Every Emotion
Read full descriptionHide full description
This app was inspired by my love for Inside Out, a movie which makes psychology feel so approachable by depicting five emotional characters living in the command center of the brain, directing a girl's behavior. With Red Anger taking control, people lash out without regards, while Purple Fear keeps them calm and steady, even when faced with unfamiliar territory. Yellow Joy inspires creativity in the darkest of rooms, Green Dislike protects us, and Blue Upset allows us to find inner peace and regain our courage to move forward. Unfortunately, people often overlook emotions outside of Joy, but in fact, Every Emotion is Worthy of Diary - which is why I created "Every Emotion". Every Emotion is worth downloading and staying on your home screen for the following 8 reasons: * Three-screen interface, with a clear and concise homepage that makes navigating easy. * Easily record your thoughts and feelings at any time, one tap, without pressure or hassle. * Choose the appropriate emotion for the moment and light up the corresponding color wheel. * Record your entries as text or images. * Export all your precious diary entries at any time. * Track your emotional distribution and diary volume with data statistics. * Completely ad-free and extremely private - feel secure in recording your thoughts. * A variety of icons to choose from, so you can match the look of the HomeScreen. * Dark Mode adjust for you to be suitable for low-light environment. The app is not pixel perfect now, however, it’ll get better. If you got any feedback, feel free to contact me via every.emotion.app@gmail.com.
