Being a young aspiring fanfic writer, I have to depend greatly on friends who have most likely never hear of the people I write about. Also, being a theater kid, I use music as a heavy inspiration for my stories. This app helps me set goals and keeps me on track with my stories. I would have no motivation without it. Writers’ block is normal, but annoying, and a free cure that works as well as this is a miracle! I do have one small suggestion that a lot of other people have, and that is having a way to unlock card packs, or maybe even an in-app currency to pay for them. Just something that doesn’t include real cash, please. Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — The Creative Whisperer *2020-12-16, version 4.1.2* This app is awesome for an all over the place creative like myself. I podcast, I write, I blog, I affirm, and I share this app with everyone. It sparks creativity where I didn’t realize I needed it. Buy all of the card packs! I wish there was a way I could be your ambassador because I use this app everyday. ### 5/5 — Brain*spark* *2020-12-11, version 4.1.2* This app surprises me every time I use it. We loose so much of our creativity as adults. This app teaches one to pivot ones thoughts. ### 5/5 — Great if you are looking for inspiration everyday *2020-11-19, version 4.1.2* Fun and Useful ### 5/5 — Interesante *2020-11-11, version 4.1.2* Me gusta, es muy sencilla pero interesante. Puedes barajar las cartas y escoger una y ver una frase al azar para darle otro enfoque a alguna situación. Incluso puedes programar para que cada día te llegue una de sus frases y te hace pensar. ### 3/5 — Needs more *2020-10-28, version 4.1.2* Would be great to see the colorful card packs labeled. Also, there is an option to star a specific card but you cannot go to the location of all of your selected starred cards. Lastly, unfortunately you are not able to go backwards only forwards within a card pack and when you do go backwards you are kicked out of a card pack and have to start over just to find that card that had just the right words or phrase. Overall, creative and inspiring, it just needs more work. ### 5/5 — Can we add our own customised questions *2020-10-27* App was fantastic **Developer response:** Thank you Karthick for your kind words. We're glad you like it! ### 5/5 — Prompts have never been so fun *2020-08-31, version 4.1.1* I continue to be impressed by this app. The design is beautiful. The different categories of prompts is wide. The quality of the prompts is very appreciated by this writer. But I use it for more than writing as its uses seem limitless! ### 4/5 — New cards are WAY too specific *2020-06-21, version 4.1.1* EDITED - Thank you for your response. I went into the settings and though KIDS PACK was NOT checked, ALL CARDS was. Thank you for your non-generic reply. Original: I have used Brain Sparker every day for months and months. Many, many new cards in the update do not spark creativity, they give VERY specific “assignments” that have absolutely nothing to do with the work I do. I have no desire to write about a birthday party when I’m looking for a way to shift my perspective. This morning, the assignment was to “put a leaf under my paper and trace over it with a pencil then add lots of color.” Really? I know I can swipe for another card, but when that one asks me to “act out a tv scene in which you are a shop assistant and you suddenly discover you can read people’s minds” it’s REALLY frustrating. The person or people who created these cards don’t seem to understand what their own product used to be about: SPARKING creativity no matter the possible project... not guiding a user in a completely extremely specific exercises that sound like they were written by an activities director at an assisted living facility. Your broad questions and prompts are and have been FANTASTIC. “Add a bit more of something.” “It’s ok to be wrong” “Which rules could you break?” These are what work in your app... but to come up with examples just now, I had to wade through a bunch of cards asking me to “draw a robot dancing with its pet dog” or to design a beach umbrella or to design an app and create its screen icon. It’s hard to believe these are real. Paint a face on a rock? These suggestions are insulting to people trying to work through big issues in their creative projects. You created something GREAT (so great I’m still giving 3 stars even though it has plummeted in consistency & quality). Just keep doing what you did so beautifully. ### 5/5 — Just the spark I needed! *2020-06-19, version 4.1.1* Awesome! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not great for visual art creativity *2025-06-06, version 8.2.3* Not great for visual art creativity ### 1/5 — Bruh. *2025-01-31, version v8.2.1* This app push a card promoting skipping breakfast. That’s an unhealthy message. ### 1/5 — Too many ‘don’t’s. *2023-01-01, version 7.4* While some sparks are stirring, the negative ones crash the spirit. Stay away from this app. ### 1/5 — terrible quotes *2022-08-22, version 7.1* ive kept this app in my widgets for about 2 months now hoping it would give me some wisdom or inspiration. the quotes they’ve chosen are so cheesy and terrible! seems like they could all have easily been chosen by some cis straight white tech dude who trades cryptocurrency and thinks joe rogan is a wise prophet. quote some gay disabled black women and ill redownload but this is not the spark i was hoping for. ### 1/5 — Kinda dissatisfied *2021-05-03, version 4.2* I was thinking it would be free and also that you could write IN the app ### 1/5 — Thoroughly inaccessible to screen reader users *2020-01-05, version 3.3.1* The only part of this app I could use was the daily inspiration which, next to an image read as "image.png," said "Find the gap." I found it, and there's no bridge. What I believe is the shuffle button is unlabeled, the menu button is unlabeled, and when I tried to tap both help and about to leave kind notes/suggestions for the developer, I was presented with another card. I'd like to use this app, but it isn't accessible to me, and when I try to offer accessibility suggestions, I'm blocked from even doing that. ### 1/5 — Terrible!! *2019-11-17, version 3.3.1* So bad! The ‘inspiration’ quotes are so lame! I mean come on! ### 1/5 — En4 minutos la desinstale *2019-06-27, version 3.3* Me esperaba algo mejor. Para este tipo de frases se tiene el twitter o ya de plano el pinterest. Hay hasta paginas de fb con mejor contenido y mismo tipo de frases. ### 1/5 — Confusing *2019-03-19, version 3.3* Doesn’t make a lot of sense and most of what I click on in the app takes me to a webpage - defeats the purpose of ‘app’. Deleted. ### 1/5 — would not download again *2019-03-12, version 3.3* practically everything costs something and the free prompts aren’t great ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fabulous app for anyone who is creative *2026-07-29, version 8.2.7* I use this app all the time to help prompt me or just for a bit of fun. I love that it keeps getting better. ### 5/5 — A Fresh Approach to Creativity *2025-12-31, version 8.2.5* I’m always looking for ways to spark new ideas, and Brain Sparker seems like the perfect additional solution for my creativity and brainstorming! I love the concept of the creative prompts, writing exercises, and the idea generation sounds so refreshing! I’m excited to explore this app and see how it can help boost my creative thinking and innovation! ### 5/5 — What happened? I had all the decks and then you took them away to get money from me. Brilliant idea! *2025-06-30, version 8.2.3* I had all the decks and now I don’t and it is bad business. Boo on you! It is disgusting! Why did you do that? Don ‘t say I have forever access and then take it away to try to get money from me. Maybe you should write a spark that says “lie to your customer!” ### 5/5 — First card…WOW! Nailed it. *2025-02-12, version v8.2.1* Opened my first card from my first chosen deck and it was dead on. So far…killing it, but need more time for true opinion. ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-11-02, version 8.0.5* Really good and handy to have, I’m using it when conducting workshops to be more creative as well as inspiration when working on different projects. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2023-05-10, version 8.0.2* This app is a work of genius. I can’t wait with each morning I see a bit of true inspiration. It has reminded me to look for inspiration in big things and also in the little things. Thanks for making this app. I can’t wait to explore it further into what the capabilities of this app are. ### 5/5 — Love it EVERY DAY ! *2023-04-26, version 8.0.1* So nice to have in the pocket. ### 5/5 — I love it *2023-02-06, version 7.4* I am writing a novel and I’m getting so many good ideas from this app. It is worth the money. ### 5/5 — Cool App *2022-06-23, version 7.0* I love the app! I wish there were a place where I could see all the cards I've liked in the past. But groovy concept ### 5/5 — now i don’t write reviews often but… *2022-02-20, version 5.0* now i don’t write reviews unless an app is REALLY GOOD, or REALLY bad. and i assure you, this is one of the good ones. better than good, actually. this is one of the BEST apps i’ve ever used. i’m a writer, and i was lacking motivation, so i downloaded this and was immediately (pleasantly) surprised. this was a game changer. there are all sorts of prompts (some of which you do have to purchase) that are really awesome for writing exercises. i only downloaded this tonight, and i’ve probably written down 5 poems in the past hour. it’s incredible for writer’s block. all of the prompts are very unique, and i haven’t seen any of them repeated yet. i bought the v.i.p pack (because i was so obsessed lol) and i’m convinced it was the best $2.99 i’ve ever spent. :) DOWNLOAD NOW, you will NOT regret it. <3333 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
