This is a must have app for anyone wanting to combat the idiocy of creationists anywhere you go, or for anyone who is interested in Atheism, Secularism, And Scepticism. It's well written, and thoroughly entertaining! ### 5/5 — None *2015-07-23, version 2.2.1* Growing up Catholic and always having questions, this is exactly what I needed. This app is the reason I bought an IPhone. Thanks, Jason! ### 5/5 — Love *2015-06-23, version 2.2.1* Love this app. Great quick reference point for debating or talking with religious folks. Easy to use and great points made. ### 5/5 — Beautiful Application *2015-05-24, version 2.2.1* I love the Atheist Debater application. I mean come on...how do you truly believe after reading these points? You don't! You're lost! You're confused! You're angry....feeling lied to. Good! Because you were! ### 5/5 — Thought I was alone in my beliefs turns out I wasn't *2014-10-20, version 2.1* Great app I recommend it to any sceptic or well anyone in general ### 3/5 — Efficient *2014-06-14, version 2.1* Covers all the basic topics ### 5/5 — Great app must have !! *2014-06-03, version 2.1* One of the must useful apps ever is a must have read others reviews there all great. Great app must have get and start reading all the great info ### 5/5 — So good! *2014-05-05, version 2.1* So helpful and thought me a lot! ### 5/5 — Very good content *2014-02-14, version 2.1* The discussion points are pretty good. Divided in particular subjects make it very convenient. Arguments are not always sound but...in general it is good tool to make think. ### 4/5 — Good *2013-12-31, version 2.1* This is a great app. Kudos ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2013-12-16, version 2.1* Great stuff. ### 3/5 — Great ammo *2013-10-24, version 2.1* Great ammo for the bible belt nut jobs here in South Carolina.

I feel this was just an half-baked effort to sell an app. There are some insights, but nothing you can't find free on the internet like irochariots.org, atheist debates by Matt Dillahunty etc, the many blogs and YouTube videos available. The App is basically just a bunch of rich text files with basic formatting, probably written on MS word, stitched together. I think it's a bit of a rip off especially for the price. Expected much more and very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Roped off *2014-11-01, version 2.1* This is garbage. Such limited content. Save your money. I really wish Apple would refund you once you realized how bad an app was after 10 seconds. ### 1/5 — Just use Wikipedia. *2013-06-07, version 2.1* Very small amount of content, not even referenced. Sorry, but this is just a quick buck and not a good representation of atheism. ### 1/5 — Arguments are Terrible and Lack All Facts *2013-02-27, version 2.1* The TRUTH shall set you free and the Truth is the Bible backed by Gods Word which is authenticated by history, evidence and archeological facts and not some weak opinions based on zero facts. I will stand on proven truth. God Bless ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2011-01-28, version 2.1* Arguments way too simplistic/basic/infantile... No good content for the money. Creationist claims index way better, and free! Wish I'd read these reviews before purchasing. ### 1/5 — Unintelligent *2010-07-24* Far too many straw-man approaches at the Bible. I find flaws i'n all his arguments, first and most obvious is his defense of evolution. He states that evolution is "not only a fact, but a scientific theory." That statement is repugnant, if it was a fact, based on evidence, then we could prove it, and would no longer call it a theory. The FACT that we cannot prove it's process is why it is theory. Scientific theory is different than music theory, contrary to the authors own explanation;) Evolution is explained as random mutations, which is unscientific, it hasn't been observed, also unscientific, and man has yet to recreate or force evolution of a species in a controlled environment. Failing all 3 criteria for a scientific process, I would like to know where the facts come from, certainly not the 99.9% of the scientific community that believe in the theory, or was that statistic also a lie, you'll have to open your minds and actually research these things on your own, or remain ignorant to the facts. There is more empirical evidence to prove Jesus raised Himself from the dead than the THEORY of specific evolution. ### 1/5 — Very weak. *2010-07-05* This app does a disservice to both thoughtful atheists and Christians alike. Better arguments can be found for atheism, and the straw-man Christianity these arguments attack is a joke. There can be a strong point made for either side, but all this app does is confirms what a an immature atheist already believes and lulls them into a sleepy superiority complex. To assume your intellectual opponent is stupid is always a bad idea. Always deal with the strongest form of an ideology, not it's weakest. One example of the poor quality of this app is it's treatment of Pascals wager. The wager is not an argument for God. Pascal merely Dias that if one had examined all the evidence and was in completely neutral stance, it makes sense to wager on God's existence, which is only reasonable. I doubt there is ever really a situation where this comes into play, and Christians who use this as a defense of their beliefs are failing at life. They are probably half to blame for this kind of thinking in the first place. ### 2/5 — Nearly useless *2014-03-26, version 2.1* Nearly useless. All of this could be found in a blog post. ### 2/5 — Eh *2013-01-20, version 2.1* Thought it would be filled with all the hard stuff to remember but it's not. Took about 10 minutes to go through. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One stop shopping for countering apologetics *2020-07-17, version 3.0* Nearly everything you need is here in this guide. This is the basic tool set to counter Christian apologetics used to defend their bankrupt worldview. ### 5/5 — Anti theist *2020-04-20, version 3.0* Fantastic app, I desperately need another! I’m a closet atheist and this is helpful. It walks through several major topics in simplicity. A must for new atheists. ### 5/5 — Wealth of Knowledge *2019-08-06, version 3.0* What a great app! This should be a required course in public schools. It teaches people how to think critically. It’s a positive approach to being a human. It’s a shame that there’s no way to do that without making religions look bad. ### 5/5 — My Go-To Resource *2018-04-01* Thanks for the updates!!! I was so worried that I would lose this great resource. This debater has helped me in many debates and discussions. ### 5/5 — Lifesaver... in the clutch! *2017-12-18, version 3.0* Awesome app. Never leave home without. I was starting to feel naked when I couldn’t access on phone anymore. Thank you for continuing to optimize. ~Cheers ### 5/5 — Please Update *2017-12-15, version 2.2.1* Please update to work with iOS 11 so it will work on my new iPhone. Thanks! Love it! ### 5/5 — Great App, but needs update for iOS 11 *2017-09-29, version 2.2.1* Really liked this app, but it needs an update to run on iOS 11. And as of this post, the developer website is unavailable. :( ### 5/5 — Great app. *2017-03-15* Military grade facts & easily understandable. ### 5/5 — Good *2016-06-09, version 2.2.1* I really enjoy this app, it has good information ### 5/5 — One of my favorite apps! *2015-10-10* This is about the only app I actually ever paid for. My friend had it on his phone so I purchased it immediately. Alas! Perfect refutations and counter-arguments at my fingertips!
