Review summary

Users appreciate Happyfeed's simplicity, helpfulness in fostering gratitude, and nice visual design. However, multiple reviews highlight frustrations with limited ability to edit or add past days beyond a few days, photo cropping and access issues, occasional crashes, lack of a calendar view, and social features that need improvement. The app is recommended overall but would benefit significantly from enhancements in navigation, photo handling, and stability.

Pros

Simple and user-friendly interface that makes daily journaling quick and easy.
Helpful for improving mental outlook and gratitude by reminding users to focus on positive moments.
Ability to add photos and custom emojis enhances the journaling experience.
The app is visually appealing with clean and delightful design.
Developer is responsive and provides good customer support.

Cons

Limited ability to add or edit past entries beyond a few days, which frustrates users wanting to record older memories.
Photo handling issues such as cropping problems, inability to upload full pictures, and difficulty accessing photos from within the app.
Bugs causing crashes when creating or posting entries and issues with notification timing or reminders.
Lack of calendar or easier navigation features to view past entries efficiently.
Limited social interaction features within pods and difficulty creating or managing pods properly.

2025-01-27	ti*****	I'm really liking the app. It's helping me remember the good times when I'm feeling down but there is one downside. I don't take pictures everyday so I've been going through the pictures on my phone but it doesn't always let me upload the full picture which is annoying. Otherwise great app

2025-01-03	As*****	I really like this app. I found it to be super helpful and I love being able to add photos to my entries. It's really great to mark special days with a custom emoji. My only qualm is that I can't access any photos I take from within the app itself without going each entry and downloading them. Without the paid version, I have to shuffle my monthly recap until I see the photo I want. Photos taken in the app should be stored such that the user can access them from outside of the app

2024-11-21	Sa*****	please make it possible to go further back than just 3 days, I just found this and would love to use it as a way to look back on my daughter growing up day by day but she's almost 5 months old already

2024-11-04	me*****	It's a good app .very simple to use and without too much details wich is satisfying . but I can't write down more than about 10 lines in each day and it's frustrating because I really wanna use this app .I don't know It's only my problem or it's a part of the app

2024-11-03	Be*****	Can't seem to change the time so the notifications don't arrive appropriately. But... otherwise, a fantastic app! Great for keeping you accountable, making sure you are looking for joy as document it! Highly recommended!

2024-07-30	Mo*****	I remember I liked this app, and I'd like to like it again, but I can't create a new account because my email has already been used, and I can't recover the password to my old account because I never receive an email no matter how many times I try. I'd really like to start a new account, so if the developer could please reach out and help me, I'd really appreciate it. Edit: same day response from the developer, and they were able to reset my account within a few hours. Very grateful!

2024-03-11	Me*****	I would like to be able to transfer/move posts from one day to another if possible. It keeps crashing on me when i make a post. I have to load it three times for it to go through, VERY ANNOYING. The colors are pasty and dull. Id like bolder blacks Reds, Greens & blues. It would be nice if the whole cropped photo was seen whenever the post comes up. Everytime it zooms into a photo the part I want to see isnt shown. Again, very annoying. Also, please consider changing the name to something cooler.

2024-03-05	Ka*****	I really like Happyfeed! I have noticed a positive change in my outlook after starting. However, the app is not user friendly. Also, the commenting is completely crazy. I've been in pods with people for two years, some of them can comment on my entries but I can't comment on theirs?? I can only comment on one person from my pod. I would like to be able to interact with my pods more, but it's totally random on who I am able to interact with. it's annoying.

2022-09-29	Ho*****	Love the app! I think the premium subscription is worth it. It would be nice if this app had a homescreen widget. Another good feature would be a score that goes up every time you add an entry, that way you can still feel good when opening the app, even if you broke your streak.
