How We Feel

I love this!!!

Recent update (the one introducing physical sensations) made the app laggy and feel bloated, and the 'share with friends on whatsapp' is extremely unwelcome. All my hundreds of entries were cleared as well, and can only be found by looking at the stats. This used to be an app I whole heartedly recommended.

pretty good. I like it ☺️ it's really helpful. I wish there was a scale like pixy uses though? anyways it's probably just me personally. thank you for such a great app! UPDATE: I found the quick logger. that's what I needed. really nice to be able to just pop one in and go :) I love the app 🥺✨ ty devs

Easy to use & understand. They will offer help for free in app in needed

Fantastic app. I have 129-day streak going since I started using it. I love it. I love that it's free with no ads. I was going to donate, but can't figure out where to do so.

TBH, the updated interface is simply AWFUL. The previous UI was so much nicer, so much more convenient and logical. For example, now I've struggled to find my weekly reviews on the main page and even though I found it (before it was visible right away as soon as it was available), I can't find how to access previous ones... Really, just reverting to the previous UI would be an awesome improvement 😕

this is literally a 10/10 app, thank youu

This is by far my favorite mental health app, it is completely free with no in-app purchases, it's easy to use and I actually notice a difference in myself when I make my entries! I wish I could give more than 5 stars because the creator of this app is literally a life saver ;

I kinda hate the new update. i miss the weekly report. that's what I look up to every week. and I just don't like the app interface now. everything is messy. I liked it before where you can see your past check ins easily.

I liked more the interface that was before. This one is a little anoying because of the order of each function. the other interface was detailed and very intuitive. and when i am refering to "interface" i mean to the ability to introspect to the past data that gets stored(like in days,weeks,months etc.) Thank god the interface of noting the emotions from the beggining to the end remained the same with an amazing update from you with the body sensations(🫡). Make it back! Thanks.

easy and simple to use. doesn't get overwhelming at all as someone with mental health issues. also I very much appreciate the lack of ads. thank you!!

I use the app every day, throughout thr day to track my emotions. I was recently diagnosed with BPD and How We Feel has honestly made a difference in recognizing my patterns. And the random check ins were always appreciated and Id often check in randomly on my own. Id recommended this app to anoyone looking to track and manage their emotions.

Incredible that this STILL doesn't have any in app purchases. I use it every day and I love having friends added on here

I just love this app.

I was using the app multiple times a day and then abruptly stopped around the time they made their last update and changed the language in notifications. Recieving a different notification than my normal reminder jolted me. Consistency is likely really important to other people who find value in this helpful free app. I've come and gone before so I'll probably come back to using it again in the future. 🖖

Recent changes have made it near impossible to determine how many times I felt a specific emotion in a month. This was my primary use case.

Honestly, I was looking for a simple mood tracker, so I'm really surprised by how complete this app is. Been using it for 3 days and I already feel more aware of my feelings in general. Congratulations on the project, and I hope it's available in my language soon enough so I can share it with everyone I know.

deeevvv please fix the emotions among friends syncing please deeevvv j love the app bjt slmetimes the sync of emotionsbetween friends are out of sync for dayyys deeevv

the best life changing

chill is NOT that shape. also what colour do i put the feeling of being so happy that it's exhausting. also please add the option to remove "the effects of boredom" when you choose bored I've heard that 9999 times from my dad and i do not want to hear this ever again

ios prioritization. developers prioritize coding the app for ios. doesnt properly run on android. makes and releases new features for ios only leaves android users with bare bones version of app. if you see any extra features of this app advertized it will only be for the ios.

I love it a lot. Not only it helps you record your emotions in a very detailed way (not just sad or happy), you can also record your physical conditions and monthly cycle. There are tips on how to deal with each emotions and i found some to be helpful. Maybe it'd also be great if we can track menstrual cycle automatically based on our records. Overall, it has everything I need so it's perfect.

never found journaling with pen and paper to really work for me, but having daily check ins with myself has been amazing at helping me be more in touch with my own mental state. the app is so smooth and easy to use, and is adaptive with resources based on your current mood an amazing mental health support!

Love the layout and the easy navigation of the app. Love that it describes different emotions and gives an easy pick option into those as someone who struggles to identify emotions. One thing I would like to suggest is making an option for 3rd shifters. Whenever I try to update sleep it's a little weird since I sleep during the day.

Just the fact you aren't trying to milk people with a subscription like all the other mood apps means you deserve 100 stars. My only issue that made me sad is that I had over a 400 day streak that got wiped out by the last big update

Please bring back the old version. It was neat, easy to navigate. It made sense. The new version feels haphazardly arranged. The most used features are now in corners. They used to be on front and easily accessible.

Me parece increíble que una app tan completa sea gratuita. Gracias por crearla y compartirla con el mundo

I just discovered a new thing in the HWF app - it keeps all the takeaways in one place! I can just go there to remember and then it's linked to that day so I can easily return there too. This is a great app with lots of things in it that I'm uncovering with use. 🫂❤️ I found this app because I needed to work on identifying and feeling my emotions for my work role (in process of becoming a future chaplain educator and now currently working as a board certified hospital chaplain supervisor)..

THIS APP IS AWESOME!!! I've always had some terrible mood swings, so being able to log them can help regulate me and recognize my emotions at times. The one thing keeping this app from being perfect for me personally is perhaps having GIF support with attachments (and maybe some simple markdown), but that doesn't stop this app from being incredibly solid all around.

latest major update (re)moved the most important button: (it's now in the bottom right) PLEASE FIX... may write another e-mail if that helps, desperately —I use HowWeFeel daily on good days and as often as I can on days that are... tough. The quality of the guided breathing and meditation and reflection exercises are outstanding! I convinced my Partner to download the app as well and - in the weeks they are also on the app - they often choose to share their everyday/mundane feelings with me.

what a clean, simple resource. no ads no clutter. just a little something to help know what you are feeling

it works well and gives a fairly good range of feeling, I just wish there was an option to document multiple feelings at the same time and then write a journal entry about those feelings in place. It's probably good for people who just need help identifying feelings in someway, but it would be better if it explained that feelings can be difficult to identify because there is often more than one happening at a time.

I recommend this app to a lot of people! To be honest, hardly use it at all these days... but that says more about my ability to keep habits up than anything else. As someone who can struggle to work out what I'm feeling in many moments, it's really helped increase my vocabulary of feelings. I go back to it in moments when I'm struggling and don't know exactly why. Because I'm doing pretty well in life right now, I have found myself using it less but that's just how it fits into my own needs.

Show recently selected feelings during check-in.

loved the app, used it for a couple years to track mood n such. it was devastating when one of the updates removed all my data and my backup didn't work. if you get the app, make sure your backup works. 😔

This app has a lot of features for free. It's not bugging me about any subscriptions. No feature limit paywalls. It's almost TOO much going on. I have very few complaints about this app. I'm going to keep using it and see how much I like it over time.

the new update sucks. the old visual layout was so much better. I've been debating deleting this thing since the latest update. everything's more complicated than it needed to be now. why change how it works? why move everything around and make basic features of the app harder to access? isn't this supposed to be some kind of therapeutic tool? do you realize people in rough mental states will find comfort in the reliability of the sameness of this app? i certainly did.

App was really good before, and very helpful to me, but the newest update is honestly just awful. The AI features in your face are unnecessary, the new UI is much less intuitive and simple to use, and as far as I can tell the seasonal snapshots (which I very much used and valued) are just straight up gone. I'd love if some features such as snapshots were restored or if the UI was just tweaked back a bit.

No ads or premium subscription, this is what makes it a five star to me and the quality is unmatched, I would definitely donate (as soon as I have money to spare)

it used to be a 5/5, but recent UI changes added unnecessary animations and features that I never use. give me back the clean, simple reporting please!

Замечательное, детализированное приложение с интересными функциями и необычным видом. Мне очень понравилась используемая идея выбора настроения, реализована красиво и наглядно. Отдельное спасибо поддержке, которая быстро и подробно ответила мне, когда я затруднялась найти искомую функцию приложения!

It's very straightforward and visually appealing. It's simple and easy to use that it makes you want to open the app and track how your mental health is doing. For people who need a quicker journal type app.

the new update takes away some of my favorite features. total number of emotions felt and actual total of emotions in each quadent. can we get those back somehow?

After reading Dealing with Feeling, I downloaded this app and it really helps make the advice in the book tangible and actionable. I think this will be very valuable for me to learn these skills and it doesn't feel like a dependency. I can see myself using this app to learn (like training wheels). Maybe I use it long term, maybe not. Either way, it is valuable for me.

I think it would be nice if we can add more than one image. Good app for some light journaling alongside emotional regulation.

pretty, but useless.

Thank you for the recent UI update, it was much needed as the old one was outdated and kind of buggy. I like that the new UI allows you to see all tags too when visualizing emotion data.

the new UI update is pretty bad

I love the app but after I recently updated it, all check-ins are gone! why? can u help me with this??

Trying my best to appreciate what is, but this layout and format doesn't feel good or intuitive for me. I'm just reading through a sea of vaguely similar emotions that aren't organized locally too. Appreciate it being free and the goal/plan.

I loved this app, very intuitive and great to use until the new update. I really dislike the new update, please change it back! It doesn't make sense anymore.

This is an amazing app for tracking emotional states and identifying patterns of behavior. Very thankful it's free and super easy to use however the layout has changed which has made the app less aesthetically pleasing compared to before.

Useful tool for documenting emotions/events with some coping suggestions built-in, but be aware that this has AI features. *They were optional, but an update made them more prominent.* Leaves me feeling uneasy because the app is free so they must be selling us somehow. I have zero respect for AI, and personally believe it has absolutely no place in mental health. I wouldn't bother creating an account even for cloud access because data breaches are a thing. Thankfully can export your data as CSV.

please get rid of the ai.

I really like this app and the features it offers, but I strongly dislike the new layout. I liked the way I could just scroll down to see all my old check-ins without having to hunt for them (and I don't like prioritizing "Emotions 101" over my check ins). I kind of understand the switch but am not a fan so far and wish I could toggle back to the old layout.

love the app!! I just wanted to say that there's a language bug when I select "Go Deeper". the suggestion it gives me is in Spanish instead of my native language (English) :) great experience overall though!

love the new update

It Just Makes Sense! This app is amazing, I've shared it with all my friends. A low effort way to stay connected even when everyone is on different schedules and incomes. I have friends across the country and across the world. It just works so well! No pressure to perform and things can be private if you want. Its like a private social media with just my friends. 10/10. No notes. Phenomenal job. Definitely worth donating to when I have the extra cash❤️

I remember using this app sometime ago. it was a truly amazing experience. I like the overall design and how easy it is to use it.

One of the best apps in the world! I have alexithymia, i.e. 'emotional blindness'. Yet, there's no doubt: HWF taught me how to feel! Just three years ago, I wasn't able to name a single feeling when asked how I felt. Now, over the course of 550 days with at least 1 check-in per day, I tracked over 225 unique(!) feelings. My life and EVERY relationship has improved SOO much, ever since I'm able to make sense of the sensations inside me. Thank you so much, dear HWF team! You're amazing! 🫶🏼

thank you for making this free

love it!

I don't have any experience with this app! Since the beginning of 2026, my own feelings and getting only a bad experience, in my own life is unstoppable. I don't know what more to say, it is true and it's not a nice feeling ,life... Sorry for sharing my personal expression...All the best wishes for all users ,I hope that All You're Feeling Greeeeeaat!

This app has been amazingly helpful to me, especially as someone in early addiction recovery. The tracking and analyzing tools have given me great insight into patterns and overall awareness of my day to day feelings. The informational videos are also short and concise that I are quite helpful. Finally, the sharing feature with others has been a useful tool to open up conversation about how we might feel at a given time. I highly recommend this app for those looking to improve on their wellness

I cannot believe such an amazing app is for free, it's a must have app for everyone I think, it is soo good. Everything works well, and it has a real impact on my life. After identifying my emotions I feel I am not only more aware, but also more inclined to take care of myself. I love the tools the app provides and having the possibility to show precisely the emotion in the body. It's just perfect! I'm so greatful please keep on the good work, the society needs this!

this is by far the best mood tracker I've used. it's super easy to identify exactly what I'm feeling and the data view is very useful in noticing patterns. I also love that you can include menstrual cycle info with it

The guided questions certainly help me draft a better note than what i can produce by free writing

I think this has transformed the way I work; I'm now much more mindful of how I'm feeling and what I can do to adjust how I feel to accomplish the objectives I want. highly recommend for everyone

Genuinely a wonderful app. Logging emotions is easy and intuitive, you can add two emotions (wish for 3 or 4, but 2 is a good start), add any physical sensations, write further about how you feel, attach voice memos and photos, log your cycle, alcohol intake, caffeine intake, the weather, and tones of stuff, all to get further insight on your emotions. there's breathing exercises and stuff as well that are useful. there's ai features, but you can turn them off! i very much recommend this app!

Any chance you can add a location on this so I know where I am when doing entries

really helpful. I recommend it to all my friends. the only thing I don't like is that you can't restore your data. I was crocheting an emotions afghan with the colors of my check-ins throughout the year, but my phone broke and my new one doesn't have the log I was using. So my blanket has come to a premature end :( other than that this app slaps. the emotions list is by far more comprehensive than any other check-in app feature I've ever seen, and it's really useful.

Grand tool to identify my emotions faster: lessens alexithymia-induced hypervigilance. My amygdala is thankful as it hands over the label to my prefrontal cortex!! I often sense several emotions at once, so it could do with the option of checking-in 2 or 3 for accuracy. Also, some emotions like "alone" can be pleasant or unpleasant, depending on the context. "Alone" as "unpleasant" doesn't reflect my reality. I can feel chilled BECAUSE I'm finally alone: most pleasant X)

My RO-DBT group therapist suggested this app and it is just...SO good. I really like that it leverages AI to generate prompts for reflection based on your emotions and will actually provide additional prompts based on what you wrote if you want even deeper engagement. Also, I'd be very willing to pay for a subscription, but these guys only want donations and nothing is gated behind pay walls. THERE AREN'T EVEN ADS. Absolute mad lads right here. 11/10 HIGHLY recommend.

gold standard for daily check in 200/100

functions as my daily diary! All the features are mostly free and it's super helpful. It's been relaxing knowing how I feel about a day and writing a message or description on why I thought about that!

I owe a lot to this app, genuinely amazing

it's so good please don't ruin it with ai, I beg you DO NOT RUIN THE APP WITH AI

How we feel is this app deserves 1 star unfortunately. Mainly unsure what the point of it is as it doesn't offer anything helpful. at best it's a journal but it seems to offer no insight or help even if picking negative feelings. Feels like a big nothing burger to me. I would honestly use DeepSeek over this.

Absolutely love this app. I've tried a few other mood trackers but this one is definitely my favorite. Check-ins are quick and easy, but also detailed enough to pick up on patterns. You can also track caffeine and alcohol, then sort your moods by the amount of each. For example I've learned that I tend to be in the best mood when I have less than 100mg caffeine. I also really love that you can map out physical sensations with each check-in, which has helped with mindfulness related to anxiety.

lovely 🌹

absolutely love this app! though I wish you could add more emotions than just two. two makes me feel limited and I feel multiple things! please add it so you can add more than one emotion! this app is amazing, recommended 9/10!!!

Very useful, it has elaborate functions that is exactly what you need.

very helpful mood lifting

The app is truly a gift for lifetime which is absolutely free and ad-free. This app has been teaching me a lot in taking steps towards a better human well-being. Love the app and I'll be indebted to the developers and ideologists for forever. Please encourage these apps.

incredible app !!

I feel like it could have more mechanics to help describe how you feel, or help improve your mood. It's nice, just not my favorite

Thank you for making this application, I am very grateful. moreover, this is free.

Excellent, private, diary for your emotional wellbeing. However there is a bug in navigation. In Android, when you Analyse and go back to a past check in, and then want to navigate to the previous or later checks ins around that time, the app redirects you to today. For example, if I want to see how I was feeling last year, I go to one day, and then if I go back to check the next day, it redirects to the present week. This could be fixed if it navigated back to the same week/month in the past.

it's good for tracking my mood, but fails to import data from the health app. I want to compare my sleep to my moods, but I have to manually enter that information. All the settings to import that data are turned on, but the feature doesn't work

don't usually put reviews but this app is so great adfree and premium experience almost feels illegal to use the app so good. even paid apps aren't as good as this one

As someone with alexithymia, I really love that this app helps you define the spectrum of emotions. I reinstalled it recently and the new feature where you can ID your physical sensations is a great idea. However, most of the time, when trying to select the button to add a sensation, it won't open. This happens when trying to add it after saving, too.

So far so good. its a very pretty app and it has been helpful. The widget makes it easier for me to check in

Good app. Really forces you to reflect on your mood and what might be causing it. Helps you connect with yourself amidst an overwhelming routine.

An excellent app that humanity needs the most. Thank you Marc Brackett

Could you please fix sign up? It's broken for me. I'll update my rating afterwards

This app has been amazing so far. I needed something like my whole life. I really struggle to identify my emotions, and this helps me when I need to check in with myself. Sometimes I dont really feel any particular emotion though, and I kinda wish there was a "neutral" option for that

I LOVE IT GRATITUDE GRATITUDE GRATITUDE

It is so helpful 💌

absolute perfection, really essential part of my life in labeling and being able to process and journal my feelings and help regulate my mood before I spiral. so amazing that this is free, better than any paid app I've seen yet and backed by science and research and evidence based practice. 11/10.

I just downloaded it yesterday, but I can already say that I wished to have a connection to my Samsung watch! since I dont always want to find my phone to quickly note my mood, please :) other than that I like it so far!

OMG, what happened to the ability to save voice notes, every single one ive made is missing as if it were never recorded even the recent ones made yesterday. this is terrible and I hope its a bug and my voice notes return. what is going on FIX THIS?!

thanks for making it accessible for everyone. as someone with OCD and ADHD it has helped me alot regulating my emotions and giving me tools to help me with those emotions. the UI is great and thanks for making it possible to turn off the AI features. would highly recommend to anyone struggling with their emotions 🫶🏽

I was recommended this app by a therapist and it helped a ton to identify emotional triggers. With so many mental health apps on the market having paywalls, I was surprised to find that every feature on this app is free. Edit: With the most recent update I've found that all my entries with audio recordings no longer have the recordings available :(

great app, unfortunately multiple things that iPhone has is missing and frankly I know will never come. it's free however so until something better comes out I'm stuck with it.

I love that I can get feedback and dive deeper to help me flesh out emotions. My only critique is that I would like to be able to log more than one emotion in a check in.

I really like this app it really helps me feel better and understand myself more it would be so much better if they added streak freezes and different colors to widgets and overall app because its always in dark mode

I saw that body mapping is now available for Android users. I updated the app and still can't access it. It's a nice app. Having the ability to pick as many emotions as you are feeling in the moment would be helpful but you can only pick two. I'm going to keep using the app because it is good and useful

It is a good and easy way to learn and keep track of emotions. It is easy to use, clear, and ad-free. Understanding emotions creates a better foundation for better human interaction. Please continue developing this app.

The descriptions help if you have a difficult time trying to find the right words to describe what you're feeling. That's interesting for a week. Then I kind of forgot about it and the notifications don't help. I stopped paying attention to notifications. Because everyone and everything sends notifications now. That's now just another intrusive annoyance that's lost all utility. The story of everything on these devices.

used to use this app with my ex, so good he couldn't ruin it for me after we broke up. definetly helps me slow down and take a long hard think about my feelings, and is a good release of emotions (as a constant over-sharer and chronic yapper). i know its a cliche to say it but this is genuinely one of the only apps on my phone that I would 100% recommend to everyone i know.

This app has helped me so so so much. Being able to share how I'm feeling with my loved ones has been a game changer. I find it hard to initiate conversations about the stress/sadness I'm feeling and this way it feels much easier.

love this, recommend to everyone I speak to. my only complaint is that I can't open the app and register an emotion. if I open it manually it starts the setup process again

A really beautiful and simple way of tracking and interpreting your emotion state. I really love the simple, friendly layout, and the gentle guidance towards positive analysis. I use many different apps for tracking my mental state, including Daylio and Habitica, which are great. But they require more set-up and management. I was also pleasantly surprised by the way they incorporated AI to enlightening result. I feel like it's helped me see myself in a more positive light 💖

love instilling the practice of checking in with myself. the data is helpful to see patterns, and the tools offered are great.

What We Feel is a really thoughtful and helpful app. It provides a safe space to understand and express emotions without feeling judged. The interface is simple, easy to use, and the mood tracking features help build self-awareness over time. I appreciate how the app encourages emotional well being in a calm and supportive way. Overall, it's a great tool for anyone who wants to better understand their feelings and mental wellness...

I have really enjoyed this so far. My therapist is also happy that I've found a way to put my mood into words & I've realized that sometimes it feels like things are worse than they are. So, being able to choose the word, and seeing the definition, that fits my mood really helps me understand things are not as bad or it helps me narrow down what is affecting me easier. Thank you

This is such a great and polished app, i really love how they have made ai features an option and its off by default. I love how the app feels its so calming 💛. the best part is that its free, thank you for making such a wonderful app

All I can say is, where has this app been for all of my life 😂 I can say beyond any doubt, reasonable or otherwise, that this app is hand's down a Godsend, as well a necessary digital companion that anyone who's struggling (has struggled) with stress, anxiety, depression, or anything related to mental health; will quickly be asking themselves within minutes of use "I don't know how I got by everyday without it"

one of the best apps I've used recently and very helpful to have your digital journal about how u feel and reflect on it, as much as I like using physical journal but this app makes it way easier to do it with everything at the tips of your fingers, great job & well done to everyone worked on it❤️

this app has been super useful for me and my partner. It does make me feel frustrated though that I can only select a maximum of two emotions at a time. I frequently feel quite a lot more than that and trying to analyse all the options and decide what the two best representatives are is stressful and overwhelming, when being able to select more would be very helpful.

Why do none of the breathing exercises have sound anymore? I used to put them on close my eyes and follow by listening, I can't do that anymore instead I have to look at my screen, I don't want that

The features available on this app FOR FREE are unbelievable. From being able to share entires to the emotional insight videos, it's amazing. 10/10. It's a great way to track my emotions without feeling like the app is working against me

OMG you actually listened! Now we can add custom moods! Thank YOU!! 😭 It's truly mood focused which is what i needed since i have pretty bad mood swings. And the widget changes colours based on my logged emotions making it easier for me to see the different moods i went through throughout the day. Thank you so much for this. 🙏🥺

really good. im heavily ND and mentally ill, this makes me able to track my 'emotions' better. would like a pain thing too as they r heavily related. option to have more in-depth explanation of the feelings (and ability to add custom ones) would be heavily appreciated as i have extreme alexithymia and struggle to conceptualize broad/vague concepts, especially since many emotions are similar (such as annoyance and irritated)

The app is great but I have some suggestions. First make the app bright, the black colour makes it feel gloomy. And add a seperate tab in the app where we the app provide us with new prompts daily that we can write about. Also a few questions to start our day and end our day would be good too. Also many emotions are repetitive so it will be great if you provide us an option to add and delete emotions. And a proper calander view with a dedicated tab is a must. Edit:- Can't see the updates

I have used this app for 394+ in a row. The only thing I've ever done like that was watch YouTube ngl 😅 I can identify 186+ emotions and as someone who had a hard time describing how I feel, it feels great to finally know. Like even the slightest difference. I even use it with friends when they can't describe how they feel. I literally pull it out and literally it helps them. I hope more people use this. It's too amazing to not be seen. I hit 365 🩵 Now we can add emotions for Android!!

Just started to use this to track my emotions. love that its free and there are a good choice of emotions to choose from.

Awesome idea, great implementation! This app is a must-have for me. It's been helping me understand myself for about two years now. Intuitive, beautiful, useful. Update: The app is looking and feeling too much like iOS.

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.

Just started so still formulating a solid opinion. Seems to have a fair amount of resources. It vibrates when making selections. This is unpleasant sensory wise and it would be nice if there were a clear way to turn this off. I checked in the settings and the FAQ, but couldn't find anything regarding the vibration.

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
