Description
Track Your Happiness is a scientific research project that investigates what makes life worth living.
Using this app, you’ll be able to track your happiness and find out what factors — for you personally — are associated with greater happiness. You’ll also contribute to our scientific understanding of happiness.
Thinkers from Aristotle to William James have argued that happiness is a core goal of life. Paradoxically, enormous improvements in the conditions human life — bigger houses, more powerful technology, better medical care — have achieved only modest improvements in happiness.
Track Your Happiness aims to use the latest in science and technology to help you better understand the causes of your own happiness, while also contributing to scientific research that could one day benefit everyone.
A few times a day, you’ll get a notification and be asked some questions about your experience at that moment. The idea is that by measuring your experience at many individual moments, you’ll get an accurate picture of your life and the determinants of your happiness.
Let’s get started tracking your happiness!

Couple problems
I like the his app, or I should say I like the idea of it. There are some inherent problems, however.
First: the app keeps kicking me out, and especially when I’m doing other things, I don’t want to have to take the time to log in, remember which username/password I used, etc.
Second: if I’m more unhappy/depressed, I’m much less likely to bother spending the time it takes to complete a short survey than if I’m feeling good. I’m sure I’m not the only person who experiences this and it automatically creates a user bias toward a higher average happiness.
When I was severely depressed/suicidal, I didn’t even bother opening the app. Now that I’m doing better, it feels like a lot of effort to log in every time so I just ignore all the notifications that pop up.
There were some other things I thought could be useful, like weekly or monthly tracking of specific markers of happiness, e.g.: family/career satisfaction, financial stability, interactions with friends, activities engaged in, etc. as well as things that might be correlated with happiness, such as alcohol consumption/drug use.

Great method
Heard about this project through the TED Radio Hour podcast. I think it's a really great start to pinpointing what drives our happiness. I love that it is randomized, convenient, and likely reliable (as a "self improvement" tool, respondents are probably much less likely to answer dishonestly). The only addition I'd like to see is questions about the quality of human interaction, similar to the "productivity" question. For instance, if you recently got in a fight with your spouse, your low happiness score wouldn't be related to the fact that you're with someone, but more specifically related to the fact that you're with someone who you're upset with. The downside to this is it runs the risk of making the surveys too detailed and extensive, but personally, I think my level of happiness is closely related to the quality and status of my relationships. This is a great app though, and I'm really enjoying being a part of it.

Pretty awesome--for the average working adult
I learnt about this app in my psych class; it's a pretty awesome app! It's especially fun to see the correlations between activity and mood become clearer as time goes on and you use the app longer.
One suggestion I'd like to make is to make the question choices more accessible to a variety of people--which is to say, I'm a college student and I find that some questions (esp. the "where are you"? question) are difficult to answer (if I'm at the dining hall, am I at a restaurant? At home? At work? etc.). I'm aware that if you're doing a case study, it's easier to collapse these demographics across the board, but the lives of college students are pretty radically different from adulthood and that might be a confounding factor. Otherwise, I'm having a lot of fun with this app on a micro, personal scale! :)

Darknaz,
Love the app, could be better though!
It does seem like this app notifies me pretty often, and since I work and go to school, often I won't be able to answer the questions, maybe leave a text box, under the how long ago we notified you, so we can quickly jot down feelings and the activity or where we are, so when we go back to it we can easily read what we typed earlier. Also I personally think the reports page is confusing -and that it could be better designed. I'm other than I previously said, I really love this app, and what they're trying to do with this app, I highly recommend this to everyone.
JambonicusRex,
Notifications off by default?
I don't remember disabling notifications during set up, but after missing my first two surveys I went into the iPhone settings menu and saw that all notifications for this app were turned off.
It seems there are at least a few other users who have complained about not getting notifications as well. If you're a user, turn notifications on by going to the iPhone settings menu > Notifications > Happiness, and turning notifications on.
If you're the developer, you might want to tweak the app to request to send notifications during set up.

Enjoy
I'm new to this. Very excited about participating BUT I don't understand it. There seem to be multiple requests each a minute apart -- is this a glitch?
Update 11/16 OK I am only answering one when requests are just minutes apart – – hope that is OK. I find participation to be fun and enlightening. I wish for (1) ability to see the reports on a larger screen/i.e. computer and (2) ability to refine the categories to better fit things I regularly do – –maybe subcategories.

Great app!
This app has actually helped quite a bit in the small amount of time I've had it downloaded. It's something very simple, but somehow puts me at ease. I have anxiety, so doing simple repetitive tasks like this distracts my mind from getting anxious. It also helps you find out the things that make you happiest and the things that make you the least happy. All in all, for such a seemingly insignificant app, it's really nice. It feels almost like a personal therapist in a way. It's nice to be asked "How are you feeling?" every once in a while, even if it's just a robot. :)

Effective, techie mindfulness
Been test driving this to see if it will help my student clients. Started while doing revisions on a dissertation: taught me some suffering is by choice and it's okay. (Fortunately has not reported me to authorities - I suspect the data makes me look miserable!) Has also made me more aware of not only what makes me happy, but by paying attention, I feel happier and savor those times all the more. I hope my students will also learn from using this app. Curious if the data is still being used!
Éowyn of Rohan and Ithilien,
Why no options for the times?
Great app, great concept. It's helped me realize it's time to take the leap and leave my job. Would love to see some options like: fighting the patriarchy; protesting hate; reading/watching the news; mourning the loss of our country; etc - options that are *extremely* relevant to the moods of millions of Americans right now. While my job is the worst, I don't feel like this app is fully capturing my frustrations without them.

Not what I hoped
I was really looking forward to seeing what this app was about, and have been using it consistently for the last 5 days. However I’m only being asked the same questions, such as asking twice if I was from California. And some surveys from previous days were shown as unanswered when I did complete them. I’m pretty bummed, I was really interested in the long-term results. Deleted the app since I feel as if the data is now skewed by missing surveys, and bot being unable to go back to re-answer questions.
