I have never used a mood tracker before, so have nothing to compare this one to, but will give impressions.
Direct, easy to use, straightforward results. I agree with enhancing the explanations, and that a wider range of questions could be helpful. And even though I didn't write a journal entry, I could see how 255 characters might be difficult to work with. Though I will post to blog for longer things, so it may not impact my use, much. Overall I think it can be helpful if used regularly.
Thanks DocJohn
