The Brainstormer 2.00 - App Review



I am in the very fortunate position of reviewing Apps, within a set framework. This means that writer's block is not a problem. If however you need inspiration for your writing then, The Brainstormer could be the answer to your prayers.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
The basic window consists of three discs, together with some controls... that's probably enough to get you writing a story already.

You can manually spin the rings or choose the dice to randomly spin the wheels for you. This will give you a plot, setting or style, and a subject. This is in the basic model, further inspiration is available as an in App purchase.

As an example, my first spin led to the triumvirate of "adultery, fairy tale, rocket"... what a great basis for a short story... sorry, I digress.

If this isn't to your liking then you can spin again, one wheel at a time, or roll the dice.

This inspiration can then be sent by email, Twitter, or Facebook, directly from the App.

Cost
The basic App costs $2.00 and can be augmented by in-App purchases.

Indispensability
If you've never been involved in creative writing, you will wonder what this is all about. On the other hand, if writer's block has ever blighted you, this is a painless way to, maybe, get started.

Dependability
The App works beautifully, and is a pleasure to use. What you do with the output is, of course, your responsibility.

Security
If you share YOUR (albeit with a little help) plot summary via Facebook or Twitter then, on your head be it.

ACIDS Test Rating:

Eliminates writer's block in a spin.
