Love it

I love this! The calming music is so soothing. It gently encourages better sleep, more steps, and workouts by earning sunshine points to grow plants makes healthy habits feel fun. I also love the friendships you build with the characters along the way and the whole feeling of neighbors helping neighbors. Mossy is absolutely adorable! Such a peaceful, positive app that I look forward to opening every day.

Just what I needed!

I’ve spent years now looking for an app that will help motivate me to exercise. I enjoy working out, I just have a hard time convincing myself to start. But I do have endless motivation to water a sweet little garden, and pet an adorable capybara, and fulfill the wishes of kind villagers. And if I need to pick up some weights to make that happen I will!
