## What is Gem?

Gem is the simplest and most effective way to be happier! 
Positive psychology studies show that we can deliberately cultivate gratitude, and increase our well-being and happiness by doing so. Gem helps you to be more grateful.

Every time you are proud of an action or you enjoy an amazing moment, write it to get a Gem. A Gem is a piece of happiness and you can get up to 3 Gems every day.
Try to get your Gems every day by reviewing your day before going to bed for example!

These are examples of what you can be grateful of:
 · After three months, I finally found an apartment!
 · I met my brother's girlfriend
 · My nephews and I spent all the afternoon in the playground 
 · Kevin said his first word: "Mum"
 · I worked hard and saved as much to be able to buy my own car.
 · Awesome sunset run after work
 · The best moments in my life are when my parents tell me how proud they are of me and how far I've made it in everything I've done...

Features:
 • Easy and intuitive interface. Don’t bother with complexity, it's really simple to be happier
 • Timeline and calendar, enjoy past Gems by reading what you wrote to get them
 • Reminders, set a daily notification to remember to be grateful for your day
 • Add one photo to a Gem. The most important one. Life is about simplicity.
 • Custom Templates, personalize the questions that will guide you while reflecting on your day.

We’re working to make Gem even better. If you have any feedback let us know: gemappstore@gmail.com
We will be very grateful and proud for your feedback!

### 5/5 — No fluff

*2021-01-19*

The app has one purpose and does it well. Just what I was looking for!

### 5/5 — Gratitude

*2018-10-24*

We know that gratitude is a booster for happiness scores. This app helps me think of that - some times I am a little busy and just put down a little something to add on to later - maybe developers could look at how this could be changed? - if you miss the busy you cannot write anything in. Love that you can edit though. Camera feature seems cool. Awesome app - five stars!!

### 5/5 — In love

*2018-02-04*

Although very basic, it’s all that I need! I get a reminder at 9pm every night, and it’s great to spend 5 minutes reflecting positively on my day. I would like to be able to customise the question though, as I am more into writing what I am thankful for. Overall I would recommend this to everyone!! Be proud of yourself!!

### 5/5 — Love gratitude

*2017-04-07*

I love writing what I'm proud of or thankful for each day. It is amazing for my self care.

### 5/5 — Relaxing

*2017-02-19*

I mentally use a different question, "what are you grateful for?"

### 5/5 — Perfectly simple

*2016-09-01*

Perfect for reflecting your day and becoming more mindful and happy. 

Other apps try to add too many bells and whistles while this is straight to the point with nothing to distract you. 

Badabing badabing. Happy.
