### 4/5 — Great but could be amazing!

*2025-08-03*

Currently I’m enjoying dotting things down just to meet a new fluff! Like others I can def agree I wish there were more emotions.

needs fixing: tags visibility; nearly non existent! cannot differentiate

### 4/5 — Love the Chonks, Please Add More Emotions! ❤️

*2025-02-17*

I have used a few mood logging apps. This one appealed to me with the very cute interactable characters which represent your logged emotions. I was a little sad at how few emotions you could log, but understand that could be in part due to the free nature of the app. I really felt like there was a lot love put into this app, and if there’s ever an update to expand it I think it would be that much better. Either way, thank you for making a mood tracker that’s fully free ❤️

### 4/5 — Compliments Neurodiverse

*2025-02-16, version 1.1.3*

As someone with ADHD and hypersensitivities I’m not sure why this app has not been featured or publicly praised for its accessibility initiatives. 

I have been for so long, looking for something for wellness/mindfulness tracking and haven’t been able to find something that is stimulating enough with incentives… until now! 

I only gave 4 stars because I was hoping for soundscape and I cannot see the tag descriptions in the bubbles. That said, it appears there hasn’t been an update in over a year now and my ADHD oversight is possibly in action. 

In addition, if there is an update coming, would love to see user-ability for customization of each Mood Chonk name and/or “other” Mood Chonk facial expression/colour.

### 4/5 — Update

*2025-02-03, version 1.1.3*

Crashing app for iphone 6 please fix.

### 4/5 — Pretty good, could be better

*2025-01-25*

I really like it, but I really wish it could be more involved, and maybe different ways to jot down things, because the app can be a bit boring after awhile. I also wish there was more customizations for your account. Finally make there be more things you can do with the chonks I wish i could like play with them or something, like with a ball. Great app all in all, I like the cute chonks and it’s great to just quickly jot something down, and it’s fun to collect the chonks

### 4/5 — Suggestions other than that it’s GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

*2024-12-29*

So like maybe its cause Im a teen but there is not enough emotions, and I don’t know how to name them all. Also maybe an emotion for being numb, because sometimes I feel numb. Also please ask more questions, I like answering the questions. Also maybe more reminders? I want to jot down my feelings like maybe every hour or even ten minutes, but I also only usually do it when Im reminded, so maybe thats why Im asking. Other than that love it!!!!!

### 4/5 — Buggy, so much potential

*2024-10-27*

I can't see the mood tags, the labels are just blank white. If this was syncable with Apple Health that would be great! Also there's no sound? I don't know if that's intentional though.

### 4/5 — Journaling I Can Stick To

*2024-09-05, version 1.1.3*

Saw this before but you really need to fix it. White text + white background turning into blue text + blue background when selected is not possible for a human to read. Please fix the tag formatting.

Other than that, I really enjoy the app and wholeheartedly believe that it’s the best one out there for non-commital people who want to write down their thoughts to use. It doesn’t make you feel bad with streaks and things, just encourages you with the cute little creatures to fill the landscape with. I like how it rewards you for feeling bad emotions and rewards you more for good ones. Also, hope chonk and mashy mage are the cutest.

### 4/5 — A lot of fun you could do with this app

*2024-08-07*

I love this app. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because I feel like it could have a lot more emotions to choose from and to be able to group multiple emotions in one entry; also I was thinking it would be cool if we could have different backgrounds to choose from like colors, wallpapers, neon signs etc..; it’s really cute and fun to use so I’d like to not get bored with it I feel like that would be a main problem for people after a while.

### 5/5 — Super cute, helpful tool to process emotions

*2024-04-23*

I look forward every day to journaling my feelings and seeing new chonks pop up! It’s so useful for keeping a journal and putting words to your feelings. I only wonder- how do i unlock/discover new ones? I’m getting the same chonks over and over again. And i have one recommendation: give more options for types of chonks. There’s no option for nervous/anxious, calm, excited, anything other than basic feelings.

### 4/5 — great app but still a few issues!

*2024-04-01*

i loveee this app but there are two main issues for me! 1. I can’t see the tags when i go to select them , although i can see them afterwards so it’s not that bad and 2. there aren’t many emotions to chose from , i wish they added a few more emotions to chose from other then Grateful, happy, content.

### 4/5 — Cute But One Complaint

*2024-02-16*

So I saw this app and thought it look really cute, so I got it. I love the little Chonks and the different types you can get. But it keeps crashing. Also, were the devils of Chonks are supposed to be I only see a black screen. This is slightly disappointing because I was hopeful to see all my moods frolicking around in a field! 😂 I would very much appreciate if this bug could be fixed.

### 4/5 — Lovely App

*2024-02-03*

Adorable and helpful. It makes tracking mood a cute and rewarding experience. The chicks are adorable surprises to unlock as you record more moods. 

My only disappointment was I wish there was a way to backup my journal and sync it between devices.

### 1/5 — It won’t let me get past entering my first mood

*2024-03-30, version 1.1.3*

It won’t let me get past entering my first mood and it seems glitchy. It looked so cute to use but unfortunately it doesn’t work at all

### 1/5 — I can’t see the tags

*2023-12-19, version 1.1.3*

When I go to select tags all I see are blank white bubbles.  Makes the app useless.

### 3/5 — cute but error

*2025-03-21, version 1.1.3*

idk why but i can’t see the tags. it’s just blank and it’s been an ongoing problem for me. please fix this.

### 3/5 — Buggy, so much potential

*2025-01-07*

I can't see the mood tags, the labels are just blank white. If this was syncable with Apple Health that would be great! Also there's no sound? I don't know if that's intentional though. It looks like the devs rebranded but have left this app under their old name and haven't bug fixed in over a year. It may be abandoned.

### 3/5 — Not working

*2024-12-12, version 1.1.3*

Tags aren’t working can’t read them there white can’t see the words

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2024-09-16, version 1.1.3*

This app is great and all but I am unable to see what’s written in the mood tags. The boxes are white and the words are white at the same time, which is why they seem to be tags with no names.

### 3/5 — Super cute but can’t see tags!

*2024-07-23*

Love this app so much but I can’t see any tags when I go to select them! I’d give this so many more stars it’s just got the one problem. I can tell there’s been a lot of love put into this.

### 3/5 — Would like to see improvements

*2024-04-26*

When I delete an entry. I would like to delete the chonk as well. It makes me anxious seeing that I’m not feeling the mood anymore, but the chonk is still there. I prefer the chonk gone, or as if it has ran away (lighter mode) if I want to delete what I wrote.

I want to also insert multiple emotions for one entry. Like a twin or triplets or quads. It helps me to acknowledge my mixed emotions when I’m stress and overwhelmed with something. 

Thank you.

### 3/5 — Tag issue

*2023-12-04, version 1.1.3*

Love this app! It’s the prettiest and most aesthetic mood tracking / journaling app I’ve had so far. However, the tags don’t show on my phone for some reason. I can see the section titles like “work” and “leisure” but the tags under them are blank.

### 3/5 — Bad Calibration

*2023-11-11, version 1.1.3*

Whenever I press buttons, they mostly don't work, which made me unable to use Mood Chonk

### 5/5 — THIS IS THE MOOD TRACKER WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR

*2025-09-02*

->discover and learn about particular emotions as you record!  
->it’s so meaningful to see your emotions characterized and having a unique dynamic on your emotional landscape
-> mood track with easy to read + filter charts and identify pattern
-> gratitude journal addition
-> THE CHONKS R CUTE PLS DROP MORE CHONKS

### 5/5 — My opinion

*2025-03-13*

I love this because when I write it keeps it and I get a new chonk. I love it so much this is the best journaling app and this is the first I ever. I hope the developors see this review because I love this and it keeps trake of what you write and keeps your data

### 5/5 — Love this! Hope for more chonks!

*2025-01-22*

For me trying to write about how I’m feeling emotionally or physically is kind of weird so I’d rather talk to people about it but not obviously a therapist or things like that just because that would make me uncomfortable too. I thought this would be good for helping me monitor how I’m feeling and taking into account how I am and it’s fun because I have these adorable little squishies! I hope more chunks come out later and I hope I don’t collect the chunks where I am sad upset or anything like that!

### 5/5 — SO CUTE AND USEFUL I LOVE IT

*2024-12-16, version 1.1.3*

SO CUTE!!! And really helpful as well. The variety of different mood chonks really motivates me to record my mood everyday. As someone who’s always lazy or forget to track my mood, for me this is the best app among all different apps I tried!!! Again THEY ARE SO CUTE I LOVE IT

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-12-05*

have used a few mood logging apps. This one lacks a little in variety of emotions but makes up for it with how cute it is. It also being free is such a big deal! I was very satisfied with my experiences using mood chonk

### 5/5 — So sweet and lovely

*2024-10-25, version 1.1.3*

No ads and such a simple and creative way to record my emotions and journal <3

### 5/5 — So freaking cute

*2024-08-25, version 1.1.3*

So for the people taking away a star because they want more feelings fyi, when you choose other, you can then enter what emotion it is you want, and when you enter your log it actually gives you a new chonk based on it, it has happened to me. So let’s explore around before we take away stars out of such a great app specially asking for something it already has.

With that being said. I’m in love with this app. It’s just so appealing, refreshing, engaging. Just too freaking cute and I am always aware of coming back to it to input my feels.

 It always puts a smile on my face every time I get a chonk no matter if I already have it. They are so cute walking around speaking their thoughts or sitting together just hanging around. 

This app is so cute and wholesome. I’ve shared it with anyone I’ve think would use it. I wish there was a cute widget, just to have them all hanging around in my screen. But that’s not enough reason to take a star away.

 I just hope they don’t get greedy with ads or trying to sell things on us. Seems like a trend nowadays, something that was more Android like (no hate on my Android fellows, I’m a back and forward Android/iPhone user, so I’m truly unbiased). 

Any how, This app is perfect. Thank you developers for such a refreshing experience.

### 5/5 — Outstanding experience!

*2024-08-14*

Wonderfully designed and built. Every interaction has such lovely attention to detail. Really makes it feel good to record your mood. One of the few apps that really made me feel encouraged to journal my gratitude.

### 5/5 — Helps process my emotions

*2024-08-03*

This is a very good app in my opinion, I think my mood has improved since I downloaded it but once in a while I have a bad day, but I think the fact you can write something down is nice because I like to look at the old ones I wrote and I understand my feelings better!! Amazing app definitely recommend!!

### 5/5 — ITS SO CUTE

*2024-06-15*

this app is so cute! The moods are adorable, i love that there is a space to express and elaborate on your emotions like a journal. the app is easy to use and it’s so cute, i love it so much. i rarely leave reviews but this app is really helping me through a tough time right now. i highly recommend to everyone ♥️
