This app has helped me through many struggles. I was able to change my emotions by using it. I recommended it to friends, coworkers, family members, my therapist and my DBT group. It’s really been helpful in my recovery. I haven’t had many episodes lately and when I came back to the app to help myself through some difficult situations and return to wise mind, I’m left more frustrated and upset. The app starts off the same. Select the feelings you are feeling then the intensity of those feelings. Then select the traps you are falling in. *Then it goes to one box to fill in how I view these traps after reading them. It goes to review and adjust the intensity of feelings. Then it goes through how to view the traps for your situation. *They removed the single most important step. After selecting the traps you fall in, the app would then let you go through each trap and think them through by typing them out. Effectively getting my brain to work through the problem. Without that step it’s just an app that is used more like a diary/journal. Please bring back the worksheet format of working through each step guiding the brain to come out of the trap. Without it I’m left still frustrated and more intense feelings.

Love this app. It’s quite useful to record your mood, and the feelings you were experiencing at a particular moment. However, the updated interface with the emoji-like face is hideous. This is a clear example of app’s design teams tinkering with something that wasn’t broken. The app’s main purpose is to help people become more aware of their emotions and response to these. This is a serious topic, which the old interface reflected well while still being user friendly. The updated interface however, plays up to “modern sensibilities” but fails miserably at doing so. There’s a major and painful disconnect in the design language of the “log” tab and the “stats” tab. The emoji-like face in the “log” tab is the stuff of nightmares, and overall detracts from the app’s mental awareness goal. Buttons and overall design now feel modern for the sake of modernity: not purposefully designed that way, instead it all just reads like design taken out of a UI template you find on Dribble. Please, please, please Moodnotes team. Bring back the old interface, or find a way to tone down the new visuals. This updated visual language doesn’t reflect the app’s true value. I hope you realize that.

I used to adore this app. It was pretty much perfect. It was simple and you could really easily just write about your day or how you were feeling without any complications. It was easy to look through past entries and the design of the app was very nice to look at at. In short, the app was about the journaling without all the extra distractions. Not anymore though. Now the whole thing is bogged down with so many new “features” that go completely against the main reason I used the app in the first place. Now the spot for writing is super small and to get to it you are forced to jump through an absurd number of hoops. Looking through past entries is a pain and the app looks completely different from when I first downloaded it, and not for the better. I’m so unbelievably disappointed. I have a lot of writing wrapped up in this app and now it feels inaccessible. It’s just such a shame and I would really love to go back to the simpler times of this app, when it didn’t require you to complicate your entries. It’s really frustrating that something that was once so great is now something I’ll probably never use again.
