5 Minute Journal・Daily Diary
doubtful ratingAfter a major update the app lost the trust of a large portion of its loyal audience: many lost years of personal entries, the interface grew more complex, and gamification elements appeared. The morning and evening gratitude journal format itself works.

About the rating
Store score 4.76 vs text score 2.65 with 62% one-to-two-star ratings in the sample, a stark gap. Many templated enthusiastic new reviews accompany a wave of anger from longtime users who lost data after the v3 update. A distorted picture.
Strengths
What users love
- A clear question structure for morning and evening reflection builds a habit. A photo chronicle and life documentation. For new users without history the interface looks clean.
Weak spots
What users hate
- After the update many users lost years of entries without warning. The minimalist design that was the app's hallmark gave way to an overloaded interface with gamification elements.
Who it is for
Suits those who are just starting out and have no accumulated history. Hard to recommend to app veterans.
