Prompted Journal Reviews

At first I was in love with PromptedJournal, it is well made, the journal entries were fabulous, but one day I opened PromptedJournal to journal and I found that every one of my entries that I had painstakingly written to be both thoughtful and well written were all gone. PromptedJournal had reset without any warning so I could save them, it presented me with the same request for the monthly payment again, even though I had already paid for this month. Then it showed me the daily prompt- the same one I had gotten on my first day and already filled out. All of my hard work was lost, and yet I am still expected to pay twice for one month’s usage. I am extremely disappointed with PromptedJournal, as it was once one of my favorites, but I now realize that the quality is exactly what you pay for- 99 cents a month. Obviously care and time was used to create PromptedJournal , but the creators must have stopped looking for bugs in the software. I am extremely angry and frustrated at the loss of my hard work, and once again I say how disappointed I am in an app that seemed genius when I first purchased it, I loved it truly the best part of my day was reflecting on myself with it. I am truly disappointed and upset that all of my work was lost, and I want to warn anyone who gets PromptedJournal that their work could be lost at any time, and none of it is safely protected.

I’ve been using Prompted Journal since May and I have found the prompts too be quite reflective and introspective. However, it seems I have reached the end of new prompt cycle and for the last week I’ve been getting a repeat of prompts since the beginning of the journal which has been very annoying. I had to go through and delete all the old prompts just so I hopefully won’t see those questions again.

I also think it could be cool if there were some more light hearted questions because many of the prompts can be quite heavy—-“think about being on your death bed, what’s the last thing you’d say” or questions akin to that. I mean I guess there’s nothing wrong with it because these are things that are worth pondering, but at the same time I don’t want to have 4 to 5 prompts within the same week detailing my mortality. It kind of takes away the fun. I think PromptedJournal is OK but could use some tweaking, especially related to repetitive prompt questions, like once I write a prompt, I don’t want to see it again.

As someone who’s been journaling in paper notebooks for 10 years now and continues to this day, I was hesitant to get a journaling app because I figured I already did enough on my own. However, after using it for just a few days, I’m already in love with it. The prompts are such a wonderful way to get myself thinking about things that I wouldn’t normally record. Sometimes I look at the prompt early in the day to see if anything inspires me or I’ll surprise myself when I check in with my 7pm reminder and have to recall something that answers it instead. In a world where convenience is key, PromptedJournal surely fits the bill. Just yesterday something made me super happy and with no paper at hand to record my thoughts, I reached for my phone and opened this journaling app to quickly write it down. The prompt happened to be “Happiness is...” so my situation was very applicable at the time, but now I will say that happiness is definitely using PromptedJournal because it’s making me reflect on my life and the days events in a new, meaningful way which is pushing me to have better, happier days. Thank you for creating this straightforward, wonderful app! I also adore the font which makes the writing even more fun, so I highly highly recommend getting it!!

So, I’ve never used a journaling app before. I didn’t know they existed since like...maybe 10 minutes ago? I’ve journaled for about 8 years now, I think. Not everyday, though. And I usually don’t look back at past entries unless I’m bored. I was actually trying to find an app that as to do with writing, and found this. Which was interesting, for one thing.

I was expected there to be at least a few ads here and there but there’s not. Or at the very least some sort of paying involved to use PromptedJournal (I’ve used a lot of apps and most of them have ads, a pay wall, or both). Thank you so very much for not having either of those. Gives me some peace and quiet to try and work on my mental health. Very much appreciated 🙏

I’ve gotten so many journaling apps on my iPad and phone to try to start saving paper and make it easier for me to carry stuff in my purse as opposed to a journal and pens and markers. I was scared to get PromptedJournal because I thought it would be glitchy or cheap looking like other apps. Or look really good only to find out you have to pay upon opening PromptedJournal or using it a few times. BUT PromptedJournal is AWESOME. It’s none of those things described above. It’s cute, simple and to the point. It’s free for a trial period and then ONE DOLLAR a month. A steal. And you help out a small business. The only thing I do have to say is, the size on the iPad of the journal screen or image is a little to small for my iPad 6th gen. But it doesn’t cause Any glitches it’s just smaller in scale

Like most people, 2020 had been a rough year for me. It started in January on my bday and it just continued to spiral down. We’re now in July and who ones what day of quarantine this is anymore. Anyways, I wanted to start journaling because I didn’t have many people to talk to and I was tired of bottling up my emotions. I can across this prompted journal and its been amazing! The prompts are great because I’ve never journaled before and I didn’t want to start with “dear diary” everyday. The prompts are different each day and it helps me thinks about the positives and negatives, the things I want to change and future goals. I have the daily reminder set up at bedtime so I can add in any extra thoughts or feelings. Its really helped my anxiety and depression.

I am the last person I thought would migrate to using a digital journal. For years, I loved the beautiful, artistic paper journals that my fellow creatives would use to inspire and unblock the flow of ideas. However, I realized after moving overseas that adding to the huge accumulated stack of journals was completely not practical anymore. I also needed some thing that I could use on the fly, during travel, and during really busy periods. So I started dictating using my phone, and it certainly has helped me be more disciplined. I also appreciate the provocative questions when I don’t have something specific that I need to write about.

I recommend PromptedJournal to anyone.

There are so many journaling apps on the market but PromptedJournal is BY FAR the best. It is so simple and quick and I love how you can go back and add to a journal entry whenever you want because as humans we grow every day. I love that there are NO ADS and it is completely distraction free and Aesthetically pleasing. I wish I’d found PromptedJournal sooner. It’s also a lot easier to keep up with thanks to the daily prompts, leaving no room for writers block. So you can just go in a jot down a quick entry without it feeling like a chore. I have recommended PromptedJournal to friends, family and coworkers because its so easy to get lost in your day to day life and sometimes we all need to take a minute to reflect on ourselves everyday. 11/10 would recommend.

The whole experience of PromptedJournal is lovely. It’s beautiful and simple, has a specific function, and you can see the beauty in the details.

I love that they have a “go deeper” button for each writing prompt that explains ways you could think about the prompt. The font is elegant. The interface is simple yet thoughtful.

I’ve typically stayed away from journals that have prompts since I’ve been journaling all my life and feel that prompted journals are for those that are new at it and perhaps don’t know what to write about, but the prompts in PromptedJournal are pretty good. They make you connect with yourself on a deeper level and often lead to some profound insights about myself or the world, things I wouldn’t have thought to write about.

I haven’t yet gotten repeat prompts, but I’m excited for that. I love that aspect. It’s like a time capsule! That really seals the deal for me.

I also love that there’s no goal-oriented metric or streaks. I just journal when I feel like it, and that is refreshing since I have many other apps that I try to keep up with on a daily basis, so it can be exhausting.

Thank you for creating this wonderful app to write and store our treasured thoughts and stories! I can’t wait to see what is to come.

I know it Amy sound cheesy, but this journal has really allowed me to set with myself and find stillness peaceful. It’s not always the fact that PromptedJournal allows me to look at the past entries and see growth, rather, it’s the Fact that I’m able to go to PromptedJournal and find a space uninterrupted by ads (which I totally get you have to in most Cases in order to fund PromptedJournal ) and just exist. I can truly sit with my thoughts and allow myself to just vent but also be vented to by my conscious and subconscious mind. It’s a beautiful space and an even more beautiful world that PromptedJournal allows me part of and I’m forever get grateful that PromptedJournal exists and I’ve come across it. It’s Just so freeing to able to wonder aloud and know PromptedJournal allows me just some pale-Pink serenity!

I find I really like it. It helps me connect with my feelings because each day the journal suggests gentle questions that encourage me to make daily entries.
Left to myself with another journal app I feel I likely wouldn’t write every day.
The esoteric questions in this journal I’m using and reviewing are thought provoking. Some days I answer with a paragraph, other days I write long entries. The topics are always different, so I have a chance to think about something new every day and record my thoughts.
PromptedJournal has a setting that lets you set how many prompts PromptedJournal will give you each day. A prompt is a question to think about and write about. Mine is set to two per day. Most days I record my thoughts about each (both) prompts. It’s fun and interesting.

This is only my 3rd prompt in but I’m already loving it. I’m big on journaling releasing my thoughts onto paper. But I found myself more so “too busy” to set time to myself to write, with being a working mom in 2020 🥴 ... I stumbled across this little Gem 💎 of an app. And I’m real lying enjoying it. It reminds me with a 10mins alert before to set aside some free time for myself to journal. And that’s exactly what I needed. Usually I feel to tired by 930pm when I’ve had a long day. But since theirs an alert I feel more obligated and needed to let go and release. And find a time to be truth with myself about present and past things. I love PromptedJournal and I love how it’s an independent app. It such a gentle app unlike others I’ve tried in the past, real light on the eyes. A real Warm feeling. Gets an A++ in my book. I’m a simple gal, and this is right for me !!

Okay So..
I’ve seen so many stupid jounal apps that make you pay to literally just write.
I was not expecting much from PromptedJournal, yet still decided to give it ago, And boy am I glad I did! Because immediately I knew that the creators actually care for who is using it, and want to help you even though they have never ever met you, I love how you don’t put in your email, for constant spam and I love how there is no ads! I’m thinking about purchasing premium to help the creators, since there is no ads in PromptedJournal to help them keep PromptedJournal alive! And because PromptedJournal is so amazing that I want to use its full potential! I love the prompts, because they are actually meaningful and it’s nice when you look back and see what you wrote the day before or the year before! I just downloaded PromptedJournal and usually review it after a week! But this definitely deserves to be reviewed immediately! If your reading this review please download! It will be the best decision of you hole app downloading life!

I truly enjoy how convenient PromptedJournal is. You don’t have to pay for it unless you want the additional perks which is uncommon nowadays. So that’s the first perk: that it’s free until you want more! Second perk is that it send reminders to me at the same time everyday so I do actually take that time to do some self-care writing and soul searching. The third perk: the prompts aren’t restricting. I can take each prompt in whatever direction I feel like and never feel like I failed answering the prompt. The fourth perk and final perk I will list is that it is sooo convenient. I am a busy person and taking time to write in an actual journal became a hassle due to my perfectionist nature. This is simple and tells me what the focus on and I can do it before bed, when I wake up, or even when I’m on the toilet. It’s not restricting whatsoever.

The minimalist layout and user-friendly design is lovely, unlike most apps these days that increase cortisol levels with confusing UI, constant paywalls and difficult navigation. The free version offers a lot- and their premium version is what premium versions should be! Just a hint more bonus things plus supporting PromptedJournal , which invites intention for the user to choose. I may subscribe annual just to support the developers and so it can stay just as great as it is now. The price is reasonable, again compared to most apps out there. The prompts are fantastic. The dig deeper option is ⭐️, love that it’s a nudge but not required. This is a top 5 fave app for me. It’s one of the only ones I seem to keep up with consistently. I love reading old entries. I love that I don’t need to login, but can save pdfs. 💕 thank you !!

I have been looking for a prompted journal for quite a long time, but most of the ones that I have found recently have been AI, and I am not too keen on AI knowing my deepest thoughts and feelings. If I am journaling, I want to be talking to myself, and not a robot thank you. And I feel like PromptedJournal really brings that balance of feeling like guiding you so you don’t come to the blank paper unsure of what to write, but also gives you the feeling of being alone with your own thoughts and feelings, which is so key for journaling. I am really excited for the aspect of being able to come to the same prompts within a few months, and then be able to see your previous answers and being able to see how you have grown and changed throughout the time that you have been journaling. Just a very well thought out app, and I am very excited to support them!

I’ve been writing in these journal prompts for over a year and it’s been unexpectedly wonderful. On a day to day basis it helps me start my day on a positive and centered note- feeling grateful and creating goals. What I didn’t expect what that you can look back at what you wrote the last time you were prompted with that question or what you wrote on the same day last year.
Not long ago my dog died. To say I love her is a vast understatement. But as I was writing in the journal I decided to look back at what I had written last time I was asked. I had written about my dog and how worried I was about her torn ACL and all of her surgeries to remove her tumors. The journal was incredibly important in healing from that loss because I was reminded that her body was ready to go- something my grief had not let me see.
To see how you grow and change throughout your writing and answers is pretty special. We don’t always see the little changes on our own.

I was reading the reviews for this and sorted them by “most critical” and was very surprised to see all these critical comments! The biggest reason people were putting one star was because you supposively have to “pay money”, but you don’t. For anyone reading, I just want to be clear, it suggest you pay money for a few different things, but it never forces you to. Sure, we do want to do some more things on PromptedJournal without paying money, but hey, you can’t get everything you want!
Now, for my review, I LOVE PromptedJournal. I’ve been searching Barnes and Nobles for a prompted journal but never found anything to my liking. When I found this, I was super excited. There are tons of different prompts to answer from, and it really does help you reflect on what’s going on in your life!
My ONLY negative comment is I wish we could do more than 2 prompts per day. (3 if you’re paying). But I’m not complaining, PromptedJournal is genuinely amazing and I seriously recommend it!

First of all, I never write reviews; but I love PromptedJournal so much, I had to do my part to help the people who created it. If you had told me one month ago that I would be journaling and looking forward to it every single day, I wouldn’t have believed you. But with PromptedJournal, it’s absolutely true! I’m addicted to it. I’ve NEVER been one to journal and write my thoughts down, but PromptedJournal has completely changed that about me and I love it. It’s so simple and elegant and easy to use. I look forward to seeing a new prompt every day and reflecting on it throughout my day; and I usually end my day by writing in bed before I go to sleep. It has helped me mentally and emotionally too. The prompts are well-designed and thoughtful and open-ended enough to not be limiting. I decided to pay for the full version just because the developers did such a great job of making PromptedJournal so enjoyable to use. If you’re on the fence about getting PromptedJournal and are skeptical about journaling in any way, Get. This. App.

I have been wanting to start journaling for awhile now but just never seemed to do it. Plus, I want to get a little deeper with myself and push myself to think more and maybe grow as a result.

I did a search and I found a review by another woman that said pretty much the same thing and that PromptedJournal isn’t pushy and made her think a bit. I decided to give it a try due to her review so perhaps I will be the review that encourages you to give PromptedJournal a try now too.

I have enjoyed this journal and the daily prompts quite a bit. I get kind of excited at what the prompt will be as I open it up each day. I think you should try it out too
