Moodfit: Mental Health Tools

This app truly is one of the most helpful mental health apps out there. The fact that it’s not just a cbt journal or mood tracker or medication reminder or journal or period tracker or food diary, but all of those things for me, is amazing! The fact that even the free version gives you the functionality and flexibility to do all those things is what makes Moodfit my favorite out of all the competition. However it is pretty buggy. I have a lot of issues where it freezes or does not refresh to the new day. I notice it tends to happen when I try to log my lunchtime meds at work where I have crappy service. The app freezes and even when I get home with my WiFi and hit the little refresh button in the app, the daily goals home page is not accurate and will not update. I usually have to sign out and sign back in to fix that. So, not the worst but definitely can be annoying. Especially since I have adhd, it’s hard for me to remember to remain consistent with things or I will forget to log things if I don’t log it right away. I wish there was an option to log things and save them as a draft or something in the app, and then it can upload to the full log once there is a good enough connection.

This app is the best free mental health tool I’ve ever come across. The fact that it’s free and you have access to almost every feature without holding back the most important things that will truly help a person truly shows that those who made this care about others genuinely. Unlike meditation and other self-help apps that charge exorbitant amounts of money they are able to positively effect those who are searching for, and need, the help they deserve but can’t afford it. I am truly grateful I live in a world where I know developers like this exist and it gives me hope that there are more out there that still aim to use technology to reach out and help others, not just make a profit. As soon as I can afford it I want to make a point to buy a membership because I believe in their cause and I hope they become the number one app for self-help across all application stores.

I love this app very much. I really like all the tools it has to improve mood. The primary reason why I am giving this four stars instead of five stars Hass to do with the accessibility with voiceover. Voiceover is an accessibility service that changes how the device works to help blind and visually impaired people like me use the touchscreen. In order for voiceover to work well, the app and the interface Hass to be programmed right. Don't get me wrong, because I do think this is one of the most accessible apps for mood out there, but it is lacking a couple of things with voiceover accessibility. For example, when I try to customize the days for a reminder, voiceover does not give me any indication of which days are checked off. For the days that are checked off for the reminders, why not have voiceover say something like M selected or M checked? That would give blind and visually impaired users an indication that Monday is checked off. Otherwise, everything else about this app is great. If it wasn't for the voiceover accessibility problem, then I would give this five stars.
