  1. 5/5One of the best

    I actually heard about this app from a review left on a separate app I had tried and deleted because most, if not 90% of the features were pay to use. I’ve tried a lot of mental health apps over the years but usually give up on a lot of them because of how many in app purchases they try shoving down your throat, all with the hefty promise of “curing your depression”… This is the real deal though. No. It may not CURE your depression, but as someone who has found journaling to be one of the best ways to manage my mental health over the years, How We Feel has made navigating my everyday thoughts and emotions so much easier. Especially because sometimes I don’t understand what emotion I’m feeling until I look over their large wall of emotions and can get incredibly specific on just what my brain is experiencing. I also tried listening and watching and participating in several of the activities that come free with the app and some of them just amazed me with the uniqueness. For example- “creating a negative story” and then watching it burn and letting it go. Or choosing a few photos that I like looking at and captioning them to create what’s essentially an easily accessible slideshow of my favorite life moments. I enjoyed those two in particular. I’d love to see even more activities in the future as well but even as the app stands now, I can confidently say anyone searching for a mental health journaling app or just mental health tracking app in general should give it a try.

  2. 5/5Future therapist in LOVE

    I’m in a masters in counseling program and one of my friends/classmates shared this app with me. I am in LOVE!! I’ve always considered myself pretty in touch with my feelings but this app really helped me learn how to label my feelings effectively and learn about feelings in general in such a fun, easy, and aesthetically pleasing way. It features great therapeutic exercises that are helpful when I need to calm down or am caught up in negative thoughts (I can’t remember if they’re research based but they do help for sure). I’m going to recommend this to my clients for sure!! Also, just for context, I am NOTORIOUS for downloading a mood tracking app, doing it for two days, then getting bored with it. That definitely didn’t happen with this one!! I don’t do it every day, but I DO do it whenever I’m having a particularly strong feeling. It’s helpful for me to use to track my symptoms (depression and anxiety), especially considering I just started a new dosage of medication and need to monitor myself even more closely!! This app helps me remember how many depressive/anxious episodes I’ve had and what I’ve been feeling so I can work on them in therapy and have something helpful to report to my psychiatrist. It’s just such a great tool and it’s all of this FOR FREE!!! As a future therapist, I cannot endorse this app enough. I’m usually too lazy to write reviews, but I feel like this is such a useful app that everyone should have on their phones, even if they only use it once in a while.

  3. 5/5My favorite and the best free app. (If you want to understand yourself, start here)

    I started a journey of self awareness, self love, and self esteem about a year ago. If you don’t know where to start, this is 100% the place to practice all of that. It’s so low effort and keeping with it consistently (even just once a day) for a month and it absolutely changed my view of myself in such an overwhelmingly positive way. I notice my overall approach to life and intentionality in my day to day interactions have changed. I can tell other people have noticed too. I feel like I’ve found myself. I always thought of feelings and emotions and black and white, good and bad, but now I see my feelings objectively and process it in the healthiest and most loving way. I feel freer and lighter and calmer. The design is amazing from the visual effects to the meditative exercises to the customizable experience. I truly appreciate the overall thoughtfulness and awareness the creators have for everyone’s unique needs and their individual journeys toward their growth in mental and emotional health. I get excited when I open the app because I seem to notice new things each time. I’ve learned so much about myself in the past couple of years, by staying consistent and checking in with all the data collected from all possible angles—weather, time of day, exercise minutes, etc—and it’s incredible that this app is completely free. I would recommended this to family and friends. You can control how much information you share keep tabs on each other through real-time posts of feelings. It’s very simple and low effort and real connection. I love it.

  4. 5/5BEST APP EVER

    i’ve tried them all…i’ve deleted them all…i’ve redownloaded and tried again…but in the end none of the emotional wellness tracking apps have met my needs. the majority of them require subscriptions or in app purchases to unlock full content which is really frustrating and disappointing. how we feel was recommended to me by my therapist as i was leaving therapy one day. i forgot about it until i saw the sticky note with “how we feel” scribbled onto it. i checked it out on the app store and downloaded it. at this point i wasn’t too sure that i would like it and based on my past experiences i assumed i would end up deleting it shortly after. after a minute of tinkering around with the app, i knew i had something special in my hands. i’m not great at naming emotions, like at all. but this app has done so much for me. i have learned more emotions and with the short descriptions the app offers i have been able to easily pick out what i’m feeling. i tend to feel like a million different emotions throughout the day which is so frustrating but this app allows me to check in with all those different feelings whenever i want or when it notifies me too. i love all of the data it collects and compiles for you. this app is changing my life. i have become the biggest spokesperson for how we feel in my community of people i love. i literally share it with everyone with so much excitement and enthusiasm. i have been in therapy forever now and even though i feel as if i know all the strategies and coping techniques, the videos on this app always pleasantly surprise me with new insights! i can’t recommend this app enough. thank you how we feel!

  5. 4/5love the app! don’t love the AI…

    my therapist recommended my girlfriend and i try using this app to improve our communication, and it’s done wonders! it’s expanded my vocabulary when it comes to describing my emotions, and made it much easier to communicate to her and to others how i’m feeling. it’s been a great tool for me in my mental health journey. i was disappointed to see the addition of AI to an app i use to journal my emotions and inner thoughts. i don’t like the idea that my private thoughts might be used to train the AI, and it feels unnecessary in an app like this. i understand the intention is to help people gain insight into why they’re feeling a certain way, however it feels like users are expected to take mental health advice from or confide in a robot with no mental health training. it feels impersonal to me, and saddened me to see this feature on an app i use daily. i would have loved to see these resources used to add other useful features; more to the incredibly helpful “tools” section of the app, an option to enter custom emotions with descriptions, or a quiz of some kind that can be taken to help identify the correct emotion word one can attribute to any given moment, to name a few. the AI might be great for some, but personally, it caused me to lose faith in the app and made me sad when i feel like there could be more helpful features added with the resources used to add an unnecessary AI.
