Gratitude Journal Android Apps

Inspired by Jen Steed’s Tech Talk last week on the Gratitude 365 journal iOs app, and hoping to work on my own attitude of gratitude (while also being challenged by a little buddy – who you may know, her name starts with S and ends with coffee — to find an Android alternative), here are my Android finds – the Moments of Gratitude app and Attitudes of Gratitude Journal app.

As per usual with me, if I could combine the features from both I’d have the perfect Gratitude Journal app. While I loved the look and social media connect-ability of the Moments of Gratitude app, the text entry format was less appealing then that found in Attitudes. In addition, Attitudes won me over with the ‘add as many photos as you like and while you are add it, include a whole story about it’ option, compared to the very limited one — thumbnail only — allowed on Moments.

All in all they are both fantastic ways to keep track of the many daily blessings God bestows upon each and every one of us!!
