### 3/5 — Honestly, I kinda dig it. Update: Uh, not so sure anymore.

*2026-08-13, version 3.5.2*

I haven’t shelled out for premium yet, but it serves my purpose well enough. [Tracking mood fluctuations and the activities that may influence them.] The interface is well designed and intuitive/easy to pick up on. I like the customization options. I’ll write a more extensive review in the future.

Update, 7/13/2026:
Well, I did it.
I wanted to love the app, but it's pretty limited. The visual customization is not very personalized, which I feel is pretty important for an app geared towards journaling/expression/and mood tracking.

Color palette is very limited, adding pictures is difficult, text font cannot be customized, no background or font color customization; the list goes on.

Overall: It gets the job done for simple mood tracking, but I feel it is lackluster and paying for premium wasn't as worth it as I originally thought.

### 5/5 — Great mood tracker

*2026-08-05, version 3.5.2*

Pros: the monthly view is great to track my mood. The swiping feature to measure my mood levels are cool. The reminder feature during the same time each night is a great. 
Nice to have: I wish I can add categories to my entries.

### 5/5 — Elegant and simple

*2026-07-31, version 3.5.1*

I’ve found this app does just what I needed, make quick simple notes. Any more and I might not have bothered but it’s really helpful to see patterns

### 5/5 — Every day

*2026-07-22, version 3.5.1*

Simple

### 5/5 — Great, best tracker app by far

*2026-07-19, version 3.5.1*

I’ve used a lot of mood trackers and this one is by far the best. Really flexible and customisable so you can track how you want. Only downside is the icons are limited but that is very minor. Overall great app, would recommend

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-07-16, version 3.5.1*

I like this. It’s easy to use

### 3/5 — Honestly, I kinda dig it. Update: Uh, not so sure anymore.

*2026-07-14, version 3.5.1*

I haven’t shelled out for premium yet, but it serves my purpose well enough. [Tracking mood fluctuations and the activities that may influence them.] The interface is well designed and intuitive/easy to pick up on. I like the customization options. I’ll write a more extensive review in the future.

Color palette is very limited, adding pictures is difficult, text font cannot be customized, no background or font color customization; the list goes on.

I also note that the "categories" do not show up/display, so there may be a glitch. I've restarted the app multiple times. 👎 Not much of a point to having a feature that doesn't work.

Overall: It gets the job done for simple mood tracking, but I feel it is lackluster and paying for premium wasn't as worth it as I originally thought.

### 5/5 — Best Mood Tracker

*2026-07-09, version 3.5.1*

This app is the most customizable app I’ve found.  It could be used to track frequency of meals, hydration, medication, sleep hours, and more. I have tried several others and stopped using them because this one app can track everything.

### 5/5 — Удобное приложение

*2026-07-05*

Красивое, удобное, большой функциональный выбор «чем вы сегодня занимались» с помощью которого можно отслеживать причинно следственную связь.

**Developer response:** Большое спасибо! 😊

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-05, version 3.5.1*

I love the colorful charts in this app as well as how you can leave notes on each day!
