Comments on The Happiness Project for Android

★★★★★ Roobicorn C · Jun 20, 2021

These games are kind of addictive ?!?! It is always the simpler games that are more fun-and why not play them if it helps science ♡︎ And I have been playing for a while today and no ads !

★★★★☆ Peter Gerregano · Mar 29, 2023

Interesting app. Cool way to explore correlation and causation for happiness.

★★★★★ Implozia · May 9, 2021

I don't expect the most amazing of gameplay or artwork from a game meant to research, but It's still nice and a nice time killer. But what I truly admire about this app is that is for research and mental health, and I always encourage that. This is one of the best ways nowadays to research the population and traditional digital surveys, although incorporated in this app, are more boring than this, which makes an effort to educate us and involve us better.

The games are all based on styles of gambling/risk to find how this effects happiness. The games themselves other than being told to earn points there is nothing you gain for earning more or less points and it's not lime you will not be able to play because they want to study you so there's no happiness to be had for me sorry, maybe i just don't have a gambling mind?

★☆☆☆☆ Brexton Popejoy · Jun 26, 2021

Poorly designed game/app. The "science" value here seems minimal at beast as well. Every few rounds you get asked how happy you are and to slide a scale. Why would a simple experiment/game change my happiness that much? Biggest influence on my mood during the game was frustration at how poorly designed it was.
