CBT & Color therapy: LINA 12+

Lina first impression

First impression: Looks like a great app with interesting tasks. I think it will make a nice addition to my physical mindful journaling. I think that personality test at the beginning was a nice touch. I’m intrigued to see how this new practice will help me reach the goal the developers helped me to set up. Although it took some time to draw what I wanted, but after a few trials and errors, the drawing finally came out the way I’ve imagined it. I’m excited to see what the next task is going to be. Stay tuned for the update.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for sharing your first impression! We're glad that you find our app to be a promising addition to your mindful journaling practice. It's great to hear that the personality test resonated with you and we appreciate your patience with the drawing process. Enjoy your art therapy journey and we're looking forward to hear your thoughts!

Makes some presumptions…

…about a user’s drawing ability. Some of the sample drawings look accomplished and detailed, especially considering they’re created on a tiny iPhone screen (why no iPad landscape or universal capability?).

Since I really don’t know how to draw, especially with my 67-year-old finger trembling in such a tight space, I’m not sure how much insight this app can give regarding my personality type, etc. I may need to buy an Apple Pencil $$$, but I’m not sure that would be any easier.

This app is unique and interesting, but it needs to work on a bigger (iPad) screen and in landscape mode, preferably. And if, like me, you can’t draw a stick figure, let alone a (tiny) flowy multicolored image, I’m not sure how this app can help with exploring your personality through art therapy. I’ll revise my rating if I’m wrong!

Not working

I planned on getting the lifetime version on the sale, but sadly couldn’t even test the sofware. Had a blank screen halfway through onboarding, managed to restart the app to be faced with a popup for an upcoming Blank canvas feature for premium users, and then the app went completely blank, no matter how many times I tried to restart, nothing at all would appear in the app, so there was no way to even purchase anything from within. I could have probably managed to force the purchase by clicking the IAP from the apple store page, but paying for app that won’t work seemed like too much of a risk, if that even worked. Hopefully one day they might do another similar lifetime sale if they ever fix it…
