### 4/5 — Dommage qu’il manque le français

*2023-11-19*

Cette app est top pour le suivi d’humeur: humeur, émotions et notes permettent un suivi précis.
Dommage qu’elle ne soit pas traduite en français.

### 4/5 — Easy to use, could use alphabetization

*2021-07-28, version 21*

Great and easy to use, quick, so you can log your moods many times a day.
It would be useful if the moods and activities were in alphabetical order, though. It would be easier to find the right one that way, but I can’t seem to find that option anywhere…

### 4/5 — Could be perfect - but still pretty good.

*2021-06-17*

If we could add one category of our own that we want to keep track of, this would be a perfect App. For example, “Body” or “Health” since mind, mood and health work so closely together. I still love it though and hope to see that addition in the future.

**Developer response:** Can you email me at pran@pranapps.com with details on the feature request you would like to add? - Pran

### 4/5 — Amazing!

*2021-06-02*

This app is really cool! There are so many emotions, activities ect that you get to choose from. It’s fun to fill out and is an amazing way to keep track of your mood! I highly recommend

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2021-04-10*

There are so many mood apps I’ve tried and all of them sucked. This app has everything I ever wanted in a mood/journal app. Overall an amazing app, and no subscriptions. Only one time pay for only $3. Very nice. 👍🏻

**Developer response:** Thank you, glad you like it!

### 5/5 — Clean and intuitive

*2021-03-12*

My kids and I have been logging our moods with this app for a year now. It is a nice clean interface with customizable tags and useful charts that help provide insight into our mental health.

**Developer response:** Thank you, glad you and your kids find it useful!

### 5/5 — Ottima

*2021-02-05, version 19.0*

App assolutamente ben fatta. Manca solo la possibilità di importare i file esportati.
La migliore di questo genere sull’app store.

### 4/5 — I like this app

*2021-01-19, version 19.0*

I think it a good app when steas or just happy ro write amd go back at a later te amd it see how you inproved

### 5/5 — GREAT APP!! ❤️❤️❤️

*2021-01-15*

It’s simple, nice and private. There’s a one time fee but it’s worth it. I had a problem where I was charged twice. It had nothing to do with the Developer, It was a Bank error.  Pran is a responsive developer who follows up with any questions you may have.  I added another app to my phone that he developed. Thank you Pran!  Apologies for the “Bank” mishap SMH 🤦🏻‍♀️

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback! Glad I was able to help figure out the issue!

### 5/5 — Really helpful

*2021-01-09*

This app is really simple and super easy to use but also covers everything I need to keep track of daily moods. I have autism & adhd so remembering to do keep a log of my moods just doesn’t happen. This app makes it so easy & almost even fun. It takes me about 3-4 mins and then I can see how my moods have done day to day, monthly & even yearly. Once I had finished the 5 free logs I was more than happy to pay for this amazing app! Thank you so much.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback! Glad you like it!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2021-01-08*

Great app for tracking your moods and giving you the option and pointing you in the right direction to cut out what gets you down in your life . 
The things that get me down now stick out like a sore thumb to me now . 
If you care about your mental health get this app

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback! Glad you like it! Any thing I can improve to deserve a 5 star? You can email me from the app!

### 5/5 — App works really well. The developer, Pran, is the best

*2020-12-27*

The app is an easy-to-use mood tracker. What I like is the choices are customizable and they are simple lists of words. Easy to read and use. They don't bother with fancy icons which don't always make sense. 

There is also a notes section which I use a lot. I enter medication changes here too. Maybe a medication tracker would be helpful but then it might get too cluttered. I don't need it personally. 

Pran is very helpful. Available to suggestion via email. That makes this app even more powerful. It is very much worth the small cost.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind feedback. Glad you like the app and my support!

### 5/5 — Simpatica

*2020-12-16, version 16.0*

Ottima app e pro privacy!

### 5/5 — First Rate

*2020-12-16*

With the latest update, this has become the best mood tracker available. The developer is responsive and willing to take suggestions. John

### 5/5 — Love this app!!I really love that u can forward

*2020-09-24*

The journal to share with whoever you want. So easy. Pay the little fee for the app it’s SOOOO worth it. I don’t think think there are any apps where you don’t have to have to pay every month for a subscription and have access to all the extras. Also I have contacted the the designer with a general question I received a response either that day or the next and again for me, customer service is huge on my eyes. Thank you for the updates they’re great !!!
Kudos to you and your team.

### 5/5 — Helped me

*2020-09-04*

I’ve been using this app to really get my thoughts out and managing my stress level especially over the last few months with Covid-19.  Also want to thank the developers for giving out app a while back, because it is worth it.

### 5/5 — Stürzt ab seit letztem Update

*2020-08-21, version 11.0*

Die App stürzt ab seit dem letzten Update. Sonst sehr gute App.

... super schnelle Hilfe und Update!

### 1/5 — This is NOT FREE

*2023-07-12, version 21*

Touting this as free, and then having the screen pop up and tell you you have a few more free logins is dishonest. Put the pricing right up front so people don’t waste any time.

### 1/5 — Not free to use

*2022-08-17*

Just a few entries and then you have to pay. 
Shame…

**Developer response:** Can you email me at pran@pranapps.com with this feedback. I am looking to change the in app purchase model and I would like to discuss what’s better for users. Thanks. -Pran

### 1/5 — No settings option

*2019-10-18, version 1.4*

I can’t change anything the timers or delete previous information

### 2/5 — Adding activity

*2019-03-26, version 1.4*

When I add and activity the app crashes and the item adds to the side menu bar

### 3/5 — Such high potential,  but crashes lots NEEDS SOME BUGS FIXED

*2024-07-25*

LOVE the app, and is especially useful for bipolar individuals! Unfortunately it crashes frequently, especially when trying to edit past posts, particularly if attempting to change emotions and or selected picture(s). Also I don’t really understand the filter function of activities below the streaks. Likes: ❤️ Search feature! ⭐️ Best days and month feature for identifying behavioural and seasonal changes ⭐️Can create multiple entries a day - Dark mode option - Ability to add multiple pictures to entries - No subscriptions just a one time fee for premium (😩but there really isn’t a free version due to the 5 entry limit) Suggested improvements: - Being able to see the frequency of emotions (with an editable timeframe) would be extremely helpful— perhaps simply adding a tally on the blue emotion buttons in the summary window (below the all activities section)? And/ or: ⭐️Listing emotions alongside the weather and activities buttons under the moods section (below the pixels graph) would be especially helpful, as that way we can identify what emotions make us good, average, bad etc besides the weather and activities factors already integrated into the mood sections. - Customized rating scales for mood, whether just being able to customize colors, and or number of (1-10 rating, good/bad/neutral, etc.) - Alphabetize emotions and activities toggle (nice to be able to drag around the order though too!), even making the list dynamic with the frequency of use. - Adding weather factors to emotions in the same fashion that activities are listed, to further explore how factors like weather affects our emotions and hence overall mood.

### 3/5 — Mood edits not possible? :(

*2020-07-03, version 6.0*

I really wish I could rename the moods instead of being forced to use “awful” and “great” etc.

### 3/5 — Needs cross device sync

*2020-04-06*

I use my iPad for everything, but sometimes it’s nice to hop on my iPhone or check in without the iPad, but since the app doesn’t sync between my devices I have two sets of mood reports... which gets confusing.

This would be fixed if we could have cross device sync through iCloud and earn a 5 star. 

Edit, since my girlfriend began using this she reported the same shortcoming.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! iCloud syncing is in the works and I will be releasing it in an update soon!

### 3/5 — Good but have to pay $$

*2019-08-26, version 1.4*

Good app but in order to put more than 30 emotions, you have to pay.

### 3/5 — The app is great but...

*2019-07-29*

I found everything perfect on the app and was sure this would help me with my emotions and hold me back from yelling and crying out of stress, anger, or frustration. But when I got out of the app for a few minutes and then got back in, it was locked and needed my Touch ID. It’s not going to help me if I have to pay, be a VIP, or go through the hell of signing up

### 3/5 — Love it BUT notifications seldom work

*2019-04-16*

The app has a simple and cute design. However I’ve noticed that notifications do not come through a lot. 
I’ve missed recording the past 3 days because none have come through at all :(

### 5/5 — The best one

*2025-07-22*

I’m using it every day since 2019.
Trying other apps from time to time, but this one feels the best. Very useful and on point.

### 5/5 — Great and worth it

*2025-07-07*

I was looking for an app where I could record my mood and emotional fluctuations during the day. I also wanted it to be able to track my moods over the period of a month, especially during hormonal times. All of the other apps I found require a monthly subscription which I was not prepared to pay. This app does literally everything I wanted to do. It’s simple it’s pretty and there is only a one off charge which is fantastic. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Amazing app, but...

*2024-01-02, version 21*

Would it be possible for you to fix the padding on the iPhone 15 Pro? The search bar clips the status bar and dynamic island :(

### 5/5 — Simply the Best

*2023-09-23*

After downloading what seems like every mood journaling App in the store at last I have found what can only be described as Simply the Best This app has everything a great mood tracking app should have Great UI Great Categories that you can add to Face ID lock Timeline which you can go back in time to add which is what ultimately I wanted NO subscription just a £5 buy fee frankly it should be more the great thought and work gone into this app iPhone and iPad App Great emotion icons Great mood charts layout easy to read and understand So glad I found this app Simply the Best Thanks please keep up the great work

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-12-02*

I can't say enough about this app. It's fabulous! I love how it's laid out. It's super user-friendly & colorful & FUN! 
The data is compiled nicely with colorful graphs & I love how I can add or remove anything I want to. Im so glad I found this app it's so incredibly helpful to learn about yourself! HAPPY PAID SUBSCRIBER😃

### 5/5 — Fantastic and fully customizable!

*2022-09-15*

So many apps don’t allow for the customization that this one does and that makes them just not work well if you’re trying to really track and make it personal and meaningful. This one is perfect! I was able to completely change the “what’s the weather” section to a list of things I can do to soothe or evaluate my thoughts, which was PERFECT for me! Tracking has brought awareness of my emotions, helped me see what’s causing them and having a list of things to do to soothe myself has made me a happier and healthier person who feels much safer in this crazy world!  Thank you!!  And I love the simple, clean and colorful design as well as all the insights from the many graphs!  Just wish there was an app for my watch too so I could use it even more!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback. You can enable reminders in the app and add timed reminders which will send notifications on Apple Watch too where you can respond from.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-08-20*

Best mood tracker I’ve found. Really easy to use, and I love that I can look at the chart and notice my high or low days and click them to see the notes, etc. it’s a great way to look for triggers and trends.

My only complaint is I wish I could change the names of the 5 moods. I’m tracking for bipolar and I’m using “great” to represent mania. Not really a huge problem but it would be nice.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback. I will add a feature to customize the name of the moods.

### 5/5 — Mood tracker

*2022-03-05*

I was looking for a mood tracker app that I can log multiple times a day. Some self-care apps only come with one and may not even have the trending function for you to see. This one has emotions, activities and the weather for you to consider when logging your mood. It’s easy to use and get used to. I’ve only used it for 2 days! For a one time price, it’s really worth it especially for people who are anxious, depressed and stressed out a lot of the time. I’m pretty sure finance is one of the many contributing factors to their state of mind. I wish I found this app sooner.

**Developer response:** Glad you find it useful!

### 5/5 — Love!!!!

*2022-02-19*

I downloaded so many apps trying to find one that would work. This one is the best!!!! So user friendly, simple to use from the home screen, and all the graphs are amazing. I wish it could connect to my watch sometimes, but I usually have my phone so it’s not a big deal. 

Truly my favorite mental health app!!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Le meilleur mood tracker abordable que j’ai trouvé !

*2021-11-26*

J’aime beaucoup la flexibilité que cette app apporte. Elle n’est pas en francais, mais on peut éditer nos propres humeurs alors je les aies écrites en francais. Tu peux choisir ton background aussi. Quelques statistiques intéressantes. Top !
