### 2/5 — It has major glitches and does not work on an iPad

*2024-01-09, version 2.10.0*

I have had this planner for two years but I am thinking of not renewing my subscription this year. It is not a cheap option (considering there are many other apps that are free) and it has failed to address major glitches and remains a bit clunky for the times. For example, when I am rating my day, as I try to move the sliders, I cannot move them individually, some move as I move another. So that feature has become useless. Also, the fact that when I write on the journals I cannot see the paragraph just the line is really impractical. I wish that I could select what sections to add to my view, like I don’t want to see eating or exercise sections. What is more, it has been two years since I have been asking about an iPad version and none has arrived.

Forgot to add that I cannot organize my to-dos, I can move them around, but once I close the app the list goes back to a random order.

### 4/5 — Good but…

*2022-11-19, version 2.8*

I really like this app a lot. What’s bugs me though is that when you are editing your to do list it doesn’t place the items underneath the previous one in an actual list form. Instead it goes up or just places it wherever. On top of that when I drag them to re order it won’t save and just keeps defaulting back to the previous way that it had it.

### 4/5 — Almost the perfect planner/reflection journal for me!!

*2022-03-08, version 2.8*

I keep going back and forth between paper planner and apps. I’ve tried so many…Ive used so much time on moving info. I really really like how pretty this app is, but I love the content of it even more. I am committing to keep up with this app daily for a year and not switching at all. But with that being said, there are some things that would be so helpful for efficiency:

*Quickly add a to do in one button
*Add more to dos quickly after by pressing done button
*Recurring to dos
*Move an item from bucket list to a specific date
*Drag and drop scheduled events
*Copy scheduled events
*Search function
*Bigger widgets
*Updated scheduled widget depending on what time it is
*Desktop version

I really hope some of these could be incorporated somehow sometime soon. I really want to continue using this app for my mental well-being. I don’t know if I will be able to stick with it without some of these functions…

They also offer online workshops on different topics like wellness and self esteem! I am excited to listen to one! Thank you for creating this app and for reading my review🤎

### 4/5 — Truly has worked for my well-being

*2022-01-25, version 2.8*

Out of all the virtual planners on the store, I would recommend this one for helping you set goals from a positive mindset. You get space to reflect every day and month, and that has helped with inner awareness. It’s not a planner just for productivity, it’s also for developing meaning as you work hard and complete all your tasks. 

Some things that I would love to see: 
- An iPad adapted version
- The ability to reorder lists and tasks
- Paragraph view mode when typing on journals and such (as opposed to sentence view)

I wrote some months ago about glitches and they must have listened because the app is working much better. I appreciate that there have been needed updates, such as the option to automatically transfer undone tasks to the next day. I can’t wait to see what other improvements and tools they bring this year!

### 2/5 — Missing Functional Schedule

*2021-12-07, version 2.8*

I used this app for a few hours just to see what  features there were. I liked the goals feature and the look of the app. However it’s missing the most important feature that I’d want in an app like this. I need a functional schedule area that shows appointment times with a  reminder/alert feature.  Until that feature is included in this app, I will keep looking for another planner.

### 3/5 — Please make this a one time purchase not annual or monthly payments

*2021-05-03, version 2.8*

I love this app so far, I use all the free features but for someone who has just got out of debt I do not want to be committing to a monthly or yearly fee, I would like a 1 time purchase fee then once i’ve bought it I know it’s mine to keep.

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2021-03-16*

I use this app everyday! I love the quotes, the space to write out daily gratitude and challenges, meals and exercise. I enjoy being able to take pictures so I can better remember. I like the monthly reviews. I would love to be able to write down snacks though! It would be nice if we could track our habits and if we could have access to the workshops on the app directly.

### 3/5 — Hoping for more

*2021-03-02, version 2.6*

I really do appreciate the concept behind the app... however to navigate through it does not feel as inspiring... I am also bummed that when typing I am not able to use paragraphs.. I believe in one of the sections I couldn’t see everything I typed.  

So it is not as intuitive or easy to just go through and use.  

I hope that the company does a deeper dive on how to make this app more user friendly.

### 3/5 — nothing special

*2021-02-16, version 2.6*

it’s really nothing special, just a regular planner. i really like the concept and the visuals of it, but i found myself never using the app. it also won’t let me delete my account. 😠😠

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2021-02-01, version 2.5*

Love the app but its full of glitches. Logs me out.
Shuts off if I click on "what excites me today".
Its very frustrating. I paid for a month but will cancel if I can't use it.

### 3/5 — Not quite there yet

*2021-01-31, version 2.5*

I ordered the paper planner along with using the app subscription. It has great content but it’s just not there yet. I don’t think it’s worth the description and it really seems like it could use an update. Eventually, I think it could be great.

### 3/5 — The mindfulness aspect is there, but too many bugs.

*2020-08-04, version 2.2*

The happiness planner has the perfect mindfulness templates. It allows you to truly reflect on your overall life, and allows you to take notes on texts and voice memos — super cool concept. The only thing that would push this app to the extreme is if it worked properly. The app would cross out things out and rearrange my action items based on priorities without my permission. The app would also crash frequently when I would try to fix its issues.

### 3/5 — Cannot open monthly goal and reflection

*2020-07-02, version 2.2*

Hi, I am using iPod touch with IOS ver.13, but when I open monthly goal and reflection the app will force to close. Please help to check. Thanks

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2020-05-07, version 2.2*

It is definitely an alternative to the normal journal but I would like to have the ability to download the app as a desktop version as well. 
It has potential but needs more development and in some places more flexibility. Why don’t you see the questions anymore as soon as you start typing!? I need to work with the app more but still prefer my actual journal. Might update later.

### 3/5 — Locked out my paid subscription and unable to get help getting back in

*2020-05-05, version 2.2*

I really liked this app when I first started so much so that I paid for the yearly subscription. Shortly after I had to reset my phone and I have not been able to log back in since. I keep in trying to log in and when I ask to reset my password, get the message saying that a link is being sent to my inbox but nothing is ever emailed! Not even in my junk inbox.  And there is no way to get in touch with them. I’m now feeling robbed

### 3/5 — Love this app

*2020-04-28, version 2.2*

I love this app but it doesn’t say that there are in app purchases, when in the app it says that I have 30 days left remaining in my trial.

### 1/5 — no me deja registrarme

*2022-08-17, version 2.8*

Pongo mi cuenta o hago una nueva y cuando le doy a sign in carga pero no m lleva a ninguna página, se queda como si no le hubiese dado al botón.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2022-07-03, version 2.8*

Don’t sign up, ignoring my emails since Dec 21 asking to cancel. Now chasing me for payment every other day

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2021-01-05, version 2.4*

Downloaded, created an account and the app crashes anytime I try to do something. Disappointed, looked promising but clearly needs a lot of work.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-11-10, version 2.3*

Trying to book onto an online workshop and it says there’s no mobile site. Redirects to the app where you can’t book onto the workshop. You have to have a laptop or ipad to book onto it - which i dont have right now. Ironically making me unhappy!

### 1/5 — Only formatted for iphone.

*2020-09-07, version 2.3*

This app is horrible to try to use on an iPad.

### 1/5 — Happiness or productivity?

*2020-08-12, version 2.3*

I downloaded this planner and thought it was useful to practice positivity, gratitude and mindfulness but as soon as I got the app I was really puzzled because all the quotes and the structure were about success, planning, goal achieving which I don’t think are connected to happiness (it is not connected to what we have or do, but is a state of mind that even an propertyless can achieve). I think it is dangerous and misleading and, if you want to maintain this structure, it should be called success planner. I also got the premium version some years ago but I decided not to support an app which can make you think that if you are not successful you can’t be happy

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2020-05-25, version 2.2*

I really wanted to like this app. But I purchased a year subscription early 2019 and it never worked. The quotes stopped loading, just a few months after purchasing and other features wouldn’t work. I would input information and it wouldn’t save. I deleted and redownloaded the app with no success. I emailed support about it, with no help and no satisfaction. They told me they would refund me after I canceled my subscription and deleted my account. I was unable to delete my account on my end, after trying everything. I sent them detailed emails and screen shots explaining to them, I was unable to do what they were asking of me. We emailed back and forth for months. I waited weeks, sometimes a month, in between responses. My last email, sent months ago, got no response. Customer service is terrible. By the time I tried to dispute the charge, it was too late. Lesson learned. So I paid $20 for nothing! Sorry to say The Happiness Planner Co. disappointed me. Would not recommend this app!! ☹️👎🏼

### 1/5 — Loved it but ..

*2020-05-03, version 2.2*

Beware this planner uses your phone code to access the app. Perfect app but I don’t trust not being able to set up my own passcode.

### 1/5 — Has potential, but it just doesn’t work.

*2020-03-20, version 2.2*

Every time I go to use the app, it crashes. I’ve rebooted my phone, I’ve checked for updates...and nothing helps. It definitely has potential but it literally will not work. Ugh.

### 1/5 — Do not subscribe

*2020-02-09, version 2.1*

Like some of the reviews below, it is almost impossible to unsubscribe from this service. I have tried numerous emails and when answered was told to to “unsubscribe from our web app” - there is NO WHERE to unsubscribe from (it was not visible even in my iPhone settings) and even put a screen shot of my phone to prove that this was not possible to do. Received no reply and have had to now contact bank to block any direct debits from them as they had already charged me. Please stay away from this company!!!

### 5/5 — A Daily Dose of Positivity!

*2025-04-17, version 2.11.0*

The Happiness Planner is a fantastic app for anyone looking to cultivate gratitude and mindfulness. Its simple, user-friendly design makes journaling a breeze, while the “Think Positive” prompts inspire meaningful self-reflection. I love how it encourages you to focus on one day at a time, helping to build a habit of positivity

### 5/5 — My favorite app!!! I use it every day!

*2022-12-05, version 2.8*

After using their paper planners & journals, I fell in love. I’m glad they launched the app as it’s more convenient for me because I can use it anywhere anytime without having to carry it. It has helped keep me on track with my life, schedules, and to-do lists. Moreover, I feel more positive and grateful by doing little daily reflection that has become a habit. Thank you for creating such products. I hope everyone gives it a try and sticks to it until it becomes a habit. 🙂❤️☺️

### 5/5 — WOW.

*2021-02-17, version 2.6*

The free version of this app offers SO MUCH. I am astounded (in the best way possible)! I am so excited to start tracking my to-do lists, goals, moods, etc!! I love this app so far and I believe everyone needs this online planner in their life. AMAZING!

### 5/5 — Love. Love it :)

*2021-01-28, version 2.5*

Please  make an iPad version, another than that I love it.

### 5/5 — Journaling & Everyday Life!

******** FEEDBACK PLEASE ********

### 5/5 — My only thing....

*2020-09-29, version 2.3*

First the set up is great! 
I use this pretty much for all my self love journaling and scheduling! I would say! It would help sooooo much if I had a weekly journal? To go over my progress through the week. I feel like that’s the only thing missing! Or maybe I’m suppose to do the journaling? I’m not sure what order to go in?
Either way, I love this thank you for making it affordable to everyone!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2020-04-14, version 2.2*

I’ve been following the happiness planner way before the app came out, but the app makes it so much easier to carry your planner around. I especially like the fact that I can access the planner online too. The only issue I have with it is that when I look at my to do list the things that I haven’t completed are already crossed out unless I edit it which then shows it not completed. Also I have a couple of recommendations which I think would make the app even better, firstly, I noticed that you can upload photos for your food diary, but I would love it if you could upload photos to your day reflections, I think it would be nice to look back on photos of things that made me happy that day. Lastly I think it would also be nice if you could have something extra on the food diary for daily water intake as it’s important to keep hydration levels up for your own happiness. Thank you for a fantastic app!!!

### 5/5 — Happiness planner saved my sanity

*2020-04-04, version 2.2*

love love love this planner so much! It’s giving me a structure to my day .... it keeps me motivated and focusing on positivities and makes me feel accomplished.... due to lockdown I’ve lost my business and watched my life slipdping through my fingers. I was worried about spending much needed money on a planner but so pleased I did but it’s been amazing for my mental health and well-being... I’ve recommended these planners to many people now and I hope that I will be able to purchase one again when this one is completed. Thank you Happiness Planner

### 5/5 — Perfeito!!!

*2020-03-28, version 2.2*

Completo, tudo que eu precisava em um só aplicativo 😍

### 5/5 — Right platform

*2019-12-24, version 2.0*

Want to be happy! This is the right platform for you. An app that promotes happiness .
