*Thankful* is the most beautifully designed way to privately and easily record everything you are thankful for in your everyday life.

THE STORY

"One mans 7-year battle with cancer yielded gratitude, a thankful app despite the hardships"
- Deseret News, November 25, 2013

The story behind "Thankful" is a very personal one for our family and friends. We created "Thankful" with our brother before his 7-year cancer battle ended. During his battle, he and his family wanted everyone to remember to be thankful for what is still good in the world, and to count all of the blessings we all have.

“Everybody has trials. Everybody has tragedies,” his wife says. “That’s why we come to this earth, and we came to a place where we realized we weren’t being picked on, that this was just the deal. …And so we found something that worked for us, and that was to count our blessings and to notice what was good. …It helped us be able to enjoy each other instead of being weighed down by all the fear, it helped lift us up.”

We hope that "Thankful" reminds you to be #thankful, and also helps you to remember all of the many blessings in your life - no matter how seemingly small.

THANK YOU

+ We are always #thankful for our brother and our family, and we are absolutely #thankful for you!

Pros and cons of thankful app for iPhone and iPad

thankful app good for

I love this app. A simple and easy way to keep a gratitude journal. I miss the counter for every entry, now that they made it just count each day. I used to love tapping the counter for each item in my list and getting a gratitude quote every few items. I now have set it to show a quote every time, so I still get them. But I loved seeing those numbers increase :-)

I love the app! Its simple and straight forward. I love the counter. It will be amazing to look back next year at all my blessings. I purchased the Biblical quotes but have not see or read any yet. So thats my reason for a 4..... other than thats its great. I use it to count the things Im grateful to God for daily!

Really enjoying this app as it is simple to use. If for some reason you cant think of anything to be thankful for, they will give you some ideas.

...and really something to be thankful for! ;-) The only thing I would love to change is the navigation: sometimes the "save" button doesnt react and the item disappears - but its still saved, so if you open the "Im thankful for" field again, you can give saving another try.) It would be neat if the "save" button was a little further down on the screen, somewhere bottom right. But apart from that: purrfect! :-)

Some bad moments

App doesnt work for many features...waste of time. Deleted....

We have lots of things to be thankful for in our lives. Its a good reminder to write them down and remind yourself of just how good you have it.

While moving recently, my wife and I found our old memories jar. In it were kept small, hand written notes of important things (big and small) that occurred in our lives - miracles, things we were thankful for, etc. As the number of our children continued to increase, our time overall was getting pretty filled up. The practice of documenting our thankfulness sharply decreased to point in which we stopped all together. I am so #thankful to have found this app. It is so easy to use, yet powerful in purpose. We now have an incredibly functional tool to continue on in our desire to remember what we are thankful for - because its so easy to forget!

Not amount of tapping or swiping will get me past a blank screen, but of course the ad banner at the bottom works like a charm. Too bad.

I love the idea of this app, but it was always crashing. Days entries wouldnt load. I found a similar app that also lets me upload photos. Moving on

The Goldilocks of gratitude journals. You can try them all, but you will come back to this one.
