Review summary

Overall, users praise Silk + Sonder for its beautiful design, rich journaling prompts, and a supportive, active community that motivates daily self-care. The app and monthly journals are seen as a cohesive, easy-to-use ecosystem that fosters reflection and growth. However, recurring complaints center on billing and renewal practices (unexpected charges, hard-to-cancel subscriptions), app bugs and syncing issues, and concerns about price versus value. If these issues are addressed, the product is widely viewed as a high-impact wellness tool with strong social features.

Pros

Beautiful, well-designed journals and layouts with prompts, trackers, and activities.
Integrated app and monthly journals with online components, events, and motivational videos.
Strong, supportive community with interactive features (Bingo, resource library, discussions, How-To library) and a positive, non-judgmental atmosphere.
Promotes motivation, organization, reflection, and personal growth; helpful for mental well-being.
User-friendly app experience; cohesive ecosystem that enhances daily self-care routine.

Cons

Billing and cancellation issues, including unexpected charges and difficulty canceling/auto-renew.
App reliability issues with bugs and syncing problems (entries disappearing, glitches).
Pricing concerns; high subscription cost and perceived value questions.
Customer service responsiveness concerns.

2026-06-29	52*****	I have used this app and the accompanying journal on and off for several years now. I really enjoy how flexible it is. You can adapt it to your needs and change it monthly as those needs change.

2026-03-30	Me*****	I bought these journals during a time I was home recovering from a double mastectomy. I needed something colorful and beautiful in my life. Not only are these journals beautiful, they’re filled with prompts, trackers, spaces to journal and reflect, and even some light and fun activities like word scrambles. I’ve journaled and written for years, but these are paired expertly with an online component that is reshaping my digital life at the same time I’m resuscitating my written life. Cannot recommend highly enough.

2026-02-05	Pa*****	The app is very easy to use and complete my tasks and where I need to go. On the other hand the organization is amazing and the help I’ve received from strangers all while using my monthly planner leaves me awe struck. I’m a new member and even in the four-five weeks I’ve seen improvement in areas of my life. I’m so happy I found silk and sonder and look forward to a very long relationship.

2025-12-25	FL*****	This app and community is so incredibly well designed! I have joined many groups online using different platforms (like kajabi) but this one is so much better. The types of things you can do in the app are amazing (e.g. Bingo, Resource image library, Discussion, How To library!!). Just wow!! Then there is the actual content-so inspirational, well-conceived, always fresh, and creatively delivered in multiple modalities! Dang, y’all! This is way beyond expectations and worth every penny!

2025-12-17	AF*****	I would not recommend them due to poor customer service. I went to cancel day after payment and I am now out more money than I can afford for it. I asked for a refund and was told it wasn’t possible due to production. It’s a journal subscription. I should be able to get a refund. I will not be supporting this business again. I love support women business and small companies but I also expect more from them than I received from silk and Sonder.

2025-12-16	an*****	The few parts that are free are great and you get ok usage out of it, but so much of the app is limited (participating in the community, how many affirmations you get, rituals, etc.). The creators expect you to pay at least $35 per month for a membership subscription (via their website) and that’s where pricing starts. The bingos are fun to play, but some are also a little, uh, meant for people with big money. For example, one of the bingos (I think it was Meha’s favorites) had “visit and stay at a 5-star luxury hotel”, “travel first class”, and a bunch of other things that a person who does not have that kind of money cannot afford. I ended up checking them off saying “ok well I visited the website of a 5-star luxury hotel and I traveled the world via Google Earth/Maps, so that counts.” Every time you check a box off, a pop up comes up asking you how you feel about the accomplishment and it’s difficult to exit out of that pop up. When you get a full bingo or a whole row, it’s difficult just to exit out of that pop-up. Daily journal prompts give you 2 options — most of which do not promote deep thinking for wellness, but rather, ones you can find on Pinterest or Google under “simple writing prompts.” Free members get 15 affirmations a month and that’s it — you’re better off writing a bunch in your Reminders app on your phone and setting them off at different times periodically throughout the day. App has a cute set up, but definitely not worth downloading in my honest opinion. I like following them on social media and that’s it; investing in them seems sort of like a scam and an MLM.
