  • Crank Your Thinking Up!

    Ok, the simple cartoon sequential format is not your all-singing-dancing game app! But the 5 star rating is for how this App is carefully crafted to engage you in a fun but very serious way to teach you essential skills in our social media world where everyone is an “expert”. Unlike just reading about a topic, this game format makes you think actively all the way through. The Cranky Uncle teaches you and defines all his science-denying strategies. Then he quizzes you so you know you can spot and outwit how he operates. The higher your score the more cranky you make him!

    Three suggestions. For international users some of the US famous names aren’t familiar. I didn’t realise until the end that what was on his head was the tinfoil hat - and I’m not sure everyone would know why cranks might wear a tinfoil hat!! Encouraging you to answer quickly (to earn more points) doesn’t seem right to me: critical thinking is “slow thinking” and should take all the time an individual needs to get good answers!

  • Stupid

    It sounded like it would be good but honestly not really.
  • Should be part of every school syllabus

    I am so heartened to see this app exists. Full of necessary information and a great way to help children and young adults (or old) navigate politics on social media. Hopefully this app will continue to get the funding it deserves and continue to be further refined and maintained.
  • Great idea a little under done

    Love the concept but find the presentation a bit clunky. Hope you find the time to add some polish.
  • This game is better than reviews say it is

    This game is insane and is worthy of a 5 stars and an encouraging review to get others to download it some very ignorant people have actually committed impossible expectations which this app has taught me how to catch these people are complaining about every single glitch and bug and expecting the app to fix all of them. Such as “the game wouldn’t load” I have not experienced this issue so it must be there internet. People are also spreading lies about this app saying there committing fallacies when it is clear there’re not. The only fallacies in this app are either examples or tests to see if a person can spot them. Also all the bugs people are accusing this app of having are false there could have been bugs in the past but this app is clearly bug free. Any review below 4 stars was probably written before I downloaded this app or is a complaining person on the internet trying to go after a small business for attention. Please download this app you will love it. It can help you improve your grades, get better at logic, catch formal and informal fallacies, and improve your debating and reasoning skills. I highly incentivize you to download trust me you will not regret it

  • Needs testing on more phones

    Love the concept but dialogue boxes do not fit on iPhone SE 1st generation (2016) screen.
  • This app is rubbish

    Completed the initial quiz two days ago and it’s still calculating my responses! It’s as good as climate scientists 🤣
  • it’s a game!

    This deserves five stars. My professor told my class that if we reach 1500 point we get extra credit and this game is simply yet isn’t too bad. I like it.
