### 4/5 — Amazing

*2024-02-28, version 1.3.2*

Honestly the best my only complaint is I can’t see past years.

### 4/5 — please add a tired option

*2024-01-18*

petition to add a tired option and make it light pink because some days i am just tired. and just a girl. i constantly find myself feeling at the end of my day i was just tired. please add a tired option

### 4/5 — pretty colors

*2023-10-28*

petition to add a tired option and make it light pink . because some days i am just tired. and just a girl.

### 4/5 — Needs more customization

*2023-08-25, version 1.3.2*

Great app overall and it’s nice that it doesn’t collect all your data. One major thing that it’s missing is the ability to add customized moods so that your not limited to only a few options. Other than that the app is great.

### 4/5 — 👍

*2023-08-08, version 1.3.2*

Easy simple and with a press of the date you can choose the feeling and you can see the past feelings

### 4/5 — Almost perfect!

*2022-10-06, version 1.3.2*

The only thing it’s missing is letting you create your own moods to track

### 4/5 — Notes

*2022-06-24, version 1.3.2*

Amazing app! Please add the ability to write notes for each day

### 4/5 — Good Just add…

*2022-06-21, version 1.3.2*

Can you add “bad day” option. Also allow to Delete a mood from a day. I accidentally set a mood for a day a while back and it won’t let me erase it.

### 4/5 — Update suggestion

*2022-05-25, version 1.3.2*

Could you make the sharing of the months and progress automatic. Or make the app able to share progress with the same app on a different phone.

### 4/5 — Great app but...

*2021-01-30, version 1.3.2*

Very helpful just wish there were more options for emotions

### 4/5 — Does what it says

*2020-06-23, version 1.3*

What would be great is would be able to track multiple peoples feelings not just your own. Also be able to add custom feelings. Otherwise a good easy to use app.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Incorrect

*2023-01-03, version 1.3.2*

The date and days are not correct . Today is Tuesday the 3rd  of January 2023.
Your calendar says it is Monday the 3rd of January 2023. Out by one day!

### 1/5 — Please correct basic errors

*2019-11-03, version 1.1.1*

I wanted to like this, it looked like what I needed so I decided to support the developer. However buying the app did not remove ads as promised. And the 2019 calendar is 1 day out - no wonder I couldn’t get my data to make sense!

### 2/5 — Not enough options

*2025-01-30, version 1.3.2*

There needs to be more options or an other button where you can write a mood you’re felling that’s not on the very short limited list.

### 2/5 — Unrealistic

*2020-10-17, version 1.3.1*

The concept is great. However real people have experience a variety of emotions concurrently. We all have more than one emotion in a day and we have them together at the same time. But thanks for trying.

### 3/5 — Limited and Issues

*2025-04-26, version 1.3.2*

Could be useful if you could change category names. Also right now the app thinks May 1st is Friday. So all of
2025 is one day off. Pretty big bug developer.

### 3/5 — Suggestion

*2023-12-05, version 1.3.2*

Nice and simple and easy to use
But I do wish there were most emotions
Like fear and stuff. Maybe a customization option?

### 3/5 — Nicely done...

*2021-02-03, version 1.3.2*

Well done... more options would be nice.

### 3/5 — Simple and Effective

*2020-08-06, version 1.3*

The design of this app is simple yet engaging! It does exactly what it’s supposed to with no gimmicky features that clutter it up.

I only have one complaint, but it’s a very valid one, in my opinion:

I need an option to add custom feelings. As of right now, there are only five. Happy, Sad, Content, Angry, and Overwhelmed. While these are fairly effective at getting the point across, I have frequently found myself wishing I had a few more options to pick from.

I’ve logged “overwhelmed” for four days in a row now, but I was only TRULY overwhelmed on one of those four. The other days, I wished I could’ve logged “anxious” or “tired”. 

I also have an issue with “content”. Some days, I’m none of the other four options, but am DEFINITELY not CONTENT. Rather, I’m “neutral” or “tired”. 

While allowing the user to add and customize feelings may decrease the simplistic style of the app, I feel the benefit far outweighs the few extra colors and text that might clutter the home page. 

I’m giving this a three-star review simply because I can already see myself getting frustrated with it. It will probably only take a few more days of having to log “overwhelmed” for me to stop using it all together.

Not to get philosophical, but humans are already complex and our feelings are even more so. To force someone into one of only five categories just doesn’t seem reasonable. It takes away the human part of being human. Even lab rats can feel those five basic emotions.

### 3/5 — Really good

*2020-07-31, version 1.3*

I really like this app. It’s easy to use.

I’m am finding it more challenging to accurately track my mood the longer use it.

Did overwhelmed mean anxious that day? Or exhausted.  SSD was it just sad or didn’t get out of bed depressed? 

A super easy mod would be to let us change the display name of the database and leave the actual column name the same.

### 4/5 — Petition to:

*2024-04-09, version 1.3.2*

i am once again asking the HIF creators to please add a tired option,and make it pink/dark blue/possibly purple. tired is a valid emotion,it’s a feeling people have often,me personally because i have raging insomnia,some days i am nothing,but tired,and that’s the word that best expresses how i feel. even though there’s a sad option it’s not close enough to the emotion tired for it to be logical for me to select. sad ≠ tired. if you care about people with insomnia,fatigue,or tired people in general you will add this option on to the next update. thank you for listening,and i hope that you’re having a green day. 
p.s- there is one star off my rating because there is not a tired option.

### 5/5 — Mood

*2026-07-31, version 1.3.2*

It is amazing

### 5/5 — Add multiple emotions on a single day

*2025-07-01, version 1.3.2*

More emotion variation

### 5/5 — Yayyy

*2023-09-28, version 1.3.2*

This is the best tracker ever!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2022-04-08, version 1.3.2*

It’s nice I just wish it had more options, but otherwise I love it.

### 5/5 — Simple and just works

*2021-12-18, version 1.3.2*

No extra fluff and no annoying ads or pushy pay notifications.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2021-05-13, version 1.3.2*

Thank you for your app ! It’s very useful app

### 5/5 — Great, but could use some extra options!

*2020-09-07, version 1.3.1*

I love how simple the app is, but I think more moods can be added as well as a notes option to jot down things to accompany our mood for the day.

### 5/5 — i love it!

*2020-05-23, version 1.3*

i’ve been using this app to track my mental health and it’s amazing! it dosent take up much storage and it’s basically all you need to track how you’re feeling. :)

### 5/5 — This app is fantastic

*2020-01-15, version 1.2*

This app is really great-however, the date is one day out! So it is really annoying that you are on the wrong day for some reason-otherwise i love it-could this be fixed?!

### 5/5 — BEST MOOD TRACKER EVER

*2019-08-23, version 1.1.1*

Beautiful simplicity that makes me objectively think how I am feeling on a daily basis. This is an absolutely crucial task for someone like me. I will give my whole existence to almost anyone in need if I don’t check myself like this. Makes me give myself way more breaks when I realize how much better/worse I’m doing emotionally. I find myself saying less and less often to myself “this year/month/week has been horrible” because the statistics are RIGHT THERE! I’VE GOT THE RECEIPTS! I can look at my whole year at once and it really makes me think about where I am. (Most other mood trackers don’t offer this for some reason.) Absolutely beautiful app. Love it so much. Really helping me manage my depression! 

Only complaint (stupid one) is the app icon. I already have HIF in white text under the icon, the logo should stand out & be something different imo. Even just a simple circle or square with the different colors dividing the quadrants would be neat. 💠

Oh and I couldn’t find this app by searching  the App Store for “HIF” it just keep turning it into gif for some reason. I had to google it and “open in app store” to write this review.
