Description

How We Feel is a free app created by scientists, designers, engineers, and therapists to help people better understand their emotions and find strategies to help them navigate their emotions in the moment. Conceived in conjunction with Yale University’s Center for Emotional Intelligence and based on the work of Dr Marc Brackett, How We Feel helps people find the right word to describe how they feel while tracking their sleep, exercise, and health trends in order to spot patterns over time.

Founded as a science-based nonprofit, How We Feel is made possible by donations from people who are passionate about bringing mental wellbeing to the widest possible audience. Our data privacy policy puts you in control of how your data is stored and shared. Data is stored on your device unless you choose to send your data to an alternative storage solution.

Whether you are downloading this app in order to build better relationships, make your emotions to work for you, not against you, improve how you handle stress and anxiety or simply to feel better, How We Feel will help you identify patterns and find emotional regulation strategies that will work for you. The How We Feel friends feature allows you to share how you feel with the people you trust most in real time, strengthening your most important relationships.
Filled with step-by-step video strategies you can do in as little as one minute on themes like “Change Your Thinking” to help you address negative thought patterns with cognitive strategies; “Move Your Body” to express and release emotions through movement strategies; “Be Mindful” to gain perspective and minimize the negative impact of misunderstood emotions with mindfulness strategies; “Reach Out” to build intimacy and trust, two important tools for emotional wellbeing, with social strategies.

Comments on How We Feel for Android

★★★★★ Anne Kathleen Woodworth · Feb 22, 2026

I am excited to have found this app. It is helping me to remember to check in with my feelings and understand myself better. I am drawn to using it, it doesn't feel like a chore.

★★★★★ Asahi Bronagh · May 3, 2026

A very great app! I liked it, it has vids that dive into emotions-related topics, it has tools, its creative, and lets you track your mood depending on the situation. Cool.

★★★★★ Shweta S · Jan 30, 2026

My therapist asked me to track my mood by correctly identifying the emotion at the moment and this app just worked well for me. It has unique mindfulness activities and the interface is just too smooth. The best part is that it is FREE!!!!

★☆☆☆☆ Jonathan Roach · Feb 15, 2026

It regularly asks me how I feel. I like the range of choices and how easy it is to add new activities, locations etc. But whenever I go to Analyze, it says I don't have enough check ins, and presents no data, despite checking on about 3 times a day over the last month. This is utterly useless if I can't look back over my feelings. I'm better off writing them down on paper.

★☆☆☆☆ Artem Nikitenko · Jan 26, 2026

It's a perfect app, but we need an update that ios users have!

★★☆☆☆ Tijana Bojic · May 30, 2026

Why do none of the breathing exercises have sound anymore? I used to put them on close my eyes and follow by listening, I can't do that any more instead I have to look at my screen, I don't want that
