Simultaneously a work in progress and a masterpiece - a reflection of us

I’ve got to start out with saying that I think this app was made for me. It checks all of the boxes for the experience I was looking to have in journaling, which included harnessing AI for in depth self discovery. It’s aesthetically pleasing and I enjoy using it very much. This app has already changed in the short time I’ve been using it, and every new implementation makes me feel even more seen, and reaffirms that I’ve found a true gem, that will only continue to get better over time. Thank you! The subscription is worth it for me, to get more use out of the AI. I might even buy the lifetime membership when my financial situation is more stable. There are just so many applications for use of the AI in this app. I have been mostly using it for dream analysis, and keeping track of my goals. Highly recommend.

I got this virtual journal because I always worry too much about the way my page looks when I'm writing. Like, screw the aesthetics! Let's get into what we really came here for. REFLECTION. I love the daily prompts and the monthly recaps. If you're really in a writing mood you can free write, get themed writing inspiration, or add to ones you already made. They have questions divided into sections about the mind, body, soul, etc. The tags to help keep track of your writing is so fun to use. I find myself looking forward to the time I spent Journaling with myself everyday and I've never been good at staying consistent. You can make a free account to access your journal on multiple devices. Plus, I haven't encountered a pay wall yet. This app gets 5 stars from me!

This is amazing!

To Dave, Mike, and your Team- Thank you for this. I’ve journaled in the past, but this is different. Having your thoughts and feelings summarized and sent back to you in a structured way, along with reflective questions and coaching rather than just dumping everything and leaving it there, is a game changer. Especially if you experience any kind of mental overload that leaves you feeling lost and exhausted. I feel the free version gives you enough to truly help and build on, and, while I’ve not purchased it at this time, I feel the cost to upgrade is reasonable and worth doing, so I will be doing this.

As someone who has been trying to journal, but finds it impossible, I stumbled across this app and am currently on day 6 in a row of using it. It is so much easier for me to write on a computer or phone than it is for me to write with a pen or a pencil. My favorite feature is the summary of your entries. It makes a lot of sense of what I can sometimes ramble on about. The only suggestion I have is to make it customizable in layout and theme on the journal entry. Or having a “cover” like a real journal. Something to make it feel like hand journaling, and something to give a splash of creativity and color to your entries.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We're thrilled the app has made journaling click for you—6 days in a row is amazing! We appreciate your suggestions, and we actually have active feature requests for some of these. Please email us at hello@reflection.app, and we'll add you to the relevant lists and keep you in the loop as we make progress!
Reflection is now more reliable and helpful! Personalized prompts and other AI coaching features recover faster from connection issues, journal-wide Search now has improved accuracy with larger journals, and responses better match your language and tone. We also made sign-in navigation more reliable, improved web performance, and many more more bug fixes and stability improvements.
Love using Reflection? We’d appreciate a review.
