Description

The Five Minute Journal uses proven principles of positive psychology to make you happier in 5 minutes a day with the guided gratitude journaling format

“There are plenty of benefits to journaling, whether you take time to write out your full thoughts or just spend a few minutes jotting down the things you're most grateful for every day or lessons you've learned. Five Minute Journal for the iPhone makes this process easy enough to do on the go.” — Lifehacker

BENEFITS OF PRACTICING GRATITUDE

Cultivating gratitude can positively impact all areas of your life—from personal growth and emotional intelligence to meaningful relationships and enhanced productivity. A lot of thought leaders practice gratitude (including Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson, Tim Ferris, and many others), as studies have found it improves health, has lasting positive effects on the brain, and is a key to mental wellbeing.

Practicing gratitude with the Five Minute Journal app brings you a more positive outlook on life and ability to notice wonderful things and capture the life-changing experiences. The key is consistency. With its thoughtful features and a structure to help you focus on what’s good, you will find The Five Minute Journal app to be a great way to start and end your day.

Amazing!

Keeps you looking at the bright side of life and nourishes a growth mindset. I love getting to take a pic everyday. Keeps me looking all day for inspiration, or something about the world around me that brings me joy!

New update is a money grab - Do not buy

I bought this app more than 3 years ago. Have 3 years of pictures and journals that all vanished with the latest update. Tried to connect using my Facebook account and it tells me that it already imported this account. When I login, my journal is completely blank. Nothing left. And they tell me that to get the same functionality I used to have and have been using for the last 3 years, I need to now buy an annual subscription. Stay away. Terrible.

We’re happy to confirm that your journal entries are safe and sound but it’s likely that you accidentally created a new account using Apple or Google signin. The Five Minute Journal app will not allow you back into your old account if you have accidentally created new accounts under a different sign-in method like through Apple ID or Google. You must delete these new accounts first, before being able to access your existing account. To do this, we ask that you please tap the Account icon on the top bar, select your Account/Profile and confirm the date that you joined. If it shows you have joined this month at the bottom, you can safely delete this duplicate empty account by visiting "Account Security". Keep doing this to any and all new accounts you may have created. This must be done first. Then, you will be able to sign in to your old account, likely via Email + Password, or Facebook, especially if you are a long-time user. Once you are back in, this will give you the option to update your account, import your entries and receive the 12 months of premium for free. Please feel free to email our support at hello@intelligentchange.com if you require further assistance. We're happy to help.

After 2 years I’m angry at changes

I paid for this app and have used it for 2 years, and really enjoyed it. Until today. Today the app changed and now unless you go with premium you can’t put your daily picture on your entry. A free year and then 31.99 yearly.
I’ve already paid for the app. Don’t do it. There have to be better options. I’m going to look for one.

Developer Response ,

We're very sorry to hear of your disappointment with the update. We've worked very hard to implement all sorts of new features that have been requested by users over the years. With all these updates, in order to maintain a sustainable future for the Five Minute Journal app, we did have to make adjustments to the pricing structure. However, as an existing user, you will be eligible for a free one-year subscription to the premium features. We're confident that you will thoroughly enjoy all the new premium features. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email our support at hello@intelligentchange.com. We're happy to help.
