Get Happy is an interesting app to have in your iPhone. Simply put, it will try to get that better part of you out. Wouldn’t you (and everyone you know!) be happier?
Get Happy is straightforward to use. Start by qualifying your life aspects in 4 quadrants: relationships, personal growth, leisure and work-education. You give them a degree from 1 to 10, and from here, the app will keep giving you tips to improve all areas, with a special focus on those where your mark is below average.
There are a lot of tips, and most are just common sense in clear writing, but since common sense is usually the least common of the senses, this app is very welcome. They are the kind of tips you’d think as New Year resolutions, but reminded on a daily basis. Which is probably what we all need!
Even if the app sounds bare-bones, it isn’t. Well designed, it’s one of those apps I’m happy (no pun intended, really!) to review. Sometimes we find apps that are clearly not used even once by their creators. Get Happy is not one of them, since everything looks in the right place to find it in a moment.
In short: Get Happy is an interesting little app that can help your overall feeling. If you give it your all.
