Philip Smith (ID: 000000f7a5c0e217) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/30/2022 Beautiful app! Simple, clean, very promising. I am knee-deep in my Spanish language studies and need to start a language journal. Everything seemed lovely and I was making great (albeit slow) progress in my first entry in Spanish. I clicked "Take a Break" to get a coffee but when I returned to the entry - none of it was saved! Only the first sentence of the four paragraph entry was kept.... :-( Very depressing and even if this was just a glitch or "user error", if I continue to use this app to journal I would be anxious that any hard earned progress made would just be lost in the ether. So long Ponder...I Ponder why your app does not have a frequent autosave feature.

J G (ID: 0000002cd6f9c005) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/14/2022 Although the prompts and the UI are really nice, it doesnt' allow you to delete old entries that you may not want for whatever reason, or to add onto them and edit them, which limits the scope of what you can use it for. It's great for getting you writing but limiting if you want to push it a bit more.

何晓琴 (ID: 000000391b9526b3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/18/2022 Could you support Chinese? The word tracker doesn't work well.

Lotus Derry (ID: 000000abb7de09a0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/28/2021 Such cute and clean design! I wanted to get into bullet journaling, but couldn't find the motivation to physically whip out a notebook everyday. Ponder integrates into my daily life and sets the mood for a productive day!

Lauren Oh (ID: 000000f110212850) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/24/2021 The UI of Ponder is really nice! Tbh I don't use it for journaling too much, but I really like having its aesthetic for my new tabs.
