Brainsparker Creativity Coach

EDITED - Thank you for your response. I went into the settings and though KIDS PACK was NOT checked, ALL CARDS was. Thank you for your non-generic reply. Original: I have used Brain Sparker every day for months and months. Many, many new cards in the update do not spark creativity, they give VERY specific “assignments” that have absolutely nothing to do with the work I do. I have no desire to write about a birthday party when I’m looking for a way to shift my perspective. This morning, the assignment was to “put a leaf under my paper and trace over it with a pencil then add lots of color.” Really? I know I can swipe for another card, but when that one asks me to “act out a tv scene in which you are a shop assistant and you suddenly discover you can read people’s minds” it’s REALLY frustrating. The person or people who created these cards don’t seem to understand what their own product used to be about: SPARKING creativity no matter the possible project... not guiding a user in a completely extremely specific exercises that sound like they were written by an activities director at an assisted living facility. Your broad questions and prompts are and have been FANTASTIC. “Add a bit more of something.” “It’s ok to be wrong” “Which rules could you break?” These are what work in your app... but to come up with examples just now, I had to wade through a bunch of cards asking me to “draw a robot dancing with its pet dog” or to design a beach umbrella or to design an app and create its screen icon. It’s hard to believe these are real. Paint a face on a rock? These suggestions are insulting to people trying to work through big issues in their creative projects. You created something GREAT (so great I’m still giving 3 stars even though it has plummeted in consistency & quality). Just keep doing what you did so beautifully.

I don’t write reviews often but this app really deserves one, this app was designed to spark ideas and initiate creativity, and since I write on my free time so I downloaded it, but what surprised me is that this app actually helped with my anxiety more than helping me as a writer.. I was almost having an anxiety attack once and I was just going through my phone for anything to calm me down and stop me from thinking of what was causing me the anxiety, I was almost in tears already, until I laid eyes on this app and I opened it and started swiping cards, I was getting calmer as I was thinking of the cards content instead of the anxiety attack, and it actually calmed me... So I don’t just use it for its sole purpose, but for my mental health too! And I was wondering if you could add a free mental health pack with nice things written inside of them too! -though I hope it’d be free hehe-

This app is good. First of all, people in the reviews said the cards were dumb and didn't have any thought or creativity put in them. Maybe they don’t, but it helps me so much!! Just taking my mind off of things and reading cool quotes and looking at pictures of reality puts me right back into a writing mood. I also love that I can download the pictures to my Photos so I always have them right there. I do have a request though. I think it would be awesome if you could submit your writings to the app and get constructive criticism back, or you could submit it were anyone could read your writing. Being open to the public’s writing I think would also provide tons of inspirations for stories, so if you did that it would just expand your app. I understand it would be difficult to make such huge updates like my suggestions, but like I said they are just things I think would make the app more fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to read!
