How app is based on research:

- Keeping a gratitude journal is a great way to ensure that you realize how wonderful your life really is. Studies have shown that gratitude journals increase your happiness.
*Here's a reference from the fine folks at Harvard: http://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/giving-thanks-can-make-you-happier

- Smiling more will make you happy! Even if it's forced at first, you'll soon be realizing that it will come more natural and be easier to do.

- Rating your current level of happiness could make you more mindful of it which has the potential to make you happier since it's on your mind. This feature is also very useful for helping you track progress. More research is needed in this area to determine long term benefits.

Some reminder features:

- Allow for randomness. You don't want to always smile at 3pm, let's try to mix it up a bit.
- Specify time ranges. No point getting a reminder to rate your happiness if you are already asleep.
- Specify exact times so you can write your grateful things on your schedule. Try in the morning.

Ratings and reviews

Nice, uncluttered app without paragraphs of instructions for features I'd never use. And without crazy ads. It functions well and never crashes. At first, it looked too simple for me. Then I realized that other apps stress me out so badly that I just give up on using them. This app's usefulness becomes apparent with time.

I get all of the reminders when I remember to open the app myself. That was one of the main reasons I installed this app, was so that I would hopefully get reminders throughout the day and they'd occasionally come at just the right time, as I'm slipping into seasonal depression, and often need reminders that there is positivity.. but I get flooded with notifications to smile, be grateful etc... I think I like what the app is about, I just really really want the reminders.

My only complaint is that the reminders do not remind until I open the app on my own. I have played with settings and permission many times to no avail. The app is great for all the things it does but comes up short on that one kinda important thing. Really great app though!
