AWARENESS App Reviews

Even experienced practitioners of mindfulness can appreciate this app. I am pretty good at periodically stopping and "checking in" with my body and emotions. However, this app makes the process even more mindful in that it can catch me at times when I need to check in, such as times of stress at work. It may seem that some of the videos and quotes are a little hokey -- I actually like them. In the moment youre checking your body and emotions, you often need a little nudge -- either to change the emotion or to remind you to revel in your good mood. This app is great for this. I havent analyzed my results but appreciate that it keeps track of your emotions. To me, the biggest selling point of this app is to continually remind you to check in and change your thoughts/moods/etc if you want to. My only qualm with the program is that it will sometimes "gong" at me to check in just moments after completing the last check-in. The check-in reminders dont seem to come regularly throughout the day but in groups of 2-3 back to back which is a little annoying. Other than that, Id give this a 5-star rating. To be clear, this is a good tool for people who understand the mindfulness process and who know what to do when you "check-in."

Great App that has helped with my anxiety. I wish there were more reports than just the pie chart so you could see what activities and what times of day cause certain emotions. It would also be great to have more quotes as I keep seeing many of them over and over.

I made this purchase without reading the prior review. Im having the same problem with the app immediately closing!!! What is going on?

On the website, it says you can add categories for each activity but this does not work with my version. The categories listed are frustratingly limited and dont fit my interpretation. Great for the person who designed it I guess, but not for me or probably others. Very limited without option to edit though it says you should be able to do so. What a waste of my money. And I dont want to spend hours trying to figure it out and get it corrected. I should not have to do this.

Not optimized for retina display. Would like to see some more robust analytics, other ways of looking at the data, and reports. A really great idea and I hope they keep developing it because it has the potential to be a remarkable tool.

Easy to use and a great way to keep track of your current emotional state. Best tool I use to practice awareness and aid in self-acceptance.

I’m truly sorry to write this review as I had high hopes for this app, particularly given the number of positive comments. But it only supports portrait mode and when receiving the alert in another app and following to awareness you’re converted to portrait mode, then returning to whatever app you were in you have to giggle back to landscape. This is such poor integration, imo, particularly for an app’s that’s purpose is to “notify” you multiple times a day, even at the starting notification level of 5 its annoying. Not possible to use for training “awareness” - cause I just won’t use it. And the actual app functionality is limited, you merely click drop down lists - no way to record what is triggering the emotion - feelings are normal, without context I see little value of tracking. So it gives some nice “quotes” and reminds one to breath, all good but frankly I could set a reminder to do that, and, lol, I find my “emotion” is consistently annoyed from using it.
