I liked...
You can set daily reminders and make more than one entry per day, which makes it very easy to track changes in moods. It's also highly customisable.
I didn't like...
There's a lack of resources / information about moods and activity. You'd need some explanation of the theory and rationale before starting.
User review
I liked...
The app encourages you to engage with it often which is great for a calendar app and the tracking has a lot of detail from the data it collects.
I didn't like...
Engaging with the app many times a day can feel a bit like a chore or something to rush over quickly until it becomes more routine.
User review
I liked...
The reminders weren't constant or spamming but reminded me to put in a reflection or fill in a the daily log. The colours were also really nice and pleasing, really easy on the eye. It made me feel calm just looking at it.
I didn't like...
Tracking mood was hard to figure out after about a week.
