The app helps you start better discussions with over 18,000 swipeable cards. Each card contains a question you can answer in-person, via social media, or by answering a poll.

Sparks provides you a limited number of free questions. After that, you can unlock the full app via a lifetime purchase or sign up for an affordable subscription!
