Description

Transform your life & evolve into the best version of yourself. From the authors of the bestselling “Five Minute Journal,” loved by over 1.8 million people worldwide.

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.

Love it!!

The best thing I ever did for myself was get this app. I had the physical journal but always forgot to fill it out. I always have my phone so now it’s even easier to stay focused. Thanks guys!!

Ignored early adopters

The app was just recently updated and has now moved from paid to subscription. A lot of apps are following this approach but Five Minute Journal are not looking after early adopters (those who bought the app when it was as a one time purchase) like other apps who have made this change have.

They are only offering the new ‘premium’ features for free for ONE year only to existing users. Now if this was only new features this is fair enough but they are removing features I had before the update. For me this is unacceptable; for example the ability to add photos to entries (which was always part of the original app and available to all users) will now be locked under the premium pay-wall. So effectively after one year you will not be able to add photos unless you pay a subscription. Removing features that were part of the original version paid for leaves a very sour taste. For this reason I definitely won’t be signing up for a subscription and likely move to another app. Can’t recommend a company that does this to their existing customers.

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.

Disappointed user

I bought this app a couple of years ago and I am very disappointed to all of a sudden have all the features removed unless I pay a yearly subscription! Existing users should be able to continue to use this app as they were previously able to use it even if it is the old version!!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your honest feedback. We will be happy to discuss this further with you. Please feel free to email us at hello@intelligentchange.com.
