Shmoody: Mood & Habit Tracker Reviews

I’m always looking for appealing, simple and truly useful apps for both myself and my wellness coaching clients. I’m delighted both as an user and as someone who is always on the lookout for useful ways to create gentle, compassionate, internally motivating behavior changes - especially in a pandemic while we’re all stuck inside. I love the use of imagery, variety and user-friendliness, and am impressed by the depth of thought, humor and creativity in each feature. I can’t wait to keep sharing this with my community and seeing how Shmoody continues to evolve. For the few apps remaining on my phone (I’ve deleted most), this is one truly worth keeping around. With mindfulness, mental health and simplicity on everyone’s mind, it’s the perfect time for technology like this.

Most of us already know to do these things when we are feeling “fine” it’s when I’m in my negative space that I don’t want to, or don’t know to, reach for these tools. Shmoody brings it back to the basics. Easy? No. Nothing is easy when you’re in that space but Shmoody allows you to do a little less thinking and get into a little more action. As my therapist says “eventually actions become emotions” Shmoody helps with the actions.

I love Shmoody. It makes me have a little smile when get depressed.
A friend who understands your everything is alwyas the the best one to have. “However” they do not be with us all the time when we get depressed, and I think Shmoody might be a good alternative. It will tell what to do to cheer you up, which was supposed to be told by our friends.

So many of these apps want to ask me a thousand questions which is the last thing I feel like doing when I’m depressed. Shmoody cuts straight to the point of what can I do right now to make myself feel better. Also, they have memes, which I think is awesome.

A note to the developers — if you want women to use Shmoody, you might want to curate your comedy section a little more. Many women who are depressed (and just many women) have experienced sexual assault and may be especially triggered on bad days by you recommending Bill Cosby and Louis CK at the top of your comedy list. There are plenty of comedians you could use to cheer people up without them.

I was excited by the otherwise gentle nature of Shmoody, but that really shut me down when I was looking for something to cheer me up this evening.

Genuinely just a nice app. You get the feeling that they know what bad days are like, and really want to help people out. It has tons of calming audios like soundscapes and binaural beats (very interesting, no?) You can post about your day in probably the most supportive community online. Just a nice app.

I keep seeing apps for addressing mental health issues but they are all subscription based apps. I feel they should be free with an option to donate. If they actually help i would donate to the developers because i have tried a few apps like this and they didnt help at all and the developers still got my money, which shows them Shmoody “works” when in reality it didnt in the slightest. These kind of apps are just capitalizing on people with mental health issues with bots writing positive reviews

Straightforward and easy to use. Provides simple tasks to help you feel better. Really like the community aspect as I believe that’s essential to growth and recovery. Looking forward to challenging myself with some of the upcoming events. Social media detox should be interesting!

As a teen I've really just been stressed with school parents and my recent breakup and Shmoody has not only helped me with my stress and anxiety but my out look on the day and being excited for life again.

I really enjoy the random suggestion feature and the guided meditation. Shmoody plus a little bit of willingness goes a long way to help change my mood! Thank you!!!!

I was recommend to use this application when I struggled with my mental health in 2020! In 2016 I had issues with depression and anxiety. I worked with a therapist that used cognitive behavioral therapy. Shmoody reminds me of that technique and it does wonders! Couldn’t be happier 😃

I’m not much of an app guy but a friend recommended and so far I’m kind of blown away. Simple simple little things to improve your perspective, I can see how they can really help my day or over time

I truly feel like Shmoody has everything I need to allow me to take control of my mental health. It recommends exercise/activities, feel good movies, helpful podcasts, and simple approaches to dealing with mental health issues.

I love Shmoody I’ve been really depressed and drained lately but the little jokes and tips literally brought a tear to my eye (happy tear) thank you I just wish Shmoody was free ATM for personally reasons but you guys deserve every penny.

My app- when I open it has just a white screen and says It can’t connect to the server. Really enjoying Shmoody and would hate to lose my progress. :( help!

There are all kinds of cool things to dig into in Shmoody. I really like the mediation tool, you pick your time commitment and it guides you through a quick (or not, depending on what you picked!) mediation.

I’m really loving Shmoody!
It’s a great way to start your day.
It helps me start my day/weekend with positive goals that ultimately lead me to a positive mood. The daily challenges are just what I need to feel accomplishment and satisfaction .
Check out the standup, movie or podcast recommendations
Spot on choices for whatever your mood is.
Shmoody is very user friendly and really fun.
I highly recommend for everyone!

This is a great place to go when you need headspace or some help. The music tracks are so amazing for studying and the community is very supportive. Thank you!

Loving how simple the screens are and how Shmoody doesn’t feel overwhelming. I’ve been getting lost in the content, in a good way!

It’s like a toolkit for when I’m bored. It reminds of all the fun and productive things I can do when I think there’s NOTHING to do.

I never write reviews but compelled to share my experience with Schmoody … I have been mentally struggling lately and Shmoody has been a wonderful tool for my mental health and coping through life and my recent unemployment. I searched for many apps in Shmoody Store, gave this one a shot and it truly has benefited me in so many positive ways.. it has assisted in pre-curated text responses to situations I simply do not have the mental energy for, along with a community board that supports one another!! I had an issue with my subscription and Mike the creator/founder of Shmoody personally set aside time through email support and assisted with me. Truly top-notch company. I’m recommending it to all my friends and family! Don’t sleep on Shmoody, try it for yourself!

Hi I am 12 years old I suffer from Smiling Depression Shmoody made me so happy like I smile for real now when I first opened Shmoody and saw they had cats I actually cried I loves cats and that made me so happy I cried! I have been trying to find a app where I can share my personal struggles to people and they won’t judge and I found the perfect app I talked to people for apps for SH addictions and I am doing better I have not done SH in 2 MONTHS which is very good I feel like everyone is here because they are struggling and we all help each other get along Shmoody is great and I highly suggest it! You don’t even have to pay to really enjoy it I am happy now and can enjoy life better! Thank you so much!!!!

For something that is supposed to help you to feel better. It didn’tnever really able to get it set up during free 7 days, so I tried unsuccessful to cancel it multiple times. Never ever used any of the functions. But after less than seven days, it charged both me and another person on my family account $40! Both of us for one subscription that I didn’t even want. It did not show up in my iTunes account, so I was unable to cancel that way. I finally found it on my phone and attempted to cancel it again but now I have to pay for a whole year of a useless app that cost me nothing but stress anxiety and bad feelings. And now I have no confidence that a year from now. I won’t force me add another person to pay another $40. Avoid this at all cost if you want to feel better

I downloaded Shmoody because I’ve been looking for something to help me keep on track with healthy daily habits and found that the free trial period is only three days and then you have to buy a subscription. I saw multiple developer responses to reviews saying there are many free features and I haven’t found a single one. Seems like it would be difficult to tell in just three days if an app geared toward promoting mental health actually works for you enough to buy a subscription…

I’m not against subscriptions since people need to get paid and I certainly don’t believe Shmoody is a capitalization on mental health, but it does feel a little scammy to have basically no chance to test it out :/

With the mental health crisis raging across America, resources such as Shmoody are badly needed. The fact that they charge anything is a huge disappointment, and especially at the considerably high price they charge. Many people who are suffering with mental health issues are unable to work and depend on a very low income, making it difficult to provide even basic necessities for themselves, these are the exact people who would benefit the most from Shmoody, yet the cost makes the help out of reach. It’s extremely frustrating and disappointing that awesome resources like this exist, but instead of providing valuable help, it’s used as a means for making a profit, taking advantage of people who are struggling with these kinds of devastating symptoms of mental illness.

If Shmoody really understood ADHD they’d know that the reason we like checklists is the dopamine rush we get when checking something off. Which is why it is inexplicable to me that every day for the recurring lists, the items are all still checked off from the prior day. Why don’t they reset daily? It’s pointless for me to uncheck it and recheck it. Then I have to manually uncheck the ones I haven’t done and this makes me feel worse. I hate opening Shmoody because of this. I sent feedback through Shmoody and never heard anything so now I’m resorting to a review.

The one thing they do understand about ADHD - we forget to cancel free trials. So I’m stuck having paid for this useless thing for a year.

Honestly think Shmoody is great, just for the people who are willing to pay. Even with a lower price than many other services, for someone like myself, its still not an option. I cant add a monthly subscription on top of school; even the yearly isnt something I can afford as just a one time payment. Its an unfortunate reality for many people and Im one of them. However, Shmoody could be really beneficial to a lot people and I think if you have the funds, you should definitely try it.

Shmoody features are helpful, particularly the action plan. I struggle to check in with myself and take time to decompress, so having little reminders to do something nice for myself is great. The one thing that’s bugging me is that the music will start playing randomly while Shmoody is closed. Like I’ll be texting someone or checking my email and the music will suddenly start playing without an accompanying notification.

Think it’s kind of messed up to force people to pay for a mental health app (profiting off of depression guys, cmon), and especially because it’s clearly still in early development — super expensive and it’s glitchy, doesn’t allow more than five actions in a routine, and the interface is pretty ragged and laborious. Can you tell I just forgot to cancel my free trial and now I’ve paid $50 for only a years subscription when I don’t think it’s even worth $20 for life.

I’m very glad I canceled my free trial before being charged for the overpriced subscription service on Shmoody. It seems to think I’m clinically depressed based on my “phone usage” (no other details provided) and today it started randomly playing music three different times. Couldn’t figure out where the music was coming from and had to shut down all apps to find the source. And then even though I didn’t reopen Shmoody , it played music by itself again. Deleted. Skip this one.

Shmoody is a surprising gem! I love that it is simple to use and has a positive spin that doesn’t feel fake or annoying. The coaching is the best I’ve heard, a calm voice and really great tips. I love all the great suggestions for creating a daily action plan that are fun!!! And the sleep stories are the BEST!!! Thank you for Shmoody!!!

Just started using this a few hours ago. I promise you if you stick with it and even do the simplest task you will feel a change. I have desired goals I want to reach but it’s also so good at helping you calm down and bringing you to center.

It’s a great app! The only thing I wish worked a little smoother was creating custom action plans for yourself. Every time you try to edit one, it’s starts creating a new plan instead of just adding something specific to the one you have so that can be a little frustrating but overall, I’m keeping it!

First of all for someone (high functioning) with ADHD, this interface is absolutely overwhelming and kind of useless IMO. How can you expect someone with focusing issues to answer millions of questions? And the way it is visually organized is too messy. Would like to see a cleaner interface to help with focus, it’s just confusing. The check mark thing left for the next day was mentioned in a previous comment and I saw the creator replied - more food for thought- it’s not useful to leave the list for the next day. Try something like “let’s start over/let’s try to get these all accomplished today” and refresh them. Lastly, I am already very motivated and was merely looking to make a more structured daily routine // and implement better habits into my daily life 6 months post partum. I love positive energy, I am empathetic and very wary of mental health sufferers (as someone who has personally experienced these issues in the past). The community board was a turnoff, there was so much negativity and somber messages I had to cancel my subscription, not a place giving positive energy and light- was very sad to see some of the posts of others suffering from such things: “I am feeling so ugly today and everyday, what can i do, seeking help” etc. These people with severe emotional distress should be offered to speak to a counselor on your app. Just some ideas…

Shmoody is perfect I think, just needs a few bug fixes at the moment, but a lot of Shmoody is still functional. The saving of action plans and making a Joy list/calendar are currently experiencing a few bugs, but I’m super excited for things to be working smoothly because it seems like the team behind this app really knows what works and will help me!! As long as the dev team keeps working and fixing issues with things I’m excited to have an app that will likely help me in my day to day for life c:

Shmoody wasn’t for me; I found that the plans it created weren’t enough to break me out of low cycles or motivate me, and that’s ok! That’s what trials are for.

What ISNT ok is a mental health app marketed at people that may be neurodivergent or mentally ill monetizing using a timed trial that automatically converts to a $40 yearly subscription if you don’t cancel within 7 days.

There are other demo and pricing structures that would better serve your audience without preying on the “forgot to cancel” crowd, which is something mental illness can make you more prone to.

I fully support paid apps, recognize the costs that it takes to develop and support apps, and want the developers to earn a living wage. However, it is possible to do so without taking advantage of the group your app aims or claims to help.

There are three main problems I have with Shmoody, one that I noticed before I even downloaded it. First, near constant paywalls. Plans are 3.33$ a month or 40$ a year, and even though that’s not a ton, it’s still too much for one app out of tons and tons of the same mental health apps with the same paywalls. Secondly, tying in with the first problem, you can’t “create your own routine”. You can add specific tasks they’ve listed but you can’t make your own without paying for premium. Third, as I was reading other reviews for Shmoody , I found that a lot of the responses from the company itself are copied and pasted, trying and failing to portray a friendly attitude toward the reviewer. This may be a problem with other apps too or even a majority, this is just the first time I’ve noticed. And of course, if they see this they’ll write a personalized response, but take a look at the other critical reviews and you’ll see what I mean. All in all, this seems like just another mental health app that wants your money; most of them are almost the exact same, just with a different UI.

I found a free alternative if you don’t want to pay called Feelmo. I haven’t downloaded it or tried it out but there are no in app purchases that I can see, and it’s free to install.

I downloaded Shmoody and started with the free trial because it said that I would be given a warning about when my trial was up. I was not given a warning notification as stated and was charged for a full year subscription without knowing. I have adhd and decided to do the free trial to try to help with my day-to-day life AND because I was told I would receive a notification when the trial period was about to end in case I didn’t want to continue using Shmoody . Well I tried it for a couple days, and it wasn’t helping me as much as I hoped (not hating on the actual app itself, it just wasn’t a good fit), and I completely forgot about it (short term memory issues). So when I checked my bank statements and saw the charge I almost burst into tears. While it may not be a ton of money, it is still something I didn’t budget for and I would like to know why I would be charged for a full year subscription instead of monthly to start off with.

I tried to write into the developers directly but there’s no link or area on their website to do so, so leaving a review here before I cancel my week-trial.

The concept of Shmoody is great! Easy setup, daily reminders, checklist to keep you on top of habits, etc.

However, each notification I receive and click on just directs me to the initial account setup checklist. So I can’t actually use Shmoody in the intended functional way of: notification reminder > click> redirects to app > checks off habits. (ie: “check in with your mood!” So I click it to do so in Shmoody , it just takes me to Shmoody and goes through the color scheme choice, why I’m using Shmoody , etc)

Along with other mental health problems, I have ADHD and while I’ll admit Shmoody does mess with my executive dysfunction a little, it seems to help with my depression and anxiety. It gives me something to look forward to and something to keep me accountable I guess. I haven’t used the community section yet, or the routine, or the joy list 😅 OK so I’ve only used the daily tasks and logged my mood— but that alone made Shmoody worth it for me.

I was shooketh when I read the suggested actions saying I should pet my cat or read a book. That’s not productive!! I should change that out for clean something….but wait…”based on my mood” AHA!! I shouldn’t be cleaning I SHOULD PET MY CAT!! Such a simple thing but when you’re clouded by overwhelmed busy thoughts. It doesn’t even cross my mind. Thank you this app for seeing what I need and not what I “think” I should be doing 💕🦄🥹

I’ve been doing 50 jumping jacks because it was one of the things to do and it feels so good after. That’s the perfect amount to get your heart beating. But not too many as a beginner. And I am getting other things done like making sure I sit to drink my tea bc I do breathing exercises while I drink my camomile tea. It’s lovely. Shmoody makes sure I do it

This is the only mood tracker app that has given me the impression that the creators genuinely care for the users. This kind of support creates a life line for people who feel like they have no voice or ground to stand on. It promotes healthy life style changes in a way that enables the user to make a significant impact in a positive way that is simple, effective, and fun. In my own experience, it has given me the desire to do better for my self, as well as the motivation to do so. For years what has seemed like too much of a hassle, it has made self care a core value that has completely changed my perspective on what it means to be happy.

So I’ve been using this for about 2 months now. A lot of things in Shmoody are marked “coming soon”. There’s frequently bugs. I have no idea why the daily points are tallied - there’s mention of a coming soon feature for how to spend the points too. I’m starting to wonder what the team is doing with the monthly subscription fees if they’re not releasing new features. If the coming soon things could actually get released I think I’d be really happy with it & would bump this up to a 4 or 5-star review. But I have to give 2 starts because right now it just has good potential.

I like Shmoody , it has a lot of variety for the daily plans you can make, which I appreciate because sometimes I can challenge myself and set a difficult task but on harder days I can set something really simple like putting on clothes or drinking water.

One issue I do have though is that if I don’t finish the daily plan, it will stay there until I check off all of the tasks I set. Sometimes it makes me a feel a little bit of a failure knowing that I couldn’t bring myself to brush my teeth yesterday, it would be nice if an unfinished daily plan can reset itself in the morning or congratulate you for finishing 2/3 things from my list or something like that.

I’m really looking forward to the widget Shmoody says it’s working on, I’d like to have one that I can make front and center to remind myself that Shmoody exists because I do forget about it sometimes.

I have been enjoying the ability to easily check in with how I’m feeling throughout the day and have that be all there in Shmoody . The action plans have actually helped me take steps during the day when I haven’t wanted too. Shmoody developers are very involved in addressing requests and changes from the users. I’ve seen changes in just the short time I’ve been using it so that’s really encouraging. There are some aspects that can use improvement - having more moods available, being able to have multiple action plans per day, having more planned 7 day challenges.
Overall I think it’s been helpful in my day to day life. Looking forward to more improvements and changes from the developers.

Shmoody was downloaded just a few days ago. I started being honest with Shmoody and it actually did some things that I have not seen any other applications similar to this one do. I did not honestly expect to receive the resourceful information and advice that I did! I love Shmoody. It’s adorable! Too bad it can’t be free as I feel it could help so many. Or maybe if it could run off of donation contributions that would be cool too.

I’ve used a lot of mental health apps. Similar to this app and slightly different. This is the one I keep coming back to. I like that it suggests different activities based on what I said my mood was. I like I can add my own activities/tasks. Frequent user of the meditations. I’ve definitely got my moneys worth of Shmoody. I’ve experienced two small bugs in my frequent use of Shmoody but nothing to deter me from using it.

I downloaded Shmoody when I was having a difficult time organizing my life and finding ways to stay motivated. It’s now my fav place to be. I love the focus music, breathing exercises, and suggestions for daily tasks based on my mood. Using Shmoody has inspired me to reduce my screen time and do the things that truly make me happy rather than staying stuck in negative thought patterns and feeling unmotivated.

The routines and action plans are really great and helpful but the mood tracking doesn’t work at all. I was excited about this feature to have a better understanding of how my moods fluctuate throughout the week/month but I’ve had it say “looks like you’ve been in quite a good mood lately” when my last entry was miserable so it’s just really inaccurate and seems to be totally random. I think if that feature was fixed it would be more worth it but Shmoody is definitely not worth paying for as is.

I find everything I need in one place for my mental health while I work. I work a salary job where there’s much to do. The this app App has many features that cover my many mental health needs and the variety of tools it has gives me a better chance I’ll find something I need than bugging my busy coworkers or scrolling on Instagram for ideas. For example, this app has a feature with binaural tones that help me stay focused or calm throughout the day. Additionally, it includes a meditation feature with a variety of time durations so I can choose to collect and improve myself in my schedule between meetings. There’s so many more features, but you’ll just have to find out for yourself what there is to do! I’ve never seen a mental health app with this kind of variety!

i agreed to the free trial since it said it would warn me before charging me, and i thought it was cool they offered that since it's an app targeted for people with ADHD who would easily forget to cancel that kind of thing.

except it didn't warn me, and charged me without any notification.

felt kind of predatory and disappointed after that since it specifically advertises to people with memory issues, but decided since they already took my money i'd give Shmoody a really honest shot. unfortunately, i found it entirely unhelpful even when putting in the effort to try and use it consistently. the constant suggested routines are annoying, and it never saves the routines i set up manually. it's not really reasonable to set up the plan i want manually every single day after it erases it. Shmoody feels cluttered. no matter how often i tap "i don't want this feature" when it asks to access my health app, the suggestion doesn't go away. overall really bummed.

i have found multiple (free) apps that are much more helpful than this one

I am a psychotherapist and I love utilizing technology to help my clients find ways to help themselves through life. I’ve tried several different mental health related apps with similar features, and I think this will quickly become one of my favorites to recommend. I feel there are enough free features to make it worth a try, and I’m excited to see what is added in the future!

Shmoody has so much potential to be an amazing app, but has so many bugs and not fully functional features that it’s just not worth the very high price they charge. I love idea of Shmoody so much and would gladly pay the yearly subscription IF it actually worked well. But it’s like Shmoody is stuck in some kind of beta testing version — there are feature requests/bug reports listed inside Shmoody by other members, with absolutely no response from the developer. Features and bug fixes will be marked as “in progress” for months on end, with no fix or update actually pushed out. I’ve only been using Shmoody for a couple of days and am still in my trial period, but I am extremely disappointed in how poorly Shmoody functions. The features it offers are so innovative and are like no other app I’ve seen, but I just wish the developer would fix the glitchy issues and make the features function better so that Shmoody was actually usable. For example, when you create a routine and save your plan, you’re not able to edit the plan. It would be nice to add, delete, and drag-and-drop items in your saved plan, but you can’t. You have to delete the whole plan and start from scratch. Lots of other features don’t work, or glitch, or are cumbersome to use. It makes me really sad, as I really wanted Shmoody to work out. I likely won’t be subscribing, given all the issues, which is such a shame because Shmoody has such great potential.

Shmoody is a must. I had it earlier last year; but from then to now, lots of things has changed! It’s the best app for self care, mental care and emotional care!

No one knows how long how long I’ve been looking for an app that I can schedule self care! I magically opened this app and found that feature and my heart jumped with glee! For the whole month, not to focus on anything else but self care for the day… and to make it sweeter, you get a checklist seeing if you completed it and the widget is mind blowing. The goal feature is amazing! Tracking your goals by steps and and having other tools provided by Shmoody is awesome. Shmoody is a peace of mind. Do yourself a favor and download Shmoody! You will never regret it!

It is awesome to know that I can use Shmoody when I’m sad! I love it!!! Shmoody is my mini side kick. You can even talk to the this app cat! lol 😊.

Before support comments back I did try going through apples process 2 times both times it said Shmoody was “ineligible for refund”. I’m not trying to come off rude by any means but I did everything I was told. I went through app first, I emailed the support email left in the other reviews just to get a automated email saying to go to the help center on the website or use the chat bubble (which both said to contact Apple. I ended up getting the chat bubble to let me send a message.), I even waited a couple days with no response whatsoever from the team.

I didn’t use Shmoody past the first day, I thought I would but I didn’t. I have memory issues so I just forgot about it. Not to mention I never got a reminder email to cancel it. I believe it was a 3 day trial so I assume it was supposed to send in day 2. But I didn’t receive anything. I don’t know if it was my email or what but I never received anything, I checked multiple times and multiple inboxes. I just want my money back. I will delete this review and all if someone will just refund me. I don’t have money just laying around to be okay with losing 40$. So please someone just get back to me and help me get my money back. Thank you.

Side note: I did check all inboxes once more to verify I never got a response before sending this review.

I never write reviews but I love Shmoody so much I have to! Out of all the apps I’ve tried for anxiety and overall mood this one is by far the best! It’s designed really well and everything laid out perfectly making it easy to use. The little chat guru is very nice as well as the goals it sets and the calming music! I love that it adds the community option to provide support from others and to help people feel less alone in their battles. Another thing I love is how the subscription option doesn’t take away a lot of Shmoody like most other apps, you can still use it without paying for it and honestly it makes me want to get the subscription more than apps that do restrict most of their features. So overall amazing app for mental health!

Shmoody is amazing. I just started using it recently and it’s made me try to be more self aware of my negative thinking and it’s given a lot of other great advice already. The physical app, however is kinda flawed. On the iPhone 14 Pro the bottom of Shmoody is almost inaccessible at times and buttons/text get put on top of each other (ie. I can’t change the binaural beats to have music included, as the music bar is literally on top of the +music button.) it’s also made it hard to scroll and read to the bottom portion of paragraphs, sometimes it’s impossible. I’m missing a lottt of text and info when Shmoody doesn’t let me scroll. Other than those issues it’s a fantastic app and I may be the only one with those kinda issues

Hi! Im a ten year old that just dealt with depression. Ive been through a lot of trauma and i didnt know how to fix it. Im scared to ask for a therapist cause then my family would think im crazy. So i found Shmoody while looking for a mood tracker and planner. I found this and you can chat to a public community that would support you the whole way through your problems. Shmoody has a lot and helped me through a bunch of things. There is also an ai cat that you can chat with and vent to, which i think was genius

Actually a helpful app. The text helper is genius. It has a lot of great features to help you tack not only goals but things that make you happy(it’s called joy time on Shmoody ). It has a whole playlist of relaxing music and sounds that automatically plays while using Shmoody (you can keep it on even when not on Shmoody but can also turn it off as well). Like I said w the text helper, there’s basically a feature that allows you to plug in the person you’re messaging to, what you want to text them about, and the tone you want the message to be in. Really helpful when you are at a loss for words but still want to text someone back. It also has a chat guru thing where it has an ai advice giver that you can talk to for advice. There’s also a community section where people will post mental health related questions and stuff that’s nice because it’s honest and anonymous. From what I’ve seen, no one uses the community feature to post weird or disturbing stuff. It’s just a positive safe place to voice stuff. Rlly good app.

I have had Shmoody for a very short time, but so far it has helped encourage me. I do not have enough money to pay for a subscription, but there are still lots of things to help me in Shmoody . Not everything depends on a subscription, which is really comforting for a person who has never been able to have wellbeing apps like this because everything is off-limits to people who can’t afford subscriptions. Shmoody doesn’t over complicate things - it says it simply and has simple graphics as well. It isn’t too busy and is not overwhelming. Very helpful!

I don’t leave reviews BUT Therapy is super expensive 😅 and i’ve tried a lot of the latest apps. this one has been helping me to stay motivated to get the tasks on my check list done. (I struggle procrastinating) Love the option to log my moods so I can see my actual mood changes with BPD and even has a section where you can ask for advice, leave your thoughts, or chat or add friends! honestly if it came with a virtual pet that encourages you as you complete your daily tasks (also feed, dress it.. maybe decorate a little space for it?) it’d be one of the best apps out there in my humble opinion. wasn’t a fan of the background music until i came across the extended sound list. found one that I actually enjoy with vocals included. ❤️Day one of my free trail and i’m throughly impressed! that $40 for the year might just get purchased 🥹😂

In short: great AI chat, not a ton of overwhelming advice fired off at me (great for demand avoidance, doesn’t ’push’ you too much), uncluttered design, love that the AI is a cat, actually has a lot of good tools and tasks that are helpful and aesthetically designed.

I got this advertisement on my feed for this app and I felt like it was gonna be just another ADHD/ depression app like calm or moodkit, but I’m actually fairly impressed despite myself. I have to say I downloaded it to prove it wrong and then I had a convo with Guru cat that made me cry so…. It is helping, so far.
I think it was nice to talk to someone who isn’t a person but still showed compassion. Also, unlike other bots it kept track of what I said in previous messages and brought it up later to make sense of what was going on with my thought patterns.
I was gonna ghost it after the free trial…. Now I’m not so sure. I think I’ll keep it for now.

I’ve been going through a lot lately and feeling stuck. Calming apps don’t usually work for me but this one looked different. Shmoody is perfect for the mental health community I tend to go nonverbal and have no energy but Shmoody lets me click options for how I feel without using any energy and honestly I feel it’s one of the best features that being said all the features are awesome for all types of mental health habits/needs, because it offers suggestions to help process what you need or feel which no app has done before. I hope Shmoody gets recognition it deserves because whenever I feel alone or stuck I can rely on Shmoody to help me and I hope more people who need this support find Shmoody to help them.
