I really would love to give ReWi more stars, but it isn’t working. I am stuck on the sign in screen trying to get in and it just simply closes. Funny thing too was that it worked the first time and I was able to print out my work book for this course, but today it’s a no go. I was looking forward to having the helper and the other features that it offers. I’m sure it’s a five star app when working.
Please check and see if there is a glitch that can be fixed. Thanks and look forward to using it when it is working.

ReWi doesn’t show up in the I-Pad App Store, which is not at all cool. It says to me that you went to market without testing the very component/conduit you claim distinguishes your program - the experiential ‘doing’ part. It diminishes your credibility and, I suspect, your revenue. Even a T A should have tried ReWi signup and functionality to get all the kinks out first. If it requires 3-5 different tasks just to activate the function, through Google or FB, then I’m done with this. I deleted it seconds after downloading it.

I would like to use ReWi but I do not want to give FB or Google access to my data. Those are the only two options to sign in. They are both untrustworthy. Unfortunately, I cannot use ReWi until I can sign in without sharing personal info with companies that want to profit from it.
I find this extremely disappointing & immoral considering the exploitation of personal data that is ongoing with these two companies.

Don’t understand why we can’t just use an email to create an account to store our data why does it have to be tied to FB or google?Anonymous doesn’t allow you to save/ see if you happen to have to delete ReWi . Don’t want my info shared with the mega giants! Happy to share with the research entity, but aligning yourself with FB and Google feels unauthentic to this process.

I wish I had read the reviews before I downloaded it. I got this to use with the Coursera course, but it doesn’t transfer any data. I signed in with my Google account, so now I’m concerned that it’s just combed through all my data and didn’t even do what it was supposed to do. I guess that IS what it’s supposed to do, just not what is advertised 🤷🏻♀️

I was all ready to try this bit requires you login with either Facebook or Google. I refuse use those logins for anything other than Facebook or Google services. Please add separate login or better yet remove the need for a login. Why do even need an account to track something on my phone unless the entire purpose is to get my data?

It looks like ReWi wants me to answer demographic info. That’s fine, but the print on my phone is so large I can only see part of the screen. I also am on able to scroll beyond these pages. So I can either get to the point of submitting demographic data, nor can I actually use ReWi

First of all, thank you for creating this platform as a support for the course! I look forward to seeing it evolve/improve in future updates.
I would suggest enhancing the goal section so it is easier to track and document achievements. (Maybe it’s in here and i’ve missed the point?)
Definitely agree with others that something other than Google/FB login is preferred. I used gmail since I still have that account but am gradually moving away from it over time. FB account already got nuked months ago.
Good luck and thanks again for all the efforts to spread happiness and gratitude in the world! 😊

I can not evaluate this product properly as it requires either a Facebook or Google account to log in. I am a face of the Coursera course and would have like to use ReWi , but the social media requirements means I will not be able to use ReWi .

I was put off by the dualism of choosing either Google or Facebook to create an account. So I went to their website and used my coursera account instead. Worked fine. Will update as I continue the course.

Check your font size settings if you get stuck. It they are too large you won’t be able to access the buttons to continue.
I shrunk my phone font and everything worked fine afterwards.

Looks like a lot of the problems with ReWi have been fixed now. Thank up for adding the anonymous login. You should reset the ratings so ReWi doesn’t keep all the bad reviews it launched with
by Kevin L7
Good overall app and in line with what I would expect. I think the hateful reviews may need to get through the happiness course and revisit. I’m also not on the oh so popular privacy bandwagon, so I don’t have any issues with the log in requirements :).

I use ReWi just for tracking my activity, and ReWi works perfectly for that purpose. Happiness level test also helps, though it cannot store the test date properly.

ReWi has worked great on my iPhone. I am using it in conjunction with the Yale wellness class on Coursera. I love being able to see my bar graph everyday and it keeps me motivated to check off all my happiness “to-dos.”

ReWi works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or Contact Support.
Laurie Santos’ wellness course, taught at Yale University as a semester-long course (“Psychology and the Good Life”) and online as a Coursera course (“The Science of Well-Being”).
Beyond merely tracking activities, you can even practice several activities on the app itself such as listening to meditation tracks and visualizing effective goal setting with a rotation of prompts.
While there are many existing wellness-related tracking apps out there, ReWi houses all the course-specific wellness activities all in one interface.
The course team designed ReWi with the hope of facilitating positive behavior change.
These include sleep, exercise, meditation, goal setting, gratitude, kindness, social connection, and savoring.
You can choose to log responses for any of the wellness activities at any given time on a daily basis.
All of these practices are based on psychological research suggesting that increasing these practices can lead to increased happiness.
Please be aware that app usage data may be used for empirical research and you will be asked to give consent within the onboarding screens of the app.
The app allows you to track eight activities that are known to promote well-being.
The more you log, the more likely it is that you will establish long-term change! Logging becomes easier the more you do it.
Consent is completely optional and you can use the app without opting in to research.
