Reviews for Rosebud: AI Journal & Diary

I absolutely love this app. I've tried to commit to paper journals many times over the years and always fall off the habit, but I've just realized that I've been journaling for 4 months now. I started with the trial and when it ended and the app didn't have the same level of memory it was almost like losing a close friend, so I've been on paid plan the rest of this time and zero regrets for it. Totally worth it.

OMG!!! First days on the app and it immediately hit points I hadnt considered! I was referred to other apps that just didn't do anything for me!!! It has not only hit the daily targeted goals but it also helps with the emotional health which was lacking in so many other apps! Having ADHD and other factors playing in my life, this thus far appears to help me to prioritize and get focused again! I look forward to using it for an entire year, for starters, to see how it helps me as a whole!!!

This app is amazing. Obviously I wouldn't recommend using it as a total replacement for therapy, but if you are struggling financially, or just want something to supplement your main therapy, download Rosebud! You won't regret it. You can personalize Rosebud to fit your personality style, and you can use it as much or as little as you prefer. I've made several surprising insights and also gotten into writing poetry again in less than a week of using this app :) Thank you to the developers!

I absolutely love this app & highly recommend it. It's not meant to replace a therapist, obviously, but I can't afford one currently and this has helped so much! I wasn't sure what to expect from it using AI but it's been really great. It has helped guide me through my thoughts and to dig deeper. I love all the journals and prompts, as well as just plain, un-guided journaling.

Amazing journal It has lots of different journals inside of it so I can write in many different topics! It creates goals that are perfect! Goes over what I've told it in very easy-to-read paragraphs! Everything about it is just stunning!! 👍 Update: As someone with a therapist, I can confirm that this app (at least for me) is BETTER than my therapist, this app always has something to say and make you think about after each topic you discuss. I wish my therapist would discuss things like this..

This app is amazing! I have learned so much, felt so much support, understanding. The AI really listens and provides feedback that is basically changing my life. I feel like I found a real gem. The transcripttion abilities on it are very accurate. After I input what I'm thinking for the day, it recommends books, shows quotes by different people or art. It makes smile to see them. They have all been very relevant. I highly recommend this app.

Great app but has function issues that were not present during my initial use. I left a review here and then emailed as requested, waiting on more information but hopeful this gets updated and fixed. Great all but text doesn't show up and it's just inconvenient. Can work around it a bit by opening and closing drafts but annoying for flow.

I like the app, but privacy worries me. When I dictate, I sometimes get transcripts filled with stuff I wasn't talking about - like weather data. So where did the transcript of what I actually said go? Who can see it when the glitch happens? The privacy policy is incomplete. Do they really value having a good policy - or just put something up there? I emailed them and never got a response - not even a form letter. App = 5 stars, Privacy = 0 stars. Average = 3 stars. Do better, guys.

I've been using Rosebud for maybe about 2 months now and my honest review is that is it is an excellent tool for helping you become more mindful and intentional. absolutely pay for it. it's worth every cent, especially if you've ever tried routine chats with a therapist and you felt like you were just treading water. this could be a more inexpensive way to go to get that aspect of it. I very much value how it encourages me and keeps me on track with what I want to prioritize. :)

Overall the app is great. There are a few things that knock the app from 5 to 3 stars though. Firstly is the inability of the AI to pull up past entries. It makes it frustrating to have to reread entries one by one to find something. For instance I have a specific check in I want the AI to give, but because it can't reference past it won't remember it correctly. The other is that it can't send notifications beyond morning and evening check ins. For $13 it should do these 2 things.

If you struggle with mental health, you download this app. Or if you want to sort your thoughts and get things figured out, you download this app. For these things, and I kid you not, I never say this - this app is perfect. I already wrote a review, but I felt the need to rewrite it to make myself more clear. I struggle with Bipolar disorder, drank for 7 years, am 4 years sober, and just now getting my life together as an adult. This app allows me to put together the pieces. Thank you, devs. 🤍

THIS APP IS LIFE-CHANGING! Rosebud has made a huge improvement in my mental health. As a 'details' person, I often don't see themes of issues I have. Rosebud's AI is excellent at distilling my thoughts. It even offers related prompts for further journaling. It also suggests grounding techniques that are geared to my preferences. IMO, the paid version is worth every penny, so Rosebud's AI will retain long-term memory of my entries. Rosebud's customer service is also fantastic. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great app so far. I like how I can record everything I'm saying and remember it and tie old entries in with new ones and create connections that I've never thought of before. I also like the summary sections where it can succinctly and articulately write what I'm thinking and feeling in a shorter understandable way that I relate to.

I cannot put into words how absolutely incredible this app is. it is literally everything I could have asked for in an ai therapeutic app. the responses it gives have honestly helped me more than any of the therapists Ive ever had. I normally won't even pay a few dollars for a silly mobile game, yet I am hundred percent about to pay $100+ for the year subscription to rosebud. no other app is even remotely close to being as incredible as this one. you have no idea how badly I needed this.

This app has been a life changer for me. There was one afternoon where it wouldn't work for me and their customer service responded immediately and didn't stop until it was working again. I have the paid version and the fact that it remembers your history and frequently refers to it along your journey is something that means a lot to me. You can choose the tone of the therapist and feedback is always comprehensive and detailed. The interaction makes journaling fun and not a burden.

I've been an avid journal-er for close to 10 years. The insights that Rosebud is able to pull from my entries and customize the prompts to explore issues deeper has been a game changer. Often I would look at my journaling as a chore, whereas now, I look forward to carving out my time in the morning and the evening with Rosebud to capture and process my thoughts. I was sold 2 days into the trial for Premium. If you want to unlock your journaling to the next level, then GET THIS APP!

Rosebud's AI feels very refined compared to other apps I've tried out. The "go deeper" function is great when trying to find the words to express yourself to your support group or to just vent. I like the recommended journaling parts as it gives you a good place to start if you're not really a journaling type. I also like the personalized goals. The premium is expensive, but I find it worth the price!

I am really impressed by this app, and the premium subscription is worth the money. It gives you deep insight into yourself and anything you journal, even helping relate my Bible verse of the day. However, even with a paid subscription there is a daily limit to how much deep thinking the app can do. Just opening journals can count against your daily message limit. I feel like paying a subscription fee should come with the ability to use the service to it's fullest extent.

I don't leave reviews. I only review apps if I find something truly amazing, and this is that. I've tried journaling consistently and I just can't do it, I have ADHD and I forget literally everything that happened throughout the day. this app completely fixes that, it reminds you what was going on, prompts you, and through natural conversation, it helps you journal. I will happily use this app for as long as they stay around.

Rosebud has been a huge help during a tough mental health season. It’s not a “feel good” app, more like a thoughtful conversation partner that helps you unpack thoughts, spot patterns, and find clarity. You can tell it was developed with real therapists. Even the free version is solid — the paid plan adds helpful recaps, insights and recomendations. Feels more like a conversation than journaling, which is really what I need. 10/10, five stars 👍🏻
