Spice Mobile

This refreshingly creative app is the spark plug I now choose to start my day. Begin with a simple word and be led to a maze of delights of the written word, both obscure and familiar. This app is for those of us who " think in quotes" as well as those who long for the apt phrase. Or is my favorite part the bonus of having the ready answer to " who said that?" A year's worth for less than the cost of a movie!

This is still new with room to expand. But it is clearly different from the run-of-the-mill thesaurus. Fascinating color to use in writing with source references and background. Even this early in its development and with the limited time I've been using it, I can highly recommend it as another tool in the writer's quiver. Looking forward to the release of the Mac desktop version.

A friend tipped me off to this app, and I'm glad that he did. I am a freelance novelist and have been looking for a good source for cross-referencing phrases, and for finding obscure phrases to include in my descriptions when I write...I've only been playing with this app for a few hours but I am already finding it useful. It has a ridiculous number of cross-referenced phrases and definitions, and it even tracks the phrases through literary history. Can't wait to see what else I can discover about it.
