I LOVE MOOD NOTES!
Wow! Great app! Great handy way to log and process feelings throughout the day, at ANYTIME.
If I start to feel something, I can pull out my phone, and start typing in MOODNOTES. As I type my feelings about a situation, I am able to document and process things at the same time, and I typically will write more than initially planned. This results in my being in a cleansed and more calm state, having identified optional ways of dealing with issues/feelings, and a plan of action.
I feel less “stuck”, nor like a victim, because I have identified options. I do not feel like I need to rush to be heard, because I have my feelings stored in a safe place and can recall them if and when I want, and take my time expressing myself, if and when I decide to do so.
It helps me decide how I will do so as well. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, that’s all I need, and it is over. But if I need more, I can also return to the documented incident, and during an established time, I can tap into my experience, and identify my feelings, and let myself feel, til they are finished. I can end my feeling journey with a positive thought, like: “I am okay”, or “I am a capable and resilient person”. This is GREAT!!!Show lesschik66
Incredibly Useful, Wish it Had More
As someone with depression, anxiety, and ADHD, this app really helps me keep track of my emotions through different parts of my day, and challenges me to specify what things contribute to my good (and bad) feelings. Identifying thinking traps and rephrasing my negative thoughts has started to help me control them better.
The only thing I wish this app had is some exercises, like deep breathing or guided meditation to help actively practice this control. Another app I use for tracking my anxiety, Pacifica, has timed activities and meditation that help me control my breathing when my anxiety is high and has specialized segments depending on how you’re feeling (relax now, mindfulness, stressful situations, calm down, etc).
That being said, this is still a beautiful app. With both I feel like I’m covered for what I need. I just wish there were some more opportunities to practice what is taught in this app through more active means.Show lessmeladactyl
Outstanding App!
I’ve only had the app for a little over a day now, and I’m already in love. I deal with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and my therapist has always suggested journaling. I finally decided that this app seemed quite promising, and it has not disappointed me. I’ve already made one journal entry when I was anxious, and being able to identify traps and see how you could think about the situation differently was a big help! Also, there was a bug in the app, so I contacted support, and before I knew it, they had responded! And, surely enough, as they said, there was an update released today fixing it! I recommended this app to my therapist as an app to suggest to her other clients, and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to start journaling for any reason!Show lessTechGirlYT
A Great App
I would recommend this app to everybody. It helps you get your thoughts down and pinpoint how you were feeling. But my favorite part is after 10 or so entries, you get to look back and gain insight. And this inside helps you to see patterns. And for me, I realized how stuck I am on the same things. It was almost a common theme. And I think we all have one. You just don’t realize it until you truly see the writing in front of you. You can’t dismiss it. As long as you are Frank and honest, you can get real results. I also like the feature that your feelings and percentages so that you can see what your core problems are. Once you know that, you can begin to change it. And I use other apps for that process. But this is a great beginning. It’s like a mini journal. And it’s help me get straight to the point with what I’m feeling and what’s happening to me at the moment. I wish that the questions are varied after you submit your feelings but I still give it five stars!Show lessbe-a-melody
Developer Response
Thank you for your great feedback! : DWorth the Money - Seriously
I grew up in a dysfunctional family and because of that really developed some bad thinking habits and depression. Most of my 20’s its been something I have always had to keep in check. I did cognitive behavioral therapy a couple years ago and it helped me a ton! However, I quickly learned that CBT is a lifestyle and is something you have to remind yourself of daily and use frequently. It’s very easy to fall out of habits and allow our emotional/mental health to dwindle. To be honest if you are reading this review you are probably on your phone a lot anyways and use a lot of apps, so please do yourself a favor and just try this. I’m looking forward to using it more and wanted to thank the developers for how intuitive it is. It is so easy to input all the steps of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and really get down to what some of your biggest mental filters are that keep you from seeing life and yourself the way they should be seen.
Just pay for it, silly!Show lessAtabor90

Your comments are greatly appreciated and we thank YOU! : DRewarding and Fun👌
This app delivers what it promised too and even more. The beautiful layout and simplistic design is great, and the faces are awesome. I appreciate the option of either quickly showing how you feel and hope it out later. I also love the method of going deeper into how you feel presenting you with traps you face. My favorite part is definitely the data shown. It’s rewarding to look at how you’ve felt over the month or even year. You see the big picture and I love that. If I had to ask for something to add to the app for the developer, I would like a way to where you choose how you feel and when you go and choose your emotions (such as the anger, or cheerful attitude) that the face changes. Example: I chose the ): face and after I did I said I was angry so after I save the face changes from :( to >:(. I would adore a feature like this but if it never gets implemented than I hope the developers will continue to improve the app in other ways. Keep up the good work!😀Show lessBrysoneum
iPhone X support needed!! Please!!
I’ve been suffering from anxiety attacks since earlier this year due to some personal matters. I’ve been extremely stressed and depressed for months now and it’s a great day to write down how my day goes even if it’s always negative. I could finally to record the things I want to say to myself without having to listen to anyone else’s opinion. But not having an iPhone X support always worries me. I want to keep writing but I don’t know if the developers are still paying enough attention to this product because I want to make sure that the product I’m entrusting is also getting a good support so I could always rely on it even if I switch devices in the future. However, the last update has been 7 moths and I would love to know if we are getting an update soon. Thank you!Show lessgcseed
Weird tidbit
This app is like making an emotional journal of your day. I started the first few days recording what I feel right as I woke up. But progressively have been making journal entries throughout the day as my moods change. It takes as little as a minute to record how you are feeling in that moment. From there the entry will ask you to specify why you think you’re feeling this way. I highly encourage anyone who purchases this app to do so as much as possible. At the end of the week you can see how your moods change and it gives you references as to what triggers those moods so you can keep feeding those triggers or try to prevent your triggers.
This is the first review I have ever made for an app. I felt so compelled to share my opinion with the world, that’s how wonderful this app is!Show lessIssacWorks
Phenomenal application
I downloaded this application on a whim, and figured this may be just like some of the other Mood tracking apps I’ve used before. I’m interested in getting to know what makes me feel bad, what makes me feel good, and have the option of getting more in depth with my journaling if I have the time. This app not only keeps track of my moods over time, but it points out your weaknesses, and your strengths. When listing the way I feel, the app has a list for negative and positive feelings that has helped me consider that there are two possible ways to think about things. I leave the app feeling refreshed and reflective of the insight it gives me. I feel like this application has immense potential, but could be developed even further. In some ways I have found this application better than having a therapist. With Moodnotes, you are your own counselor and coach. Keep up the good work!Show lessPerry Jacksen
I didn’t think I wanted this app, until I did.
As someone who writes in a couple of journals already (one pocket Moleskine for when I don’t want to carry the second one) I didn’t think this app was worth my $4. But after reading the App Store Story that was posted yesterday and how you’ve integrated CBT into what would normally be a pretty simple journaling app, which, as someone who’s very interested in and passionate about the field of psychology, intrigued me, at least enough to purchase the app and see how it works. And I must admit, despite having only wrote three entries over two days, I can see myself using this app for a long, long time. It’s just such an innovative combination of concepts. One thing I would like to see implemented is the ability to raise and lower different feelings after reflecting a thought. Right now I can only raise or lower the negative feelings I have chosen beforehand. Other than that, great app!Show lessTorvikTheViking
