Based on the phenomenally successful book Wreck This Journal by author and illustrator Keri Smith, Wreck This App brings creativity and chaos right to your fingertips.

Wreck This App helps you tap into your creative side in an entirely new way: by exploring your best mess-making and destructive abilities. Guided by more than 70 prompts, you can use an assortment of tools to deface photos, scribble wildly, drip ink across your screen, shatter your drawings, and more. If you like to color outside the lines, you’ve found the right app.

The app features:
- An array of drawing tools to scribble, spray-paint, smear, distort, type, shatter, and destroy
- Illustrations and prompts by bestselling author and illustrator Keri Smith
- Easy sharing tools so you can show off your best work

Apple has featured Wreck This App in New & Noteworthy.

Publishers Weekly calls the app “hours of fun… A really successful example of an experience based on a book that includes things neither a print book not an e-book could do.” Good E-Reader recommends Wreck This App “for grown-ups who want to channel their inner-children during the morning commute by letting the creativity ooze from their app-enabled devices.”

Pros and cons of Wreck This App app for iPhone and iPad

Wreck This App app good for

I LOVED IT!!! I played and recorded everyday!! Maybe add more pages though... I was disappointed when it ended!!
This is a really cool app. Yes its a little pricey but I think it worth it. I love how you can re-do the pages over and over. I find it super fun and a good stress reliever
As an artist Im always seeking perfection from my work, this app really enables you to let your messy, unruly side out. Its nostalgic reminder of ones youth and the natural, unrestrained fun associated with personal expression.
Really fun app for creative people or people who need a little push to get creative! Great little activities you can do at your leisure!
I have the book, so I thought this would be fun. It was, but it is overpriced. $1.99 would be more propriety for what you get. Perhaps selling it as a book through iBooks would make the price seem more palatable. I would only suggest this for a silly artist personality, looking for a way to change pace, break a drawing block.

Some bad moments

So not worth 6 bucks, do yourself a favor and do not waste your money on this one!
Wow like if thats the way the price it then I want my money back
Its the same thing as the book nothing different. Not fun at all. The book is so much better
It is absolutely stupid. I wish I could get my money back because it is not worth $5 or "4.99" I do not recommend getting it or any of the other ones like it.
This app is so boring! ITS JUST COLORING WHICH YOU CAN GET A FREE APP FOR! I want my money back apple
This has basically everything the book does, but the book has more. Highly disappointed. I wish I hadnt wasted my money on it :( but its taught me a very valuable lesson, READ REVIEWS BEFORE BUYING. Wish there was a way to get my money back haha
