Vote and Defend your Side

### 5/5 — Sided

*2021-01-17, version 1.1.5*

Amazing app , Fun To play , easy to use. Go chargers !⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

### 5/5 — Love this App

*2020-12-30, version 1.1.4*

Using this app is like sitting around a table with your best buddies and talking about guy stuff.  Sports...politics...world issues.  Someone asks a question and everyone gives an opinion because it is easy to do and because the questions are fun to talk about.  
Something tells me my phone is going to berate me for more usage time.

### 5/5 — Sided app

*2020-11-23, version 1.1.0*

Love the app, they did a good job in making this app.. love using it to debate with others

### 2/5 — App ruined by users

*2020-08-27, version 1.0.6*

Too many stupid questions. The app needs better content.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Concept and App

*2020-07-16, version 1.0.3*

I love this concept. People have to put a face and name to their arguments and it enables you to disagree while hearing other people out and presenting evidence. The rewards are also a benefit. Which is a first in social media. Voting and getting engaged is super easy. It’s also applicable to so many different topics and realms including sports, entertainment, politics, and more. I love this app! The app itself runs smoothly and is pleasing to the eye. The interface is easy to use and figure out as well. Great app!

### 5/5 — I am addicted!

*2020-07-14, version 1.0.3*

Sided App is Golden! No more mindless screen time on IG and FB for me! T is too harsh and lacks organization and results!  
This app is fun and easy to use… I love how it engages thought-provoking activities by bringing users of all walks of life together in a non-critical, non-cynical, and extremely safe and fun environment! 
I am female…and we lack forums where we can participate with men and people of diverse cultures without judgement. This site is captivating in a non-biased atmosphere where the users continually benefit from its diverse nature and subject matters! It’s perfect for today’s social distancing climate. Its a great way to stay engaged and open to a variety of opinions and positions… from Coke vs Pepsi, to Current Events on what’s working and what’s not... just take a side, earn points and win a debate or two!  Go for it!!

### 5/5 — Sided

*2020-07-12, version 1.0.3*

As they say there are many sides to every story. Novel platform to debate.
