Where has this app been all my life

Categorising happy moments has improved my emotional state massively. I’m so grateful this app exists and will continue to tell my friends and family about it because I think everyone needs it.

Introspection at its finest

As someone who struggles with bouts of depression and anxiety this app does me a lot of good in both a recovery sense and I’m keeping my head above the proverbial water.

This app is possibly my favourite tool for categorising and understanding my own memories, allowing me to gain a better understanding of my own though processes and mental trends.

Overall, I couldn’t recommend it more, especially if you’re looking to make meaningful changes in your life or are looking for that first step in a long journey.

Enjoyable, Lots of Potential

Currently I like the app, but I can see it going a lot further! I used to only use the Apple Health app to document my emotions but I like the idea of having a gallery of positive experiences to look back on and reflect what I have.

For the user, I don’t find this to be a huge chore to use. Finding photos for all positive events may be hard if you’re someone like me who doesn’t snap a picture of everything, but for the important ones I don’t think this is difficult. The UI is pleasant to look at and appealing in a futuristic way. The app icon is pleasant subtle and won’t give itself away as a type of emotion tracker if don’t want other people tempted to look through it.

My suggestions would be
- More explanation of what joyalities are — I have a friend who appears in 27 of my memories and I thought that would be enough by now but haven’t seen anything and not sure when to expect when I will
- Testosterone is a healthy chemical to keep in balance but I don’t want to document anything that would relate to that hormone, any way to turn it off? Maybe a silly ask but if this is available for minors that could be a little odd to suggest as a goal and such
- Stats option for a line graph of hormones over time
- Map of “happy places”. There already is the option to add a location, this would just be a cool feature
- Perhaps this is already implemented but maybe having the brain chart have an animation that grows in intensity as you add more emotions

I’m looking forward to seeing where the developers take this app and I was honestly surprised to see only 27 reviews. Normally I don’t write reviews but for this I thought I’d go out of my way to contribute my experience and thoughts.

Matter is a must-have app for leading a happier life

With the latest update I can finally rate my emotions and officially build up my memory bank of positive emotions! Many thanks to the Matter team that tackled the memory creation crash quickly in response to user feedback. Now I can see what the app is all about!
The Matter app has made me think more about what I will do each day to ensure I feel a little bit happier. Too often I find myself chasing down to-do lists or foregoing my own happiness needs to accommodate others. And then I’m just depleted at the end of the day (despite getting 8+ hours sleep!)
When we live in a culture driven toward productivity, our worth feels tied to being busy. Then it’s hard to take the time to do something just because it makes us feel good.
Matter has made me aware that my happiness is a worthy endeavor. It taught me that slowing down to actually experience good moments and reflect on life builds neuroplasticity, which makes us smarter, more empathetic, and more creative. Happiness makes us more likely to say and do kind things for others. It also apparently leads to a longer, healthier life.
And the Matter app encourages me be happier by encouraging me to create positive memories every day with its beautiful UI and smart tips. I highly recommend others try it, and consider adding “create a positive memory” to their to-do lists. It’s a worthy endeavor!

Eye opening experience using this app

I love seeing how different events in my life are firing different parts of my brain, and how I can do more of certain things to increase my happiness.

Happy users make us happy :) Thank you for your feedback Charles!

Had potential but is a fail

Glitches every time I try to upload an image. Doesn’t work at all. Very disappointed.

Please be sure to update your Matter app in the App Store so you can start adding memories. :) Thank you for your patience, if you have any other questions feel free to reach out to support@matter.xyz

Good idea but app doesn’t work

I really want to like it but every time I go to add a memory the app freezes, making it unusable. When I restart it and click a draft, it freezes again. So far haven’t found a workaround but it shouldn’t be this unusable right off the bat.

Love this app!!

As a mental health therapist, I highly recommend this app! This app isn't only helpful for my clients, but also helpful for me as a mental health professional... especially when it comes to burnout. It's great for helping you understand your happiness, & how positive memories affect your brain.
