The bar showing the daily balls starts when you STARTED USING the app instead of on the CURRENT DAY. If you have been using the app for a while you have to scroll endlessly to see your recent history. Many requests to fix this have been ignored making the bar at the top ABOUT USELESS! The rest of the app is great. ### 4/5 — Good, but… *2026-07-27, version 2.10.0* I need an iPad version because I’m bedridden and that’s what I use. I realise most people use their phones most of the time, but there is a large group of us who prefer to or must use our tablets. Also, the price seems exorbitant, even for this company. But maybe it’s so great it’s worth it? Idk, and I won’t know unless an iPad version is available. It’s not difficult to do a little design adjustment and recompile. Please consider…thanks. ✝️ I like the company and would like to support you guys ツ ### 2/5 — 非日本語対応 *2026-07-27* 良くあるメンタルアプリ ### 4/5 — Bom *2026-06-04* Porque ele é em inglês ### 4/5 — It’s perfect *2026-05-21, version 2.10.0* The only issue I had was that it wouldn’t let me go monthly ### 5/5 — love it but there’s concerns *2026-05-06, version 2.10.0* i’ve always loved this app but now it just doesn’t work at all , every time i press the app it’s just a black screen until it eventually crashes my phone so now i can’t access the app 🥲 ### 3/5 — Some glitches *2026-05-01, version 2.9.0* I really like this app and I’ve been using it for years but, there’s been an issue recently where the app has been really slow and glitching. This started a couple of weeks ago and anytime I would try to type something the words take forever to appear on the screen and my whole phone just glitches. I can’t even get past the loading screen anymore. It might be just because I’ve used the app so often, but it doesn’t happen with my other apps and my phone has no other issues. ### 5/5 — Very thoughtful *2026-04-27, version 2.9.0* I can’t wait to use for a whole week ### 5/5 — Excellente application *2026-04-26, version 2.9.0* Je vous le conseille. ### 5/5 — King & queen 5 *2026-04-06, version 2.9.0* Taste good to me and her ### 4/5 — Meh….. *2026-03-24, version 2.9.0* Meh…… ### 5/5 — recommended!!! *2026-03-17, version 2.9.0* the app really helps keep track of emotions and its cool to see how far you get ^^ ### 3/5 — Ms Naomi Seitcher *2026-03-17, version 2.9.0* Mood AI reminds me to find gratitude in my life ### 3/5 — Mixed emotions *2026-03-12, version 2.9.0* I love the concept of the bubble being multiple colors, i wish it was more like a specific emotion, even simple ones that you can put in it, as your overall day can’t be assumed right then and there unless you wait til the end of the day, which i struggle to remember and identify my own emotions by then. so, dropping the emotions in will not only make the bubble more colorful, but also be more accurate. another thing, the widget is nice, but i specifically would like my bubble to appear, and to be able to add the widget to my lock screen. it’d also be cool if there was a function to see your friends; not the specific emotions their feeling, but the color of their bubble. lastly, i do not like ai, but ive been desperate in trying to find a good mood tracking app. so i criticize it for using ai — to an extent. using ai to help better peoples understandings of themselves is commendable, better than stealing ideas and art of others. so, in conclusion: i love this app so far, but it could be so much better. ### 5/5 — I love moodlight *2026-03-01, version 2.9.0* As you can see, I love this app. It helps me get through a tough day and/or emotions. you should download moodlight right this second!!! ### 4/5 — taps time *2026-02-24, version 2.9.0* Seems notifications coming at the time your doing important things as a distraction and may be part of there platform its to ability to try block put the noise and remain in present. ### 5/5 — Review *2026-02-06, version 2.9.0* Good App ### 3/5 — New option *2026-01-28* I really like the app a d find it very interesting especially the widgets on the home screen. Bit I Will give 3 stars because of 3 points… 1- dont suport others languages yet ( like, guys, this is very simple to implement) 2- emotion colors cold be better and mor alive, put a lot of types of pallets of color. 3- connect de Moodlight together on the widget on the home screen ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unusable and broken *2026-07-05, version 2.10.0* Got extremely laggy after a few months of entries. The app is now completely unusable and even if it works, i cant come back to my previous entries to reflect because too much time has past and i can’t go back that far. Dont waste your life on this app, there are way better apps like this. ### 1/5 — Had high expectations *2026-05-28, version 2.10.0* I have no idea why I bothered. Such a basic waste of time and money . Wasted energy for my phone. So disappointed ### 1/5 — ⚠️ Concerning privacy for a wellbeing app *2025-11-18, version 2.9.0* I had to delete this app because the privacy practices feel unsafe. It collects extensive personal data (IP address, location, device ID, app behaviour, mood, preferences, habits) that goes far beyond what a simple motivational/mental-health app needs. None of this is explained clearly inside the app. Worst of all, there is no delete-account or “erase my data” option, which is required in the UK/EU. This means users who enter personal or emotional content can’t easily remove it. The way the app reuses user content and grants itself a broad licence also isn’t made obvious. If the developers want people to feel safe using a wellbeing-focused app, they must add proper transparency, a simple delete-account option, and reduce the amount of data collected. Until then, I can’t recommend it. ### 1/5 — Use to love *2025-08-29, version 2.9.0* This all will not load. I’m usually already upset when I’m trying to do an entry and this app has almost pushed me over the edge due to its inability to work. It takes minutes for each screen to load. It’s super frustrating!!! Especially considering you have to pay for this stupid app. 0/10 would not recommend unless you love your phone freezing. Oh, and it’s not my phone. This is the only app that does it and it did it on both my old phone and my new one. ### 1/5 — Not Working Now *2025-07-09, version 2.9.0* For some reason the app won’t let me log anything anymore. ### 1/5 — 垃圾app买了会员登录不上，开发者不解决 *2025-06-19* 垃圾app买了会员登录不上，开发者不解决。已经联系了开发者，但开发者拒不解决，让我联系苹果退款，但苹果对于3个月以上的订单根本无法退款。踢皮球呢。建议退出中国市场，不要来中国市场骗钱。长这么大在中国消费没遇到过这种售后，真的气人。 **Developer response:** Hi there! We're sorry for any inconvenience caused by this subscription issue. Please contact our team at hello@monkeytaps.app so we can resolve this. ### 1/5 — APP now opens but… *2025-06-07, version 2.8.0* App is back to being excruciating slow to operate as it has been for almost a year. It currently freezes in a blurred configuration when presenting the final ball. YOU NEED KNOWLEDGEABLE IT PEOPLE! Calendar history needs to be reversed also. Can’t see trends. Been like this for years. I will not raise above one star until I see significant progress or I will finally get frustrated and delete the app. I like the app or I wouldn’t have stuck with you BUT PERFORMANCE HAS SEVERELY DEGRADED OVER THE LAST YEAR OR MORE. Thinking you are losing interest and seriousness in your own creation. 😔 SAD. So much potential lost for a great help to people that need you. ### 1/5 — Real person here *2025-05-27, version 2.8.0* App needs work by dev … beta stage (subscription not functional as part of bundle) but I’m sure this will be corrected. Can recommend (when dev fixes) but only as part of bundle. Doesn’t seem to get dev’s attention or work compared to their other more mainstream offerings. Conception is strong but only as part of a wellness bundle. It’s like the stick holding the burger together you throw away to eat the burger (motivation and I am apps). Nice to see dev working on other offerings but this app isn’t ready for mainstream … maybe TestFlight as a freebie testable … dev, you know this!! Promising company working out kinks. ### 1/5 — No free trial *2025-05-14, version 2.8.0* How can I buy a yearly subscription when there’s not even a few days of free trial for me to test it out? ### 1/5 — Moodlight Premium *2025-03-16, version 2.8.0* I didn't know what this app was about, so I cancelled right away after I tried it once. I was not eligible to get a refund, so I am stuck with this app for a year. I call this a scam! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Almost a full moon *2026-08-24, version 2.10.0* Can’t wait ☦️🙏🌕🌝🌀🍀🧜‍♀️❤️☦️ ### 5/5 — Moon light is the best *2026-08-22, version 2.10.0* Best app ever to help you along life’s journey… ### 5/5 — The only reason why I have a problem with this is because I don’t know how to use it *2026-08-02, version 2.10.0* The first thing I noticed was that the first time I saw a person I knew I was in a bad place I thought I had a stroke and I was like oh my goodness 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🍀🫖🧑‍🍳🎈💙🙏🏻☕️💜😊😊😊 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-17, version 2.10.0* Helped me improve a lot!
