5 Minute Journal: Self-Care App Reviews

Great way to remind yourself of the things that matter most. :)

I like the concept of the app, however it doesn’t give you a plain notes section so you could put your own category of information. I want a blank section to put whatever info I want. I will not be using the app.

I love the daily photo aspect of the app. No complaints at all so far after a few weeks... Well, my only "complaint" is this app has completely my physical journal

Thank you for putting this on the iPhone! I really like how streamlined it is and what an amazing practice to start-get it!

I love that I can tap into my most positive self and stay on track. This is a wonderful app!!

What a quick and easy way to journal. Im not into journaling, so this is s perfect quick way for me to keep focused on positive aspects of the day in less than 5 minutes every morning and evening!

Really enjoying this addition to my daily meditation practice. Simple to use. Inspirational. Fun. Thanks!

Absolutely love it, it really is working gratitude into my life

The 5 minute journal is finally part of my daily habits. As an app it was a lot easier for me to adapt the habit of doing my entries twice a day. The photo feature is an excellent bonus to capture a moment of each day!

Like most things that help - its simple and effective but not many do it. Please dont be the person that understands the value conceptually but doesnt implement it tactically.

Very easy to use and worth the cost. Best quick write journal Ive found.

I like that it has the 3D Touch option now but it takes me right to the journal without asking for my passcode. Now anyone using my phone can get into it. Thats not cool

Bought this on a whim after reading the reviews, and its probably the one (sort of) journaling app that I use consistently. I can capture a great deal of information in five minutes; the format simple but I can cover a fair bit of ground. On really tough days, when I feel like finding three things to be grateful is too onerous, I try hard to reframe my thoughts. Without compromising the truth, this app allows me to capture those struggles and also my efforts to "pull up". It helps more than I could have imagined!

Its easy to use and make time for in our faced paced world to carve out a few personalized moments for gratitude. I love that you can access pictures to remember each day. Im on day one and I already want to do it tomorrow! Im definitely going to get the hard copy for my boyfriend and I. ✨✨

I love this app...a quick way for me to journal in 5 minutes capturing the goals and highlights of the day. I would love to see the app turn with landscape mode in future enhancements....

Another reviewer said it best - finally a daily habit. From the inspirational quotes to the east prompts, youll use this app. I have had other before and often times I would just say yes Im going to do it at some point. But this one makes sense, what are you grateful for? Write three things. What is your daily affirmation? One line. Daily picture? Its that easy. I have other journal apps, I have journals, but I find myself using this one more than the others. More importantly I feel good about reflecting each day. It works and if journaling is something that you want to do but struggle with the I bet that it will likely work for you.

Makes it very easy to record your thoughts in the morning and the evening.. My only wish is that it was available for iPad..

I used to have the 5minjournal book, but always struggled with logging my nightly entry because I would leave the journal downstairs etc. the app is the best and easiest way to organize all my thoughts and stick to a routine. Thank you!!

This app is a great supplement to the actual journal - if not better. The morning and night notifications really help keep you on track and maintain the habit.

Huge fan of Alex and Mimi and I love their work! This app is just amazing and convenient. Makes you think when youre writing which ends up making you appreciate life more (things u have, things we take for granted). Sets up your brain for a positive day and it improves your daily tasks as well. Since you write the main tasks daily it pushes you to accomplish them. The app is more improved now, I love it!
