Not sure if this will App will be as great for most writers as it has been for me. My circumstance is a bit rare. The app has taken me back to writing daily, no matter how little, which of course always Tends to create motivation. But I have dealt with more than writer’s block. I had a brain injury which caused 3 years of retrograde amnesia. This aspect I could take with some humor, but it also brought about complete apathy I had never experienced in my life. I had no desire to do anything creative or enjoyable, including writing. Likely most creative people can imagine what spectrum of (Though blunted) feelings this left me with. It’s been a year since I began to hold on to new memories and I finally am feeling more than a passive interest in writing. This app and “danger notes”or “danger writing” together have brought me much faster to the point of maintaining a daily writing routine. If it helps me after my brain injury and amnesia, I bet it would help the general writer’s block all of us experience from time to time
I’ve been using this app for over two years, and out of the many writing apps I’ve downloaded and tried, this one is by far my favorite. The simple user design and beautiful color palettes make me look forward to using it. Its import feature is also extremely easy to figure out and quite fun to play with - it makes you feel like the world of literature is at your fingertips (I’ve imported Homer’s “The Odyssey”, “The Little Mermaid”, “Peter Pan”, “Romeo and Juliet”, and a ton of Shakespeare’s sonnets). What sets it apart from other apps in this category is that it doesn’t try and force you, as a writer, to follow a guide or set of steps to success. You just open the app and write. For years I’ve struggled with developing a writing habit, but discovering WordPalette was the best thing that’s happened to my productivity. It made me look forward to writing and I’m producing more work than ever. I’d highly recommend this app to anyone looking for a simple, gorgeous, flexible writing experience.
Love this app! I use to write poetry as a kid, and was looking for a way to get inspired and knock the rust off my creativity. This app is perfect for getting back on the bicycle or just expanding your imagination for your writing. The only reason for the 4-stars is that there is a lot of potential here that could make the user experience better. For example, I wish they gave the ability to create folders and organize your work. It just shows up in one list and it just feels disorganized. Also, if would be cool if they had a writing prompt generator - I think that would go well with using the word palette. And showing *both* a created and edited date for each item would be nice, right now it just shows the last edited date. Hopefully the app can continue to grow! Looking forward to future updates.
What a great tool for the blocked writer. A simple capacitor to kickstart a new work. The option to add custom pallets is awesome.Imagine for a moment; you’re standing before a blank canvas you have your brush (a pen) and you’re pallet full of your chosen colors; but rather than paint, fyour pallet is full of words. So you dip your brush and paint an incredible work of art. That’s how this app works. The words are there before your eyes and you chose which words you wish to use and where to put them. You can also switch between a normal keyboard and the pallet. Thanks for the great app!!!!
I have so much fun with this app! Whether coming up with serious lyrics with the help of the vast library of words or just sticking random words together creating (depending on your sense of humor) extremely funny lyrics or nonsensical stories.Above all, it helps break any writer’s block you may have by suggesting words you maybe wouldn’t normally think of if you had only a blank piece of paper in front of you. All I know is it helps me tremendously! I’m certain it will help anyone out.I love this app and I highly suggest it!
I love the concept of the app. However I would love to see some more pallets be downloadable instead of me having to go and make all my own. Like a social network sharing aspect where users can upload their pallets and other users can download them. Or easier, more intuitive ways to create pallets. Say, by loading from an musician's discography or from a poet's catalogue. Overall I think the app can be something really beneficial for writers and creative people of all kinds, but needs some more updates to make it more practical
