Hi, I'm working on How We Feel. I'm eager to make it more useful. If there is anyone on this thread interested in helping, please send a note to ben@howwefeel.org.

So far, I've learned that the biggest benefit of mood tracking is the process of tracking: taking a moment to reflect on how you feel, name the emotion, and think about why you feel the way you do. The next big opportunity is to teach people effective strategies for dealing with their emotions in a healthy way (even if that just means accepting the emotion without judgement).

As an aside, I also loved my Pebble and physical buttons :D

Hey thanks for work on the app! Is there any possibility of translating the app to different languages? I can drop a note to email if you want, since as I understand you are based on Yale's Mood Meter - https://moodmeterapp.com/science/ - it might have some more or less official translations in some languages.
Yes, we will do translations in the future!
I recently discovered How We Feel so I just wanted to thank you for your work. I really enjoy using the app!

I found a small bug in the analyze tab though. If you look at e.g. weekly and select a tab that is not the left most one, then scroll down, then tap the top of the display (the universal scroll to the top feature of iOS), the content disappears.

Thanks for finding this bug. We'll get it fixed soon.
