Inside Then Out

I was really frustrated with the functionality of this app, but I also know that it is new so hopefully it will improve with later updates. Here are the issues that I ran into: • I downloaded the app last night and completed the first prompt, but once I returned to the homepage, the app had only saved the first two sentences of what I wrote. • In the free version of the app, you can only access one prompt per day, so I signed up for the paid annual subscription to access the rest of the journal and work at my own pace. However, the paid subscription also only lets you access one page per day. • As of this morning, the prompt still has not changed, and there is no option to move forward and access the next one. • The paid annual subscription costs the same as the digital journal for sale on their website, which does allow you to access all of the prompts at once. I recommend going with that option, as it is a much better value. • The reviews for the journals on the app are almost all test reviews written by an app developer or employee. If you’d like to see real customer reviews, go to their website. • The app also posted my review of the journal twice, which impacted the average rating (I’m so sorry!) You also cannot scroll down to read longer reviews in the app. • The formatting is also very strange. The text is very large and crowded, which makes it difficult to read longer pieces or edit your writing as you go. • The app also freezes a lot and loads very slowly. I had to restart it several times. I’ve heard amazing things about these journals and am still very excited to try out the digital versions from the site, but as of right now this app is way too limited and barely functions as a journal. You have no control over what prompts you’re given or when they change, and you run the risk of your entries not being saved and having to start all over. I think the concept is great, so I hope it will improve in the future. But for now, stick to the physical or digital copies from their site.

Big fan of my physical Inside Then Out journal. Thrilled to experience this digital version. If you want to journal more, this is has a low barrier to entry. Quick and thought-provoking prompts. Can’t recommend enough.

I really love this journaling app! Their prompts are better than any other app I’ve come across thus far. I never used to be big on journaling, but these daily prompts really help me think about questions I might not have considered. Would recommend to anyone that likes digital journaling or just wants to reflect more!

My favorite journal brand is finally an app which I have been waiting for! It is more accessible and I can journal at anytime!

I just started using Inside Then Out’s app, and it's super easy to use. The daily prompts are really helpful, especially those mornings where I don’t have time to physically journal. I love how simple it has been to fit into my daily routine and the prompts make a big difference in the quality of my day. Definitely deserves five stars!!
