5 Minute Journal・Private Diary

Although this app seems to fit what I want, it’s waaay too limited on the free version + the trial is so short (3 days) and the subscription is pretty expensive. I mean paying for a Home Screen widget with an quote? That’s a bit much..

I bought this app and it’s with a lot of bugs inside! One day just stoped working, deleted my data and no one calls me back. Really disappointed!

Just write in t everyday and your gratitude to to your life will grow. You will find your self at peace , complaining much less and appreciating everything in your life. After 2months , My wife , came up to me one simply stating:" you are calmer and much happier and far less judgmental". That was an amazing feedback. I was doing it on the journal for a year and just now switched for the app.

Makes it easy to commit to changing your life one day at a time

I use this app every morning; however, today I didn’t use it, due to the day starting with chaos. Now at the end of the day, I am very aware that using this app in the morning centers me for the rest of the day.

I am really tight with spending money. The thought of spending $40 on a journal seemed insane. But I love it. Worth every single penny. I love the fact that I can easily reflect on how I felt over a period of time, and add photos and many different types of thoughts. I love that it focuses on what to be grateful for. I never rate things. But I had to rate this one.

I used to be a loyal user of the Five Minute Journal app, but I stopped using it a while ago because I encountered a major issue: I couldn’t log in with my existing account and kept getting stuck in a sign-in loop. I recently tried to sign in again, hoping the issue had been fixed, but it’s still the same. My account seems to have been lost during their system update, and there’s no way to recover it. It’s incredibly frustrating and disappointing. Until this problem is resolved, I can’t recommend this app to anyone.

This is not a journal, it like opening up quiz every time. I want to record my thoughts not what I am being told to. What is the point of this app?

The 5 min journal app has been an essential tool in my daily routine, particularly during my recent job search, which hasn't been the easiest period of my life. The feature I like the most is the daily affirmation, which has had a significant positive impact on my self esteem. The motivational sentence provides a daily dose of inspiration, reminding me of my strengths and capabilities. They have helped me maintain a positive mindset, even during times where I got rejections or simply no replies. They have also encouraged me to stay focused on my goals and take action towards achieving them. It sounds silly that simple sentences would lift you up, but it actually works, and they serve as a powerful reminder that I have what it takes to succeed, boosting my confidence and determination to pursue my search, to keep applying for jobs and networking. I can feel I'm getting one step closer each day and 5 min app has been supporting my journey. I've been using it for a while and haven't seen a repeated affirmation yet. This is all to say thanks for creating such an amazing app. I'll certainly continue using it even after finding a job, and its also great to feel you accomplished something at the end of the day with the daily learnings. The name of the app is true and it takes max 5 minutes each day to get all those benefits. I've learned selff-care with this app so I recommended to all my friends who are going through some stress or anxiety times. Don't be afraid of chasing support whenever you can even if its through the simplest things.

I have used this app for 6 years. I love it when it works. But more and more often over the years I spend time entering my text only to have it disappear. I have sent complaints about this happening and it still keeps occurring. I am so frustrated and obviously they can’t seem to fix the problem.
