Waffle
It makes me feel closer to my family and I love journaling.
Cost
Why can’t anything be free?
Help
I love the concept, but can’t get to the daily question.
Expensive
Doesn't tailor to the individual specifically. Generic questions which are in a variety of other apps, but cheaper
Review
It not that good because it asks the same questions over and over again but its good if u need to talk more to ur family or anything like that
Helps
It helps me focus And make me happy
It’s all about the money
It reels you in with hopes of great journaling and then says oh by the way you have to pay $50 to continue.
Great app
I think this app is great, it has great questions to reflect on and show gratitude. I paid for the premium subscription and it has some flaws, for one whenever you open it, it wants you to book a 30 min call for a free upgrade.. I already paid for the subscription so unsure why this keeps happening, also when your doing the journey it never lets you get to chapter 2 even when you’ve fully completed chapter 1. The only other thing is that I wish you could shuffle the questions more than 3 times or if not at least let you rotate back through them to pick your favorite at that moment not just get stuck on the last one, especially with the paid subscription.
Nice idea,
but annual billing turns away almost every customer that’s interested
Rating it
It’s interesting. They’re asking me to rate the app before I’ve even used it. I would probably have a better idea of what the app can do once I have used it.
Waffle
This app is amazing it helps family’s grow bigger and bigger by just sharing thoughts
Pay to journal
Thought it was an app to help you get closer to your daughter
It’s great
It’s great but one problem I only get 1 writing prompt per journal without plus and if I get it my sister does and then my mom also plays it so that would be a lot plus it’s just a pointless subscription I can just write in my journal app please improve on that P.s* also I cannot go search websites on google so don’t ask me too I’m not allowed
Be careful
Thought I was downloading the free version. I’m sad that I paid so much money for this app.
Not Sure Yet
Just longing on to get started. It has already asked for a large payment and I haven’t even started
Amazing!
Really good for getting to know your family and friends better plus you get fun and exiting questions!
Doesn’t work and you steal money
This app was not working g I did not sign up for the yearly subscription and you pulled money out of my account causing an overdraft. So now I have a year of your ‘services’ , no account because I deleted it and no response from your customer service about refunding my money. I am a single mother of a minor child who has a chronic illness and we live on a very fixed income….I want my money back and you need to do it NOW! Never in my life have I ever dealt with such a horrible experience!
Trial
Just starting this but looking forward to seeing this help keep communication alive with my son.
Haven’t used yet
Haven’t even used it yet and it’s asking to be rated. The concept is cool.
Not free
I thought this was a free app, but it’s making you only get a seven day trial for free
Alex Owens
Journal
Waste of money
Trying to cancel but it’s impossible! Had to call my bank
Crash issue
I had an old journal with my partner from April and it crashes the app when I try to open it. Other than that it is a great app and I enjoyed writing to my partner :)
I can’t rate it if I haven’t used it
You’re asking me to rate the app without me actually having used it yet
Good
Good, fun app-good for family talking or other things. wish you didn’t have to pay for plus tho.
Review or whatever
Yeah lowkey if ur fr like a kid and a guy its rlly corny and like yeah but im doing it to make the fam happy ig so yeah have fun if ur into this kinda feelings stuff?? Just not for me but someone else yeah Ill give 5star
PREVIOUS TITLE - forever one of my favorite apps
UPDATE: i suppose all good things must come to an end… it is now very distinctly a “freemium” app, with a cost that increases with the number of journals you have—since i raved so much about the app, i had tons of journals, and the unlimited tier is more than i can afford. none of my friends or family or coworkers are willing to pay that much either, so unfortunately we no longer use the app. i’d give it zero stars if i could. i’ve tried a LOT of journaling apps… probably 97% of the free ones 😅 this is by far THE best one, for so many reasons. i love the concept of a shared journal—i had been keeping a shared note with my friend, but it wasn’t really as efficient as i thought it would be. my mom and i used to have this tiny mailbox that we would leave notes in for each other, and this is exactly that. now that we no longer live together, this is perfect. it’s simple to use, even she can figure it out 😂 it’s beautifully designed and works perfectly. i honestly can’t believe how lovely it is, and it doesn’t even have any ads! there’s no “catch,” this isn’t one of those “freemium” apps that ultimately require a purchase to be any good. that said, now that i have had the privilege of experiencing the app, i’m actually more willing to pay a little to help support them than if i had been forced to do it in order to fully enjoy the app’s features. sato, the developer, is so incredibly nice and uses feedback to immediately improve the app. i love that i’m able to text him for any (app-related) support needed; i work all day, and texting is SO much more convenient than trying to navigate an online form or finding the time for a phone call. overall, i love how waffle allows me to stay in the loop about my friends’ and family’s lives. i work crazy hours and i don’t want to wake people up when i get home at 3 in the morning, but i love to read about their day and the little things they couldn’t share while i was working, or give my thoughts on something when they ask for advice. i also like to share a funny story from work or leave a picture of my cat 😁 it’s really nice that there’s no pressure to write out long entries cataloging every detail of the day; you can interact with it when you have the time and energy, instead of feeling obligated to answer a text right away. and for the days when you want to reach out but just don’t know what to talk about, there is even a list of prompts to choose from!!! this is genuinely one of the best apps i’ve ever had and will stay on my phone forever. thank you sato! 🧇
Great app
Simple, easy to use, Cons, Can’t see who’s commented on/how many comments on journal entries
Started great, now Sort of sucks
I bought this app for our anniversary. At first it was full of great questions and we would get about three questions a day and we loved filling them out. About two weeks later we only get one question per day and when I try to add a new list of questions or something. It just says “try later”. Definitely canceling. I wish it just would’ve stayed the way it was.
Money
It makes u think it’s totally free. And then. There goes the 7day trial bs
Can you make an iPad app please?
Would you please make an iPad app? Mac too would be nice. It seems great on the phone, but sometimes it’s easier to type more thoughtfully on a real keyboard!
Won’t let me continue
Will update if it’s not behind a paywall
Great app
This is an excellent app for those wanting to bond through mindfulness. I use this app with my SO and it’s a treat to hear what the other person is reflecting upon each day. It has brought us closer together. I do wish there was a way to reply to entries though, that would make this a 5 star app!
Reply to each other’s entries
I find it mind boggling that the whole point of the app is to have a shared journal but you have to pay to leave comments on each other’s journal entries. This should be a free/given feature given the nature of the app.
it’s ok
so my stepmom got it for me and her. i hate how everything is plus. i can’t do anything except write something. like it’s so annoying. other than that it’s pretty good 👍
Cool
It cool like butter like a crimale under cover. Anne are you OK? Said anna you OK? Are you OK anne you've been hit by you've been shot by a smooth criminal.
Takes forever
To set up. 20 questions. Forced me to rate the app before even telling me what it costs.
Fun App
Love the app and the idea that people can share as well!
comment section doesn’t work
can’t even open
Does not work on IPhone 14
It looks great. I just created a journal one to share with my husband and one to share with the rest of the family, but my husband has a slightly older phone iPhone 14. After he’s logged on and I have added him then the screen just remains blank and doesn’t move to the journal. I guess I’m gonna have to delete that journal.
very good
very good but i want a home screen widget (iphone)
Careful before they take your $$$
Actually a decent app but not for the price and definitely not after how they go about the 7 day free trial…account charged $50 on day 6. I’ll take partial blame as I wouldn’t have even signed up had I paid more attention as I usually skip free trials that auto charge. But, I could have unsubscribed still on day 6 but they charged before the time was up?
Brilliant but need to fix the bugs
I really want to rate this app higher because I love the concept so much. The layout of the app is also brilliant. However it glitches so badly that I often can’t open it or it takes an immense amount of time to load. Ultimately the only reason I haven’t deleted it is because I’ve already started picture journal with another person and I hope the developers will fix the bugs in the near future.
Great App
This is a great app to try and get to know more about your family. I tried this with my daughters and it worked for the free trial but unfortunately they just wouldn’t follow up with it! But overall a very great app with an easy layout!
Buggy
So I went through the process of creating a journal and subscribing and sending a link to the other members of my family, but then the link didn't work and my login didn't work either. Frustrating.
