Perspective - AI Journal 4+

Best journaling app so far

I’ve used Day One for a long time and I really enjoyed that it had the ability to both be encrypted and allow for access to an unencrypted diary via the web. The various formatting and data you can upload to it is super great, such as adding location and weather data, to name a few things.

I’ve also used the newer Journal app by Apple and it’s okay, but can *only* be used on the iPhone (and not other Apple devices) which is a huge bummer.

However, this review is not about either of those apps - this is about Perspective AI, which I am extremely impressed by - even lacking some of the features that I miss from Day One - it provides so much insight into my entries that it’s helped me maintain a flow of thought.

One of the things I’ve always had issues with is remembering to write things down in my diary, and continuing on a thought process. This app allows you to provide entries via text or audio (I personally use the audio function quite a bit) and as able together from the information that you provide and figure out what you’re conveying pretty easily. It also helps that it tailors response prompts to help you continue a line of thought if you choose to do so - one of the main aspects that I thoroughly enjoy and impressed by, considering it uses of AI implementation.

This app is definitely worth giving a try if you have a hard time journaling, and even if you don’t, it’s still worth trying!

Absolutely love this so much

I’ve always been someone who hasn’t been great at journaling, because I don’t love writing. this app came to me through serendipitous means, and when I found out that I can voice record my journals, I was over the moon. It’s been a few months since I’ve been using the app (through beta) and I can say this has helped me reflect on my own feelings and what is truly bothering me because whenever I feel anything, I will record myself explaining my feelings, and how that day went and I’ll listen back and be able to reflect and kind of pinpoint why I’m feeling this and truly start understanding myself and changing. it has helped me so much in ways I didn’t know journaling could help me because I always gave up after a few days but I’ve been consistently doing it for such a long time now that I could truly see the benefits of doing it. if you’re someone like me or someone who just wants to journal, I highly recommend this app.

Developer Response ,

We're so glad to hear Perspective has clicked with you, dreamream! Thank you for supporting and testing the app as an early beta user, and for the wonderful recommendation. Happy journaling!

Amazing!

Dear developers, This app is great! At first, I was critical because why should apps like these cost money? But, after gaining a trial, I began to realize why it cost some money. It has an awesome AI that will ask questions based on your replies! You can insert photos with captions and the AI will calculate your mood! Another thing I love, is how you can track your thoughts the way you can AND you can leave future notes for yourself! I have an idea! So, what about you can ask for a new question that doesn’t involve your last ‘entry’? “Refresh question.” Thanks for an amazing app, | ZAIN | P.S. Sorry for the criticism before. 😊 Update: Because of financial differences, I will not be using Perspective anymore. However, this was a great app and worth downloading. I will recommend it to others for its great value. Thank you.
