"So in the dream journal there is an ad where the back arrow and the save button is every single time you open it up. Meaning that if you just spent 10 minutes writing and recalling every detail of your dream when you get done you just can't save it"
"There's a banner ad that blocks the "save" and "cancel" options for the dream journal so you can't tap on them. Really silly oversight that makes the main feature of the app completely unusable"
21% of negative reviews mention this issue.
"All I can say is thanks for nothing the app worked fine for about a year and a half used it since about the beginning of 2020 and today... Got on the app and all my dreams are void just gone"
"For 161 days I have been using this as my dream journal, and it's great. The Interface is easy, and the details you can put in are great. My problem isn't the Dream Journal"

"The alarm feature has never worked. There are no alarm tones to be set"

"I have it on my iPhone and my iPad. If's journal entry is put on one device then it cannot transfer to the other device"
Design and usability issues driving negative reviews.
Users can't see what they're typing in journal entries because the keyboard obscures the text field
"Ads cover save and back buttons, the keyboard covers what you write, and the overall design is plain and boring"
Users uncertain about how to save entries after writing them
"So I downloaded the app and I wrote this long, detailed entry about this dream I'd had for a considerable amount of time, and then of course I put it into its category and give it a title, but then I wasn't sure what to do after that? Am I supposed t"
Users can't figure out how to select alarm sounds or understand why alarms are silent
"To clarify, when I set my alarms and hit 'go to sleep' it says to pick an alarm sound, but there's no"
Reality check reminders repeat endlessly instead of firing once per interval
"I set it up to give me a reminder every 1 hour, but whenever these reminders start, they begin to spam me non-stop until I delete and reinstall the app! These keep me up at night, make the guinea pigs in my room stay up making noises too"
