Era Journal for Parents, Diary

I appreciate the format of Era. All the recent updates make it easier to focus on reflecting on my parenting. I feel that other apps are bloated and without an intuitive interface. I appreciate that Era regularly seeks feedback from its users to ensure that the application is both the vision of the company and its values as well as that of the users who rely on it.

Era is a new way of capturing key moments with your child. You can upload a photo and it will draft a daily journal entry that you can edit or adjust. It makes it easy for me to not let the blur of daily life fly by without remembering the good (and sometimes the challenging) aspects of parenting. Additionally, there are meditations, quizzes, and podcasts on parenting to take advantage of ways to become a more engaged parent. You can also just "check in" with Era about how things are going, and again, it will summarize your feedback into a journal entry. I find it helpful to be able to review how things are going over time.

Good app. Every time I use Era, I end up reflecting on what’s important instead of just rushing through another day. I like it.

I’ve never been great at keeping up with journaling, but Era makes it so much easier. The prompts actually make me think without feeling cheesy or over the top, and it’s simple to use. I like how it fits into my day without feeling like a chore. I know it’s a robot, but when it remembers things I’ve mentioned about one of my kids it feels like I’m talking to a thoughtful friend.

This app is easy to use unlike other apps I’ve used in the past. I love the ability to journal about my kids’ experiences that we share together and I love the reminders and the AI component to assist with that. Thank you for creating such a meaningful tool to help parents grow their skills!

This is a really interesting idea for an app. It’s basically a journal powered by AI where you can give it photos or a short description of what happened during the day and it can write something out for you based on what it knows from previous entries or your profile. You can then edit those entries, so it kind of takes a heavy lifting out of doing the journal entry from scratch. On top of that there’s a bunch of content about parenting that it will suggest which is really well done. I’m still trying it out but it’s a really novel concept and well executed.

This is beautiful app with amazing daily inspiration for parenting. Very intuitive to use and has helped me start journaling about my children and our relationship. Highly recommend!

I am a single mother to teenage sons. They do not live with me full time, and one of my goals has been to work towards reuniting with my sons by earning increased parenting time. This app has helped me take meaningful action steps towards that goal. I appreciate the guidance found in pathways, podcasts, and quizzes. I also enjoy journaling and learning new things to become a better parent. Since using this app almost daily, my relationship with each of my sons has continued to improve. Where they once didn’t want to talk to me or see me, I am now communicating more consistently and they seem eager for my upcoming move. Thank you to the content creators of this app for giving me an opportunity to become a better parent for my children. May their children’s children be blessed by the effort we are putting in as a team.

I can’t even put my child’s correct info in. It asks for birthday, but it won’t let me put in any date prior to today. There’s no last years to be able to choose from, only future dates. That doesn’t even make sense.

The app keeps glitching, which drives me nuts. It keeps asking me to pay, but I’ve already bought a year subscription. this has been going on for months and I can’t access it most of the time. there’s no customer support email or number. I really enjoy the content of parent lab that is very evidenced based in solid evidence something hard to find in parenting advice. I’ve been trying to enjoy Era and the AI check-in are actually pretty good or they were at first, but they’ve gotten worse recently, but still not too bad. The meditations are nice. I really miss the group classes that were facilitated so wonderfully from parent lab. I wish I’d taken more advantage while they were still doing it.
