How We Feel ٤+

An Amazing App & Project, 1 improvement

I have been absolutely loving this app, from the beginning the tone and language used is welcoming, warm, supportive and encouraging. I am a designer myself and I find the majority of apps are functional but devoid of character and this app maintains the ease of use (and even facilitates it) with a lot of character that makes reporting my feelings fun even when I’m not feeling like anything would be fun, the playfulness and abstraction in no way takes away from the experience and the human descriptions in the videos are so calm and purely helpful that they are not threatening the way self-improvement videos can be. They don’t make me feel bad for not having done a suggestion, just optimistic that I can see benefits from trying it.

My main point of improvement is that I have input a sizable number of check-ins on my iPad and others on my iPhone and although the two apps appear to be sharing the same identifier they don’t compile the data to get the full picture and that would be a huge improvement for me since I can’t easily compare the times that I am using one or the other. I looked for a way to export my data and import it to the other device(the long route) but I didn’t find anything, ultimately the best solution would be automatic sync. Keep up the great work!

Simple but effective

I love love this app. I share it with my friends and family. I love the ease - 4 choices to start, definitions of each emotion, and minimal typing the whole way. Unless you want to type a description of your moment, all aspects that are tracked are pre labeled buttons like “home” “mom” and “resting.” Those buttons are customizable and you can delete ones that dont apply to you. Navigating the emotion page is so user friendly, hope it doesnt change. I also appreciate how you dont need to log certain things like what you were doing, or how much exercise you had. The exercise log is very discreet for those of us who are sensitive to even small pressures to work out.

My only suggestion is to be able to go back and edit the time of day an entry is. Sometimes when I am working, I want to log my emotions. I cant because Im not allowed to have my phone on me, but I want to be able to log it after work and then edit the time so it reflects when that emotion happened. I think that same idea could be helpful in a variety of situations, like not wanting to make an entry around certain people, not realizing how you were feeling until later, etc

Thanks for using How We Feel! This is a great suggestion. We'll make this change in a future version.

Good, just missing some complexity

I am autistic and can struggle with labeling emotions in the moment, so this is a good way to center myself with that. However, I feel like there should be an option for a secondary emotion that you can add if there is one or if a feeling is more complex. Like if you’re feeling content and accepted in a moment and at the same time sad for all the time you didn’t get that. Or relaxed and unfocused in the moment and having a waxing and waning anxiety about the fact that that will come back to haunt you, but deciding not to care. Feelings are often more than one thing and only by taking in the whole picture can you get a full understanding of them. Heck, even with the options that are there, the fact that some form of grief isn’t an option is kinda wild even though that is it’s own thing? Or that there’s a humiliated option but not an embarrassed one? Or even like infatuated, flirty, flattered, romantic, or aroused, which is a spectrum of emotion that could technically fall under “compassionate” or “ecstatic” or something like that, but are also their own thing? Overall I think is this a fantastic starting point and I hope in the future they build in more features to capture a fuller range of the human emotional experience, creating a more precise tool for the people who use it.

Thank you for these suggestions. In the future, we'll add more emotions that you'll be able to access from the SEARCH menu. In the meantime, thank you so much for trying HWF and taking the time to write a great suggestion.
