Happyness - App Review



What makes you smile?

Would you like to smile more often?

This App could well be just what you need.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
The interface is simple; choose from one of 6 colour coded icons that best describes your current mood.

This brings up a text box where you can enter some notes, together with three options:

Tick - this saves the entry as you see it at the moment
X - this does not save the last modification you made
Delete entry - self explanatory, and subject to user confirmation.

These notes are automatically saved to a calendar, where you can easily retrieve the information for any given day.

Another screen allows you to view a weekly, monthly, or all-time trend, as well as daily averages.

You can set up push notifications that will remind you to make an entry at any given time.

There is also a You Tube Video which will not only explain but make you smile as well...

Cost
The App costs a token $1.

Indispensability
Anything that reminds you of good times can only make you happier; your choice.

Dependability
The App works, although, as it is new, has not been tested over a long period of time. There is, however, no reason to expect anything but continuing reliability.

Security
This is a self contained App so without prima facie issues.

ACIDS Test Rating:

Happiness + Reminders = Happyness
