Fun and imaginative.

Love the concept of this game and how it gets you thinking. I love the fact it’s fully accessible with voice over too which helps people like me who are totally blind. Can’t wait to play this game when I’m next on holiday with my family. Keep up the good work. I’ve also downloaded Lists for writers and name dice.

Not great. Sorry…

When 10 dice are selected some disappear off the screen. Was originally looking for story cubes that used to be great, this didn’t get very close to that. Sorry don’t like giving bad reviews. Experience doesn’t feel great

If you can improve the app happy to up my score

If it wasn’t only £1.99 i would ask for a refund

Fantastic for language classrooms

I use this app to have students create sentences, paragraphs or stories. In conversation activities I use them to spark ideas to discuss.

Great prompts for writers

I’ve found this particularly useful for smaller writing exercises, where I need help finding a direction to take. Totally worth it!
