So helpful
I really don’t write reviews, but this app has been supplemental for therapy, as I can’t afford to go as often as I’d like. If you think that your thought life could use some help- if you could use a sounding board for the thoughts that pop up that aren’t helpful- if you’ve ever or never tried CBT- please research it. Please give this a chance. Even in the limited mode it is so so helpful. The full mode is great but you probably don’t need it. And if you do, it’s a steal compared to the cost of just 1 therapy session. Highly recommend.Show lessheschanie
This app helps you to think critically.
Hello, I decided to work on myself in late 2021. After being inside for so long because of COVID, I discovered a lot of personal flaws and behaviors that I didn’t consider healthy. I did a month of online therapy that helped considerably, but being unemployed, it wasn’t sustainable.
I wouldn’t say this app is a replacement for therapy. But it has helped me think critically about my feelings in a similar way. You will have to do a lot of the brainwork to understand your problems. And you will have to come up with your own solutions as well.
The prompts do get kinda samey. Especially on days that might not be so eventful. So it might seem like you’re typing to a wall with preset responses. I wouldn’t really journal every day.Show lessMythrilHeart
CBT at my own pace
I've used a few different mindfulness apps now. What works best for me is to organize my thoughts, find where my thinking is distorted by ingrained emotions & fears, and work out new ways of thinking about things. Sometimes meditation is nice but sometimes I'm too upset to meditate. Sometimes positive affirmations from the app are nice, but other times they just make me mad. What I like about CBT Thought Diary so far is it doesn't tell me how to feel. It gives me space to work through my emotions while providing avenues to know what to look for.Show lessPorcelainGrin
Impressive Customer Service/Response Time
I had initially rated this as 1 star but I am here to update it to 5 because of the incredible customer service/response time regarding my issue. I sent an email to report the bug and they (a founder, no less!) quickly responded to my concerns. While my data lost was not recovered (and I’m not entirely sure this wasn’t user error), they made the proper steps to update the app so it’s less likely to happen again.
Looking forward to using this app a bit more, and knowing this developer is ready, eager to address all issues to make this app work in the best way possible. kudos!
Original post:
Post-dated entires disappear with no warning
New to app, so still getting to know it. However, don’t try to post-date a journal entry! I wrote my best journal entry to date around midnight and post dated it to hit the previous day. I followed the prompts as usual to the end. Went to go find it today to find IT DISAPPEARED. It doesn’t show up in my history, and I wasn’t prompted the journal entry wouldn’t be saved. Was able to reproduce this issue by selecting an earlier time than the current time. Please fix this, I am very disappointed I lost my work, both written and the self-work/reflection I intended to make with this last entry. 😢Show lessscheeters
LCSW with an affinity for Mindfulness
I was looking for something for myself to utilize to help me track my thoughts, mood, environment, etc instead of writing it all in a notebook or on notes in my phone. This app was SOOO much more than I was expecting! It’s easy to use, FULL of useful educational material and interactive journals. I especially love the pro-mindfulness parts of the app. The pay version is super affordable and really unlocks the fun insights I was looking for and I’d still HIGHLY recommend giving the trial version a shot because it is full of a good variety of free content to be beneficial on its own and give you an idea of if you’d use the full version!Show lessCMantra
A joy to use
Very much enjoying this journal. I’ve only had it for a couple of days, but I’m finding extremely helpful. It’s already helped me improve my communication skills and framing things in a way that is manageable when I’m going through difficult emotions.Frannycas
Game Changer!!!
As a teacher with ADHD during Remote Learning this app has been an absolute GAME CHANGER!!! I have found that taking a moment to check in with myself the first thing in the morning now sets me up for the day.
Finding resources to assist professionals with ADHD is challenging. This app has different assessments and of course you would always then be referred to a medical professional for further guidance As someone who battles with behaviours associated with ADHD as an adult, I feel more prepared than ever to start a new term of teaching and learning with my class tomorrow.
I have created a space in my room and my day where reflecting, planning and journaling is just important as my morning coffee.Show lessCon_leb
Cost
You have to pay to do almost everything. $60 a year too. I’ve had a hard time and won’t be able to see my therapist for a while, so I downloaded this app in hopes it could help me. It helped for a bit, until every recommended thing was locked and there was basically nothing I could do. The app itself is alright, but it would be much better if people could express their feelings and get help without having to pay. The amount is absurd, not to mention that it’s a yearly payment. I’d be willing to pay maybe $5-$20 once, not a repeated payment. This app has a lot of potential, you really just need to lower the price and make it a one time payment. There’s a lot of people out there who need something like this but can’t afford therapy, let alone this. Very unhappy with the experience and will definitely be uninstalling.Show lessBest editor i have!

If you don’t answer it will be apparent that you do not care about having people’s business. Reduced one star, down to 2 star due to no reply being received.

Developer Response
Sorry, buddy. We can't offer a one-time payment option because when we did in the past, we were roundly criticized for having it in the first place because the price was too high. But it has to be higher than the yearly version, or else everyone would buy that. You know what? As a reward for your dedication, send us an email at moodtools@moodtools.org and we can figure something out just for you.amazing
before i started this app i felt so awful all the time and i overreacted to EVERYTHING but after spending just a few weeks with this app, it’s helped me hugely and i have definitely got happier and more content with myself. it really helps me consider how i’m feeling, be truthful with myself, and then makes me think of how i could deal with how i’m feeling. i used to avoid trying to find ways of giving ways to deal with my problems because i was embarrassed but i don’t feel that way with this app - it makes me feel proud that i conquered my spiral of feelings and dealt with it :)Show less_hannahreynolds
