Three apps to train creativity: Swift Playground, Writing Prompts Bundle, Music Memos
Swift Playground, a free app from Apple for iPad (iOS 10), gamifies learning Swift programming to create iOS apps, targeting creatives who lack coding skills. Writing Prompts Bundle (€4.99, Android/iOS) offers tools for writers, including over 600 prompts and 2000 random words, plus character and party prompts. Music Memos (free, iOS) records and organizes musical ideas, automatically identifying key and transcribing instruments, but risks homogenizing compositions with Apple's default arrangements.
