How We Feel for Negative User Reviews

✓ Great concept but not really ND friendlyI love the idea and how it tries to teach you, but the interface to choose how you're feeling is pretty overwhelming for someone who lacks the vocabulary to describe how they're feeling (you know, the target audience for this app). I like how each feeling has a definition when you tap it, but they are all so similar I find myself scrolling through tons of different feelings never finding quite the right one and forgetting which ones were close so I can’t easily narrow it down. PICTURES would make this 10,000% more useful. And a meme version would make it more fun and something I’d stick with longer. Tagging feelings for comparison before you choose the final one would be nice too, maybe I just haven’t figured that out yet..DebikinsVersion: 1.2.10

✓ Crashes on openReally wanted this to be good but opened once, crashes ever since. iPhone 11 Pro Max ios16.5.Adstr123Version: 1.3.1

✓ Keeps crashingHasn’t worked for me for two weeks.Cin5436778Version: 1.2.10

✓ Missing A few Features…To keep this review short & sweet, this is a great app, great graphics & visuals, a creative way to connect with people through your emotional status, my suggestions to make this app much better in that department is to enable more access to your emotion data inside the app with the people you want share them with, access to your daily, monthly data to stay in touch, it was one of my issues initially because as soon as a friend submits an emotion, the one before gets erased automatically without any history to go back to, so more access to your emotional data & a history feature would be great! Lastly adding more emotions to be more specific with our wording..MehdiTourariVersion: 1.1.8

✓ Needs a notes EXPORT feature.No journaling app is complete without an export feature that sends our text entry data to a standard format like PDF, TXT or RTF. ** ** Because all our notes, epiphanies, realizations, etc, are stored on the DEVICE and not on their servers if something happens to the device or to the app, we’re out of luck and all our notes may DISAPPEAR. What’s a worse way to make a person feel lost, confused, and miserable than to realize an entire year’s worth of journal entries is GONE FOREVER because they dropped their phone or the app crashed unexpectedly? ** In fact, just now I was leaving a review through the app and the app FROZE on me. Thankfully no other data was lost this time but I think I’m making my point. ** I’m not saying the developers should find a way to store all the photos and audio recordings, that would be too cumbersome, just a way to store the date and time and all the notes we write for each entry and export that to a standard format like PDF, TEXT, and/or RTF. ** We should have multiple means of export like: Phone drive, email, Dropbox, etc. ** It would also be nice to include a feature that allows the ability to sync the data among multiple devices on a single Apple ID. I would be willing to pay extra for those export & sync features. ** Then the app would be perfect..NewtonswdcVersion: 1.2.11

✓ App very glitchy/buggyI just downloaded this app but straight away it’s problematic the biggest most serious problem being that it won’t let me turn the most important security feature on - every time I press the button to turn on passcode/biometric ID to access check-ins the app crashes when I reboot it the feature still hasn’t turned on. 2nd the app is not importing the health data it says it will import consistently.. it’s imported a couple of nights of sleep data but not last nights and it’s not importing exercise data, this despite me having switched on these features in settings. There is no way of contacting any app support either within the app or here in the app shop when you click dev support here it just takes you to a general Yale university website. If I can’t get the security or the health imports working properly I’ll be deleting it as without these features it’s not fit for purpose my phone is an iPhone XS running at least OS 16! now the technical problems are out the way I’ll turn to functionality of the app.. I find the high low energy bit difficult and also I find it doesn’t really represent feeling complexes - I rarely just experience 1 emotion at a time but rather a complex of emotions for example if I’m feeling angry there’s often another emotion underneath the anger so only being able to select anger doesn’t really allow me to express what’s really going on. I’ve been working on recognising my emotions and feeling my feelings for a number of years now in a therapy, I was hoping this was going to help with the recognition more but if it can’t express feeling complexes I’m not sure it will. I like the privacy in that it doesn’t export my data straight to servers but it’s not protecting my privacy against intrusion on my device..NikkinomadVersion: 1.2.6

✓ Loved it till it wouldn’t openI’ve been using this, past going thru the lessons, as a journal of sorts. Between the analysis of my settings, words I type, ramblings I spoke and pictures I uploaded it was a good way to gauge the previous week w my therapist. But one day, possibly after an iOS or other update, it stopped working. I will tap it and the little heart logo animation goes, screen goes black like it was loading my stuff and then the regular Home Screen pops up. So basically it won’t open. I tried to download the update but it has no working dl link. I offload the app and then tried to reinstall but it seems to go back to the version I had. This has been the case for about a month and definitely has screwed up my routine. I’m sure there are similar apps but I don’t wish to lose the journal entries and such. So when it works a 4 star app. But if you use it and it suddenly stops and holds your thoughts hostage it’s a 1 star app. Help?.SirnailheadVersion: 1.2.10

✓ Infuriating background music.Great app but, I deleted it because the background music whilst - people are talking - is extremely distracting. Wish there was an option to turn it off..MissMimsyVersion: 1.2.3

✓ I wanted to love this app - bugsI have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, made sure everything was updated, and followed general troubleshooting advice - checked internet connection etc. Every time I start over, I’m able to check in with a mood and add a location, activity, and who I’m with to the mood. After the first check in, I’m never able to add any insight beyond the mood. The screen goes black after selecting my mood every time. I can see that there’s an option to edit past check-ins but pressing the edit button leads me to a black screen that only prompts me to save without offering the option to edit anything. The app isn’t really going to help me if I don’t have the ability to add or edit any information on my checkins. I hope this is fixed. This app seems like it’s exactly what I’d need if there weren’t performance breaking bugs.JustalittlejellyboiVersion: 1.2.6

✓ All my info got deletedI love this app but all my info got deleted and ive emailed support to see if there’s anything i can do to get it back and have not gotten a reply..LucidjooiseVersion: 1.2.8

✓ Keep crashingI love your product! It’s keep crashing for the past few days, including the last release. There is no other way to contact you apart from reviews so giving 1 star to grab your attention. I don’t want to try reinstalling the app as my data is stored on the phone and will be lost. Please please fix the issue. I’ll change the review once it’s fixed..EstlutraVersion: 1.2.6

✓ My vocabulary is too bigSometimes I'm avoidant, bummed, spiraling, distracted, on edge, aroused, verklempt. (Not an exhaustive list.) But if I'm feeling any of those things and using this app, I can't accurately describe... how I feel. Which makes me feel frustrated. At least if I ever get "canceled" I have an entry for that 🙄 I disagree with the categorization of some of the emotions as "pleasant/unpleasant," such as fragile (should be unpleasant), astonished (it depends), and impassioned/passionate (again, it depends). I also feel like it's in general missing the ability to clearly represent singular emotions that are by definition not clearly one or the other, such as bittersweet. On a UX level, I didn't find it intuitive that emotions not listed on the grid would be available in search, and I didn't realize the plus allowed you to add a second emotion for a good week. I've also kept experiencing this one annoying thing with trying to enter emotions where as soon as I tap away from the search bar, it autocorrects, and so the first few letters of whatever I was searching for changes to something else, so I have to go back and type it in again..PsychicdaydreamsVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Doesn’t work on my iPadInteresting app, but only works on my iPhone. When I downloaded (a few seperate times) on my iPad, it crashes when trying to open..SmileyHylieVersion: 1.1.4

✓ Amazing, but GlitchyI love this app! It’s helped me greatly with managing my emotions and better regulating them. Contrary to other reviewers, I like how they break down emotions. It helps me see them as normal things that aren’t going to last forever. However, I have experienced some annoying glitches, much like other users. During the check-in, after I select my emotion, sometimes the details page will just go dark and I have no way to record anything other than my emotion. Sometimes it won’t, but after I add a note and click “done” the screen will turn dark again. A helpful strategy that I use is to add my note and fill in the rest of the details before I click “done” (that’s possible). The creators of this app haven’t responded to any complaints as far as I know, but I hope they fix things soon. Overall, the app is wonderful and has made a huge difference in my life..RobinmintteaVersion: 1.2.4

✓ Love and disappointmentI’m a practicing therapist and one of my clients introduced me to this app a few months ago. I downloaded and then “tested” it for myself before mentioning it to anyone. Since then, I have assigned it’s use as homework to every client I have, WITH AN IPHONE. All of my clients who have other phones are currently out of luck as it is not available to them. Such a disappointment! I, and those who are using it, LOVE, love, love! I am excited and grateful that my clients can practice checking in with themselves, become better at identifying their emotional cues and expand their emotion vocabulary! I joked with a friend, who is also a therapist, that it will be great to have clients report their feelings as something other than annoyed or stressed. My only criticism is I wish it was more widely available. To its creators: Please know that it is truly valuable for anyone and thank you for sharing!
