Ratings and reviews

I'm enjoying the app so far. its very aesthetically appealing, and the journal works nicely. theres not much to choose from with the mood tracker, but the simplicity is a good thing imo. it makes it easy to track your mood over time at a glance, while other apps I've tried made it difficult with many emotions to choose from. my only complaint so far is that between the graphic and the font the daily encouragement can be hard to read sometimes

It's a great app so far, with lots of mental health resources, journal space, a mood tracker, blogs, and links to donate too, and it isn't all locked behind a paywall which has been a big problem with other apps I've had like this. I would definitely recommend. The only thing I would change is I wish you could document different moods throughout the day instead of just one for the whole day. Other than that I love it

I enjoy this app because it gives me a space to recognize and process my emotions while knowing I am not alone, and if I need help, it's only a call away. I do wish it was more customizable for the Discovery option, so those of us with different mental health issues will see options more relevant. All in all, it's a great app, even if you aren't huge on journaling.
