Key of education in debate
I find this to be a very useful tool to my education in common debate and argument. The app uses ai to fit common charecters in reality to help you learn how to counteract claims and the app has courses that show you things like fallacies and arguments to keep you’re debate in a win
Great concept terrible execution
I love the idea of going head to head with another competent debate partner and receiving feedback, but the technical issues ruin the experience. The mic was not picking up what I was saying so I spend half my allotted time correcting it, or switching to typing which slows me down while my AI partner can write an entire paragraph. In addition one minute isn’t enough time to respond to all the points made by my AI partner so of course they’re going to “win” every time. Very frustrating experience.

Unethical and deeply concerning
This would be a 0-star review if that were possible. The app teaches gaslighting (?!) as an “advanced tactic” under the General Skills and Career section — seriously? That’s not debate, it’s psychological manipulation. Promoting this as a legit skill is irresponsible and dangerous. Totally unacceptable.

Interesting
So far from what I played seemed cool to me.
Waste of time
No instructions provided, so even though I understood the point of some of the “games,” others were unclear. The “debate” is literally no different than having a chat with C**tGpt or Gr*k about current events and issues. You’re supposed to debate topics with the AI chatbot, but it strictly limits how long your comments can be, so you don’t have room to provide any supporting facts (and then you get negative feedback for that). The worst flaw is the inherent bias. Remember, it’s supposed to be a debate—-but it won’t let you disagree with it, (at least on some things)! Example: When debating climate change, it completely shuts down the (factual!) statement that there is some scientific disagreement regarding whether climate change is completely anthropogenic (caused by humans). Instead, you get “red” (bad) feedback that says the IPCC has decided humans are responsible for climate change, and apparently that’s the “be all, end all” and no further argument is allowed. It doesn’t even concede that some climate change may be natural. Regardless of one’s opinion, the whole point of the app is to DEBATE. 🙄 Don’t waste your time (or money for in-app purchases); instead, ask a chatbot to debate with you and to help you understand and identify rhetoric and logical fallacies.
