A great app for people want to practice writing stories
The app generates five random elements of story to guide users to write one accordingly. The given prompts are usually unexpected but not too nonsense, and could inspire one to write an interesting story.
Teachers could introduce the app to students and use it as in-class activity or home exercise.
Young kids would find the prompts funny and be willing to use their creativity. This would definitely be more motivating than essays in regular English class. However, personally thinks that the user interface is not visually attractive as an app for children. -
