## What is Happiness Mood Journal?

Happiness is a mood tracker and journal app that helps you track your happiness and presents this with clear visualisations.  In this age of self quantification, what is more important to measure than our happiness?

You can also enjoy the benefits of a being a dedicated diarist without the hassle of relying on willpower alone - customisable reminders help you to keep your journal accurate and thorough so nothing gets ignored.

This app helps you to be objective about your emotions (past, present and future) and helps you to make better life decisions. You will realise what is truly influencing your mood and then you'll be able to do something about it. 

Everything you write is private. You won't see any 'share my mood on Facebook and Twitter' buttons. For this information to be truly valuable it should be for your eyes only. 

If you are changing your life or taking medication then this app is a perfect way to spot any gradual benefits.

### 3/5 — Fun but buggy

*2017-10-06, version 2.4.2*

The UI is simple and fun to use. The tagging system is very nice.

The option to sync data to iCloud says "this is not yet 100% reliable", but it should say "trying to use iCloud will cause the app to crash and lose ALL of your data".

### 4/5 — Useful, But

*2017-03-10, version 2.4.2*

I like the GPS tracker, the ability to export entries, and the tagging system. Being able to add pictures would be really great, and having customizable activities/feelings to automatically attach instead of writing them out would also be awesome.

### 1/5 — App crashed and lost all my data

*2016-05-22, version 2.4.2*

App crashed and lost all my data. This was over the last two weeks of data. I am extremely disappointed and discourage using this app unless you like seeing your weeks of recording disappear. Thanks for screwing up.

### 5/5 — A Critical and useful part of my daily life.

*2016-02-08, version 2.4.2*

I adopted this app as a core component of my self-quantification and improvement effort. It has proven incredibly valuable in helping me analyze patterns and manage my approach to stress and increasing happiness.

### 5/5 — Beautiful app. User friendly

*2016-01-25, version 2.4.2*

It is simple to use and fits the purpose of tracking and giving inside in my happiness or better said, unhappiness reasons over the long term. Graphics overview are very useful.

### 5/5 — Great app, better support

*2014-09-18, version 2.4.2*

I've been using this app for a while now. Occasionally an upgrade to iOS or the app itself caused annoying bugs. But, the developer was always wicked-fast to respond directly to questions or concerns and provided direct updates to make Happiness run like butter! Worth the price! Let's me see at a glance the things I didn't realize were triggers for a better day!

### 1/5 — Great app idea but very buggy

*2014-07-01, version 2.4.1*

The buttons at bottom are often frozen, making it unusable, it crashed several times and it somehow deleted all my entries for several days. It's a great idea, but very poorly executed.

### 4/5 — Has potential to be useful

*2014-06-20, version 2.4*

Tags and UI could be improved.

### 4/5 — Good but needs work

*2014-01-17, version 2.4*

Excellent UI for prompting and collecting your momentary mood. Slightly awkward UI for tagging the reasons for your mood. Interesting visualization for reviewing aggregate data.

Not perfectly stable, but works well for casual use.

Despite its rough points, this app genuinely helped me learn things I didn't know about what makes me happy or sad. That is impressive, really.

### 3/5 — Okay but not great

*2014-01-05, version 2.4*

The app works as advertised, but the home screen continuously misreports the number of positive and negative entries. App is simple but stable.
