It’s simple enough where I can log multiple times a day without losing the motivation to do so, but still provides an array of useful features. I love how there’s a graph to visually show all the moods I’ve logged, and the 3 steps in the process of logging have really helped me take a deeper look at why I feel what I do. The app is also very aesthetically pleasing overall, and super easy to navigate. At the time I’m writing this there’s only one bug I noticed, but I emailed the developer and he was very quick to respond and very nice. Highly recommend, especially if you’re someone who’s tried other apps but lost interest. ### 5/5 — Finally something helpful *2023-03-07, version 5.2* There are many layers to this journal app, I wanted to be able to write about my feelings and track them and this gives me an easy platform to do that. There is also really helpful content about dialogue, which is something I sometimes struggle with. I’m only just discovering the habit feature, hoping it will help me get motivated. Thank you for being free! It’s such a turn off when you are in the middle of something and they start charging you to finish your thought. I feel cared for. ### 5/5 — Wonderful and Efficient!! *2023-02-17, version 5.2* This app really provides great insight into the emotional impact of maintaining positive habits in your life. It’s interesting to track emotions and habits in one spot and see the correlation between the two. The app is nicely designed and simple to use!! I love that I can add an entry in a few seconds and still have meaningful data. I use this as a complement to another journaling app because of the insights feature. ### 5/5 — I can’t believe how much I love this app *2022-11-28, version 4.0* Easy to use, the list of emotions and unmet needs is perfect, this is so helpful, thank you so much ### 5/5 — The app I’ve been looking for *2022-10-26, version 3.1* Humanly is a rare source of truth in an untruthful world. Never before have I seen an app that combines educational content with mindfulness exercises so seamlessly. I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking to enrich their life in a non-typical way. ### 4/5 — Nice *2022-08-21, version 3.1* I enjoy that it seems nostalgic free And it gives advice let’s you keep daily record it really seems to help me it doesn’t offer to much but not to little I do wish it had a few more features just to keep it a little longer if a session but it’s great for a quick guide ### 5/5 — So helpful. (and mind-blowingly free) *2022-08-20, version 3.1* I’ve been duped before by apps that claim to be this helpful and offer this level of quality information, all for free. Every time, it’s been a sketchy data collecting operation, with cutesy cartoons and obvious “tips” for getting more in touch with your emotions (take a deep breath and count to 10!) This app is the only one I’ve found so far that breaks that mold. It is not out to make money off of me. Whoever created it, was motivated by something bigger than that, and I am so thankful to them. The way the information is presented is so easy to understand, while still containing a wealth of knowledge; and I have learned SO much from it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this!! ### 5/5 — Phenomenal app!! *2022-07-19, version 3.0* I’m truly very impressed with the simplicity and clarity of this app. It helps you to get straight to the point in realizing the needs that are being met or not being met behind each one of your habits. This helps you to design your habits more intelligently.I also really love the feature to log feelings and emotions because that gives deeper insight into the needs that are driving each one of the habits in our life. The creators have clearly incorporated the crux from Marshall Rosenberg‘s book Nonviolent Communication, which is what I think makes this application so simple yet extremely powerful. I really love everything about it but I think there is so much room for further development. I feel that information could be better organized and better displayed visually for people to have a better Birdseye view on their habits and feelings and particularly how each one of their habits are related to their feelings. I think information right now is just displayed in a list and there is especially room for improvement in this regard. My main feedback to the developers would be to 1) create a better way for users to visualize information more intuitively in a way that allows users to connect the dots between their feelings, needs and habits in which they engage. And 2) Everything should be stored on the cloud, because people tend to change their phone every year, and it would be a shame to lose one’s entire log of a year just because things are not stored on the cloud. I would happily pay for the service if these two things are resolved. Thank you so much for creating such an awesome app I really do forward to his further development! ### 4/5 — More lessons please *2022-04-06, version 2.7* Wish there were more lessons available. But so far it’s helping me expand my vocabulary. ## Frequently asked questions about Humanly ### What does Humanly do?
