Basic Features

This is a decent app that I enjoy using, but the features are really basic especially for a paid subscription. It’s frustrating that none of the tracking features let you set a date for your activities. I’d like to be able to track something I did on a previous date and have accurate data. This seems like a major design oversight.

Lots to help you develop

I’m a newbie to Happier but am enjoying it a lot so far: There’s great tools to help you grow and develop positive aims, even on the free level. I like the daily tracker that nudges me to log my progress. The app UI is also bright & colourful (not TOO much!) to lift the dopamine levels and encourage you to take part as well. Great integration with Gretchen’s theories, looking forward to seeing solid results - thank you!

Wish it offered more

I wish that we could record our one word theme here as well as keep our yearly list and mark off what we’ve accomplished. Having to go out of the app for the design your year prompt was disappointing.

Has potential but massively unuseful

For example…The reading challenge is a fun idea, with a flaw. There’s no way to post-date an entry or edit an entry, so if you miss recording a day then you’re out of luck. I’m not going to set another reminder to pick up my phone daily to record something in yet another app. I know I read daily and that’s enough for me.

I like it but it glitches

I absolutely love Gretchen Ruben and really do love this app, but it’s very glitchy. I use the free version. I will open the app and it won’t register that it’s a new day so my “daily quote” is the same and my wheel spins for 5 minute challenges will still show as being used up. I don’t know why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I keep uninstalling and re-installing it hoping to get it to unfreeze.
