosave is the least they could have, no? I can understand the lack of a customizable/dynamic/creative visual aesthetic. I can understand the lack of calendars, icons and visual aids. But why have the picture of the day and nothing else? Not only is it placed first on the list (what?) it seems like an arbitrary addition to the journaling process. The developers could easily add a selection of add-ons for the user to customize and beef up their journaling experience. Perhaps a simple version of the journal (identical to the book version) and one that enables you to create the journal you always wanted. Thats what 5 bucks should get you these days...

I never write reviews, but this app is just too great not to shout it from the rooftops! A great twice daily practice that is easy to do. I love that you can add a picture to accompany your days entry. What are you waiting for!?

This really is a fantastic journaling app. Ive downloaded and tried several others but this app is the first one that regularly pulls me away from my paper journal.

Easy to use and love that it can be exported. The reminders are helpful.

No excuses not to write and no need to pack my journal to travel. Love the reminders but would like to choose what time I receive them.

Its scientifically proven to help being happy!

Perfect start and end to each day. Thank you for a simple and wonderful app that helps the thoughts of gratitude and happiness flow. And it only takes 5 minutes people.

I love the ease of use and the simplicity of how I can put this in my daily routine No more excuses here!!

Easy to use. I love that I can access it on my iPad also! I have recommended this app to my friends. Its going to be an amazing day!

I couldve gotten this app free via Starbucks a couple of months ago, but the time ran out. Glad I listened to my intuition and paid for it. A great activity that helps me be mindful every day of whats most important!

I look forward to using the journal. It helps me set the tone of the day and it helps me access the day in the evening and not just let it be a blur.

I use it with my miracle Morning every day and its fantastic!

I love 5 Minute Journal! I did the book journal for six months and wondered how I would adjust to it electronically. I enjoy it just as much! Its a great way to bookend my day, and I really like the photo feature as well.

This app is amazing! Its so good to take the time daily to think about the day ahead of you...and then re-visit to see where your day did actually take you!
