Feelsom: Wellness Tracker

Ugh. Great concept, but it takes way too long to enter data and the chat is just wasted time. Maybe it’s good if you are lonely or bored? I’m not. And I am busy and don’t have time for this non sense.

All I wanted is a place to track mealtimes and sleep schedules. Instead I got a very annoying interactive chat that cannot be stopped. You have to reply or it keeps control of the app. No thanks!

Ignore the other review. If I wanted an app that had no personality and was just data entry, I would choose one of the hundred others out there. This app is perfect because it’s fun and funny and feels like I’m chatting a real person my stats. That motivates me to keep using it where I fell off all the other data entry apps I tried. Even on bad days, the funny memes and goofy interactions make me smile. The responses take barely a second to reply, so no real delay. The only suggestion is an alcohol beverage option. I’d love to also track my drinking habits too. Can’t wait for the “coming soon” tabs to go active! Thanks Feelsom!!

Overall, a really great app that I need in my life. I like how the bot prompts me to enter health info and gives me options to choose from so I don’t need to type things or think that much. I also like how the app allows me to view what was tracked in a beautiful UI. At first, I appreciated how the bot’s messages were presented like the bot was an actual person (using gifs, different text, more casual words/jokes, responding like a real person), but to be honest it got really annoying and eventually made the app less efficient to use. Having to wait for the bot to “type” a response in order to move on and seeing gifs and other messages that are just the bot’s reaction/things that aren’t that relevant (e.g. jokes, the bot responding to itself, etc.) added clutter and I found myself getting impatient and not wanting to use the app anymore. I also thought the use of a variety of wording to ask the same thing that is going to be tracked turned out to be confusing and caused it to take longer to enter tracking information. Sometimes the presentation of the options for a specific tracking metric was inconsistent (e.g. how many hours you slept), making the selecting an option process longer and harder. I would prefer if the bot was more of an automated tracking helper that uses the same wording in its prompts and provides short encouragements/responses only after I’m done entering information. Personally, I just need a bot to automate tracking my health/daily habits easily and quickly, not a “friendly” bot that responds to almost every information I enter. Pros: - reminds you to track information at customizable times - automatically asks for relevant health tracking information - provides options to choose from so you don’t need to type - provides nice visuals of entered information by category and time range Cons: - need to wait for bot to respond - a lot of extra messages from bot (e.g. intros, responses) - inconsistent wording - inconsistent presentation of option choices - inability to edit entered information
