It might!
But this is what happened for me.
I love things that combine science and active psychology and of course APPs are all the rage. Why not practice some mindfulness in my spare moments? Who doesn’t want more happy in their lives?
At first when I signed up for free all was going well, I was getting e-mails all the time to check in and about comments on my happify posts and time and time again I saw the paid parts of the site, that I of course couldn’t fully see being on the free part. I like to support those making APPs so I signed up.
Then, the reminder e-mails that caught my attention and reminded me to work on the site/app stopped. I checked the account, I didn’t change any settings to make the e-mails stop. I forgot about it all together until at one point I noticed my bank invoice, every month charging me $9.95.
See, all e-mail settings the same!
Oh my word, look what I did. So they got many many $9.95 from me. Finally I canceled, none too happy about it. Course it is my own fault. Did I mention I need to be more mindful?
There is some speculation that some apps like these count on you not using them and forgetting about their charges.
So my opinion, maybe the Happify apps works for those who remember to use it. For me, I need such an app to remind me to be more mindful and to use it!
Have you tried it yet? Whats your review on it? Is it more than just a cute app?
I too tried the free version and liked it but was not sure it would be worth paying for. I saw it on Pinterest today and was reminded that it even existed. Life is so busy that I also forget unless reminded.
