## Oblique Strategies SE Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Needs customization"
You’re missing the blank card. That’s the most important. Please add a feature for adding cards of our own.
-- maxhodges, 2024-10-09

### ***-- "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.
-- austino3, 2024-09-18

### ***** "love the widgets"
would love to see a smaller widget option tho
-- anya11111999, 2024-08-11

### ***-- "Improved widget"
The 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!!
-- laurenspankford, 2024-05-28

### ****- "A good app with one complaint"
The 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.
-- Etiue, 2024-01-08

### ***** "Ily"
No seriously
-- Caleb13367864, 2023-11-19

### ***** "OS"
if eno, eno
-- latersssssss, 2023-09-01

### ****- "Very cool, very useful, almost 5 stars"
I 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 :)
-- 69SwagDoctor69, 2022-12-04

### ***** "Better late than never"
I 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.
-- Popo0017, 2022-06-09

### ***** "The widget is blank- finally fixed with latest update"
Love 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 me, 2021-09-30
