Story Dice by Thinkamingo User Reviews

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

Love this

Very helpful for a creative writer like myself! Thank you

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!

Great fun!

I love this app! I do a lot of writing on my phone and when I get a little stuck, I shake up the story dice to lead me forward. Fun and helpful!

Fun!

I have played this game with people from toddlers to senior citizens. Fun for every age!

Helps with writer's block

I'm doing a 30 stories in 30 days challenge to help break through some writer's block. This works just as advertised and has helped immensely with idea generation.

Awesome!

Awesome Ideas for story writing!

Wonderful

They do exactly what they say and they do a great job. My kids and I Love to use these and tell stories to each other.

Use in Creative Writing Class

I use this once or twice a semester as a story or poem starter for students. Each student gets a different set of dice. It's easy to use and gives students one tool to tackle writers' block.

Bundle swindle

Bundle swindle. Beware, this is POINTLESS.

Story Building ideas

This app is great to use as a tool to get the creative juices running. My homeschool girls love making stories up with this app!

perfect for my 1st grader!!

I started using this the summer between kinder & 1st grade. he LOVES it. first we started just telling the story, by mid-summer he was writing his stories. it has really helped him by expanding his thinking and writing more than 1 sentence during 'free choice' writing at school.

A litte suggestion

Great job in keeping with the original game. I would like to say though it is not the best set up. You get a new hand every time you touch the screen. It need to have a roll button separately. Then when you touch the dice they need to go to the top of the screen to show they have been used.

Waste of money

This app is a total waste of money. I think it should be free. 99 cents for a app like this is a waste. I wish I did not buy this app. I could have bought something so much better!

Simply perfect

This is a great idea! Instead of using tech to isolate us, this app bring people together! It looks really cool too!! Thanks app people!

Awesomeness!

Great little app!

Just... Why?

This app is a rip off! You tap the screen and the picture changes and that's it. No option to start writing, no description, why does this even exist? Waste of 3 bucks. DONT BUY IT!!!

Love it!

I have the Rory's Story Cubes but always misplace them. This app is definitely worth the price. Haven't clicked through to see all the pictures yet, so not sure about the amount of pictures it has yet. One suggestion for fixing would be to allow outside music to be played while using this app. I write with music and usually switch to the app when I get stuck, I don't like having my music stop right when I get going, as it takes away precious seconds...especially when I do word sprints to write. I'd like to play music and have this app opened constantly for that reason.
Advice for people complaining it's limited: take one dice at a time. Try to use your imagination for the picture on the dice, yes, but also to the events surrounding the die; leading up to it, surroundings, smells, characters. Add depth to it. I've written over 25,000 words in just using 5 dice. You just gotta be creative in your thinking patterns!
Otherwise great app! Love it! Highly recommended!
