### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-06-08*

I cannot get into this app as it won’t accept a single user name I suggest. There is no way to contact anyone for support. I cannot use this app or get a refund

### 1/5 — Lost data

*2023-07-11*

I was enjoying using the App but I suddenly lost 5 years of data. Very disappointing and I haven’t been receiving a reply to my tweet about it

### 5/5 — The right level of tracking.

*2022-09-14*

Sometimes you need a simple app that helps you observe yourself that doesn't have all the bells and whistles. Instead it does one thing very well which is tracking mood. That's this app. It's great. I would also love to see a feature that randomly prompts you to track your mood so you can gather data when your mood is in both good and bad states so you can really assess how you are doing.  Eg. Randomly five times a day between 9 am and 9pm.

### 2/5 — App used to be great

*2022-09-03*

I’ve had the free Moodtrack app for YEARS and absolutely loved and depended on it. Lately it’s been glitching so badly that it’s impossible to type in. I purchased the 1$ Moodtrack app assuming this would fix the issue and this app has the exact same problem. Please fix this issue because there’s still lots of us who depend on your app. Would be five stars if not for the glitch.

### 4/5 — swoon

*2022-05-03*

this app is truly where social media should be more heading with authenticity and not geared towards advantageously contributing to ones figmented self image.

The human experience is developing through time no matter where u are and being conscious of where u r unstigmatized w/ being who we are.

Also love the universality & insignificance of gender in how this apps designed. Older guys especially r stigmatized for expressing their own feelings etc. Thanks for alloting this type of environment in social media.

The GUi however is very clunky/outdated and slowly responsive on even newer or older devices, ive tried them out. 

Thanks again, please update this app 💕 this is honestly the more morally equipped approach to social media imo. We need ppl to not curate their own identities socially because thats not how it works irl. Everyone is a fluid, not statically measurable process 💚

### 5/5 — Strangers Reading Your Diary

*2021-07-22*

I mean, aside from the weird Bible freaks that only seem on there to preach the word of God, it’s a pretty good app. I’ve deleted and redownloaded it a lot over the years, mostly deleting it due to me stopping my journaling. 

It’s a good app, and this time around I haven’t seen anything about God, so maybe those people actually got their own lives. 

It’s a good way to pour your heart out online, anonymously. You can back up your account with a fake email and set a password so you can journal anywhere. 

It’s like strangers are reading your diary, but in a chill way where they offer support. I’ve never seen a negative comment on this app, I think it’s remained troll free.

### 5/5 — Please share a donation link

*2021-06-08*

Please developer, don’t give up on Moodtrack! It’s been years since the app has been updated and I’m genuinely concerned for it. Provide us with a donation option if that helps Moodtrack survive, I sincerely want to help!

### 5/5 — in my room

*2020-08-17, version 3.3*

this is the one place i can go, spill my guts, lend an ear (eye?) and know i am among others who understand. only need one.

### 4/5 — My favorite mood tracking app

*2020-02-04, version 3.3*

my therapist suggested I keep track of how I’m doing so I played around with a few apps, this one is my favorite so far.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2019-11-14*

It's a great app for people that want to have documentation of  their moods. Each mood entry allows a star rating of 1  through 5. There is also an expanded section to write about the spefics of  your mood and how or why you might be feeling the way that you do. This is a good app that can provide an excellent snapshot of your progressiion. The data entries display in the form of a line graph which I find very helpful. You have the option of making your mood entries public or private. If you can open up a little emotionally, I think that this is a great mental health tool.
