Features & Capabilities

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.”

User Reviews

Many reviews praise the app as a fun, portable doodling companion that mirrors the book and supports color changes. However, repeated crashes when changing color, concerns about value for money, UI quirks that hide tools, and the sense that the physical book offers a superior experience dominate the negative feedback.

Pros

Fun and engaging doodle experience that users enjoy.
Color tools with updates enabling color changes.
Portable digital companion to the Wreck This Book that lets you doodle anywhere and mimics pages.

Cons

Frequent crashes when changing color, signaling stability issues.
Not worth the price; many reviews feel the paid app isn’t worth the cost.
Initial UI behavior can hide art tools on some pages, requiring tapping checkboxes to access them.
Not as good as the physical book; many users prefer the real book experience.

Recent reviews

One page tells you to scribble the cover, the Title page, and the instructions; but the art tools aren’t available on those pages. I know this is (probably) an old app, but I’d like to see it fixed. Nevertheless, I love this thing, and I’d like to get some copies of the original books! PS: I JUST FIGURED IT OUT!!! You gotta tap the checkboxes to access those pages with the art tools. Would’ve been nice to know… PPS: JUST REMEMBERED TO ASK ABOUT A COLOR PICKER, OK BYE!
