How We Feel

GET RID OF THE AI!!!!! i loved this app so much. i used it a lot and it genuinely helped me. they added ai features and that is so so disappointing. ai has NO place in mental health. this app already has so much going for it. adding ai features isn’t going to make it any more liked or downloaded and it isn’t going to make it anymore helpful. the only redeeming part is that you have the option to turn it off. ai is not a mental health professional. it should NOT be analyzing my feelings and writings and giving some uneducated, flat, surface level opinions on why i think i feel the way i do. the app says “ai is not a replacement for a licensed professional” it should stay that way. no matter how you look at it, that’s the only way it can been seen. it’s not a “tool” to help you figure out your emotions, that’s what a therapist is for. adding ai will only make people’s issues worse. i give it two stars because i used to be very attached to this app, but i unfortunately cannot see the value in continuing to use something that blatantly does not care about its users.

Amazing, life changing app I have never written a review for an app, but this one truly deserves it. I wasn’t expecting much after it was recommended by my therapist. I’ve used apps that are supposedly designed to help you understand your emotions, and they all seem like money grabs that give you baseline or surface level insight. however, this app is truly a gem. there seems to be a genuine interest from the creators to want to help people overcome their feelings and sentiments. the video resources are a fabulous tool, and I deeply appreciate how there are so many words to describe how one is feeling, whether it be good, bad or indifferent. so many other features that you simply must download to play with/explore. definitely a go to if you want to pour into yourself in the form of emotion regulation and understanding.

LOVE THIS APP! I wanted to use the app for a few weeks before leaving a review. I’ve been consistently logging my emotions twice a day for the last month, and I have to say that I am really impressed and have fallen in love with this app; it’s visually amazing, the simplicity of using it , the resources that are available and the fact that it is free is incredible, especially during a time when mental health issues are on the rise. I love the short educational videos that pop up. They’re really informative and enlightening. I’ve also sat for hours reading the descriptions of emotions. It’s easy to “clump” emotions into common go to words like “angry”, “happy” and “sad” when it’s really a combo of other less spoken of emotions. I hope that I can become a consistent small donor to help support the ongoing development of this app to help it remain free.

LOVE LOVE LOVE, but no watch app😩 I cannot praise this app enough. Truly. And if you are someone who can quickly pull out your phone to log emotions and their context, then i imagine it’s legitimately perfect at what it does. Problem: I can’t quickly pull my phone out for this and trust myself to put it away when I’m done. I was the same way with cycle tracking until I got my Apple Watch and now I track my cycle consistently because of ease of access. Developers, I know this app is something you offer free of charge and thus it must be difficult to make major moves like developing an Apple Watch version of it. That said, if you can find a way to both fund it and put it together, it would be a major help to people like me :) thanks!

My Anxiety, PTSD, Fears, and Depression are now more manageable due to this app! This app has majorly assisted in my mental wellbeing by helping me tune into my logical side of my brain whenever I am severely overwhelmed with emotions (good OR bad) and has helped me think and avoid making rash decisions based on strong emotions. It is easy to use, and easy to make it more personable. All in all, this app is going to help me regain a sense of balance again over the long term, and i showed it to my therapist and she LOVES it. I recommend it to everyone I can, whether or not they are diagnosed with anything or going to therapy. (I am recovering from severe ptsd and other mental health complications with the help of therapy and medication as well as this app. This app helps me WORK on goals outside of therapy and reminds me to be more self aware.)

Love this app! I have one ask… I absolutely love using this app and it’s been very helpful for me to understand my own emotions. My therapist recommended it. I have one ask for the developers, if possible… sometimes, after writing out a journal entry and filling out my emotions and such, I accidentally push the back button instead of the “complete check in” button. I do not know why I do this but I was hoping you could make it where it saves what you wrote and input until backing up again, just in case you accidentally hit the back arrow? It would be really helpful because I am constantly deleting everything I wrote which is so frustrating and I end up just closing out the app in anger. This is 100% a me problem but it would be great to have the inputs saved there for idiots like me.

Great app but i’ve lost my data twice now. This is a great app. The very wide range of emotions to track makes it very easy to reflect on what you’re feeling. The tools are helpful aswell. Breathing techniques, mindfulness, stretching, etc. The only problem I have is that I was using the app w/o an account for so long and one day I went in and everything was gone. I would’ve appreciated a consistent prompt in app or something to create an account to avoid that. The 2nd time I was in the Files app (that comes w/ the iPhone) and I deleted something that was in a folder for the app. Unaware that it would cause a change in the How we feel app. There needs to be a way for the data to be completely secure in the app alone. External factors should not affect the app. This all together led to its deletion because I cannot risk everything I’ve tracked to be deleted for the third time.

I like this app, it helps me with keeping track of my mental health. If you have any mental health issues like me this app is for you. What I love about this app is you can pick four colors, red - high energy: unpleasant, yellow- high energy: pleasant, blue -low energy: unpleasant and green - low energy: pleasant. Then with the color you choose you pick a word that the color coordinates with. You can add a journal entry than you can what you were doing during that day, who were you with and where you were. You can also can add and edit the things you doing, who you were with and the places you were in. The part of the app I love most is that you can add physical sensations. So its a 3D scan/picture of a body and you can put where you have a physical sensation from your head to your toes. You can turn the 3D person around and put a physical sensation in the back of your body which I love that feature. I love that feature because not only do I have mental heath issues, I also have some physical health issues. So to keep track of the places my body has and physical feeling I can keep track of incase I need it when I go to the doctors and don’t always remember when and where the pain was. What I also like about the app is that they tools to help you when you need help to calm yourself. You can add a journal entry with you can type, voice record and use your camera pictures. And you can also add what the weather was, how you slept, how long did you exercise, how many steps you have taken, how long did you meditated, how was your period cycle, water intake and caffeine intake. The only problem I have with this app is that if I miss a day or more I can not track it if I remember how I felt the day/days before. But that is a small problem that is not as important as the other features on this app.

Sincerely excellent I have never ever written a review nor recommended an app to friends and family. My partner listened to a podcast on Modern Wisdom where the creator of this podcast was being interviewed and he was so enthusiastic that I was genuinely intrigued. I’ve been practicing meditation and tai chi for 15 years and this I can say is truly brilliant. My therapist now uses this app. It’s so helpful to grow an emotional intelligence and awareness. The lessons and the tools are so well done and wonderfully helpful to both a newly introduced and well seasoned mindfulness practitioner. It’s technologies like these that give me hope that the world is going in a positive direction of peace, presence, and compassion. Don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself and see if it benefits your life, and do share if you find it may be of service to others on their path.
