Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 2 of the 35 other journaling apps we grade
Reflectly is a journaling and mood-tracking app for iPhone, iPad and Android, now published by Kodeon. Instead of a blank page it asks personalized questions based on earlier entries, and it charts moods to show correlations over time. Daily quotes, challenges and weekly and monthly overviews sit alongside the diary. The app is a free download, and a Reflectly Premium subscription unlocks unlimited stories, a new question each day and advanced statistics.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Reflectly, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Unlimited stories and the daily question are Premium, and it runs on phones only, in English only.

The report card
Best for guided journaling when a blank page stops you
Reflectly is a phone journal that asks questions drawn from your earlier entries, logs a mood with each one and charts it. No price list is published: the US App Store shows six amounts from $4.99 to $59.99 with no billing period on any, and the trial length isn't stated. Unlimited stories and the daily question are Premium, and it runs on phones only, in English only. If you want to compare prices first, look elsewhere.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | There's no price to judge. No list is published, and the US App Store shows Reflectly Premium at anything from $4.99 to $59.99 with no billing period beside any of it. The app tells you the real figure before you buy, which is a bit late to compare. |
| Free plan and trial | C | It's a free download, but nobody says where free stops: unlimited stories, a new daily question and the advanced statistics are all described as Premium. There's a trial before the subscription is charged, with no length stated. |
| Features | C | The basics of a guided diary: questions drawn from your earlier entries, a mood on each one, graphs and correlations, morning quotes and challenges, and daily, weekly and monthly overviews. The gaps the listing shows: English only, no photos or export named, and the daily question is Premium. |
| Ease of use | B | 4.6 from about 81,700 App Store ratings, under the 4.7 an A needs. You answer a question and say how you feel, and a home-screen widget keeps your streak going. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Phones and tablets only: iPhone, iPad and Android, with no desktop or web app, so no typing at a proper keyboard. No integrations are on record either. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

- Tight if you're staying free, since unlimited stories, the daily question and advanced statistics are Premium
- Skip it if you want photos, export or a language other than English, none of which are listed

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Your call
A journal at its plainest is dated entries of text and photos.
You could make the core of Reflectly for yourself: daily notes and mood tracking. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call.
What you could make
- Daily notes and mood tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. Reflectly’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
