## What is W1D1?

W1D1 is a tool to sharpen your creative skills with daily creative challenges. 

We walk in the footsteps of famous artists and photographers.
Use century-old techniques to learn to work with colours, shapes, and feelings. 

W1D1 is for everyone – not only for designers or photographers. Instead of lectures, we give you quick exercises to help you be brave and deliver your creative ideas.

We don't sell your data to third parties, keep all the users anonymous to erase the vanity aspect of making daily art.

We are excited to create a space where creativity can flourish.

We do it because we believe that we need a world with less self-doubt and self-criticism and that we are happier when connected to our artistic energies.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-01-17*

I see several reviews from this year describing exactly the same issue I’m having. Used to love app, have had year subscription for over 4 years, stopped working, getting the loading wheel, tried everything and now can’t even log back in as it won’t let me go forward to even do that as described by others. I see no communication from developer on those reviews. I also had emailed them and got no response. Seems to be a hopeless case so I’m unsubscribing before my next renewal. What I’ve paid for this year’s subscription is going to waste sadly.

### 1/5 — Frustratingly broken

*2026-01-04, version 3.3.5*

This app never got past the introduction page. Froze every time I tried to use it!

### 3/5 — Issue of signing in

*2025-11-09, version 3.3.5*

I used to love this app but now I can’t even sign in.

### 1/5 — It’s not working

*2025-10-19, version 3.3.5*

It use to be a good app and redownload it the other day again and now it’s just not doing anything at all anymore.

### 1/5 — This App does not work

*2025-09-11, version 3.3.5*

This app does not work. They took my mine and the app does not get past the intro page and there is not app support.

### 5/5 — I miss W1D1…

*2025-09-02, version 3.3.5*

I miss W1D1 so much that I still can't accept that it doesn't work. If there is a way to save it, please do. The creators of this app are great. Beautiful project rip🪽🪽

### 2/5 — A promising intro, until the app froze 🥲

*2025-08-31, version 3.3.5*

Loved the intro to the app and the UI / Design and was super excited to dive deeper - However, unfortunately upon reaching the “Any Topics That Interest You?” stage of the intro, it seems to just freeze, and no topics are populated for the user to select? 

Thought it was perhaps my phone glitching, so I offloaded the app and re-installed in the hope I’d be greater with a choice of topics to choose from, alas, ‘twas not meant to be 🥲

Can’t seem to skip that stage / screen to continue on the journey, as the [Continue] CTA is disable, so the only alternative is the return to the first step. Leaving me stuck between the promise of a creative adventure and the unsatisfied anticipation of furthering my user journey. 

Looked something like this: 🎨🧑🏻‍🎨…👀…🙇🏻‍♀️

Would love for this little hiccup to be ironed out so we can all enjoy what the app has to offer? 🙏🏼

### 1/5 — The app isn’t working

*2025-08-24*

I love the idea of this app. Three years ago, I briefly used it and it was inspiring and useful. I just came back to it and find that I can’t get it to function. I get the loading wheel, nothing responds. So, I deleted the app and reinstalled it. I got as far as the “what specific topics do you like” page but it won’t let me answer and it won’t go past that page. I have been paying for a subscription for years now, please help so I can use it

### 3/5 — Couldn’t wait, now couldn’t open it

*2025-07-03, version 3.3.5*

I was so excited to use this app, as I really need to grow my creativity, but it won’t let me finish logging in. It asks me “Any specific topics you’re into?” But it shows no way to answer, and won’t let me continue.

### 5/5 — Pls change back the feed

*2025-06-20, version 3.3.5*

I really like this app it’s concept is perfect!! But the feed has been changed to the dark and simple one the bright one before was very atheistic 🥹pls pls change it back to the artistic style one!!
