Pros and cons of Creative Whack Pack app for iPhone and iPad

Creative Whack Pack app good for

Ive used it for team collaboration, project development, and personal life. It diversifies my perspectives, renews my enthusiasm, and provides solutions and alternatives.

I bought the iPhone App as a companion to the card game that I own. t offers great features for a very reasonable price. It provides "on the go" creative stimulus for people who need to find creative solutions / ideas. For me, it is most useful in small meetings / ad hoc discussions or when I am mulling over something alone. In "real" workshops, I still prefer the good old paper card, but this app is great to have a "whack" readily available wherever you go. It also offers some nice features like shuffles or prepared "programs" for certain questions, plus a nice note-taking function. Overall, I can only recommend this to all Roger von Oech fans, and those who are curious what the heck this is all about. Give it a try!

The book has been a constant companion since its publication and was a professional inspiration. This Whack is just as useful in my retirement when you have to be more creative than ever. Mike in Düsseldorf.

Ive allways enjoyed Roger von Oechs books "A kick in the seat of the pants" and "A whack on the side of the head" ... So when I saw the Creative Whack Pack for just 5 bucks I got it no hesitations. True, its a bit pricy for an iPhone app but then again the creative whack I get when I read it (and then apply) it worth the 500 pennies.

This app is really a good tool for all areas of creativity and even at 5 bucks, its a must have if you are serious enough about applying the principles of the cards. Great concept!

Every time my thumb touches this app my mind is blown away! I use it every chance I get ;)

Some bad moments

Deceptive description and touted in a graphic design trade magazine as "inspirational". Just a series of "motivational" cards. I agree with the other non sponsor reviewers. Dont waste your money.
