Review summary

Users appreciate Hourly Journal's clean, user-friendly design, customizable tags with emojis, and lack of ads. The app effectively supports hourly journaling and provides useful visual summaries. However, recurring issues include malfunctioning hourly reminders, limited text entry flexibility, and essential features locked behind a subscription. Users also desire additional functions like dark mode, autosave, data export reliability, and better data syncing. Despite these drawbacks, the developers are praised for being responsive and supportive.

Pros

Clean, simple, and elegant user interface that is easy to use.
Highly customizable tagging system including emojis that enhances engagement.
No ads in the free version, making it a pleasant user experience.
Good basic journaling features with visual analytics like weekly and monthly summaries.
Responsive and kind developer team receptive to feedback and suggestions.

Cons

Hourly reminder notifications and alarms often do not work despite correct settings.
Inability to add multiple entries or line breaks within an hour, limiting journaling flexibility.
Essential features like multiple tags and exporting data locked behind a premium paywall.
Lack of features such as dark mode, autosave, and widget or lock screen support.
Some data sync and bug issues, including deleted entries when backing out of premium purchases.

2025-01-18	SA*****	The One and Only I am genuinely impressed with the functionality and design of this app. It features a clean and simple user interface, highly customizable reminders, and, best of all, no ads. This is one of the few apps I truly love and feel compelled to review. I usually don’t leave reviews, but this app is exceptional. If you’re looking for an app to create a time journal, this is undoubtedly the best option available. Let me tell you—no other app comes close to its level of excellence.

2025-01-07	Fe*****	I like this app a lot as it does exactly what I want it to do except one thing, which might be my own fault for not finding the right setting. For me the reminder every hour does not seem to work. I already set and alarm sound I like in the settings and also checked my phones settings if the app is allowed to notify me, yet I never received a single notification (which should be every hour).

2024-12-31	Sk*****	I really love the UI design of this app. it's simple, elegant and easy to use. I love that you can tag with words and give it an emoji, I do wish there was a section of recently used emojis so I don't have to search for them every time I log a habitual thing. I love how easy it is to keep track of my time. thank you so much for your hard work and effort

2024-12-25	ka*****	I love how easy it is to log activities and see patterns in my day. The mood emojis are a fun touch and make it more engaging. It's now part of my daily routine!

2024-09-17	Li*****	Love it so much! Hourly tidbit notes! Hourly emotions! Hourly tags! Then all summed up in a day/week/month! I love them all! Thanks to its creators/developers and the rest of the team. I can't tell you how many journal apps I've tried and was never satisfied cos they're all too generic for the day, or they're too cluttered. This hourly app is simple and sweet. I love it! I love it! I love it!

2024-09-12	Ab*****	Good basic journaling app with intuitive design. The only thing I didn't like is that I can't make a new line while writing an entry. So it has to be one big chunk of text every time.

2024-06-30	Jo*****	First review, one star - not ideal...! Might be cool software but from the get go looks like a money and data grabbing scam. After trying it doesn't even allow an email registration, only Google, if devs think they are getting anywhere near my Google account they are delusional. A simple personal diary app that requires an account? - and also to save data in the cloud? Really?? And not tested but assume it will be flooded with adverts until you sign up for pro for $$.

2024-06-01	An*****	Hi Hourlyjournal team, This is a premium subscriber of yours from India. I have been clicking on export data from the last 3 days, but getting no output. Message says " it is currently exported and will be sent to your registered email address" but it's not been coming. Earlier I used to receive my entry in Excel format. Please let me know how can I do that again and in how many days I can receive the data. As I need this for the month of May. Thanks, Anushka
