Oflow - App Review



Dead ends are frustrating... I write from experience. It doesn't matter why but sometimes, a solution doesn't appear because it's you reflecting on your problem/impasse.

This App offers you 156 methods for unlocking the situation.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
There are 5 options on the main screen:

Random
Touch this to receive a, potentially, helpful bit of advice. Once in it you can refresh for another random thought, mark it as a favourite, or make a note. This feature is extremely useful as it enables you to potentially deal with more than one issue at a time, as well as allowing you to get the creative juices flowing, without having to leave the App.

Methods
This lists the 156 cues for inspiration to get you moving forward. You can then pick any one and see if it helps. In fairness, these don't really seem to be in any order so, short of scrolling through 156, you might be best advised to use 'Random' in the first place.

Favourites
These are the methods you highlighted in the random section. If they prove helpful once, you might well want to revisit them in the future.

Notes
Her you will find the notes you made earlier, with the first line being the title.

Reminder
If you are in need of a daily reminder to be creative, you can set a reminder here.


Cost
The App costs $2.

Indispensability
If you can solve all your problems with no outside help whatsoever, this App is not for you... nor are friends, white boards, notepads, coloured pens...

Dependability
The App is simple and it works.

Security
There are no issues with the App but you can share your notes via email, Evernote, Facebook, and Twitter.

ACIDS Test Rating:

It's only a real friend that will tell you the truth.
