The best part is, it's a game so I can take the few minuets to boost my mood and play a game. I highly recommend this app to anyone. It's worth the 1.99 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2016-05-04, version 4.0.0* I love this app! ### 5/5 — Great *2016-04-21, version 4.0.0* Wonderful app. ### 5/5 — A great way to start any day! *2016-03-02, version 4.0.0* I love that I can add my own photos and favorite quotes. ### 5/5 — A Lot Of Fun! *2015-12-12, version 4.0.0* Makes you smile. You can see where it's leading you and you're happy to follow. ### 5/5 — LMFT *2015-11-03, version 4.0.0* Best (& most painless) deal in psychotherapy I've seen in 40 years! ### 5/5 — Wow- amazing app! *2015-08-30, version 4.0.0* What a great useful app! I training for about 20 minute for a month and I feel great. It was so fun and I have already noticed a difference. Well worth it! ### 5/5 — Find myself smiling *2013-11-23, version 2.1.0* Perhaps I'm in too early to judge effectiveness, but I do find myself smiling while doing the exercises. It's rather pleasant--would recommend. In later versions, it would be nice to load a new selection of faces--I feel like a couple of shots are getting primed (e.g. happy swimming man) ### 5/5 — works smoothly *2013-11-21, version 2.1.0* Too early to tell if it has changed my overall cognitive bias but it is easy to use and a short 2 minute session does alter my mood slightly - for the better. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2017-03-04, version 4.0.0* It is a game where you pick the "happy" image out of four. They are all stock images and the "happy" ones are often someone with an obviously fake smile(no smiling eyes). The other images out of the four are always two grumpy people and fast food. The grumpy people are also faking it making really awkward faces that people don't really naturally make. The other reviews are fake. This could not possibly help anyone feel happy. Do not buy. ### 1/5 — Panda *2014-09-26, version 2.1.0* Can't believe my therapist got me to pay for this. It works as far as a technical standpoint, but doesn't work for my anxiety. ### 2/5 — Confusing *2013-08-11, version 1.3.0* No instructions. Using it was unpleasant and useless. ### 3/5 — Sessions are too short *2020-07-14, version 4.1.1* Hey guys. Kudos for the app. Allow members to change the duration of the exercise to look for the positive image. In my head it’s just easier to do a 5 minute session than to do 3 two minute sessions ### 4/5 — Not bad *2022-07-12, version 4.1.1* I’d like it if there was a way to turn off the points that show up after each photo selection. I feel so defeated when I get anything less than a 4 😆 ### 4/5 — A simple app based on complex science *2017-04-20, version 4.0.0* I read an article about the underlying methodology of presenting rapid images from which you choose positive or negative stimuli. What seems like an impotent exercise at first has over extended use truly improved my mood and the way I tend to view people and events. Give it a try for two weeks and see if it doesn't have the same effect for you. You certainly don't have anything to lose. ### 4/5 — Great *2016-08-10, version 4.0.0* Excellent for people with anxiety. Doesn't look so good on an iPad. The images are too small and there's no option for changing the image sizes or screen to fit the iPad. ### 4/5 — What you see is what you get *2013-11-01, version 2.1.0* I can't speak to the efficacy because I've only used this four minutes and I actually bought it for my husband. The app works smoothly in the iPad, but is really only designed for iPhones. You must keep your iPad in the vertical orientation and if you want it full screen, you have to just use the "2x" magnification button. Things I would like to see in the next version: Options to have more faces on one screen for the iPad. Ability to use the app with the iPad horizontally, as would be comfortable if I wanted to prop it on the table and do it while eating breakfast. The ability to have multiple users. Better tracking of scores and analytics, saving scores, dates, and times used for each user. ### 5/5 — Easy & helpful *2024-03-26* Surprisingly effective and nicely customizable. Thank you developers! ### 5/5 — Science Based Tool That Works! *2022-07-25, version 4.1.1* The articles behind this demonstrate the power of this tool. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Appreciation *2020-01-16, version 4.0.0* It is a fun way to help me remember & appreciate the blessings in my life!! For sure a mood uplifter 😉❤️ ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2019-02-09, version 4.0.0* Backed empirically and easy to use! Been using every day for about 2 mos now ### 5/5 — Great app for cognitive modification *2017-03-08, version 4.0.0* I started this app two weeks ago for working on my cognitive bias toward negative thoughts. I feel like it is helping a great deal. I love that I can add my own pictures and text slides and I can re-do the program after I get to 10000 points. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2017-02-18, version 4.0.0* Research has shown that this attention training can improve anxiety. I'm ecstatic that this paradigm exists outside of a research setting. Thanks mood mint!! ### 5/5 — Counselor *2017-02-07, version 4.0.0* Introducing this to clients to practice good mental health ! Provides great education and tools for them to practice positive mental health! I have fun with it too!! ### 5/5 — Worth the 1.99$ *2017-02-03, version 4.0.0* Amazing app,At the beginning I didn't believe that by tapping a positive picture my anxiety will relieve but it worked!!! ### 5/5 — Helpful way to wind down *2016-11-06, version 4.0.0* I have been using Mood Mint as a way to help my brain let go of whatever is rattling around in it before trying to get to sleep. I like being able to customize the pictures in it to include smiling friends or happy pets. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2016-10-11, version 4.0.0* My therapist recommended I focus more on the positive. Shortly after, I discovered this app through a BBC article and have found it to be very helpful in treating my specific social anxieties and depression. I'm on my phone all the time, and this has helped me to get something great out of that time!
