Happyfeed: Gratitude Journal

I love this app. So easy to use. I tend to complete it before I go to sleep, and I take photos of things throughout the day to include that I call Glimmers .. I.e. little or big things that make me smile or feel happy. I’ve used it all year, every day without fail and it’s helped me to find the good even in what I feel are bad days .. I use the free version and it’s got everything I need ❤️

I love the Happyfeed app, it's really clean and simple and makes me smile every day, reminding me that on the whole life is happy!

It’s helping me think of positivity whilst I go through some major challenges. Totally recommend.

Have been using Happyfeed for years and I love it! Makes me grateful for the lovely moments I can always reflect on in my day. I love comparing same day with different years.

I do have one thing I don’t like. I’d like to be able to scroll through more days than just 4. It’s a little annoying having to click on each day to see it. I like just going back through the days to see what I posted. Other than that the app is excellent and would have been 5 stars if it wasn’t for the limit on the days you can scroll through.

This app is brilliant. It really helps me reflect on my days which is so important in what feels like such a fast moving life! It’s simple to use and I love how I can peruse my old entries in an Instagram style format.

This is my third time trying to use this app. I find it overly complicated and ‘cumbersome’ to use. There are 4 tabs at the bottom and each tab has more aspects within its own page. It takes a while to navigate it all before finding the bit you want. When I go to my account, I then have to tap on something else to show my profile and then, when I get there, it doesn’t really show anything of note, and I have to tap on something else to ‘manage followers’…yet it could all be on the same page. ‘Reflect’ and ‘Moments’ could be incorporated. There are two types of speech bubble; one for prompts for reflections, one for notifications. Not all of my notifications show, with just a blank strip amongst other comments/reactions. I have no way of knowing if I have even read/seen them all because they don’t visibly change ie from bold to normal (like an unread - read email), or a change in colour etc. The worst aspect, for me, is that I have to belong to a pod just to be-able to see posts by people I know. Surely, there could be a way of just seeing people you follow without being in specific pod. There is a ‘follows only’ option in ‘pods’…yet you can’t see new posts unless you are also in the pod they shared that post to. To me, if someone has accepted your follow request, they are happy for you to follow them (ie see the posts they make). I actually find it quite mind-boggling, and a tad infuriating, to have to jump through so many hoops so I don’t lose touch with people I knew in a different app (where you could easily just see posts from people you followed). This app really could be a little gem but it’s far too fiddly. My friends must think I’m doing the hokey cokey because I’m ‘in’ and then I’m ‘out’ but, to be honest, ‘shake it all about’ is something I would love to do to this app. It could be so, SO good. I want to like it, I really do, but I just can’t.

Grateful to have downloaded happy feed years ago and I still add photos now and again. Its amazing to look back at some of my best moments 💖✨

Having pods makes it even easier to capture happy moments/gratitude as you are spurred on by others when they post something.

I’m on a 303 day streak of using the app, and it’s such a good thing. The benefits of having a gratitude practice have been recorded in scientific research, and using the app allows me to record small moments of joy in my day. I love that I can look back and see my journey. Even if you find it hard to stick with things, this is simple and you can do it.
