I got this app because it looked so simple and easy to use, and it was for the first week. It gave me the free trial right up front and said that I didn’t have to worry about it charging me automatically after it was over, so that was also really nice. The layout is great and I really liked it, except for one major thing. You have to get the premium to be able to record your days! That, to me, seems very strange and was not made clear anywhere. When you click on the premium trial thing, it says it removes ads, you get a free theme and advanced stats, and so forth, but it doesn’t say anywhere that you have to get the premium pass to be able to record more than seven days worth. Without the pass, you have to watch an ad to record your day, which would be fine except you have to do that every single day and seeing as how this is a mental health help app, that seems a bit off-beat. Would recommend, if you pay or don’t mind ads, but otherwise it is useless.

I’m only two weeks in to using this app, but when added as a calendar widget on my home screen on my phone, it’s cute and clear and easy to see which days you’ve done. It is one of the easiest journaling apps I’ve used, and one of the only ones that has been able to keep my attention for this long. Although, I would like it if we could add more items in the categories, like in the Hobbies section, there is a Painting option, but no Drawing or Dancing or Knitting option, which could easily be customized by the user - instead of adding one new block at the bottom of the page. Speaking of customizing, I know the theme is peas in a pod (right?) but if the colors or themes could be unlocked as time goes on, or as holidays happen, or seasons, etc. it would keep attentions easier and it would add a creative kick to it. Besides that bit- of simple cosmetics - If it weren’t for the limited options, it would easily be 4-5 stars.

First of all, out of all the "self care tracking" apps I've used this is the easiest one. It's really simple, doesn't take too long to enter a day and it's relatively straight forward. You can filter by the icons you've assigned to different things, for example if you want to see how many times you've socialized with friends over the past few weeks, you can make it display that rather quickly. So that's cool and all but I still think the app could use some improvements: 1. The bean color is not colorblind friendly, regardless if you purchase a pack or not, they are all greenish or pinkish, we should be able to customize their colors to make them more distinguishable (give us a color slider or something because the little faces aren't enough in my opinion). 2. The ads pop up after you log a day and if you don't watch it, the day won't save, which is kinda greedy. I don't mind the ads that much because they're quick and the app is free but I wish there were a one time purchase price for the premium features, no way am I paying monthly for what this app currently has to offer. All in all, I'm still going to use this but it could be better.
