Rip Off!!

I read the reviews and figured this app would probably cost $30/year. $60 a year is waaaay too much for this app. I was shocked. It’s sad too because I really wanted to use this app, but I am not paying that much. Outrageous! I probably would have paid the $30 too.

recommendation

I recommend offering a monthly trial, as a year is a lot ($) to commit to.

Happy Things was really wonderful and creative for a very long time. I enjoyed it more than Fabulous app for it’s simplicity until…
They started charging for it.
Yes! Once upon a time, Happy Things was 100% free!
I believe that they should have honored their existing users (we were the ones who gave them a shot in their beginning) when making the change.
It was insulting to learn that my (sometimes only) day’s joy now required funds that I didn’t have.
It’s been more than a year & I still miss it.

Scarygoods2, we apologize for this experience. We did offer discounts ranging between 50%-75% to our initial users because we truly value you! We announced the change a month before it was done (with in-app messages, as well as push notifications), and continued offering the discount for a month after the change. We would still be happy to offer you this discount - please reach out to us at contact@happythings.app. We hope to see you in our app again!

Could not use it :(

Unfortunately, when I open the app, it stays gray and it doesn’t work for me
But i hope it’s just for me and you can use it
Seems like an amazing app <3

Very Disgusted

The purpose of this app is to bring you happiness…but at a high cost. this is so disappointed as some might not be eligible to afford it. this is such a scam. stealing money. very upset.

This app just fishes for your money. I thought I finally found a decent app but no. No one actually cares about mental health y'all just want money. Made me unhappy.

The app costs $35 per year.

I wouldn't have downloaded the app if I had known how much it cost.

Simple & effective

I was really needing a source to help my mindset become lighter when I found this app.
I love it because it’s so simple & effective. It isn’t much to do or remember & it is more than successful in improving the lives of those who use it!

You have to subscribe to use this app.

The ads are misleading that there is a free version or at least some free features. Once you download the app and do your first daily happy thing, you can’t do anything at all through the app without putting in a credit card and purchasing a subscription. Don’t waste your time downloading if you aren’t planning to buy a subscription.

Hi there, We're sorry you feel this way. Our model allows you to try the app for free for 7 days, so you can see if you enjoy using it and get value from it, before committing to pay. Also, as all subscriptions are managed through Apple, we don't actually collect or keep credit card information. Our affordable subscription model allows us to continue helping people practice happiness, without resorting to displaying annoying ads or selling our users' data to third parties.

Can’t do anything without buying app

They ask you all these personal questions and then at the end where you think you’ll actually try it out (lite version to see) they immediately ask for money to continue. Yes, you can do a free trial but you still have to give credit card info. I just thought it was a sneaky way to do business and so it’s not an app I can trust.

Hi there, We're sorry you feel this way.

Our affordable subscription model allows us to continue the work and spread the word, without resorting to annoying ads or selling our users' data to third parties.

Not free at all

Just charge to download the app at this point. You can’t access anything without paying. Enough with the subscriptions to apps that could just cost $5 to download.

Hi there, We're sorry you feel this way. The existing pricing model allows you to try the app for free for 7 days, so you can see if you enjoy using it before committing to pay. When a company charges you up front, you cannot even try the app before deciding if you wish to pay for it or not. As much as we would love to offer the app for free (or for $5, lifetime), there is an entire team behind this app, working hard to make happiness accessible and improve the product and our users' experience. Our affordable subscription model allows us to continue the work and spread the word.

Frustrated

I was forced to upgrade the app to continue using it and all the free features were disabled. The only way to continue using the app at all is to pay for a membership. I’m fine with upgrades being paid for, but the whole app?? No thanks!! I will be deleting this one.

Hi there, We're sorry you feel this way. We announced the move to a premium app a month before it was done, and all of our existing users were offered a discounted annual subscription (75% off, on an already reduced early bird rate). As much as we would love to keep the app free forever, there is an entire team behind this app, working hard to make happiness accessible and improve the product and our users' experience. Our affordable subscription model allows us to continue the work and spread the word. As one of our first users, we're happy to extend the original offer of the discounted rate (75% off), please feel free to contact us at: contact@happythings.app

Big bummer

Of course they had to start charging to use all the app features 🤣🤪 love the idea of the app.. disappointing they’re charging now.. they didn’t use too.

Truly life changing 💖

I’ve been using Happy Things now for a year. Even in my busiest days I can always find the time to use Happy Things and prioritize my own happiness. It’s perfect for people who struggle with investing a lot of time and energy to self care and wellness.

Great app, but screen blank

I love this app and have been looking forward to using everyday, but today, the box with the happiness prompt is empty. I’ve tried closing the app and reopening it but it is still blank. But hopefully this issue gets resolved because I love this app so far!

act up u can get snatched up

Hi there - Thanks for the review and the feedback! We are aware of this issue and working on fixing it. In the meantime, here's a DIY hack to resolve it: In the app, go to "My Things" > click on any Happy Thing card > Click "Do it again". This should take you to the main "Today" screen and display the activity correctly! And if you encounter any additional issues, please feel free to contact us at: contact@happythings.app

Great but I found a glitch…

It’s amazing! But I did find a glitch. I can still use the app, but it’s still annoying. Whenever I open the app for the first time in a day, the part of the screen where it shows what task you’ve been given is blank white. The only way to get rid of it is to say I did it and then it’s not counted and gives me a new prompt that’s not blank. It’s not too annoying, but I still would like it fixed. Besides that, the app is great!
