1. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   Lost everything. I was happy until I switched over everything to a new phone, where I tried to type in forgot password and every time I hit send to email, nothing. I did accidentally created a new account and deleted it, but I’m still having issues trying to recover my old account, I did leave a message for the company but no response yet, I’ll update when I do get a response but until then I’m so angry and sad, my progress is gone 😭 and I’m unsure if it’s due to this new update.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Only 30 seconds. I download this because I wanted a free daily video diary, but this only allows you to record up to 30 seconds before you have to pay

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not for me. At first I liked it until all of those in app purchases 😡😡

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Misleading. I just wanted a simple photo with journal. You can’t use photos unless you upgrade to plus?

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Disappointed. Constantly drops entries

6. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Broken. Despite adding memories, the feed is blank. I get notifications to see what I posted years ago, I click and nothing. Once I enter a memory it basically disappears to never be seen again.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Disappointed. I used your app every day for over three months. All of a sudden it didn't accept my 3 things come to find it 2 days in a row! Now I can't go add them and my streak is ruined! 👎🏻

8. ★★★★★excessive or broken notifications

   It could be worse I suppose.. I don’t need daily notifications to look at old posts I made. I don’t Mond the daily reminder if I can net posted yet. This is to all app makers: need as few notifications as possible. The bare minutes please. This is annoying enough tjat I might have to find a new gratitude app. One that I am grateful for.

9. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Issues. This app has a few issues. You can't go back more than one day to update your journal entry. It does not play nicely with voice dictation. There are times when the journal entry does not save. There are times when the app does not interact well with the camera roll. I would like to be able to share my days with other users and that is not an option. I believe that fixing what is broken and adding a few more features to this very basic app would make it perfect. Not too much, just enough.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Meh. Not great - can't go back and edit, can't see pics when you add them and it often freezes up. I'm using it anyway because I like the idea.

11. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Long time user leaving. I’ve been using Happyfeed since 2019 I’ve enjoyed it a bunch I especially enjoy the random pods it gives me a chance to interact with people I wouldn’t otherwise come across. But not being able to see comments on posts I made especially my own or if the original poster acknowledges what I posted seems silly I get it we don’t want people piling on etc but one sided communication isn’t community it’s isolation I see no value in it anymore

12. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Take more feedback. Ask for feedback. It’s impossible for me to give feedback except in this form. Make this like iPhone photos gallery where I can see all my photos in one. You make it so hard for me to use this thing.

13. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    It’s not what I’m expecting yet. I like it but why is it cutting me off before I finish a sentence?

14. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    widget glitch. wanted to bring to the team’s attention: when I tried to add a weekly throwback memories widget, it only shows grey screen with nothing else, however, for the “recent memory” it works fine whether its text or photo.

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Can’t see previous posts!?!?. Overall I love the idea. I’ve been looking for a daily photo journal/ gratitude app. Being honest, I don’t want to pay a monthly fee to add 1-2 photos and reflect on my day. This app allows me to add up to 3 photos for a day without paying for upgrade. That is awesome!! I love that it gives me little prompts or ideas I could use if needed. Downside, I can’t easily find or read my past entries. I’m not always great at doing it every day but really try to make sure I have something for each day. I can see my moments from the current week and even the previous week but have to pay for upgrade if I want to see further back or the previous month. That’s very disappointing to me that I can’t easily access and see my full month in a view. I have to pay for premium to see photos, memories and moments. Hard to reflect on my gratitude if I don’t want to pay. I continue to use app for now (it’s been over a year) but not sure why. Side note - I am going through a hard time right now and would love to be able to view previous entries about my dog but unless it was on the same day a year ago I can’t find them.

16. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    New to the app. I hate traditional social media and liked the idea of an app that centered gratitude that could be as private or shared as you want. I think this app could take off if they made some slight changes. The premium version should be free to increase user ship. The app design is close but needs to be more seamless and mirror apps like Instagram to help increase use. I hope these things occur and I can convince my friends and fam to leave the other apps!

17. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    New Desktop Icon. I love the app but I don’t like the new app icon at all. Looks like a faceless space alien or insect.

18. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    It’s good. It’s pretty good I like it you can talk to your friends and send pics I would recommend it

19. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Mrs. So far good

20. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Wish I could post more. The max of 10 posts is kinda silly

21. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Useful to keep daily gratitude going. It’s the first of this kind of app that I’ve used and it’s great for what I want - a reminder that pops up when my wind down time starts and I reflect on gratitude and what went well that day. I gave it only 3 stars because there are these silly prompts that really jar with the vibe and I find distracting. They make me really angry so I would switch apps if another option came up, or remove them if that becomes an option.

22. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Great little app, but needs offline support. Lightweight and easy to use - can quickly and consistently log entries and look back on past days. However I was upset to find that I could not use this as easily when travelling, as I would often have no data and the app won’t even load without a connection. This was disappointing as there were actually more moments I wanted to capture during my travels, so the app basically failed me at the worst time :(

23. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Needs improvement. I feel like the "encouragement" that the app gives users to keep their journaling consistent has a negative tone. I shouldn't feel shamed for breaking a streak. I'd like this app better if the words used to inspire consistent journaling were more positive and if the app wouldn't point out when I do break a streak.

24. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Why only can write 3 things?. I hope we can add as many memo as we can! Happiness shouldn't be limited! But thank you for making this app for free!

25. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great App but Expensive. I think this is a great app. I used to do this manually years ago on calendar just to get one photo and a overall monthly print for memories. I would love to do a subscription but $48 a year for monthly or $40 a year annually is too expensive. I would go with $20 or $25 at the most.

26. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    Great app. This is a great app I love it so much. It really helps me to focus on the good parts of my day when it is so easy to focus on the hard. I will say that the UI is very different and sometimes hard to use as well as the different sharing options. You think you have figured it out but then something happens and no you haven’t. But other than that it is a fantastic app that you can use for just the people in your life like social media was supposed to be in the first place

27. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    Love it. It helps me one thing I want to happen is to have longer videos for free!

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    What happened?. I used to be able to tap on an icon in the upper right corner and see the fun facts and jokes and prompts from the past seven days. Once it updated now it’s a calendar icon. I really don’t care for it and want my old seven day list back. ☹️ It made it an unhappy feed.

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great app. I really enjoy this app. You post happy moments and no drama. It is very uplifting. I just wish we could comment on post, it would be great to encourage others. That’s the only reason why I rate a 4.

30. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Amazing concept, great prompts. A friend and I looked for an app where we could share daily wonders easily . This is a great one allowing both video, pictures and text. If you pay the app fee, you can load more than one pic a day and see more of your past postings but there is a free version which is fine if you don’t want downloadable history. The one thing I hope the creators will improve right away is the ability to toggle back and forth between screens more easily. It gets stuck sometimes or just won’t get to the screen I’m seeking unless I refresh. It needs work on navigation but other than that, it’s a little jewel.
