Overall, I like the concept of the app, but there are a few things that could be improved. The biggest issue I’ve experienced is reliability when posting. Sometimes the app lags or freezes, and my posts don’t appear to save properly. Because of this, I often end up posting the same thing multiple times since I’m not sure whether the first submission went through.

What interests me about using a digital journal like Thingbook is how it blends reflection with creativity and organization in a way that feels natural for everyday life. I’m drawn to the convenience and flexibility. I can quickly capture thoughts after a lab, reflect on experiences from volunteering or research, or document ideas for projects like CARE (my nonprofit) without worrying about losing anything. Everything is stored in one place, searchable, and easy to revisit, which makes it really useful for tracking growth over time. Another thing I like is how it supports consistency. Since it’s on my phone or laptop, I’m more likely to journal regularly, whether it’s quick daily reflections or deeper entries. Overall, it feels like a tool that not only helps me stay organized but also encourages self-awareness and creativity in a way that fits my lifestyle.
