This is a tool so simple, so pure at its core that it could appeal to anybody: unstimulated amateur writers, students who want the practice, seasoned professionals, disorganized freelancers, aspiring authors, bored hermits, and so on!
○ Access to unlimited prompts curated by other people just like you
○ Each day a new awaiting prompt will be signified by a blue pencil button at the bottom of the screen; once you've completed today's prompt, this will be replaced by a green check mark congratulating you for your work!...until the next time
○ The prompts themselves will be unpredictable: silly, nuanced, mind-blowing, or dark...but always thought-provoking, getting you itching to write down your first line
○ Always know when you last modified a response as it is stated at the bottom of each list cell
○ Keep responses safe and intact in your account for your viewing pleasure no matter what device you choose to log in from!
○ Press the cute robot button linking to the profile of the ingenious Reddit user who contributed to the current prompt, where you can feel free to start a conversation, search through any others they've submitted to the site, and maybe even delve into the world of /r/WritingPrompts itself (highly recommended).
○ All users will encounter the same daily prompt, optimal for discussion and brainstorm with fellow writers

Great idea

The reddit prompts show up nicely but sometimes they’re a little too specific or repetitive in nature. Would be nice if Yi could take some of the better more serious prompts when there’s another one about aliens coming up. Otherwise, works like a charm for my daily creative itch
Can't see prompt

Just downloaded app and I can't see the prompt entirely or even where I'm typing because it's cropped off. I was looking forward to using this app and now I'm going to delete it because what's the point. Also, you can't delete your account from inside the app, there's only a button that says "log out" as if that helps. And it doesn't send a conformation email to the email address you use to sign up so I can't even delete my account using that. If the people who make this app are reading this, I want my account deleted. And now none of the buttons in the app are working for me, and I'm questioning why I downloaded this app.
It’s ok

This app has a cool idea to it, but it really is just ok. You get a single prompt every day and the app provides a place to type out your response to the prompt and then stores your writing and the prompt in a separate page. The only problem I’ve found is that it gives me the new prompt, not at 12:00am when the next day begins, but in the afternoon. I’m assuming they’re being changed by someone in another time zone? Honestly, I’m not sure, but it’s a little strange to me and kind of inconvenient, as I usually want to write in the morning. Other than that the app is ok. The prompts are pretty cool. They’ve definitely given me ideas for writing and helped when I wasn’t sure what to write about, so the app is accomplishing its goal. I would recommend it if you need a few ideas but I’m sure there are better sources of inspiration out there.
