Got an opinion? Prove it. Topic Hero turns hot takes into real debates. Pick a side on today's most talked-about topics, make your case, and let an impartial AI judge decide who argued it better — in seconds. HOW IT WORKS Swipe a topic to agree or disagree, and you're matched with someone who took the opposite side. Trade arguments in the chat, then get a verdict that names a winner and explains exactly why. Win or lose, you'll see how your reasoning stacked up. THREE WAYS TO PLAY - Match with debaters everywhere — swipe a topic and go head-to-head with a real person who disagrees. - Challenge your friends — call someone out on a specific take; they automatically argue the other side. - Hot-seat, in the same room — press and hold any topic to debate a friend on one phone. Timed turns, a coin flip to start, film-countdown beeps, and an instant spoken-word verdict. Just talk — the app listens and judges. RECORD IT. SHARE IT. Turn a debate into a video worth sharing. Topic Hero films you both with the topic, turns and timers on screen — and the AI verdict drops live on camera, so the reaction is part of the clip. Save it to your gallery or share straight to TikTok, Instagram and WhatsApp. Everything — recording, judging and video processing — happens on your phone. Your footage never leaves the device. A JUDGE YOU CAN TRUST Verdicts land in about a second, and every result comes with an Integrity check: did each debater stay on topic, and did they actually argue their own side? You'll see both as clear percentages — and if someone argued the wrong side by mistake, the judge quotes the exact lines and explains how it counted. SEE WHAT THE WORLD IS ARGUING ABOUT Open straight into Trending — the hottest topics from every category, gathered in one place and shuffled fresh every time. From sport and science to entertainment and the news, there's always something worth taking a side on. MAKE IT YOURS Claim your Topic Hero ID, add a bio, and build a profile that shows your record — agree vs disagree, wins, and debates at a glance.

Free to play, supported by the occasional ad. Stop scrolling past opinions you disagree with. Take a side, make your case, and let the AI call it. Download Topic Hero and start debating. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-03 This is a big one - everything from our last three updates lands at once. THE HERO STORE Spend the coins you win on cosmetics for your profile: - Ten illustrated winner's stamps - Knockout, Mic Drop, Big Brain and more - instead of the same trophy on every win. New at the top of the range: Lucie, a silver hand throwing the L, for when winning politely isn't enough. - Stamp prices climb like a ladder: your first is within reach after about 10 wins. - Animated profile backgrounds - waving aurora curtains, expanding rings, travelling contours - each previews as itself before you buy. On the most atmospheric ones, your profile panels turn to glass so the animation shows through. - Pick a font for your name in debates. - Your winner's stamp now lands on the verdict when you win, with your points on it - and your opponent sees it too. FILTER YOUR FEED - Each category now has a Filter topics button - pick up to three topics and they float to the top of your feed. Nothing gets hidden. - Trending has its own category filter, and your picks are remembered on your phone. - Cards carry a small colour-matched topic label so you can see what you're looking at. SMOOTHER EVERYWHERE - The app goes straight from the intro video to your categories - no more empty waiting screen. - Opening a category no longer flickers a "no questions" message, and each deck open makes half the network requests it used to. - Swiping between categories is smoother - the category name no longer stutters. - The Aurora Drift background now plays silky-smooth on every phone. - Readability fixes across light mode, pale profile backgrounds and chat bubble skins. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-20 Topic Hero just had its biggest update yet.
