The idea of positivity as a concept is a relatively recent one. For the majority of human history, we didn’t really concern ourselves with how we look at the world, or really cared about each other’s mental health.
However, thanks to the rise of the internet and the insistence of mental health professionals, we now care a great deal about spreading positivity and ensuring that our mental health isn’t as horrendously awful as it used to be. One of the best ways to do this is to join others in spreading positivity in any way you can, through good deeds and kind words.
Awesome is a fittingly named social media app that is all about this idea – by encouraging you to spread positivity everywhere you go, you can take part in the betterment of the world around you.

After providing all your details and signing up, you get your profile and can pick from a variety of different topics that interest you, such as paying it forward, health or entertainment. From there, you can pick from all manner of different types of challenges and tasks to help spread positivity.
Instead of using Awesome to spread your latest achievements of gloating about yourself, you can instead use it as a way to share positivity to others on the app.
You can perform challenges set by either the app itself, or recommended to you by your friends on the app. Instead of being physical challenges, they are usually simple acts of kindness, or trying, in some small way, to help spread positivity and awareness of mental health.
The idea of a social media app that is about spreading positivity might seem a strange one, but this is certainly something that the entirely of modern society could benefit from. There isn’t really that sense of constant progress that some other apps try and foist onto you; instead, you feel determined to complete your challenges and improve the world simply because it makes you feel good in a fundamentally profound way.
The app itself is pretty simplistic in its design, with no overly complicated or garish design elements; instead, the only thing it wants you to do is participate within its community, while at the same try interacting with the world around you through positive challenges.

Awesome might not be an app that everyone might think of as something they would want to join, but once you embrace its message of positivity and make a pledge to yourself to try and engage with that core idea, it becomes something incredibly positive and powerful.
Not only do you do good and make things better around you, but you also feel good about yourself as well – in fact, you feel pretty awesome.
[review pros=”A surprisingly good message of positivity. Pleasant, simple design that encourages participation.” cons=”Low user count making it difficult to send challenges to other people”. score=9]
