Moodflow

I’ve tried a few different mood tracking apps, and this is by the the most thorough. Unlike a lot of other apps like this, most of the features are free. A lot of other apps have the same stuff but you have to pay. You can add as many activities and symptoms as you want. It’s been very helpful for me as a person who has mental health struggles to add my symptoms and how severe/how much affect they have on my day. You can even add notes for what triggered the symptom and review them later. It gives you a graph of your moods, and you can clearly see the ups and downs. You rate your date 1-5, and can add individual emotions. Another feature is tracking sleep and restfulness, and it gives a graph for that too. Highly recommended this if you have mental health issues, or if you just want to track your general well-being.

This is the app I’ve been looking for. I downloaded every mood tracking app I could find last year and spent about 1 day on each of them before getting frustrated either by bad design, or by a lack of an important tracking feature (e.g. no way to track medications). When my psychiatrist told me about Moodflow yesterday, I downloaded it and was completely impressed and smitten. It’s free, it is visually appealing, it has all the features I could imagine included. I love that it’s there’s a way to track not only mood and journal, but also physical activity, sleep, medication, social interactions, and a gratitude journal feature. My one wishlist item would be the ability to connect the app to other apps, such as Apple Health and Sleep Cycle, so I don’t have to put my physical activity and sleep info in manually. I’m about to go tell everyone about Moodflow. Thank you for making this free and so accessible!

I really love how I can see a calendar view of the month, with gradient colors showing my mood fluctuations for the day! I also love all the graphs and that I can set them to show for the week or month, and that there are weather, sleep, and physical activity tracker. I believe this app is going to help greatly in identifying the patterns of my mood and what triggers them to go up or down. It’s also going to really help when I report to my therapist and psychiatrist, because me sense of time is vague and my days seem to blend, so it’s hard to tell them how many days I’ve been depressed vs happy vs whatever, or what was going on that might have influenced the ups and downs. Overall, this is the best and most useful of the 3 mood tracker apps I’ve tried. I do hope more activity icons and emoticons will be added, and I think maybe a “thought/behavior challenger” or similar CBT/DBT/ACT prompt would be useful, to go along with the regular free-form journal and the gratitude journal.
