You can never have too many iPhone apps--especially not when they are supposed to make you happy! The new Hapify app that premiered in New York City last week is designed to bring a grin to iPhone users' faces.
The Hapify app is similar to another app called Instagram, but with a few key differences. What is different is that the Hapify app takes all of your responses to what makes you happy and creates a database of positive emotion-evoking things.
Refinery29 had this to say about the Hapify app, “so far, findings have found that one third of all happiness involves eating or drinking and that romance makes men happier than women, even if women watch more rom-coms. The 1,500 users already signed up have also determined that the happiest place in NYC is the Flatiron District and 8 p.m. is the happiest time of the day.â€
