WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Too many ads38%

15 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Ads used to be skippable after 5 seconds but now I have to sit through at least 15 seconds, I can't use things I used to be able to without paying, and I feel like it's lost a lot of its “simple” feel.
★★★★★ I understand that the devs might not have power over the specific ads that get played, but this needs to be addressed somehow.
★★★★★ I LOVE this app but as a free user, I can tell they are testing longer and longer ads.
Price and subscription23%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ However, I hate that majority of the features are locked behind a paywall with getting new sets since one ad can be equivalent to only one clover and it's maxed out at 3 ad's for the “lucky clovers”.
★★★★★ You can't do much with this app unless you pay a bunch of money for the premium version.
★★★★★ I used to loveee this app but now everything's getting more and more expensive yet the I yet face is the exact same.

★★★★★ Ads used to be skippable after 5 seconds but now I have to sit through at least 15 seconds, I can't use things I used to be able to without paying, and I feel like it's lost a lot of its “simple” feel.
★★★★★ I deleted it the day after I got it because it wasn't helpful.
★★★★★ After countless updates with no issues, the latest one reset my app or something and deleted 1.5 years of progress.
Limits, credits, locked features13%

★★★★★ However, I hate that majority of the features are locked behind a paywall with getting new sets since one ad can be equivalent to only one clover and it's maxed out at 3 ad's for the “lucky clovers”.
★★★★★ I love the app but I hate the way I have to pay for it and I wish I had it for free I downloaded it and it was really good really fun but when I saw that I have to pay it broke me :(
★★★★★ i knew this app had in-app purchases, but i wasn't expecting to have to pay to keep my entires for over a week.
Crashes and freezes5%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It asks a series of questions about me in the beginning and when it asks my birthday and I enter it and click submit, it says 'Check your internet connection and try again' and doesn't go any further. everything else…
Bugs, things not working5%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I don't understand why it doesn't work
★★★★★ The ads have stopped working, so there is no way for me to add tasks or earn clovers.
Login and account problems5%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Today I opened the app and it seems my account is at square one?
★★★★★ After I recently updated the app and forced to re login, ALL MY DATA ARE LOST!
Wrong or poor results5%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I had saved my journal entry on the wrong day.
★★★★★ The ads on the free version of this render it useless, but the price charged to remove ads is nuts, especially since the developer is clearly selling all the data you enter to aggregators also.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • I really enjoyed DailyBean, but I wish that there was a section to write journals. 4★, Oct 13, 2026
  • Even though there is a little portion where you are able to write about your day, I wish that there was a whole section designated for journaling. 4★, Oct 13, 2026
  • AI propaganda that tries to rationalize the annihilation of innocent people should have no place anywhere, let alone on a cutesy mood tracking app. 2★, Oct 12, 2026
  • Then over time, once you start to get into the habit of doing it daily, start to add the things that you would really like to track over time. 5★, Oct 4, 2026
  • While the upgrades are pretty good, and could be beneficial for some (and I have considered upgrading a couple of times), I feel like the free version is exactly what I need at the moment and was exactly what I was… 5★, Oct 4, 2026
  • i've been using this app ever since late of december '22 and i've always admired the simplicity since i don't need anything too major in a journal. 5★, Sep 16, 2026
  • I don't need all the bells and whistles if this is the cost. 2★, Sep 13, 2026
  • I LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH, Like it's so cute BUT to me personally I wish the skins or wtv were cheaper because I always forget to watch the ads for getting more clovers and I jus wish they were cheaper , yea 5★, Sep 9, 2026

WHAT THEY LOVE · SHARE OF GOOD REVIEWS
Useful, it helps19%

81 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ This app has been so so helpful in daily documentation of my emotions, anxieties, eating habits, etc; and there's no crazy paywall, just ads every so often.
★★★★★ the insights are so interesting and useful and there's really no app quite as easy to use as this on the market.
★★★★★ The aesthetics are nice and it is useful.
Easy to use15%

64 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ 5 stars once they let me buy a lifetime license. Would be 4 otherwise. Great Journaling app.
★★★★★ it makes it so easy (and cute + fun) to track anything you like about your day, including your moods, what you ate, meds you took, your day at work, your relationships… anything you want!
★★★★★ It has trackers for everything, but keeps it light and simple !
Fun, addictive14%

★★★★★ it makes it so easy (and cute + fun) to track anything you like about your day, including your moods, what you ate, meds you took, your day at work, your relationships… anything you want!
★★★★★ I thought it was stupid that couldn't earn clovers without paying or watching a ad and that we couldn't have all the emotions if we didn't pay
Worth the money10%

45 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I'd like to conclude by saying I use the free version and I don't think I'm missing out on anything.
★★★★★ you can even make your own categories and icons in the free version.
★★★★★ I'm on day 3 of using this app, and as someone who is using it with the free version, I don't feel that I'm missing much (which I really appreciate!) I have a few free themes from being invited/inviting others and even…
Looks great4%

17 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It is really simple and gives off an aesthetic vibe but, the fact you only have the option to change the icons from beans to puppys is really limited because all of the other icons have crazy prices with the game money.
★★★★★ It has such a cute and minimalist aesthetic that I absolutely love!
★★★★★ The cute design and easy habit and mood icons make the boring parts of journaling rewarding.

Worth the download<3

I’m someone who struggles badly with anxiety, to the point that it affects how I function, my mother has always recommended daily journaling and I’ve just never gotten around to it. This app has been so so helpful in daily documentation of my emotions, anxieties, eating habits, etc; and there’s no crazy paywall, just ads every so often. I highly recommend!!

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Used to be so much better

Used this app for almost 5 years and I loved it but it’s gotten to be way too much. Ads used to be skippable after 5 seconds but now I have to sit through at least 15 seconds, I can’t use things I used to be able to without paying, and I feel like it’s lost a lot of its “simple” feel. I don’t use dailybean anymore and I ended up going back to a paper journal.

★★★★★Oct 13, 2026
Good, but one thing

I really enjoyed DailyBean, but I wish that there was a section to write journals. Even though there is a little portion where you are able to write about your day, I wish that there was a whole section designated for journaling.

★★★★★Oct 13, 2026
Loading Time 👎

Great app but if you want to open it you will have to wait about 5 full minutes. It often gets stuck in this loading phase. I’m trying to jot notes down quickly. It’s hard enough to take time away from my day to Journal. Let alone to wait for an app to open this long and lose the thought. Figure this out, Dailybean.

★★★★★Oct 12, 2026
Concerning Ads

This app is cute and I was looking forward to using it. But after my first log, I feel a little uneasy. I saw an AI propaganda ad funded by the Israeli Government Advertising Agency. It was through Google, that’s how I was able to check. I’m sure you can understand the multitude of reasons why this is concerning. One, it’s BLATANT propaganda related to an ongoing genocide. Second, what is it doing on a journaling app? I understand that the devs might not have power over the specific ads that get played, but this needs to be addressed somehow. AI propaganda that tries to rationalize the annihilation of innocent people should have no place anywhere, let alone on a cutesy mood tracking app.

★★★★★Oct 8, 2026
Love this! Great for when I’m busy.

I absolutely would recommend this app to anyone. On busy days it takes five minutes to look over my day and assess if i’ve taken care of myself well, and it’ll even give you evaluations— and they tell you factors of what makes you feel best and what makes you feel worst. You can even add your own custom items that you can check off to personalize it to yourself. The daily fortune cookie is the highlight of my day too. The paid version isn’t something that rubbed in your face like other apps either, it’s just a suggestion.
