Solid app helps with seeing what’s important
United StatesBest I’ve tried
I tested this alongside similar apps Moody and iMoodJournal. I was looking for an app that let me record my moods several times a day as I’ve recently begun taking medication that can cause mood swings and my doctor recommended keeping a journal so we know if the dose needs to be adjusted in a few months. iMoodJournal is more open-ended which seems a little daunting, but I can log everything the way I want to, even medication if I’m so inclined. The analysis functionality is by far the best of the three apps. Any moods or factors that you’ve entered have a running score for the time period you’re viewing so if you’ve tagged an emotion or factor multiple times, it shows you what the average feeling score you had when you selected it. The heat map quality makes it very easy to understand how you were feeling at a glance and I appreciate how it was implemented. However, it was a dumb decision to have the best feeling represented as red and the worst as green by default. That’s not how those colors are used in the real world and it’s unintuitive. Fortunately it’s easy to adjust the color scale in Settings, but it would be even easier for users if there were a few default color scales to choose from or even an invert option. The only other gripe is that it isn’t clear where the edit button is. When you first start using the app, there’s a break in period due to it’s open-endedness and I wanted to go back through the first week of entries to standardize how things were entered for analysis reasons. I had to open the FAQ because never in a million years would I have expected the edit option to be hidden in the share button. Similarly to adult websites, no one wants to go near the share button for privacy reasons so I really wish they’d move it. Just the idea of clicking the wrong thing in there makes me anxious. I prefer the guided ease of Moodlight to start with as there’s so many emotions already available to choose from, but similarly to Moody, the analysis function of the app is terrible. It gives you very little grouping and it’s much harder to view trends - an option which is only available through subscription. I purchased Moody at the reduced subscription rate of $5.99/year and tbh even that was too much. They only let you have 15 entries a week in trial mode. Maybe if it was for a direct purchase vs subscription, but the analysis tools aren’t great. If you prefer viewing mostly everything via emojis, maybe Moody is for you. I would never pay ~$20/year for Moodlight. Wouldn’t even be worth it if it was a direct purchase vs subscription. iMoodJournal is cheaper at $2.99 with no furth subscription necessary so the fact that it has the best analysis blows my mind. I don’t feel the need to try any more apps, iMood is providing exactly what I wanted out of a mood tracking app. ***Edit*** After two months of using the app, I have a few more minor gripes. There needs to be a week option on the mood trend graph. The lowest it goes is a month and I just want to view the current week most of the time. The weekly cycle trend is the general trend of how you feel over the course of the week usually, I want to see for just this week. I also wish the Positive and Negative columns were filterable for date range. I logged a feeling at the very beginning that hasn’t come up since, but it’s still at the top of my Negative list two months later.
United StatesGreat Reflective app, could use updates
A great app to reflect upon the ups and downs and especially helpful if you are in therapy and/or want to examine mood fluctuations. I have ADHD & Autism and suffer from strong moments of Depression. This app had helped me take steps to understand the ups and downs. It requires you to build the muscle to make notes during any intense feelings, but it helps show you the imbalances so you can tackle your individual goals. My biggest issue is that the app feels a bit dated. The way it syncs is old school, and I have lost a couple years of data due to its clunkiness. So be careful when you back it up. Do a manual backup as well JIC. Would love for them to gather some thoughts from users and do a 2023 update. That’s all :)

United StatesMake hundred scale
This app is good used since December 2018 make the scale one to hundred please my mental health relies on this
United StatesNeeds some UI fixes
For those who are colorblind the entry screen and stats may be tougher to use. I’m partially red-green colorblind and although I can see the choices I can tell that someone with more deficiency would have a problem. The app needs to do automatic backup instead of constantly interrupting me to do a backup.
