1. 5/5Amazing!

   I’ve always wanted to be able to journal every night, because I love looking back and seeing how my day was one or two years ago. However, I could never make myself actually get a journal and write everything down. And when I did, it always took so long and made me not want to do it anymore. Thankfully, Daylio is a great journaling app as it is short and sweet but it lets you put down all the info you want. For example, you can add more activities to have as an option for when the app asks what you did today. It also has a notes section, where you can add additional details or write a mini journal entry. My personal favorite is the photo section, where you can add in pictures you took that day. I love looking back and seeing all of the photos. A few fun additional things you can do is change the color and design of the mood emojis, which i really enjoy. Every week, Daylio gives you a weekly report. This report includes things like your average mood, activities associated with each mood, photos you entered that week, and your mood stability (only if you have premium.) I love this app so much because it has helped me to be able to journal and keep track of my mood so easily, and i can do it anywhere. I also really like how it sends you reminders of when you need to make an entry, because heaven knows I would forget haha. I definitely think you should gives this app a try, because it’s so simple and convenient for any time! Sorry this was so long too lol, i just had a lot to say as you can see.

2. 5/5This app changed me profoundly

   I suffered from depression for many years in my life, in 2018 I discovered this app to help cope with it. Daylio at first was simplistic for me. I would choose a happy face or sad face depending on my mood and leave a short blurb of the day sometimes. It was easy enough for me to do and didn’t require that much effort so building the habit of early journaling was easy. little by little I added activities so I didn’t necessarily even have to type anything but could just choose an activity I did, it helped me begin to be able to track what was making me happy and what was making me sad and spotting the consistency of these activities correlating with my moods. Almost 6 years later, my journal entries have become very detailed. If I’m trying to recall what I did days, weeks, or even months ago, I have the resource to find it. Daylio is become the single most important app on my phone because it’s help me establish a record of my life. The continued updates have made it worth buying the premium version. You don’t require subscription to use it as so many other apps and services nowadays have become obsessed with bleeding consumers dry. I recommend this app to anybody who feels like they’re in a rut, to anyone who needs an eye-opening self reflection tool. Do you want to get a better understanding of your habits and who you are as a person? This app can be your greatest resource to do so.

3. 5/5Wonderful Mood Tracker

   I was looking for a mood tracking app where I could have multiple entries throughout the day, not just one at the end. I use this app to help track my anxiety and how I feel leading up to an anxious period as well as other moods. I love that I can go back and add entries even days later if I forgot. I also love that it’s completely customizable and I can have tons of options. I did end up upgrading to premium to unlock unlimited moods and activities because I find it really beneficial and absolutely worth the around $20 a year. I have an activities folder with ranges for my heart rate so so can track that during an anxiety attack, I have one with different physical symptoms like sweaty, dizzy, etc., and even a folder for methods and techniques I’ve already tried to calm down. I hate having to type out every little thing so being able to just go through and simply pick what applies at the moment is great. The small comment section is great as well if I want to add a small note about something that might be important but not frequent enough for its own button. This app is really fantastic for helping track moods and keeping a record of how I am feeling and when in an easy to use format that’s customizable to every person, even down to the color scheme. I started off simply looking for an app where I could have more than one daily entry but this app goes above and beyond.

4. 5/5Great insight into yourself, simple, useful - Love it!

   I have always loved to journal and document both important and mundane days in my life. It’s easy to do with this app, even if you only have a few minutes to check in with yourself to see how you are feeling. All you do is click a few buttons to record what you’ve been doing and how you feel, the app records the time stamp and you’re done! Or if you have more time you can add text too - a little or a lot - I’ve written paragraphs at times. As someone diagnosed bipolar over 20 years ago, using this app is a great way to track moods (I too am in to the popular “mindfulness” trend, even before it became popular): it allows me to pause throughout the day, take a few minutes to sit quietly, notice how my body feels, see what kind of feelings my thoughts bring up in me, and then record that snapshot. Then, at any time I can look at the app’s simple reports that show a variety of trends in you activities and mood over a given period of time. I may think, “wow, I’ve been down and frustrated a lot lately” and then look over the report for the month and see that I actually had a lot of really positive times too. It helps me focus on the positive and work on training my brain not to go automatically to the negative. With practice, our brains CAN be rewired that way! I’ve done it successfully with a couple different things I wanted to change. Anyway, try the app. It’s great!

5. 4/5Wonderful yet lacking

   I always argue with myself about whether or not to renew my subscription. A few months before the subscription renews, I find myself abandoning the app. I don’t want to renew it because something is lacking. The correlation vs causation element isn’t as evident as I’d like it to be. For example, I have set to have my mood assessed every four hours (during waking hours, of course). I then choose a mood 1-5 and list what I’ve been doing the last four hours. Sometimes it’s shopping, with family, making art, with friends, etc. However, there is no good/bad element to this, so if my mood is bad, soon the app is correlating innocent things like time with family as frequently accompanied by my poor mood. It winds up just being a lot of data that I don’t know what to do with. I see no way to run experiments. It would be great to be able to automatically integrate data from Apple Health, showing things like HRV and sleep quality that would have an obvious bearing on mood and energy. So here I sit on the fence again, wondering what the point is. Am I learning anything from recording all of this, or is it just another compulsive activity to do on the phone? How can this make my life better? Something’s lacking here. As basic mood apps go, it’s really the best I’ve found, but then again, I’m not learning anything from the random activities I’ve charted every four hours. Therefore, why pay for another subscription?
