Nice article, highly agree with it! :) i’ve spent the last few years building an app fir your first point: “write down three things you’re grateful for every day” https://mindhappy.page.link/app Its really amazing to see entries from years ago and you can effectively learn what you like from doing this consistently

A superficial feedback based on your play-store presence:

Your app icon is aesthetically unappealing. The yellows, reds and greens are too saturated and clash with each other and with blue background. I wouldn't want to keep seeing that icon on my phone app list.

The app itself also has questionable design choices. The light blue background is too saturated and not good for text readability. I understand the brown background is not part of the app, but it still leaves bad impression in the screenshots. Maybe a color selection tool like huemint.com could be used for more pleasant and usable experience.

Text entry box would benefit from more padding.

There is a screenshot ("73 entries") showing two days with no notes in them, with huge and meaningless cards; that seemed strange and unrepresentative.

The app description doesn't make it clear which features require subscription.

I hope this feedback helps. Didn't intend to be insulting in any way.

At $57/year I’m struggling to see the value-add compared to a more-full featured journaling solution.
