### 4/5 — Good app for tracking your health issues for Dr.  Is it’s and reports😉

*2018-09-22*

Fantastic app for keeping track of pain, mood... weather... etc. I recommend it for medical info tracking 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

### 3/5 — Interface is not intuitive

*2018-06-24*

I like the premise of this app, but the interface is clunky and not intuitive.

I was just trying to simply select a face to indicate my mood and you would think that would be simple.  But it led to frustrated scrolling and clicking on various faces that were not the one I was looking for.

It also brings up by default a dialogue area in case you want to enter any text. I personally have no desire to use this as a journal Nora to enter any text whatsoever. I would prefer if there was an option to toggle that off.

At any rate, with the clunky interface, I cannot rated higher than three stars. I give it three stars because of the effort made to give people a mood tracker, but this app needs to be greatly improved.

### 4/5 — Does its job

*2018-02-07*

Been using this app close to a month now and at first I thought it was stupid, but realised after the first week how much my mood had changed, which I wasn’t aware of, so that’s cool. Basically once a day you click the screen until you decide your appropriate mood (very sad, sad, neutral, happy, very happy). Below there’s a hat that you click and are able to type a short message into a speech bubble as a sort of reminder why you felt the way you did that day. And that’s it. A gauge averages out your moods to show you how you feel most of the time. If you miss a day you have the option to click your mood for the previous day only. There’s nothing more to this app. I’d like more moods to be available (angry for one) and maybe more room to type, but otherwise I find this app useful and use it every day

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2018-01-10*

Nice single purpose app for tracking daily mood with easy interface for entering and viewing your data. 

Bug: doesn’t seem to remember my notification settings, the app keeps turning them off.

### 3/5 — Simple

*2018-01-09*

Pretty simple but does pretty much what it says it will so that’s that I suppose.

### 2/5 — WTH,,,,,

*2017-07-08, version 1.1*

NO MORE MPOINTS... WHY???😩

### 2/5 — Can't claim accrued points

*2017-06-12, version 1.1*

When I try to claim my points the app freezes

### 2/5 — Mpoints

*2017-05-10, version 1.1*

I can't collect mpoints anymore. Are you going to update?

### 3/5 — When is the update?

*2017-04-30, version 1.1*

I like the app but apparently there hasn't been an update since 2015. As of the most recent iOS update, I can no longer claim my mpoints. Please fix it so I can give it a better rating.

### 4/5 — Like the app

*2017-04-26, version 1.1*

I can look back at the days and see why it was a happy day! Or bad day...
mPLUSPoints do not see to want to work for me, now, otherwise, I'd give it 5 stars!  Hope this is fixed, soon!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2017-04-10, version 1.1*

Love this app. U have to try it out.

### 5/5 — Easy, practical, and useful!

*2017-04-05*

Perfect for quick mood tracking, short journaling, food & exercise tracking. No bugs so far; works great with current iPhone IOS. Plus, works with mpoints!

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2017-03-11, version 1.1*

Not bad

### 5/5 — Great for seeing mood patterns & m points

*2017-02-12, version 1.1*

It's so easy to enter your mood and keep track.  Also, it still has a decent amount of mPLUS points.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Could’ve been great

*2018-01-12*

It would be a lot more helpful if there was an option to select various types of moods along with a legend for each different face.  As it is, it is just guesswork trying to figure out what each mood face is supposed to be.  Too bad.  This had the potential to be really good.  Unfortunately, the developer hasn’t followed through enough on the idea.

### 1/5 — Useless!

*2018-01-06, version 1.1*

The app didn't work at all. The app did not respond to any of my actions. If I could have given it no stars I would have. 😭 So sad, I was hoping it was going to work.

### 1/5 — Ended mpoints without notice

*2017-06-30, version 1.1*

Was a Cute app until they ended mpoints without notice and I lost my points.

### 1/5 — Used to work; now it does not

*2017-05-03, version 1.1*

I contacted this App to inform them I can no longer retrieve my mPoints. They continue to accrue. I have over 70 to cash in. No one ever responded to me. Because of that I'm leaving a negative review.

### 1/5 — Ads make it unusable

*2017-04-21, version 1.1*

Used for 1 day and deleted it. An ad pops up every couple seconds.

### 1/5 — Not impressive

*2017-01-30, version 1.1*

I'm not impressed. It doesn't do anything, not even functional as a daily diary. What's the point?

### 1/5 — Good idea, awful execution

*2017-01-01, version 1.1*

It tries to be simple but it is incredibly easy to make an error while picking your mood. There are so many pop ups and weird mpoint achievements that I couldn't care less about. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Just awful

*2016-07-06, version 1.1*

Hard to control and understand- not to mention the overdone "happy to sad" scale. Anger, anxiety, severe depression, etc.. aren't included at all. Very disappointed, especially since it's a cute design

### 1/5 — Ads

*2016-05-31, version 1.1*

I just tried logging my mood for the second time and I kept getting ad after ad after ad popping up. Not cool. Had to delete the app. Very visually appealing though--liked the simplistic and colorful design.

### 2/5 — Incomplete-by👸🏻♿️

*2018-04-19, version 1.1*

Sketchy instructions. Once I tap on the face & find the right xpression 4 my mood then type it then hit “done” on the keyboard... Well. That’s it. That’s all there is. The app asked 2 allow 4 push notific8ion but I’m never notified. 2 bad. It looks like a cute app but simple 2 a fault.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2020-03-12, version 1.1*

I like this app, it’s like a journal. I don’t have much to say but this app is really amazing!

### 5/5 — Really effective and easy to use

*2019-11-01*

As a parent, I use this app to track how my son is coping with school. I agree that adding the day to the date  (mon , tues etc) would be useful then I could track if one day is better than another ie if Tuesdays are always good and then I could explore reasons why, such as what teachers or lessons he has on these days.

### 5/5 — Doesn't only do it, does it well

*2019-02-17*

This is a great app. It helps me to see how my moods have been for a while and I like to remember nice times. IfI could give it a million stars, I would, super app, even for free!! Very recommended

### 5/5 — This app has really grown on me

*2018-08-01*

Great app, very useful for tracking mood and just remember to swipe left and right. There’s lots really useful features built into Moody, really a very thoughtfully designed app.

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2018-01-06*

I was feeling bad every day. Until I got this thing called apps gone free. I think it changed its name to something similar to that. One day, I saw this app and thought, WOW I FEEL CRAPPY!! So I got it and within three days my mood was from the sad, to the medium, and now, happy! Thank you so much, moody!! Keep up the good work!!

### 5/5 — Moody review

*2018-01-05*

Simple quick and easy, perfect in every way

### 5/5 — Useful App

*2017-12-16*

I find this App very effective in tracking my mood on a simple, quick and effective way. I would only add that it would be useful to have on the summary of dates that the day was included alongside the date eg Tues 11.  Thanks.

### 5/5 — This app...

*2017-06-02, version 1.1*

Fun way to end the day and add mpoints

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2017-04-13, version 1.1*

Like it!
Sweet!
Cool!!!!
Great!!!

### 5/5 — Lovely little app

*2017-04-09*

It's a wonderful and simple way to keep track of your daily mood. It lets you set a reminder each day and I set mine in the evening. It's an elegant way to reflect on your day and see what your mood has been like in the past. 
I've never had ads on here. Would recommend!
