### 4/5 — time and height

*2026-06-21*

love the app can you have the option to change time to standard and height to feet and inches?

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We’ve added the option to switch the time format to 12-hour time and display height in feet and inches. Please update the app to the latest version to try it out.

### 4/5 — Like themes

*2026-03-01*

Seems decent. Like the colors.

I think it would be good to have options you can put your rest and walk average heart rate. 

I'm athletic and my resting rate can get down to almost 50bpm. And walking is around 80bmps.

I would be good when putting your mood in and say your stressed out it would learn from those I puts. I've put in I'm stressed out and it says I'm calm.  I'm topically starting at a more stressed lvl and it would be nice to have that match and see growth from my system overtime not be as stressed.

Another thing would be cool is adding a social battery you can adjust. I'm an introvert and that would be helpful to see or put in that my energy is lower then normal. Mayby had and option of how many thing you have to do I. The day. Like spoon theory.

Last. I see that the high and weight does not have an option to put in Inches or Pounds.

**Developer response:** 🙏Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed feedback. We’re really glad to hear you like the themes and colors.

Your suggestions are extremely helpful. Personalized resting and walking heart rate ranges, better learning from mood input over time, a social battery or daily energy feature, spoon-theory-style task capacity, and support for inches and pounds are all great ideas. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share them with us.

We’ve noted your feedback carefully and will take it into consideration for future updates. Thank you again for your support and encouragement. 💗

### 4/5 — Hydration tracker

*2025-12-06*

Should have a to change the settings on the hydration tracker to oz instead of ml.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We’ve received your suggestion and will add the oz unit option in an upcoming version. Appreciate your support! 🤍

### 4/5 — Pretty cool

*2025-11-24*

So when I bought the app it was not horrible but it not the best I have anxiety and I want the live stuff but I can’t cause it’s a subscription so I can’t do really anything.     

Please fix

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for sharing your experience.

Most features in the app are completely free to use, including stress and HRV detection. The subscription only unlocks some advanced features like real-time updates. This helps us cover development costs and continue improving the app so it remains stable, accurate, and able to bring more useful and beautifully designed features over time.

I completely understand your frustration, especially if you’re dealing with anxiety. If there’s anything specific you’d like us to improve, please feel free to email us at MoodyWatch@outlook.com — we’re always happy to help.

Thank you again for your feedback. It truly helps us make the app better for everyone.

### 4/5 — Dark mode

*2025-11-19, version 1.5.3*

請問你們深色模式在哪  太亮了

### 4/5 — Good for emotions but

*2025-11-02, version 1.5.1*

Eas to use app for the Apple Watch but it would be better if it was tracking level of energy such as tired and alert.

### 3/5 — Good start but needs better graphs

*2025-10-17*

This app is a good start. Your watch displays HRV with good visual. 

It doesn’t seem to keep track of HRV consistently in the background. The app will log your HRV levels during the day if you remember to open the app and check your watch. If you don’t, it doesn’t always track consistently throughout the day even when you make that change in settings. 

The app tracks HRV throughout the day. Once the day is over, you can’t go back and look at the specific minute by minute log. The weekly log doesn’t seem to be an accurate summary of the daily log either. You can see the general HRV patterns by the hour, but not by the minute. This doesn’t make sense to me since the goal is to identify when your HRV is off so you can calm down and get it back within the normal range. Being able to see those specific HRV trends (and refer back to them) over time would be very helpful for growth.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you so much for the detailed feedback — we truly appreciate it.

Regarding HRV updates:
When you open the app on your Apple Watch, it will refresh and display the latest HRV measured by the hardware. However, Apple does not allow developers to actively trigger HRV measurements in the background. This means we can only show the most recent HRV value measured by the watch itself, not force new readings at any time. We understand this can feel limiting, but it’s a system-level restriction on watchOS.

About minute-level HRV history:
For the current day, you can view minute-level HRV data by long-pressing the graph on the home screen — this will expand into a more detailed view. We will also consider adding even more detailed HRV trend views in future updates.

Thank you again for your thoughtful suggestions — feedback like yours helps us make the app better for everyone.

### 5/5 — 可爱的软件界面，看见情绪就好很多

*2025-10-12*

试着下载了几款测压力软件，这一款的界面又清新又可爱，看见Q版的公仔心情都会好一些。功能很齐全，从测压力、喝水、热量消耗等等都有，令我惊喜并且爱不释手的是情绪监测功能，感觉有个闺蜜细心的关注你的情绪变化，并且贴心的提醒你该休息或吃点好吃的😊通过对比后决定还是选择Moody，爱了爱了❤️

### 5/5 — Like this app

*2025-10-05*

Sadly can’t get it to sync with my Apple Watch. And I already paid for pro. :(

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your support and for going Pro! 💛
Currently, our app supports Apple Watch models running WatchOS 10 or later, since Apple only introduced the new watch face widget system starting with that version.

If possible, please contact us with your specific Apple Watch model, and we’ll do our best to help you get it working smoothly.

You can reach us anytime at support@moodywatch.app — we’ll make sure to assist you personally 🙏

### 5/5 — 试了一下感觉这个软件不错

*2025-09-25*

试了一下感觉这个软件不错，HRV数据比想象中准，还能直观的从手表上看到自己的身体健康情况和情绪压力，当压力过载的时候，手表都会轻轻震动提醒我，让我要适当的放松休息休息，睡眠这方面也会关注着，可以直观看见自己的情绪以及压力，每个月每周每天都会从手机上看到一个压力情况，值得推荐

### 1/5 — Not good enough

*2026-07-20*

It is frequently wrong, and too slow. The information during set up is not in depth enough, and I’m disappointed in myself of falling for the discounted year rate instead of just doing the free trial.

### 1/5 — 界面展示要大调整，配色要大调整

*2026-02-14*

1、界面展示不清晰，开发者不知客户在这个页面想看什么，在凭自己的想象开发。开发者要去重度使用，要去问使用者该怎么改进.
2、趋势和日压力展示界面不好。配色不清晰，不能很好区分不同情绪状态。配色形式不利于清晰展示，改了配色也提升不大。
3、监测频率要提上来。和同行看齐。
4、开发者不要被自己市场部买来的好评所迷惑，不要沉溺在这里。如果看到这一条很生气，那恭喜你，你瞎了。完全不具备做好一个企业的基本素质。
5、以上4点一个月内没有大改进，或者开发者、管理层看不到这个留言。那开发者和管理层一个月后看到，做好找新工作准备。这说明开发者在工作应该关注的最重要几个方面有重大缺陷，或无力做出明显改进。在对手快速进步的背景下，这个app将很快沉下去。
2个月后看回复补充：1、老板快来看，你们果然看不到这些评论。2、不要去绕开重点辩解。讲的是app布局，配色，更新都不行。重点辩解没有买好评。3、老板过于懒惰，不在第一线，从回复看，公司文化还没有搞好。如果这样给你们用心提建议，还是看不到，还是努力的在辩解，还是不加班加点改app，那么建议积极找下家吧。

**Developer response:** 谢谢你的反馈。可以把你喜欢的配色的 App 发出来看看～我们会认真研究。监测频率目前已经是在 Apple Watch 硬件能力支持范围内拉到最高了，如果你看到有更快的数据刷新，可以对照一下苹果自带「健康」App 中的相关数据。如果 App Store 上存在买好评的情况，苹果一般会在 24 小时内封禁开发者账号并下架 App，建议你一旦发现可以直接向苹果举报。我们一直在持续更新和优化产品一年多啦，在这一年多我们一共更新了155次新版本每次都有新的体验，在今年10月获得了多个地区的苹果编辑推荐～ 也欢迎你有好的建议也欢迎你继续提给我们～

### 1/5 — inaccurate mood readings

*2026-02-13*

Downloaded this app just to see if it would accurately track my stress and mood, had it for two weeks and mid panic attack it’ll send me a notification saying my moods “great” but then whenever I feel fine it’ll say I’m repressed

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry the notification felt upsetting. To clarify, the app’s stress/mood insights are primarily based on health signals synced from Apple Health (such as HRV—heart rate variability). HRV is a clinically recognized physiological marker related to stress, but it’s also highly sensitive and can fluctuate quickly due to many factors (movement, caffeine, poor sleep, breathing patterns, watch fit, environmental noise, etc.). Because of this, a single reading may not always match your moment-to-moment feelings.

We recommend focusing on your overall trends over time rather than any one notification. As more data is collected, the algorithm learns your personal baseline and patterns to provide more personalized insights. Thanks again for raising this—we’re continually improving accuracy and notification logic.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2025-12-19*

The graphic and where the information is located on the watch really confusing.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Which specific part do you feel has an issue?
You’re very welcome to send more detailed feedback to moodywatch@outlook.com. Many thanks.

### 1/5 — Unwanted charges

*2025-09-27*

They offered a free trial, and I canceled the subscription effort it renewed and they are still trying to charge me.

**Developer response:** Hi, our app does provide a free trial. According to App Store rules, if you cancel a subscription before the trial ends, it will not renew or charge again. This policy is fully managed by Apple and developers have no ability to override it. Could it be possible that the charge you saw is from a different app? Please double-check under Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions to confirm the source.

### 2/5 — HELP ME

*2026-06-18*

So for some reason, it’s not reading my HRV even though I have ran around with it multiple times and I looked in the Health app and it said everything about it and it said it was fine, but MoodyWatch just can’t read it and I’m getting frustrated

**Developer response:** Hi, we’re really sorry for the frustration, and thank you for reporting this. MoodyWatch reads HRV from Apple Health, but HRV is different from regular heart rate data. Running or workouts may create heart rate records, but they do not always create HRV records.

Please try the following steps:

Update MoodyWatch to the latest version on both iPhone and Apple Watch.
Open the Health app on iPhone and check whether there is recent HRV data:
Health app > Browse > Heart > Heart Rate Variability > Show All Data.
Make sure MoodyWatch has Health permission:
iPhone Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > MoodyWatch > enable Heart Rate Variability and Heart Rate.
Reopen MoodyWatch and keep the iPhone app open for a short time so the data can refresh.

### 3/5 — A few bugs

*2026-07-09*

Can’t find lifetime subscription option on app. Also I hateeeee notifications so I always customize them. Even with the notifications set for every 2 hours, all the status updates off, it’s still messaging me every 5 minutes saying my HRV is low. I don’t want to mute the notifications, but I also don’t need to know every few minutes.

### 3/5 — Misleading

*2026-05-11*

Seems pretty good but there says there is a lifetime option and there is not

### 3/5 — Great but some questionable data

*2026-01-10, version 1.5.7*

I like this app and I think it has potential but I see some questionable data from it. My sleep score is Alaska rated Poor despite Apple stating very high scores as it monitors sleep. I think there’s some bugs in the code. Also, the UI language could do with some work. Some of it feels translated and not grammar checked.

### 3/5 — 提供专业版试用期！

*2025-12-02*

一百多的东西目前只能体验普通版，普通版体验一般，没有想开专业版的欲望，专业版究竟如何，要开放试用，到底比普通版强在哪里，要试用才知道，建议手表表盘增加卡路里消耗小图标，到目前为止消耗多少卡路里，以及喝水图标可以设置快捷➕号，比如点一下自动➕100毫升，不用再点进界面里面选，然后再确认，很麻烦，增设可爱图标，例如喝水进度不再是一个圆圈，可以是水杯，喝满目标，水杯就是满蓝色，睡觉评分可以是小月亮，评分越高，月亮越圆，目前对这个app的睡眠评分比较满意，其余有待提高

**Developer response:** 谢谢您的反馈～免费试用很多用户会因为忘记取消导致自动扣费一下子扣很多钱。如果还不确定适不适合自己，也可以先开一个月会员体验看看会比较划算或可以通过发小红书、抖音领取免费会员试用哦～ 喝水表盘和手表里的喝水功能，现在是有快捷「➕」的，点一下就可以直接增加，不用每次都点进二级界面再确认。可以再看看是不是下载错了 App，也欢迎截图发我们看一下具体是哪一页。睡眠评分目前是用不同表情的鬼鬼来表达的～ 你提到的可爱设计我们都记下来了，后续版本会认真参考优化，争取让专业版和普通版的体验都更有好的体验～

### 5/5 — Cutify

*2025-11-16, version 1.5.3*

Add even more cuteness⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Feature Resquests

*2025-11-14, version 1.5.3*

First off I love this app! I find it pretty accurate to my stress level and has been a nice reminder to help me take breaks at work when my stress starts getting high. If possible I’d like to make two requests. 
1) the JobMeow watch face if it’s possible to add it to the custom watch themes. The cats really cute but I’d prefer match it to my custom set  
2) Some way to input medication that could affect HRV and the time you are taking it/how long it lasts. I take adhd meds and I sometimes get concerned they might skew my range while active in my body.

### 5/5 — moody watch

*2025-11-14*

作为每天被工作压力追着跑的 iWatch 用户，入手 MoodyWatch 后彻底被圈粉，它不只是一个监测工具，更用下来的体验感远超预期 ，并且颜值和实用性都很在线。“压力鬼鬼”“打工喵” 这些原创 IP 表盘也太可爱了，还能自定义切换主题，每天换表盘像换心情。

### 5/5 — ！

*2025-11-10*

一直刷到别人推荐，很好奇自己HRV值是多少然后买了applewatch用，没有开通会员也能用，只是不能看到实时压力值，其他都还不错。感觉测得挺准的。虽然没会员，可是其他的都能用，没有影响，界面简单，表盘主题也可以自定义自己喜欢的（最喜欢的部份）。个人感觉比其他的软件方便使用，也更好看。

### 5/5 — 很喜欢这个软件

*2025-10-27*

用了一段时间觉得很不错 表盘很可爱，睡眠测得很准，强烈推荐给大家！
