Great app except....

This is a great writing app. It provides pictures and prompts. The only issue I have had with the app is you can not save unfinished work. When you exit the app and save your writing you can not edit your writings later.

Doesn’t work

Just downloaded the app and the “back” button doesn’t work once you’re in an image to write. The voice recording also doesn’t seem to save anywhere. Very buggy.

Creativity+CommonCore=Awesome

I've been showing this app to teachers throughout our district because it really is the perfect way to get kids writing. They love the images that go with the prompts…something about that added visual is so powerful. Lower elementary teachers are appreciative of the audio prompts and everyones mind starts racing with ideas when they see the ability to create your own prompts with images from the iPad. We use shared iPads and this allows for more than one student to write, store and share their written responses on the device. Many teachers are having the students email the final drafts to them.

I mean cmon, more than 300 prompts for 3 bucks.. plus the open ended nature of the tool.. awesome! So easy to align with the CCSS, especially for narrative. Some persuasive opportunities as well. In the future I'd love to see a gallery where students can share their writing with a wider audience. But overall this is just quality stuff that is often lacking on the expanse that is the EDU app store.
