Too little checked to say Reviews and the store listing were checked, but not the Android app’s code, so we can’t say yet.

From the developer’s store description.
For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Facts that add context without being a charge.
In-app purchases run from USD 6.99 to USD 299.00 — a 43x spread across 10 items
The disclosed in-app purchases span an unusually wide price range. Published as context: the cheapest and priciest items may be different kinds of product entirely, so the spread alone deducts nothing.
Specific evidence of a useful property, within the stated scope.
The developer's store data-safety disclosure states that data deletion can be requested; we have not seen a deletion control in the app's own text
The developer's data-safety disclosure on the store states that users can request deletion of their data, or the app's own text offers a way to delete the account. This restates what the developer declares; it is not a test of whether deletion works. Apple publishes no equivalent disclosure, so on an Apple-only listing only the app's own text can support it.
Open observations that have not cleared the evidence bar.
Reviewers describe the free version as usable: raised by 5 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 100 reviews we read)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Reviewers repeatedly say the free version is worth using on its own. Nothing we can measure corroborates that — a free listing with in-app purchases looks identical whether the free tier is generous or a demo — so this is published as what reviewers say, not as a measured credit.
The store privacy disclosure (2 entries) links no contact details or identifiers to the user — consistent with an app that does not require an account. Self-reported by the developer.
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The app's own screens offer a way past sign-up — guest access, skipping, or browsing before registering — rather than gating the product behind an account. The store's privacy disclosure is checked alongside it: that disclosure is self-reported, so it corroborates this credit rather than establishing it.
Nothing was published as a thing to watch for in this assessment. That is not a finding that nothing is wrong with the app.
900 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.
This is a very good app, it's easy to journal and the interface is nice. The free tier is also good, and there aren't any ads as far as I can see. The only downside is that the formatting in the journal can be a bit annoying. Words can be…
Simply Lovely — Every aspect of this app, from the interface to the reflection prompts seems as if it was made with care and user experience in mind. Even the free version is great and although I’m terrible at sticking to things, these…
Big fan — This is absolutely one of the best daily journaling apps. It offers so much for free where as others make you pay just to do the bare minimum. There is much more to unlock with purchase as well and it's not too much money to do…
A sampled review illustrates one person’s experience. It does not establish a finding on its own.
“Not assessed” means we could not measure it. It is never a zero and never a pass.
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

Each store’s release notes, as the developer wrote them. They are the developer’s words, not ours.
dear stoics, this one is packed, so let's get straight to it: - quotes got a full redesign - full-screen themes you swipe through, a focus mode with a slideshow, and double-tap to favorite. - one quick action button on today holds everything you start most, including a new mood check-in. - routine ai questions now appear right in place, and you can switch mentors by tapping their avatar. - stoic is ready for iPhone Duo - folded, open, and everything in between. - backups now include your smart tags and profile, and you can delete your icloud data while keeping everything on this device. on the fixing side, we sorted out crashes in trends, the activity picker and word counts, a few app…

Appworthy
stoic-journal-and-mental-healthAssessed 2026-10-27 from 900 user reviews, the store listing and its privacy label. We have not scanned the app's package, so nothing on this page was read from inside the app itself.
What the stores publish. Store ratings are the stores’ numbers, not Appworthy’s, and are never averaged across stores.
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.
These are really on sale; we just can’t tell from the name whether they recur.
This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.
No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.
There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.
Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.
