mooding is a unique journaling app that allows you to heal and easily record your journal and emotions while evoking your inner child. Received multiple App Store "Editor's Choice" and "Today". # Design concept The reality of the Ferris wheel is a place full of all kinds of emotions. Some people fall in love and embrace, some break up and cry, some are alone, some are in groups, there are laughter and there are tears. But no matter what mood, the Ferris wheel will use its mildest speed to respond one by one. mooding is such a Ferris wheel that never closes, no matter positive or negative, it never stops, just like life, constantly carrying our joy, anger and sorrow. To ride on this Ferris wheel, you need a ticket. You can combine rich elements to create a diary ticket that can match your mood at the moment. From the moment you tear off the ticket stub and ride on the Ferris wheel, your diary will be sealed and appear on the Ferris wheel. Only through the diary to put our emotions at rest can we truly let go of the past and move forward bravely. Did you know? At the highest point of the Ferris wheel, that is the closest place to maturity, mooding with you to witness growth. -------- * Subscription payments will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of your purchase. * Subscriptions will automatically renew and payment will be charged to your iTunes account unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours prior to the end of the current Privacy Policy: https://www.ideatiny.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.ideatiny.com/privacy Contact with us: fb@ideatiny.com WeChat: ideatiny_studio
