My holy grail mood tracker – Moody: Mood Tracker & Journal Review

THIS IS THE BEST MOOD TRACKER IN THE APP STORE. GET IT. II can’t say enough good things about this app. I had been looking for a way to track my moods, and nothing was working out. I tried a handwritten bullet journal that was fun at first, but became too cumbersome to carry and update throughout the day. Many of the other mood tracking apps lacked features I needed, or had additional features I knew I would never use. This app is just right. You log your mood by first choosing a numerical rating for how you're feeling generally. For example, a 1 would mean you were feeling pretty poor overall, whereas a 5 would mean you're feeling great. I actually ended up changing the numbers so I could rate on a scale of 1-10, which is one of the best features of this app - it's extremely customizable. Then, you choose a word from a pre-existing list to describe your mood. The app comes with some obvious basic options like "happy" or "angry," and you can add whatever other moods you'd like. Finally, you have the ability to indicate factors that you think may be affecting or causing your mood. Stressed at work? Didn't get enough sleep? Fight with your partner? You can add any of these from a list, which again comes with some preset options and the ability to add anything you want. There is also a journal option to make additional notes if needed. Each mood or factor is represented by an emoji. This is customizable: you can choose your emoji for each mood or factor. The options are included as a function within the app rather than using your phone's native emoji list. There are ample choices, but there is no way (that I've found) to do a text search for a particular emoji. You just have to scroll through the list until you find what you want. This is perhaps the one thing I would love to see added to the app, the ability to do a text search for emojis. For viewing your entries for a particular day: you can see the mood you entered, the numerical rating, any factors or journaling notes, and the time you entered it. There is also the ability to see your numerical mood represented graphically over time (i.e. past 7 days, past 30 days, etc.) and it will also show the mood words and factors for that period, as well as how many times you used that mood or factor. Aesthetically, the app is beautiful with clean lines and nice colors. Navigation within the app was not intuitive for me, but it was easily figured out within a couple days. Overall this is a fantastic app, and I found it more than worth it to purchase the upgrades. Thrilled that I've finally found exactly what I was looking for and do not have to keep searching.
