Moody: Mood Tracker & Journal 4+

I’ve been trying to get in touch but all the forms on the app have expired. The app is good but wanted to ask something

I am big on self reflection, as my moods tend to be quite powerful. This app helped me identify certain triggers that would provoke certain moods, as a result stay away or reduce exposure. It helped me see how certain life events maintained a certain mood onto the next following couple of days, which helped me see I wasn’t just being ‘moody’. This app allowed me to learn more about myself in such a clever and clean way! Unfortunately I downloaded it December 2019 and had to delete it as the 2020 version doesn’t work, do I just redone load or is there another version I can download? As I really need this app for 2020, and really self improve.

One critic I would say for the 2019 version is that when writing a new ‘entry’ you select the mood and factors going on in the here and now. It then flicks off and you have to reclick on the entry, press edit then you can add a note and picture and so on. Would be much better if this feature was corrected. That aside, I couldn’t recommend it more for anyone who wants to improve there mental state.

However I have just reached my first 15 days ‘trial’ for free which I didn’t know I had which is disappointing as I think mental health apps like this should come free as the poor stay mentally poor too as I can’t afford it. Thank you so much as it did really help me!! 😎

One of the downsides is that the range of facial expressions/emojis feels so limited compared to the range of activity icons. I struggle to find expressions that feel relevant and with this being such a visual app (the idea being you can glance at these faces and check your mood for the week/day) I can’t give it more than 3 stars. I’ve used other mood tracking apps that have full sets of emotion icons that seem a bit more serious and versatile while still being fun to use. Daylio for example offers a set that look like little blobs as well the more traditional style faces so you can decide how best to reflect yourself. Moody’s expression pack feels sort of thrown together and unfinished with some random Lego people thrown into the mix.

I’d also love the option to change the calendar to a European setting just for added ease. I do love so much about this app and really want to keep using it. It’s easy to use and highly customisable and a generally great idea. I just hope they keep making improvements!
