Oblique Strategies SE Positive Reviews

Better late than neverI wish I'd known about this years ago! I formerly toured in a metalcore band and now compose & produce ambient/psytrance electronic music. I came across Oblique Strategies while reading up on Brian Eno's process. I've often used constraints to attempt to get unstuck. However, these cards offer many more methods. I once read a book called "One great insight is worth a thousand ideas". These cards will lead to many great insights..Popo0017Version: 6.7

Best Oblique Strategies App! Updated!Update: Thanks for adding the widget option; however, the widget does not automatically update each day. It only changes when you go back and manually reopen the app. With the addition of the 5th generation of cards in the latest version, this app has climbed to the top of the ladder! As a musician and photographer, this app stimulates my creativity and productivity immensely..GypsyVoyagerVersion: 2.4

Good app—and ideas for improvementA recent update seemed to have disable dark mode for the widget—would love a fix. A few more ideas for improvement... The widget card and in-app card should always keep in-sync. (Example: the widget updates each day, and when you open the app from same card should be displayed there—if you shuffle in the app the widget should match the new card too). The widget card should have a way to shuffle without opening the app or waiting a day—I suggest a little circle loop arrow dimmed and in the bottom center in the same position as the ‘plus’ in the app version. When you open the app please don’t show a splash screen—just go straight to the current card text. Very good app—make it just a little tighter and you’ve got 5 stars..BehappybehappyVersion: 5.4

Improved widgetThe app is great and functional - and I love that there’s a widget! Just wish it was more functional. It doesn’t seem to rotate strategies or give you an option to refresh it. Only deleting the widget and then re-adding is what seems to switch it up, which is cumbersome. This would be the most useful widget in the App Store if it was a little more dynamic, I want to shuffle it easily as I flick thru my home screens between other tasks….please fix!!.LaurenspankfordVersion: 8.9

The widget is blank- finally fixed with latest updateLove the paper product. The app is nice. Very clean. Minimalist. But the daily widget on the home screen has never worked for me. It just gives a blank box. None of the suggestions to fix the widget worked. But the new version fixed the problem.The original meVersion: 6.1

A good app with one complaintThe app is good though I do wish there was an option to turn off shuffle when coming back to the main menu from the settings and the information, basically being able to lock the same card in place or having a history/undo feature would be great..EtiueVersion: 8.4

The best Oblique Strategies app!I was surprised to see several Oblique Strategies apps in the store, and after trying them all I can say unequivocally that this is the best of the group - it offers the ability to switch between any combination of the four extant editions, it looks good, and it credits Eno and Peter Schmidt (which the others do not do)..Enoch SoamesVersion: 2.0

Mostly greatThis app is mostly great. My primary complaint is the flashing/shuffle effect between cards (after you tap or shake to pick another card, maybe a dozen or so other cards flash by in quick succession before the next one is presented), which I don't understand or enjoy. Also, it's not quiet clear how to dismiss the config/tool menu, but if you tap enough times it disappears..Richard MavisVersion: 2.0

Very cool, very useful, almost 5 starsI love the idea of this app but I feel like it really needs user cards added. I’d love to have a custom deck, one of my own strategies, that can be mixed in with the others. This would be huge as it allows my older self, full of creative ideas, to give my future self little barrier breaking advice. Please add custom decks!!!! Thanks :).69SwagDoctor69Version: 7.3

Creative kick in the headBeen a fan since these were on paper and on my Palm pilot. Nothing fancy, just beautifully minimal to spur a random thought to generate creative thinking and application..Tamale624Version: 2.6

Great! Widget needs auto light/dark option.Simple and minimal; exactly as it should be. The only thing lacking is an option for the widget to switch from light to dark automatically with iOS system setting. Add this and it’s perfect!.Ville__Version: 5.7

Support Black Background Widget!Please support black background widgets! Ive had this app as a big widget on my home screen for years. Just wish it could be white text on black. It seems that’s only supported when entering the app, but not for widgets..Austino3Version: 9.2

Sometimes you needThese directives are logs for stubborn camels that got stuck. It’s a pretty versatile thing...read the manual..Mister566Version: 2.8

Needs customizationYou’re missing the blank card. That’s the most important. Please add a feature for adding cards of our own..MaxhodgesVersion: 9.3

Would love to be able to add my own cards to the deckThis is a great app, but it would be great to have a function for adding our own cards to the deck..John BigbooteVersion: 2.7

Super simple, super far outThanks for building an app version of this. i’m assuming an effort was made to make the results as random as possible, however, i get more frequent than seemingly probable repeats. i’ve never used a physical deck, so maybe this is the case with analog Oblique Strategies as well and i’m simply unaware. Brian Eno... cool guy..GarrettD666Version: 3.3

Oblique Strategies SE Negative Reviews

Draining batteryI recently noticed this app was draining my battery. I’ve been using the Oblique Strategies widget for years and never had an issue previously. Now I’ve had to disable it. iOS 14.0.1 Edited to add - I thought it was the widget but it was actually the app. I force quit the app and it was still draining my battery. I tried rebooting but it still showed up as draining my battery under settings > battery. Unfortunately, I had to uninstall the app..Zombielovergirl12Version: 5.1

This is really dumbI don’t understand the point of this app, waste of money. I’ll change my review if I get any value from it..WhatmikeVersion: 5.4

Not like the previewThe video preview shows all black background but the white on black is more like white on gray.$AINTSMOKVersion: 3.1
