Getting stuck with writer's block is a huge pain. Since each person's writing style differs, creative prompts can be very hit-or-miss.

The Prompts app provides helpful questions that offer inspiration. The developer, Tanner Christensen, told Mashable that Prompts works well because it provides generic sentences. If one doesn't work, users have a slew of 999 other prompts to choose from, including tidbits of advice such as "focus only on one detail" and "disprove the facts."

"I wanted to write more and wouldn't take any excuse for not doing so," Christensen said. "Prompts addresses not knowing how to start writing and getting stuck."

The app lets you share your work to social networks or send it via email and back it up to Dropbox. Another handy feature is its ability to track your word count and writing speed.

The app is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
