User reviews

Good app

It is good up to a point. Please add more term definitions and more quizzes. Ability to review progress to monitor improvement of understanding of fallacies would be helpful.
Lots of potential. Thanks, I have been looking for a app to exercise critical thinking.

Fascinating content in a disappointing interface

Somehow, I was hoping to be able to answer a series of simple questions about something I'm hearing and then have it tell me what type of fallacy it is and a little more information about it. This app is really just a hierarchically organized e-book. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading it and I'll probably keep it on my iPhone permanently. It's fun to read in little chunks. A few days ago, a coworker sent something illogical in an e-mail. With this app, I was eventually able to come up with a reasonable explanation for why it was illogical. I just wish the process of answering that question were more direct. It seemed like it should be easier.
