Conceived in conjunction with Yale University's Center for Emotional Intelligence and based on the work of Dr Marc Brackett, How We Feel helps people find the right word to describe how they feel while tracking their sleep, exercise, and health trends using HealthKit in order to spot patterns over time. Founded as a science-based nonprofit, How We Feel is made possible by donations from people who are passionate about bringing mental wellbeing to the widest possible audience. Our data privacy terms are clear and easy-to-understand: all of your data is kept on your device unless you opt-in to send an anonymized version of your check-ins to be used in research to help more people. Whether you are downloading this app in order to build better relationships, make your emotions to work for you, not against you, improve how you handle stress and anxiety or simply to feel better, How We Feel will help you identify patterns through daily HealthKit tracking and find emotional regulation strategies that will work for you. The How We Feel friends feature allows you to share how you feel with the people you trust most in real time, strengthening your most important relationships. Filled with step-by-step video strategies you can do in as little as one minute on themes like "Change Your Thinking" to help you address negative thought patterns with cognitive strategies; "Move Your Body" to express and release emotions through movement strategies;"Be Mindful" to gain perspective and minimize the negative impact of misunderstood emotions with mindfulness strategies; "Reach Out" to build intimacy and trust, two important tools for emotional wellbeing, with social strategies. ## How We Feel Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/e7/4a/04/e74a0480-5cd6-69c9-ebcc-06b61db56d58/df9bd7d9-ab7a-4181-87c5-d9c539e6ab9b_Final-Screenshot-6.5.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/57/80/6f/57806f3f-2087-2cb8-99f0-15107e1663ff/9d45fa7c-d469-4cd9-a172-76585375d470_HWF-6-5in-Screen-3-v9.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/43/83/1a/43831ac4-7480-8c44-d69c-61118f563fff/dfbb2615-67bc-4f1e-b10d-e560a1ab3013_HWF-6-5in-Screen-4-v9.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/15/6f/0c/156f0c4d-5ae4-7821-864c-846c7c726a31/83494892-c604-4893-98c1-02d0cb99b7fb_HWF-6-5in-Screen-5-v9.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/80/0f/04/800f045e-6633-3683-02d1-9c86bdd2d8a1/e3caf9b7-be6e-4aae-ac3d-17f29f9f0373_HWF-6-5in-Screen-6-v9.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/7c/31/49/7c3149a3-67b6-037f-f52a-42e3e10212fd/ad54c657-99a9-4f5b-9bd3-b412d40efcc3_HWF-6-5in-Screen-7-v9.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/76/71/1f/76711f77-f5ba-fb93-eb6a-cfb851f4bdc6/4f7660f4-d46e-4f39-abb6-b50251fe4095_HWF-6-5in-Screen-8-v9.png/1284x2778.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/b5/b1/97/b5b1977c-4a6d-52f0-0fd4-3786fee3a31b/e6cc18b4-190d-4e9f-a81d-c15e2df3a778_HWF-6-5in-Screen-9-v9.png/1284x2778.png) ## How We Feel Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 25,095 (90%) - 4 stars: 1,947 (7%) - 3 stars: 467 (2%) - 2 stars: 90 (0%) - 1 stars: 136 (0%) ## How We Feel Reviews in United States ### ***** "Life Changing" There is scientific evidence that people with depressive disorders often intellectually know that we were happy in the past, but we have trouble remembering concrete examples & remembering what we did to feel better during bad times. I’ve never been able to maintain a journaling habit, but this app has been perfect for me. And what has shocked me is how often I’ve been happy! When I look back at the last 202 days of entries, I see far more positive emotions than I would expect! I’ve recommended this app to friends, both my parents, a guy while we were waiting to cross the street, my doctor (who is now recommending it to her patients), and countless waiters and baristas. It has changed my life. I do have a few suggestions though: 1) It would be nice to be able to add custom emotions 2) On the page with all of the emotions, I'd like to sort them by theme. For example, if I'm looking through the yellows and I see amazed, but the description doesn't quite fit, I'd like to see similar emotions to find the one I'm looking for (like on the main page) instead of having to go through all of the yellows. 3) As a data nerd, I'd really like to be able to download my data as a CSV file and not just a PDF, although the PDDs are gorgeous & I do download them. Anyway, if you're still reading, this app is amazing & has changed my life. You should definitely download it! And if anyone from the HWF team sees this & you're looking for users to be involved in future development, please contact me. I would absolutely love to be involved. ❤️ -- emilyinarlington, 2025-02-06 ### ***** "Surprisingly pleasant to use" Features are what I originally needed, and there’s so much more to the app that adds a nuanced full feature set. Great work! -- dextr7777, 2025-02-05 ### ***** "Mood Journal" Been using this app for several days and as of this moment would highly recommend. There are tools and features I haven’t even explored yet. This app seems very robust! -- 020126, 2025-02-04 ### ***** "Лучшее приложение, вне конкуренции" Хочу похвалить невероятной красоты и выразительности дизайн, который очень располагает , а также он невероятно удобен в использовании. Функции этого приложения - это что-то, спасибо разработчикам за такое сокровище, мое состояние уже становится лучше только от использования этого приложения -- Soelizamaybe, 2025-02-04 ### ***** "Great App" I really enjoy this app. It allows you to have time with your emotions that you don’t always want to share. You can journal away on this app! Very well designed. 😃🙌🏽 -- DrDLT, 2025-02-04 ### ***** "Extraordinary app" My therapist told me about this app! It is a simple way to document your feelings. It does not take a lot of time, and surprisingly, it is completely free! It has an extraordinary amount of feelings to choose from. This helps me with knowing what I am feeling, as well as expanding my vocabulary of feeling words. I especially like that I can add a journal entry if I want to, and there is no limitation to words. At least not that I found so far, and I can get long-winded! The final thing I will mention is that I like that I can document where and what I am doing at the time I am feeling those feelings. I can use their prompts or add my own. I would recommend this app if you struggle with or just want to document your feelings as quickly or as detailed as you like. -- LisaMJenRoot, 2025-02-03 ### ***** "Best app ever" Cant imagine my life without without this, it helps with self awareness -- Obezzy23, 2025-02-03 ### ***** "SuperStar Caregiver" Why have I not found this sooner! Amazing and the feedback is spot on. -- Zombeebug3, 2025-02-01 ### ***** "Love it!!" This app is making me smile everyday and helping me get my mind off of things. I'm pretty sure I'll die without this app. Get this app! -- SnowSesame, 2025-02-01 ### ****- "tiny suggestion" I love love love this app. It’s quick and easy to use, like a little journal on the go. I only wish you could add more emotions instead only being able to do two. I also think it would benefit from a calendar or similar system to easily find older check ins. -- mxxngoddess, 2025-02-01 ### ***** "THIS IS GENIUS!!! PLEASE READ!!!" This is probably the most important review! I know it’s long, but take the time! It’s worth reading. I was born with High Functioning Autism and I’ve been experiencing difficulties on controlling my emotions and it would affect my lifestyle and was not motivated to enjoy it. I’ve spent an awful long time trying to find something that would help me become more motivated and mentally improve myself to a point where I would enjoy life and handle situations better and I was afraid I wasn’t able to find an answer until I got mentioned to this app and I never wanted anything to do with AI because I wasn’t interested in it more so… but I’m glad I didn’t miss out on this and thought it wouldn’t hurt to try it out. This company who made this app deserves SO MUCH appreciation! I’ve only used it for one day and forgive me for leaving this review so early but how I feel about this based on how quickly I was attracted to it made me feel confident that I found something that works better for me. Now will it work right away? No. Will it work every single day? No. Will it work for every single person. No Unless you give it some time, really process the information, and use it to its purpose and advantage, I’m confident there’s a huge chance it will help so many people! There are so many benefits than you realize with the power of AI, just use it for its purpose instead of abusing it, it doesn’t recognize honesty and ignorance when you do. I don’t know any detail on the scary things that’s has happened involving AI or whether it’s believable or not, but the chances of that happening through this app is doubtful if you use it for its purpose and the reason being is, they only focus on your emotions and the many opportunities you have to improve yourself. AI automatically sends in certain questions based on only the few ideas on how your feeling and what your doing at this point in time. If you still don’t trust it, starting off slow is the best way to gain trust. The concept of how this works is 100% safe in my point of view Plus, I can tell straight up the more I use it, the more attracted I get to it, and that gains so much confidence in enjoying life. The point being why I made this review even though this is day one. I have some sort of unexplainable feeling towards this app…It’s weird when it’s day 1, but I think it’s because people should realize there are options out there for those who are or who want to give up looking for solutions to enjoy life. Take as -- Loyal Cheesehead, 2025-01-30 ### ***** "10/10" i LOVE this app. it’s very helpful and NO ADDS. it really helps me keep track of my emotions and when/where/who i’m with when i typically have them. highly recommend -- quantum_, 2025-01-30 ### ***** "i am in love with whoever made this app" this app has almost everything you need to take care of your mental health, from journaling to recording moods to self-care exercises (guided by real therapists!) to breathing exercises, and even sound patterns to play with! i can't get over how beautifully the app is designed too. and it barely takes up any space in my storage! please get this app it's just genuinely pleasant to use, completely free with no ads -- delicious mango sago, 2025-01-29 ### ***** "Great app" It helps a lot -- Lenzy cannon, 2025-01-27 ### ***** "so good" genuinely my favorite app lately. it’s such a good way for me to get out feelings i don’t want anyone else to know, once i write them here i can just let them go and it helps so much. also has tools to help with daily life -- Layla Haberman, 2025-01-27 ### ***** "Surprisingly Helpful" This is a great way to not only track your feelings for data purposes, but it also gives you language for new emotions. And it’s free, no strings attached. -- nononoyes, 2025-01-26 ### ***** "Very impressed" I’m very impressed at the production value, user interface, and quality of lessons! And for free! Thank you for making this -- nolaa88, 2025-01-25 ### ***** "Life changing!" This app is a game changer and I recommend it whether you are struggling with mental health or just looking to improve your emotional intelligence and wellness. It’s intuitive and easy to use. I especially love the AI feature that asks the tough questions to help you reflect and learn more about yourself. This has helped so much in my personal and professional life. 10/10 recommend ❤️ -- Irespondtoallofthethings, 2025-01-24 ### ***** "Essential app for anyone" One of my very favorite tools -- Brunoôöòóœøōõ, 2025-01-24 ### ***** "I LOVE IT! and suggestion?" This is the best app for emotional wellbeing journal. I really enjoy it. There’s a lot of feelings with description (and helps me to learn some words heh). Also here’s my suggestion: add Apple Watch support (like state of mind in mindfulness app). It will be convenient when I don't have access to my phone. -- VERMILONICS, 2025-01-24 [View all How We Feel reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## How We Feel Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | Ireland | Health Fitness | #226 | | Top Free | United States | Health Fitness | #233 | | Top Free | Australia | Health Fitness | #246 | | Top Free | Canada | Health Fitness | #278 | | Top Free | Switzerland | Health Fitness | #326 | | Top Free | Netherlands | Health Fitness | #335 | | Top Free | New Zealand | Health Fitness | #354 | | Top Free | Dominican Republic | Health Fitness | #374 | | Top Free | Poland | Health Fitness | #419 | | Top Free | Romania | Health Fitness | #420 | | Top Free | Singapore | Health Fitness | #428 | | Top Free | Malaysia | Health Fitness | #434 | | Top Free | Mexico | Health Fitness | #438 | | Top Free | South Africa | Health Fitness | #459 | | Top Free | Hong Kong SAR China | Health Fitness | #463 | | Top Free | United Kingdom | Health Fitness | #492 | ## How We Feel Discovered Keywords -
