Waffle: Shared Journal

doubtful rating

The shared diary concept for couples or families is sound: the questions genuinely help people connect across distance. But an aggressive onboarding with a forced rating before first use and an abrupt move to a paid model undermine trust.

About the rating

Many five-star reviews written before any real use of the app, or are plainly absurd in content, pointing to an abnormal rating funnel.

Strengths

What users love

  • For long-distance couples
  • Daily questions create a shared ritual and give a reason to talk about something real.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • The number of journals directly affects the subscription price
  • So active users end up trapped: the more they used it
  • The more it costs to continue.

Who it is for

Couples or close people at a distance who want to keep a living conversation through questions
