The Brainstormer App Reviews

54 add

Well worth it.

A great app, and the optional add ons, I look forward to more.

Good, but it could be better.

The app is a really good creative tool to connect randomly ideas and concepts. The in app purchase extra wheels are nice, but not needed if you can create your own. And creating your own wheels, is the crowning jewel, and the Achilles heel of this app. The problem is that you cant export your custom wheels. That means if you have to erase or change device you are out of luck. You will loose your work. It would be nice to share wheels with other users and since the app only offers two additional for sale, this is really discouraging for power users. Id be willing to pay for a pro edition that allows users to do this. Another flaw is, the only way to add a list to the wheels is by typing each and every single item, row by row. It would be nice to be able to import text files, as well to be able to edit, copy and paste multiple items at the same time. As it is is very frustrating that you cant easily correct the order of items on the lists.

Love

Hi. Love this. One request - please add an option to store the prompts in the app itself, instead of having to export them via email, Facebook or Twitter. Looking forward to any updates.

Not worth the money

This is money well wasted. The screen shots they show are not what you get.

Not a universal app

Great app, even with the in app purchases, of which I gladly paid for. Then realized I had to pay for it again to put it on my iPad Air. Not acceptable to me. I have paid for 1 dollar apps and 10 dollar apps that dont require a new purchase.

Making New Lists is Monotonous

Let me be able to copy and paste into the custom list without having to go one item at a time. Its so annoying when I already have a large chunk of words selected and I have to add one at a time.

Loads of fun

Whether Im trying to come up with a new idea or just playing with my kids, this app always gets the juices going. Well written and beautiful. Love the new wheels.

Great. But crashes for me

Its a really great app for boosting creativity or coming up with an idea quick. But ever since I got the new update I cant even get past the intro screen without it crashing.

Great for story time

I read bedtime stories to my five year old but sometimes he asks me to make up a story. Brainstormer is great for coming up with creative ideas for that. Check it out!

Thanks

This last update (April 21, 2015) is a great one. I liked the addition of international languages and emojis. Good job, keep moving forward

Great update

Ive been following this app from the beginning and it just keeps getting better. This idea-sparking tool packs laughs and insight into any creative process. The developers dedication is a rare and welcome bonus. Wish there were more like this.

Fun writing/character/world prompts

I really like the interface on this app, and the fact that I can create custom brainstorming sets based on existing ones (or from scratch). Very well thought-out. My only complaint is this: If i want to randomly create 20 characters with the Character Builder, in order to save each one, I have to either Tweet, post on Facebook, or email every combination. I would very much prefer to add the randomized combos to a list that I can email all at once (or even just add to the paste buffer). As it is, I have to use this in combination with a computer, or a pen and paper to collect a set of character (or other type) prompts. Im certainly not going to bombard my twitter followers with the output of this app twenty times in a row. Please consider making it possible to accumulate a list of brainstormed combinations.

Crashes

Firstly, let me say that I LOVE this app. I had it on my old ITouch and used it often. That ITouch disappeared and I found a replacement. I bought this app again but it crashes before it even starts. Ive deleted and downloaded again with the same results. Help please! I will gladly give 5 stars if I can get it to work!

Great app...sort of

The basic wheel works great, exactly what I expected and paid for. But the "free" creature wheel wont download/open on my phone at all, which is frustrating to say the least. Also, I wish I had known that the world building and character wheels are $1 extra a piece before I bought this...learned my lesson; always check what they mean by in-app purchases. Im going to wait to see if I can get the creature wheel working before I blow more money on this.
