great app, but additional features needed

i think the free version gives you some nice options, but the premium is so cheap i consider it worthwhile, especially if you’re like me and trying to use it daily. i like the different moods, and reasons why you’re feeling, but it would be cool to be able to write in an “other” option as to why you feel something. like “i feel irritable because of ________.” i also really like the different prompts. i also wish i could make multiple entries. i’m undergoing bipolar treatment, and my mood swings are always uncontrollably all over the place. being able to document those mood swings in the moment would be super nice. as well as journaling. i’d like to document my days on an every few hours basis, but it only allows me one entry per day. furthermore, i wish i could document something for a different day. last night i was out at a concert till 1am, so when i wrote my reflection, it posted for TODAY, and i couldn’t change it to yesterday. the idea and the thought is there, just needs a little more work in progress.

Premium

So, I got this app when it first came out and it was the best. Since it was during quarantine, I got all of my emotions out and this was really great. I deleted it in 2022 bc I felt no need for it anymore, but I just remembered this app again, so I downloaded it. Only to see that we have to pay $3 a month for extra emotions? I remember when ALL emotions were free, and I get that you need to make your money, but this seems ridiculous.

you have to pay for moods

honestly, i was really happy with the app until the recent update. i get why you'd add more moods that you have to pay for, but i don’t get why we have to pay for a few of the ones that we were able to use before. i honestly like this app enough to pay, but only if it was a one time thing. i don’t see the point in it being monthly. after school, i felt like moodwave was the perfect place to vent so i always opened it. now i can’t use some of the moods i used to, and when i looked at the community feed they were all upset too. some of the supportive messages also got taken away. overall, i love the app, but i’m really disappointed with the update.

disappointing update

really did love this app, so much that i made our group get it so we could understand how to approach each other better and understand how to help each other in ways that would work. this update has ruined it for us though and we used it daily. having to pay for emotions, prompts, and supports we used to have previously, is something i’m having a hard time understanding, i can’t even tell my friends “we’re in this together” anymore or say i’m tired. removing these options unless you pay for a subscription is denying users to express how they feel without having to be confrontational, and getting to know other people understand what you’re going through, which was the whole point of the app in the first place.

HAVE TO PAY NOW?

I have LOVED Moodwave for about two years or so now but they just changed the app to have to PAY for many of the emotions we already have had and more. This is so disappointing; I would get if they maybe made some special emotions a one time pay type of thing but they took away the BASIC ones like feeling furious, lonely, and great. Not only that but you also have to pay for half of the buttons where you could send your friend a little message letting them know you have been thinking of them. Moodwave app creators, if you need money, through in an ad or something or maybe just don’t take away the things we already had. I used to always recommend this app to everyone but now I will be making sure people know it’s just a cash grab. The fame and success got to the creators and now look what happened😞😞😞😞😞💔. This was the last good app but alas no longer. I am so disappointed and devastated but I might as well just say I’m “sad” because I can only feel those ways for $2.99 a month.

Inconsiderate Cash-Grab

I would say that I am furious but that emotion would have to be purchased first. What I am is severely disappointed in this new update. I have been using Moodwave everyday for almost two years now and all the sudden we have to pay for the different emojis? I remember when these emojis did not even exist in this app. We have been gifted these emojis to use and become familiar with just for them to be taken back. For an app that prides itself in support and positivity, this move on their behalf just seems tactless. I would gladly invest in an app like this, that I hold very close and dear to my heart, but for the price to be three dollars every single month? I could get behind maybe five dollars a year or even a one time purchase for five dollars. To me this just seems like a unthought through business move that could have beneficial to both parties. Developers seem to forget that charging their customers will only work if they are content and willing to pay. This app still has such a great platform for outreach and an outlet to help with mental health. I hope the developers can see their mistake and put more thought into their next move.

what is this update??

i absolutely LOVED this app and used it every day. it’s a great way to stay in touch with friends and express emotions. but now there’s a pay wall to use most of the emotions? i hate that now some of the emotions that we used to have now require a monthly subscription, and they only added a few more, which aren’t even that great. i would love to see frustrated, fine, or something more useful. i love this app, but i can’t get over how annoyed i am with this update.

Phone number shouldn’t be required.

Let’s start off with how classist it is. Not everyone can afford service or keep their number. Second of all, if you get a new number, you lose EVERYTHING. This also means that if the person has your number decided to use the app, they can see EVERY entry. There is absolutely no reason I can’t use an email instead or have it added just in case I lose my number. You care about mental health and then leave easy ways for random people to view entries over a number change. Fix it!

great

absolutely recommend, has done more for me emotionally than finch could even dream of doing
only thing i could ask for is a couple of quality of life changes, like being able to private a post even if its already posted
other than that its good and very funny at some points

More emotions and to pick from more than one please!

I love this app and it’s really helpful as a disabled person but I’d like to see a much larger range of emotions and to also be able to pick from more than just one at a time as you can feel many emotions from one situation or many situations can make you feel one emotion.
Please consider upgrading to make it more universal for people’s emotional and mental health!
Otherwise this is an amazing app, my friends and I love it but would really like to see more diversity in terms of options.
