iMoodJournal

iMoodJournal is a mood journal app aimed at tracking users’ moods and giving them a way to analyze their mood trends over time. When users first enter the program, a short tutorial guides them through the different features. Then, they are directed to rate their current mood on a 10-point scale (from “insanely great” to “couldn’t be worse”). They are also asked to add a text description with # (tags) for the various moods and surrounding elements (e.g., #happy, #friends). When they type the #, a drop-down menu appears containing a large selection of moods and other characteristics (events, people, places etc.) from which to choose. It is possible to add a photo, self-taken/from a library.   The information is then saved and presented as a graph. Over time, once a sufficient amount of information has been gathered, additional graphs and tables summarize the users’ mood and activity entries and present the information according to time periods. Additional features include customizable reminders, the ability to add photos to the journal logs, and the option to export the log history to PD.
