Three Good Things - A Happiness Journal Reviews

by JustOneBite

Since this is supposed to be a gratitude journal, I feel like there shouldn’t be any guilt or obligation attached to it. But it has a counter, that tells you how many days in a row you’ve written your 3 things. This seems counterproductive to me. If I’m having a good day, and don’t get to writing until 12:01am, the counter resets. Only have 2 things because the day wasn’t great and you struggled to find 2 things? Counter resets. So then, you’re having a bad day, and ThreeGoodThings makes you feel like a loser. Also, only 100 characters. Good idea, but if I can find something better I’ll be switching.

I’ve only been using for a week now but find myself every day wishing there were more character space to write my gratitudes down. Giving a short explanation why things “went good” would need a little perspective. I’d like to be able to look back at a later date and have perspective on the reasons I wrote what I did at the time. I’ll definitely look for a different app that allows more “journaling”

I quite like ThreeGoodThings and how it set up “streaks” so you have incentive to do it everyday. I think it is very simple and easy to use which is wonderful.

I don’t like that it limits you to ONLY 3 good things a day. I wish it made a minimum of 3, but you could do more. Sometimes, I have really good days and I have to choose between things I’m grateful for. Otherwise, very nice app!

Quick and low-key, familiar feeling as posting a quick tweet. Low stimulation makes it perfect for my night time routine, and it kind of puts the whole day into perspective in a positive way. There’s only like 100 characters allowed per “good thing” you wrote, so I like that it can’t become a journaling experience I get overly sucked into because that’s sully what makes me want to skip journaling at the end of a long day to begin with. Easy to use, easy to stick with, easy to love. Sometimes simple really is better,

I had a journal similar to this that a friend gave me. It helped a lot during a difficult time and unfortunately when I moved I forgot which box it was packed in. I found ThreeGoodThings, and I am so happy it’s free. Easy to use and to the point. I wish in a way it was more spruced up (quotes, stickers, something), but it’s still great

Use it as my daily gratitude journal. It captures positive thoughts in a quick and concise manner. I’ve always been challenged to be consistent in my daily recording. This forces me to be specific and succinct about what went well and what I’m grateful for daily. The daily reminder is a great feature. Set at 9pm to ensure the day doesn’t end without slowing down and being fully present to reflect on what went well. I refer ThreeGoodThings to friends, family and colleagues all the time! Today I’m grateful for “3 Good Things!”

My mind keeps turning, largely due to anxiety-ridden racing thoughts. I’ve been trying to establish a bedtime rhythm for years, and I finally have a fledgling rhythm centered around this practice. Bonus: I didn’t realize how much ThreeGoodThings was helping until other people started commenting on how happy I’ve been recently. Highly recommend!

It’s easy. It’s free. It doesn’t collect personal information or bombard you with ads. Love. Love. Love ThreeGoodThings. It helps me focus each night on the best parts of my day. There is a gentle reminder and it only takes a moment or so. I am a mental health therapist and I am going to recommend ThreeGoodThings to all my clients. Thank you!!!

ThreeGoodThings is so simple and such a great idea. I have a notification set around 10pm, and it’s such a great way to reflect on good things that happened in the day. I’ve been recommending ThreeGoodThings to a bunch of people! But the last update was 2 years ago :( I hope we get some new updates soon, it’d be nice to see it fit fully on the new iPhone screens!

I had my daughter get ThreeGoodThings as she is becoming a teenager! I wanted her to have ThreeGoodThings to help her stay positive as she grows into a beautiful young women! ThreeGoodThings is great and she has created goals to try and get to a streak of 50. I told her once she reached this we can go have a spa day just us two! I am very pleased with ThreeGoodThings and have seen a very positive change in attitude since I had my daughter get ThreeGoodThings!

Are busy world it’s easy to loose track of all of the good things that happen in our lives.
It’s easier to focus on the stress. This is helping acknowledge the good. I could write at least 5 things every day, even more. 3 is a good start. Just don’t stop thinking about these things when your done.

I love that I can set a reminder for myself, so at the end of the day - I simply reflect for 3 things that were good.
It nice to reflect on the day and find things that may be beyond that large scope
Instead of just being grateful for family - I’m able to remember I got make them breakfast one morning
Quick short snap shots for a dose of gratitude

I love how simple and quick it is and only 5 days in I’ve already noticed a change in my attitude as I look for good things each day and remember them so I can write them down each night. I started out having a hard time thinking of just 3 now I have to choose which to record because I notice so many more! Such a great tool for everyone to have.

I really like ThreeGoodThings. Small, simple, does it’s job. I also like the fact that it frames the situation by asking for 3 things that went well today, instead of the usual “what are you thankful for”, or “why are you blessed”(ugh). And by asking for things that went well, I believe you are still getting to the same information.

I have been using ThreeGoodThings for over a month now and I’m loving it! I feel happier than I did a month ago and it takes a lot of my anxiety away especially during these dark times. The only thing I think they could improve on is having an option to exceed the 100 letter limit. Other than that I absolutely love ThreeGoodThings! Have a great day and stay safe!!! 👍🏻

It’s good for when your stressed...When you feel like nothing in your day is good, try ThreeGoodThings! It helps you focus on more positive things that happened throughout the day then the negative! And even for the gamers, they added levels and XP! (Experience Points) Overall, I find this a really good app and really suggest checking it out. It’s not like Angry Birds, Rules of Survival, even Geometry Dash, but it’s still very useful and worth looking into!

by Carebuck

Three good things has been a part of my nightly routine for the past three years. I fill out the three things that I’m thankful for, even if they’re little. It truly has helped me at the end of the day to remind myself to be optimistic and thankful for my friends and family for every moment. It is a great addition to your routine and keeps me appreciative and happier in my daily life!

I love ThreeGoodThings and the purpose of it. I think this is the best one because it is free, it is streamlined, and it has slots for each of the 3 things each day. The layout is great and the reminders will help me make this a consistent part of my self care routine.
I just hope that ThreeGoodThings can be updated to fill the full iPhone 11 screen and possibly a slightly higher character count. Overall, thank you for ThreeGoodThings! 🙏🏻

Since starting this, I can not miss a single day. I love to live a positive lifestyle and even on a not so great day, being able to look at 3 good things makes a world of difference. I even shared about in my Facebook group page , Real Talk Live with Lori Dowling. The group is a page created to focus on personal growth and development, health and wellness, positivity and growth. I had to share this with my members and tell this how awesome this is!! Thank you for creating it!!

ThreeGoodThings is absolutely perfect! I have been wanting to keep a gratitude journal or something like this for several years now. ThreeGoodThings has made it so very easy for me...I am only on day one of my streak lol but I am smiling already, feeling like I’ve accomplished something and know it will be something I do daily from now on. All because of ThreeGoodThings! Thanks so very much for putting this together!
Eternally Grateful,
Melissa
