Spot Smile, brighten your day
This Spot Smile app is based on cognitive bias modification (CBM), a new technique that aims to alter harmful thought patterns. By focusing on smile images, it can subtly re-train your brain to shift attention away from nasty images and towards more pleasant images. A growing body of research shows that shifting negative biases is surprisingly easy and has effects on how well people cope in a stressful situation.
It is suggested to play this game at least once a day, you may do it while commuting.

A lovely simple app to practice shifting cognitive biases towards the positive. In future versions I would like to be able to remove the stock images and change whether they are positive or negative.
Excellent for helping you start the day with a great mood.
It's a lot of fun and easy to use
Great little app. I use it every day.
Much as I expected, good to see progress. Just
It is ok Do it every day for happiness

Trying to see if it helps
Thank you for this free app.
Does seem to improve one's psychological wellbeing. I hope they keep adding more faces as time goes on. Adding your own pictures seems counter intuitive as you would pick them far too readily.
Enjoy this app on the whole. Hard to say how much it helps my mood, but it is easy to do and keeps me entertained. However, there are definitely some things that could be improved. I am unable to save my own pictures into the gallery, despite trying repeatedly. I feel it needs a lot more faces, as after a while you just learn them all, rather than specifically search for smiles. Also a lot more variety in the faces would be good, as currently the majority of photos seem to be young white women with long hair! Despite falling into most of that category myself, I do find this slightly irritating. Would also be good to have initial score and top score to see full progress.
To get top line on graph to work just tap on one of the bars on bar graph. Interesting to observe performance at different times of day. Seem to do best when I feel worst - silver lining stuff...
I like it but my top graph doesn't work, it's just stuck on zero everyday.
Love using this. Im not sure if its supposed to but it lifts my mood instantly. Great app. More photos needed.
Too many times you have to re-tap a pic for it to register.
It's not fancy but it does its job. Keeps getting better with every update. Needs more faces and could have a nicer UI but it's still the best CBM app on the market.
The functionality is perfect. The design could be improved, but isn't bothering at all. Great app.
I really like that I can add faces from my gallery.
All good nice and simple. Needs more pictures. I hope it works. 😊
I like the customization features
Would like the quotes to be more often
Does what it says and provides faces. Does it help alter cognitive bias?
It's helped my anxiety
Won't save my pictures.
Like the app but it doesn't record your daily score
I really love this app....
It this the app the guy on yes theory made in the switching lives with a stranger video?
I found this after Dr Mosley suggested looking for this type of activity to combat mood & thus hopefully improve my insomnia. I have only just started, but it seems to help me focus, and to blot out some worries. Like others here I think it needs quite a few more faces, & I agree that putting own choice in seems counterintuitive. It is easy to do, & short so it encourages me to build the action in several times a day. Need bit more time to consider higher rating Will return!
