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.

Loving it, few minor suggestions
Would love to see more prominent figures, such as the Buddha, or “The President” (could be generic and based on whoever’s current president) the Pope, Christopher Hitchens (or someone similar)
just an idea!

Amazing concept but why the cap?
I just downloaded this app today, and it’s very polished and professional looking. I love the concept but this is all undermined by the fact I can only type about 3-4 short sentences before it word caps me? I was disappointed by this as I was not able to type my full debate in any of the reply’s.
