Art Therapy for Anxiety: LINA

UPDATE: it’s all working now and over the past few months I have really enjoyed following the drawing prompts and then learning about how the way I drew may reflect me and my life/thoughts. It’s a great way to relax when things are getting too busy in life, thanks. Original review: Sounds like a great idea. There was an offer for a free lifetime subscription, so I decided to give this app a try. I got through the onboarding process, filled out their questionnaire etc. and then upon finishing the process the app turned in to a blank white screen, and no amount of closing out the app and reopening it changes this fact. Makes me go hmmm.

I love this app because of the design and how diverse it is it the simplicity of the app yet how deep it goes to help you refine yourself and new things about yourself is amazing and phenomenal I feel powerful even though I’ve been working on myself for a while now but still I love it

…about a user’s drawing ability. Some of the sample drawings look accomplished and detailed, especially considering they’re created on a tiny iPhone screen (why no iPad landscape or universal capability?). Since I really don’t know how to draw, especially with my 67-year-old finger trembling in such a tight space, I’m not sure how much insight this app can give regarding my personality type, etc. I may need to buy an Apple Pencil $$$, but I’m not sure that would be any easier. This app is unique and interesting, but it needs to work on a bigger (iPad) screen and in landscape mode, preferably. And if, like me, you can’t draw a stick figure, let alone a (tiny) flowy multicolored image, I’m not sure how this app can help with exploring your personality through art therapy. I’ll revise my rating if I’m wrong!
