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. ### 3/5 — Honestly, I kinda dig it.

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.

It’s helped me a lot with drama, or just something going on at the moment. Would recommend! ### 5/5 — Very nice *2026-06-12, version 3.5.1* Especially with Apple Health integration ### 5/5 — . *2026-06-09* Очень удобное приложение, советую **Developer response:** Большое спасибо! ### 5/5 — Still using daily for over a year! *2026-05-30, version 3.5.1* May 29th, 2026: Amazed that I have made daily entries in my Moodistory for over a year! Upgraded to the paid version a while ago - no regrets. Almost a year and a half in. If you’re thinking about it, download it today! Updating on June 10th: as someone with ADHD, I’ve never consistently kept up a habit. This is the first thing in recent memory that I have done consistently for almost 6 months! The latest I’ve ever added an entry was literally the next day. And when I’ve awakened to see that my reminder notification is still there, I feel so weird like, omg I forgot to track my mood last night! Anyway, still loving this app! I started using Moodistory on January 2nd, and I’m so glad I’ve formed this habit. I have found myself kind of checking in periodically through the day since I know I’m going to reflect at the end of the day & it is helping me so much. I try to be honest with myself (avoid toxic positivity) and also focus on what makes me feel gratitude. I use the free version & I’m super happy with it. ### 5/5 — 3 Years of Use & Counting! *2026-05-26, version 3.5.1* I’ve struggled maintaining any form of life tracking and truthfully I still do… but I have used this app (periodically but inconsistently) when I remember or if I have a specific photo to save. I use a widget on my iPad that shows the picture from days I recorded positive emotions, which encourages me to add more pictures when I’ve in better moods. It’s pretty customizable and very reasonably priced for yearly premium. ### 5/5 — Used for over 4 years *2026-05-24, version 3.5.1* Been using this app for over 4 years. It’s great to see trends and major events and how I’ve reacted. I was disappointed in the update that paywalled some features I used for free prior. However the app has been great. I really enjoy using it and getting to add pictures and events and look back on my life that otherwise would be forgotten. Having used the app for quite a long time now I would lament moving to any other app. I would highly recommend this app for journaling. There really aren’t any features I would want because it already does so much so well! ### 5/5 — Огонь!!! *2026-05-21* Очень удобно. Разгружает голову, успокаивает, интерфейс приятный и интуитивно понятный, обучалка быстрая и легкая **Developer response:** Спасибо! :) ### 5/5 — Simple and great *2026-05-18, version 3.5.1* No complaints! Great ### 5/5 — Moodistory Review *2026-05-16, version 3.5.1* This app has helped me a bit to help me remember what’s important within my life and has helped me realise more about myself and made my memory better and has just improved mentally. ### 5/5 — Therapy Tracker *2026-05-14, version 3.5.1* The best app to help remind u of things you forget in general or for therapy needs like myself. ### 4/5 — Awesome *2026-05-11, version 3.5.1* Haven’t used it for very long but I like it so far ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2026-05-08, version 3.5.1* It’s nice to use as a tool to check in and log the activities you have done that day. ### 5/5 — The only one to use *2026-04-24, version 3.5* I have been advised by my therapist to keep a mood diary to try to understand what are the major influences on my longstanding depression. I have tried paper versions before without success, Moodistory is so simple, record as much detail as you want however the graphical reports make it really easy to see trends and and what influences your mental health For me this app has been a game changer ### 5/5 — Just cute fun *2026-04-21, version 3.5* I love using this app to track my mood and leaving little notes as to why I was feeling that way. It helps track my mental health and figure out what my worst stressors are ### 5/5 — Therapy Tracker *2026-04-14, version 3.5* The best app to help remind u of things you forget in general or for therapy needs like myself. ### 4/5 — Honestly, I kinda dig it. *2026-04-11, version 3.5* 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. ### 5/5 — . *2026-04-07* пока всё отлично. надеюсь, не обнаружу каких-то критических ограничений бесплатной версии и дальше ### 5/5 — Perfect app *2026-03-25, version 3.5* This is exactly what i have been looking for in a mood tracking app; clean fully customizable ui that allows me to see the patterns in my depression without the fluff in many other apps. Can’t wait to keep using. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken waste of money *2026-03-13, version 3.5* I’ve emailed three times about my issue with no response. I’ve paid for Premium for two years, most recently in January, but the app no longer gives me access to Premium features. The Restore Purchase button in the app doesn’t work. The contact email address supplied by the developer is apparently unmonitored. Great app, nonexistent support, will steal your money. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-10-14, version 3.3.1* New pay wall without any added new features. It’s predatory. I’ve been using this app all year for free, and now I have to pay? There are dozens of other apps that do the same thing for 0$. Shameful. ### 1/5 — Absolute Joke *2024-10-03, version 3.3.1* Doesn’t seem fair that after having the app for 4 years (after paying £5 initially which isn’t cheap) that the app has now taken away all the features that I had before and is expecting me to pay £35 to get them back. 4 years of use over! ### 1/5 — Déçu par les achats in app *2024-02-21, version 3.3.0* L’appli se met soudain à brider ses fonctions (qui jusque là étaient gratuites) pour nous faire payer un abonnement pour avoir le droit aux mêmes fonctions qu’avant. C’est indécent ### 1/5 — Meh *2024-01-08, version 3.2.9* The app itself is fine. But there are no things to tap that are negative- argument, frustrated etc. there’s no bad activities either. Needs work I think to best outline a day. ### 1/5 — チュートリアル *2022-12-27, version 2.5.2* 設定しているのにリマインダーの設定から進まず、何もできなくなりました。 ### 1/5 — Crashes on apple watch series 3 *2022-09-25, version 2.5.2* Crashes couldnt open ### 1/5 — Нестабильные пуши *2022-06-28, version 2.5.1* Шлет пуш уведомления день через день. В итоге история настроения с дырками и все плюшки приложения становятся бесполезными ### 1/5 — Latest update broke the app *2020-09-24, version 1.9.8* The latest update that was pushed has completely broken the app and crashes on launch every single time now. I’ve rebooted the device and still crashes at launch and is completely useless now. I’m on the latest iOS 14. ### 1/5 — Cheaper or other free apps that do the same thing *2019-09-04, version 1.7* I input into so am committed. This app was featured and I plunged straight in and purchased it. My bad as I only shopped around afterwards to find that there are other free options that do the same thing. This one is so basic I am not quite sure why it is payable. I am using it to track mood and energy levels over a menstrual cycle and it is sufficient for this purpose. Definitely not high tec or useful enough for the money in my opinion. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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! ### 5/5 — Easiest, least invasive mood tracker *2026-07-04, version 3.5.1* Great, quick, non-invasive mood tracker - especially for people with ADHD. The paid option is totally worth it to customize the scale, colors, and quick access buttons. I like to see if my moods correlate with certain health and lifestyle factors so I added quick buttons for my cycle, sleep, appetite, etc. I’ve used this app multiple times in doctors’ office visits to show trends in symptoms. I have mine set to ping me randomly a few times a day and it only takes 10 seconds or less to complete with the custom buttons. ### 5/5 — Emma *2026-06-19, version 3.5.1* Amazing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
