• What is Mood Circle?

    Mood Circle is an app for recording and reflecting on your mood. You can choose one of five colours to represent how you feel. Mood Circle can be used as a simple diary application, or to track other aspects of your self.

  • Can I record multiple moods per day?

    No. The most recently recorded mood replaces any previous ones, until the following day.

  • Can I save notes without selecting a mood?

    Yes.

  • Does changing a mood affect my notes?

    No.

  • Can I change past moods and notes?

    By default, only the current day’s moods and notes may be edited. It is possible to widen this window to include the past week, month or year by navigating to Settings > Mood Circle > Allow Editing. Note that Mood Circle is intended as a reflective tool, rather than a general purpose diary.

  • Why is it asking for my location?

    Mood Circle will, if you enable Location Services, save your last location along with your mood recording. If you wish to disable this, navigate to Settings > Mood Circle > Location > Never.

  • What data is stored?

    For each day you make a mood recording, the following information is stored: the current date and time; the mood selection itself; any notes you make; and, if location services are enabled for the app, your location information as reported by your device.

  • Where is my data stored?

    Your data is stored on your device and is automatically backed up to iCloud if you have an iCloud account. This allows you to share your mood recordings across iOS devices, and restore them in case of a lost or damaged device. Your data is not shared with any third parties, except to the extent necessary to back it up to iCloud. See the privacy policy for more information.

  • How can I delete my data?

    Mood recordings can be deleted by selecting a day in the History tab, and clicking the Delete button in the top right hand corner. iPad users can also do this from the Journal tab.


    You can delete all your mood recordings by navigating to Settings > Mood Circle > Reset. The next time you start the app, you will be asked if you wish to delete all your data. If you proceed, all mood recordings will be deleted from your device. This action cannot be undone. You should do this on all devices on which you have installed the app.

  • How can I disable backing up to iCloud?

    Navigate to Settings > iCloud and deselect Mood Circle. If you wish to delete your information in iCloud, you will need to reset the app first, as described above.

  • Why can’t I scroll back in the History tab?

    The history tab begins when the first mood recording was made, or on the first editable date, whichever is earlier.

  • Can I undo my changes?

    If the Mood tab is selected, you can reset the mood by shaking your device. If notes are being edited, shaking will allow you to undo your changes to the last saved version.

  • Can I change the number of moods or colours, or add categories of moods?

    Not at present.

  • Can I add images or other information to my notes?

    Not at present.
