Really good

Really helps with the creativity writing well worth a try if your stuck

Crashed an cannot open

The app crashed and I cannot open it at all.

News prompts still doesn’t work

As others have stated the News prompts still don’t work, it locks up the app and you have to delete and reinstall, but otherwise everything is great. Don’t use the News feature and everything works as it should.

Great app but be careful what you close it on

I use the app regularly and I love it but it has a bug or two. It seems to be the “news” option that hangs it up and prevents reopening the app. I’m careful to avoid that option and haven’t had any problems since.

Dead

In short, this product is dead. There have been no updates in four years, when it definately needs help. It's slow, crashes, and is full of misspellings.

Do not spend money here.

Doesn’t work on my iphone.

Disappointed customer. I keep getting Runtime Error message. Whether I shake, swipe or tap. then the app shuts down. Great $3 wasted thanks.

It’s a great app for writing fantasy

Bugs

Unfortunately this app just gets stuck trying to access ‘random news feeds’ and then crashes showing an error code: ‘bad character’. At that point you can no longer use the app. Too bad, the other prompt types were useful and fun.

Run time error

This app needs a fix. If the news clip feature is chosen an error ‘run time’ message comes up. The only fix is to delete the app, download it again and do not choose the news feature.

I can’t use it

I downloaded this app today, and I was excited about it, but the moment that I opened and they ask me to shake the phone or touch it or swipe and I do it it appears a message saying runtime error and trying to close and I say okay and the app close, I really can’t say anything else about the app, except that I wish I hadn’t bought it because I really can’t use it at all, I believe the idea is interesting and it could help me to write, because I’m taking a bachelor in writing and is interesting and it could have helped me with my clases and personal writing, I wish you could fix it because I truly was excited for the app, I don’t need the money back I just believe you should really try and fix it I was reading some comments and some other people also say the same, and by the way I do have the newest version I just bought it today.

Needs a way to save separate notes

Great prompts, but I feel like the app should be able to save all the notes or stories you write. There is only one note you can save... it would be more useful to save each note separately. You can email yourself the notes, but again it would be nice and if the app could save all the small files to find and refer to later.

Good and useful

A good and useful app which is very useful both online and offline. Though other options should be made available such as the ability to choose which news sources are used for news-based writing prompts.

I used to love this app... now crashes, cannot open.

I have had this app for a number of years. I recently bought an add-on and now I cannot launch the app. It gives me a JSON error about a beautify file or something very similar... please help! I'd like to use what I've paid for-- thanks!!!

Crashes constantly

Re-installed several times. Run-time error message then crashes. Useless. Want my $2.00 back. (Old review)

Installed version 3.6.9 on advice of developer. Works well now. Useful and fun. (New review)

Response from developer

So sorry for the problem with the crashes! We've just gotten version number 3.6.9 approved in the App Store that solves the problem.

Crashes - don't waste your money

Keeps crashing. Had to delete it.

Great app but there's a runtime error bug

Use to be able to open it can't anymore
There's a runtime error after I hit restore purchases.

Just what I was looking for.

This app has a lot of great little tidbits. Words and scenes that really play on that creative tether in your mind.
Which is great because it really keeps the creativity flowing when other, more serious projects, become too frustrating.

However, on searching through the app. I found that the News Prompt causes a runtime error that will render the app useless. Making you delete and reinstall the app.

Keeps Crashing

I keep getting a runtime error for the app and it always crashes. I don't know what the problem is. I already regret purchasing this.

Well worth two bucks

For the price you can't go wrong
