Plenty of others working on this problem. These spring to mind as I've met founders: http://www.moodscope.com/login http://www.umotif.com/ http://moodpanda.com/

I've also used mappiness (mentioned below) and found that the best. But after 6 weeks I was not learning anything new so stopped using it. This is a common experience for people using these apps: As I've heard it at London QS meetups (I'm a founding member).

Still awaiting an app that nails it. I'm giving it whirl. Good luck!

Agree with this.

I measured my mood twice a day for 2 months using a similar app on Android. I tracked 10 variables on a +/-10 point scale I think (excitement, contentment, anxiety, etc.)

Turns out my mood just oscillates around a baseline of about 7/10 pretty much irrespective of what's going on in my life.

It was an interesting experiment but I didn't see the point carrying on doing it long term.
