WHEN DO I NEED A MOOD DIARY?
Mood diary is a tool frequently offered by psychologists and therapists to help us discover facts about ourselves that otherwise slip our attention.

You may have stressful job, like manager reporting to executives or customer facing specialist, which makes you feel exhausted at the end of your long day. You may be on emotional rollercoaster as your partner is making your heart tear apart. Or you may simply be curious to know yourself better. This app may help! Bring your iMoodJournal to your therapist or discuss it with your close friend to maximize its positive impact on your life.
* To get the best out of this app, please, keep regular records (preferably 2 – 3 times a day) of your mood with tags and self-portraits for at least 1 – 2 weeks.

This is ALMOST perfect. I love how I can set reminders throughout the day, because I forget keep up with mood journals most of the time. Overall, I really like the setup and interface. Definitely worth the purchase. The only problem I've experienced is that sometimes, if I accidentally touch near the back or done buttons, it'll save the unfinished portion, and I can't figure out how to edit it. I'm not even sure if there is an edit feature? That's the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars
Used it for 4 years and it used to be great. Then I got a new phone and 1) the Backup Restore feature no longer worked and 2) notifications still made an audible sound even when set to "Silent" in the app. I contacted support, but haven't heard anything for two weeks - the app seems abandoned, which is a pity because it did used to do exactly what I wanted.
Love the simplicity and it lets me see patterns. I removed the labels to make it easier to go on 'gut feel'. I also set the colors to go from dark brown, lightbrown/yellow in the middle, to green at the top. To the devs, is there any way to clear old data (but keep recent history)? I took a year break and want to delete all my old history so I can see recent trends.
I have tried many of these apps, and this is the best one. It gives me freedom to write significant feedback, or I can concisely choose a short label if time is running short. My only complaint is that when choosing a mood, the colors don't make sense. Red and orange signify danger, yet those colors represent happy emotions.
I've been using this app for about 2 months or so now and I really like it. However , there is some kind of bug happening right now; the app is not uploading new pictures for my entries, it replaced the selfie I took with a shot from 4 or 5 days ago. I've had the same picture log for the last 4-5 days, and that aspect is one of the reasons I love it so much. Now it seems to be useless. I've tried contacting for support via the website with no reply. Thanks!
I have had this app for over a month now, and I love it. I have it set to ask me my mood at random times during the day or I enter when I feel it should be logged. I can make a short diary entry with tags. Each mood is on a scale of 1-10 and you can customize the names and colors of the moods. You get 3 scatter charts and your tags become bar charts. Proper tagging is important, but fast & easy. I just wish the time chart was by hour not 3 hours, it would be easier to read.
Really useful. I got this for its random notifications to get a more representative sample of my mood. But it's a bit finicky to set up. You need to go to Reminders in Settings, select a reminder, check "Repeating" and then the random option will appear. I think the random option needs to be more visible.
It's too easy to lose my data. I've used the app for several months but barely have a week's worth of data because changes I made to my phone. I also lost a bunch of data before I realized I had to rename older files. Automatic/cloud backup would make this a 5-star app.
This is a great app! It's user friendly and works as it should. I like that you can choose your own colors for each mood and that you get a chart to see your mood over months and years. It has been really helpful for me! I've had it for two years and I only had to pay 20 SEK for it, which is a very small price for something that works this well.
A great app that's super helpful. However, I do wish clicking a previously used hashtag would work to fill it in so you can move to the next one. Currently if I try to do this it autofills but as soon as I start typing it removes the previous autofilled text.
I bought this app instead of getting a free one because it says it has the option for random reminders, but I don't see that option. Disappointed bc random entries would control for the effect of time-of-day.
I was looking for something simple that would let me rate my mood as many times per day as I wanted and this is it. So many apps give you one chance per 24hr period to rate your mood for the Whole day and then demand that you write about it. You can write about how you feel on this app but you don't have to, which actually makes me more likely to do it. Plus you can customize the mood descriptions and the colours. No offense but the colours it come with are gross.😂
This app is missing several features listed on the app's website. Where's our calendar view, our templates, and charts setting? I bought the app in part for those features, so I'm disappointed that they aren't in the android version.
Best mood tracker I've ever used. I love the hashtag system and the graphs that let you see how your mood changes over time. I've been using this app for over five years at this point and it's done wonders for my emotional awareness and self care.
A friend turned me on to this app during a particularly tumultuous period. She thought it might be helpful for me to get a new perspective on how I was handling things, especially once I'd been using it long enough to collect sufficient data. She was right.
Everything I need to successfully chart emotional/mental fluctuations. Easy to use, intuitive, with helpful features.
Love this app. great for bipolar, quick and informative customer service. Very much well worth the $ - old mood charts can be transferred manually.
I dont take selfies, but I find it really handy on this app. I like that I can be as brief or as lengthy as I need. Will be interesting to see if this helps me down the line to be able to look back on this data.
No aftersales support, no password reset option. I asked for support to reset my password weeks ago through email. Haven't heard a thing. There should be a password reset feature.
This app may have saved my life? It has definitely allowed me to finally see my thoughts from a different, much healthier perspective. A must have for those who want to change/fix how they internalize experiences.
It does it's main job amazingly well: allowing to capture moods (on a 1-10 scale w/ customizable levels+colors). The export feature is much appreciated. I think the "summary" screen could use a way to read back the dates (i.e. tap a point in the diagram, get the x-value). Also, the "history" should start default to the right-most scroll position.
