## What is Happify?

Happify's science-based activities and games can help you overcome negative thoughts, stress, and life's challenges.

Our techniques are developed by leading scientists and experts who've been studying evidence-based interventions in the fields of positive psychology, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy for decades.
 
86% of people who use Happify regularly report feeling better about their lives in 2 months!

JOURNALISTS TRIED IT FOR THEMSELVES, AND HERE’S WHAT THEY SAID:

ABC World News' Mara Schiavocampo
"I gave it a shot for 5 weeks...it works!"

The New York Times
"Each track contains bite-size quizzes, games and activities that guide you to seeing more positive aspects of daily life."

The TODAY Show
"These are things you can do every day -- tasks you can complete and be rewarded for -- to feel better, reduce stress, live a better life, and actually be happy."

WE'RE GRATEFUL TO BE CHANGING LIVES EVERY DAY:

"I absolutely love the Happify app! I’ve been using it for years and it really has transformed my life more than ANY OTHER TOOL I’ve used to grow my positivity! The world would be a much better place if everyone used it...And it’s FUN!" -Ashley S., Tampa, FL

"Happify has helped me develop new skills in a variety of domains such as preventing worry, cultivating my relationships, and setting better sleep habits." - Elaina S., St. Louis, MO

"I have been using the Happify app for a few years. I started using the app when I was going through depression and needed something to distract myself whenever I was dealing with negative thoughts.  Happify has definitely changed my life for the better. I know that whenever I am struggling with negative thoughts, I can use the games and tasks on the Happify app to improve my mood." - Nerina F., Seoul, South Korea

"When I first started, I was skeptical about some of the exercises. However, I was willing to try them...and my skepticism faded when I realized they helped. I have less bad days...and when I have bad days, they disperse more quickly, and they're not as severe as they were before Happify." - Jessica G., West Park, FL

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2026-02-09, version 2.11.9*

Bo

### 1/5 — Fix Bugs

*2026-01-03, version 2.11.9*

Can’t upgrade within app. You’re losing out on sales. No, I will not use a computer to notify you of this issue. Your customer service should be uniform to your app.

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-10-12, version 2.11.9*

Great app, I’d like to fully subscribe but the button isnt working on the app x

### 1/5 — APP is buggy

*2025-07-29, version 2.11.9*

I constantly have to download and delete this app to be able to login…wtf.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2025-05-03, version 2.11.9*

This app never opens. What is the deal ?

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2025-02-24, version 2.11.9*

Can log in on website through Cigna but can’t get forget password to work to use the app. It seems like this feedback goes back a year+ so I’d assume there isn’t any intention of fixing.

### 1/5 — HappifyXCigna

*2025-02-05, version 2.11.9*

So it’s supposed to be offered with my health plan yet when I try to utilize the function it takes me where I need to pay Jesus get it together. I’m gonna look into the fine print, but if it’s supposed to be an actual option for my health plan and I report it to them that could constitute some serious issues. I think I’m gonna just go ahead and delete this app cause it’s bloody not worth it. Have a good day.

### 1/5 — Error

*2025-02-01, version 2.11.9*

Can’t log in without reinstalling the app every time I want to use it. I reached out to the company for help and they haven’t responded.

### 1/5 — Ugh chat bots

*2024-12-19, version 2.11.9*

The entire structure of this is interacting with chatbots. It’s like talking to a Spirit Airlines chatbot, but about your personal life. I’m not sure how this is supposed to make you happier, because it forces you to interact with the app in the most frustrating, time consuming, limiting way. I was trying to find an app I used years ago where you log things like “gratitude” “savoring” etc. I thought this was an updated version of that. Nope. You will more satisfaction from listening to hold music for 45 minutes.

Don’t waste your money, there’s free stuff out there that is better.

### 5/5 — Painless Transformation

*2024-10-28, version 2.11.9*

Early on, app was my support through suicide death of my brother and personal depression & anxiety AND now when I feel the need, I “refresh” with the app. Once you are familiar with the games etc it’s always easy to drop in❤️
