Love the so, it's great for checking in with family! I know a lot of hard work went into the latest update, but it is less useful than the older version. When I press and hold to update sleep or exercise, I can't see the numbers under my finger. And the workout scale is way off.. no one is going to put they worked out for 6 hours 😂. Lastly, the language in the"what's making you feel X" doesn't match the prompts, so it feels disjointed. It's a very pretty update, but not as functional.
Reviews for How We Feel
← Back to How We FeelI love this app. My entire family has installed it, as well as my co-parent and roommate. It's a great way for people who don't have a large emotional lexicon to expand, a way for kids to identify emotions, and a reminder for the rest of us to just check in with ourselves. One thing I would love to see- Can we please add the option to change the font color? I always add a photo of what I'm doing in the moment I'm tracking my feelings, and often it means the text isn't visible. Please add?
Love this app! Helps me practice emotional intelligence and check in with friends. I've gotten some of my friends and partner on it and it's a great way to see in real time how they are. Only thing is I wish you could choose to share the entire thing with some friends and just the emotion for others, instead off all or nothing. Overall it's a great app though!
I LOVE THIS APP. I have legitimately learned how to increase my resistance and emotional intelligence from using it. I am constantly recommending it to people. My only complaint is that they could add some more feelings to select from. There's 144 in the main menu they show you and more you can search for, yet there's still times when I think of one that I can't find in the app. At least we should be able to add custom ones. There's enough options for 5 stars, though!
Awesome app. And for once it's not subscription based but free! Wow! This has quickly become my favorite new routine. Logging how I feel, sync with health apps to understand what could influence my feelings and perhaps one day also sharing them with a friend via the app. It's easy to understand, give me bite sized videos about my current emotion and cute tools to explore when I have the time. Beautiful and easy to understand. Wow, keep up the great work!
I just got this app today and I already love it. It's completely free and there aren't any ads. There are so many different moods/emotions and you can add exercise, sleep, and the weather and you can write why you feel that way or what's happening right now that would make you feel that way. There are analytics too which is really helpful to see your growth and also tips and help for any feeling you're having. This is an amazing app and I highly recommend! Keep up the good work!
App is great. I especially love the "learn" section. But I wish I could see the individual daily entries somewhere with all the details, the emotion and the note and sleep details etc. There's no way to look at them again after you enter them. You can see trends for the week/month, why can't you view by day on that same page and see the actual entries?
I've recently found this app and have been using it in conjuction with my therapy. I really appreciate the lack of in app purchases, and they don't bombard me with ads. Just these details make it much more usable. I've learned so much about myself and my habits through the analysis. Tracking feelings regularly has helped with personal regulation as well. There has only been once or twice that a word is not featured that I would've preferred to use. My emotional lexicon is expanding!
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a client of mine said she was using this app, so I decided to check it out for myself. Since then, I've been using it daily and telling all of my clients about it! I love that it's founded in psychology, backed by research, easy to use, easy to follow even for neurodivergent brains, extremely helpful even to a trained mental health professional and it can help my clients make more progress between sessions! I can't say enough about the How We Feel app!
EDIT: I've been using this app for about 2 months and I JUST NOW found out there ARE MORE EMOTIONS THAN JUST THE GRID!!! I thought the grid that shows up was all the app had, 36 for each quadrant. There are actually almost 60 per category?! I wish this was made more clear! It's very difficult to identify the emotions I'm feeling in the moment beyond good or bad. I've been limiting the description of how I feel bc I didn't know there was way more options to pick from! Pls improve this 🙏
To start with, thank you. My friends and I use this app all the time and we absolutely love it. It's helped many of us learn how to identify our feelings and keep each other updated. We've discussed that we wish there were more physical options like "sick" or "headache" or "overstimulated". We've just been using "uncomfortable" and using tags for physical issues to track. We were wondering if the dev team has considered a custom emotion option for when the words provided just don't seem to fit🩷
Love the app, particularly the (optional) social feature. However, I just realized there are many more emotions available than what is shown on the grid. Some of the hidden emotions are ones that I resonate more with than the default options — it would be great if there was some way to customize the grid by swapping out hidden options for default ones, or otherwise "favoriting" hidden ones so they can be accessed quickly from the grid.
It's great! I love having data points to track trends with. One thing that would make it better: some sort of feature that would help folks like me that suspect they have alexithymia. The grid is useful, but I can't always figure it out beyond picking a square, and I don't just mean verbalizing it. In the meantime I've added another app that aims at helping with that.
Well designed, free, and absolutely no bs. Its what it says on the tin and is exactly what I wanted and a bit more. The self-analysis with organized data is especially helpful. Sometimes the emotions can be a little constraining, there's no 'other' function, but it allows me to try and figure out for myself the closest equivalent. 10/10, will donate to the project. May even try and see if I can join up on the project side as well, who knows.
This has been great for understanding my emotions so far. I really like all the details you can add to each entry, but there is a problem. After certain time, maybe 2 days, a no. of entries' photos disappear. When I go back to edit the entry I find a big null space where the photo's supposed to be. When I tap on it, it gives me two options as if the photo were still there, "Remove" and "Replace". The photos are important visual representations for me and they help me remember the moment.
Wow! This is like the best app for tracking your moods or if u want it to be a mini journal. Every update the app keeps getting better like fr. Two feature request tho. In the breathing feature, I think it would be great if there's a sound feedback on when to inhale, hold, or exhale—Just like in the Samsung Health app + I hope we can insert more pictures at each check in the future.
I love this app very much, it has helped me vent less to others, and doomscroll less. I'm much more mindful of how I'm feeling and what to do with my emotions. You should add a 'Neutral' emotion. One thing that's a bit upsetting is that you can't save your data to the cloud, and the terms of service say the app could randomly take away your access to data at any time, meaning I could lose my data out of nowhere or if I lose my phone. Overall, though, great and useful app. I recommend the widget!
It was suggested that I use a mood tracker from my psychologist. Been using HWF for about a week now and I like it. NO ads, simple interface, really good tracking and reporting of my input, and it's easy to to input at convenient times for my schedule, I don't have to use it as things come up in the heat of the moment. Leaning towards 5 stars, but want to use it for longer to get a better perspective first.
I really like this app. I like the breadth of emotions readily available to choose from, as opposed to something like Daylio where I have to come up with all of the emotions (and must pay to have more than 5 default). However I wish there were a "neutral" mood category. Also I think the analysis tab should have more charts available, and maybe have them all use a percentage format instead of some having the weird disc-bar graph thing. Not useful. Some of the analyses aren't useful at all either
Great app in general. Lovely interface, readily understandable analytics, and great for keeping track of your emotions when you're going through something or learning what causes you to feel. One thing I would suggest is the limit on the number of emotions you can pick per check-in, which irks me as a quite emotional person; I'd like it to be at least 3, but the ideal option would be 4 or 5. I would also like the cycle tracking and physical sensation options to be available on my current device.
