Just wish I could use it. *2018-07-14, version 1.7* The app works well and actually was quite helpful with recognizing good things and being able to focus on positive aspects of life. Then completely stopped working. I only get server error when I attempt to log in. There isn’t app support for this one. Very disappointed. ### 4/5 — Nice reminders *2017-12-01, version 1.7* I have only recently begun using this ap. The very next morning I received one of their happy pop up notifications. It was a nice way to start the morning. It did make me think about the positive stuff, things for which I am grateful. I look forward to exploring it more. ### 4/5 — Inspirational *2016-11-04, version 1.7* Enjoy the apps encouragement to reflect and reach to become a greater me! I have not upgraded yet but considering doing so soon. Also this app is very easy to use which is nice. ### 4/5 — Good motivation *2016-04-24, version 1.7* It's great for initial motivation in the mornings. Check me in check to know what I will be doing through my day. I wish it had some activities. ### 2/5 — It is a good idea....but *2016-02-13, version 1.7* I was going along answering questions, thinking about priorities and my life, then I got to a certain point when a pop up appeared that wanted my to buy the app. I couldn't get past it, which means I haven't finished setting up my plan. This was advertised as a free app. It's not. ### 4/5 — Good *2015-12-10, version 1.7* Neat just don't like pay ### 3/5 — Freezing on every screen and just started *2015-11-15, version 1.7* I just installed the app maybe 10 minutes ago and I'm trying to utilize the app but it keeps freezing like it's stuck thinking. Every time I select or deselect an option! Then the notice that says server error or something will pop up. I'm really excited to start this as I've been very depressed for over 2 years now, just had my meds changed for MDD, and my boyfriend of 3 years has cheated and then left me :( I've never loved or respected myself and I need something to guide me and teach me how I even get there so I'm hoping this app will be helpful (Don't worry this app is in addition to professional help since I probably sound like a nut in review). ### 4/5 — 3 Month Review *2015-10-16, version 1.7* I use this app every day. I have been using it since July. It has now become a daily morning and evening ritual. For me, it has changed my life. My "happiness meter" has increased significantly because I actually do the steps and use the app on a daily basis. I highly recommend this app. The only reason I gave it a four star instead of a five star is because there are a glitches with the software. Even with the glitches I love the app. It has become part of my daily "happiness hygiene" routine along with using a app called"Happier." ### 4/5 — Love the app - not the upgrade price *2015-09-08, version 1.7* This is a truly amazing app for self-reflection. It has helped me process and face some negative events in my life, and has guided me to take the steps needed to add more positivity. The upgrade price is the reason for the 4 stars. I really don't mind in-app purchases, especially for potentially life-changing apps like this one, but I think $7.99 is pretty steep. I'll probably still end up purchasing, since it's helped me so much, but I do think it's overpriced. ### 5/5 — Great *2015-09-07, version 1.7* Fun fun healthy fun ### 4/5 — Pretty good so far *2015-08-30, version 1.7* So far I like it a lot. Not sure about the having to pay to "get full happiness", but we shall see. It's fun and easy to use, which is nice. Made me actually think about the positives not just the negatives-thank goodness!!! ### 3/5 — I like the journal *2015-06-20, version 1.7* Overall, I don't love this app. I use its journal to store quotes I want to refer back to. I noticed it has a separate space to store "ideas". I think that could be useful. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Realizing I've just spent about two hours in an elaborate set-up procedure that earned me 0$ *2020-11-13, version 2.0* Why am I suspecting it would have been more profitable to have spent that time on finding an actual job! ### 1/5 — Wish there was some way to get a refund! *2017-08-06, version 1.7* As many others mentioned in their reviews, you can't actually try out this supposedly "free" app unless you "upgrade" for $7.99. I was pretty sure it would be useful for me, though, so I went ahead and paid the fee. One day into using it, I see that this app completely does not suit my needs, and so I feel completely ripped off & will just be deleting an app I'll never use again. I'm sure some people find this app very useful, but having to pay to "upgrade" before being able to even see how the app works makes the whole "free" idea a complete SCAM! ### 1/5 — Sorry for the one star but... *2017-03-14, version 1.7* I was unable to get this app though I tried. Please fix whatever is really behind "server error" (which doesn't affect any of my other apps) and I will happily give you my opinion. I truly like the promising look of the app. Please fix or respond. ### 1/5 — Waste of time unless you pay $8 *2017-03-05, version 1.7* I wasted a full morning filling out page after page, answering all questions and now am stuck unless I pay $8 to "upgrade". Why not be honest and just say the app costs $8? Why try to trick people? Out of pure principle I will not buy this app ### 1/5 — Just one more app the makes you think it's free and it's not! *2016-12-26, version 1.7* Say up front there's a cost! Deceptive! ### 1/5 — Tricked *2016-12-10, version 1.7* Filled out all the questions then it asks for $7.99. 😡 ### 1/5 — Scam! *2016-07-09, version 1.7* This prompts the user through a long setup process and then does not allow use of the app without paying for it. It is NOT free!! ### 1/5 — Not really a 'free' preview *2015-09-07, version 1.7* I answered a bunch of questions then it popped up a dialog saying 'We hope you've enjoyed this app so far. We ask for a donation of $7.99' and that was it; couldn't go past that. Pretty useless. Nope. I didn't enjoy THAT. ### 1/5 — Was good till I had to pay. *2015-03-02, version 1.7* I have the Productivity Wizard and love it! Once you pay for this one I feel they are too similar. Not worth 4.99 if you have the other app too. ### 1/5 — Happiness *2014-11-05, version 1.7* Was looking good until they asked for $$$$. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So many possibilities and customization! *2020-02-12, version 2.0* I’m really enjoying this app. I upgraded for the customization. The monthly price is a bit more than other apps in this niche but it’s not unreasonable and I am using the features to their full extent. You can create your own categories and tags for journal entries and they show in the top bar to choose from.. I really like that feature.. and can add your own questions to your morning focus review, mid-check in and daily reflections. It also has a spot for you to enter in any questions, thoughts, gratitude and todos in the review and reflection screen and you can change and add those categories/ sections as well. I love self help books and guided journals like the Self Journal, Happiness Planner, Sunrise Manifesto, and Inner Guide journal.. but I never stick to them because I forget to take them with me or miss a day because I don’t have the book close to me. Well with Happiness Wizard, I can actually make a section in the Journal section and add all of the questions and prompts from my guided journals I have. So in my journal section, I have a category/section called The Sunrise Manifesto that I can tap and it takes me to a list of questions I added that are from the pages of the sunrise manifesto. So I have a digital version as well as physical. I also have a list of reflection questions that I can add and cycle through in my daily reflections. There’s habits and todos and the content is all super great. Give this a try, the possibilities are limitless. One feature request for both Happiness Wizard and Success Wizard would be templates.. Journal templates and different reflection templates would make this app above and beyond usability and ease of use perfection! It would be so nice to be able to pop into my journal and pull up a template of questions for myself instead of having to copy one each time. Regardless I love it! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-08-29, version 2.0* The new Happiness app has helped me organise my day and articulate realistic goals. The app has a place for everything from daily reflection questions to morning affirmations. Simple amazing. I highly recommend this app it’s worth the price. ### 5/5 — Inspiring and motivating *2019-08-21, version 2.0* This is such a wonderful and insightful program. I going over all the lessons every week to remind myself of all the new ideas and habits I decided to adopt. This new update is awesome. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Angel165 *2017-11-27, version 1.7* This is a great tool for personal growth and inspiration ### 5/5 — Great self-help app *2017-08-11, version 1.7* I love this app. I've been using it for a month and I feel much happier and more aware of my feelings. If you are looking to make a change for the better, you should try this app. I haven't had any problems with it freezing or anything. ### 5/5 — Really Has Increased My Happiness and Focus in Life *2017-02-13, version 1.7* I'm a fan of self-help apps, and of all the apps produced by this company, this is my favorite! It offers so many options for looking at all aspects of ones life and the pro version is very much worth it. I can honestly say that when I use this app that my overall happiness increases. I recommend it to others. ### 5/5 — Very simple *2016-09-08, version 1.7* I also tried Success Wizard and found this app to be more suited to my style and easier to navigate. ### 5/5 — Helpful app *2016-02-03, version 1.7* Though I don't open it often, I really like the push notifications. It changes my day sometimes! ### 5/5 — Greatness *2015-12-25, version 1.7* I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEE THIS APP😍 So positive! So great! ### 5/5 — Well thought out *2015-10-24, version 1.7* This app has good psychological depth in its application of research able knowledge! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
