About

Critical Thinking

Features

Most bad arguments are not stupid. They are convincing — that is exactly why they work. This is a practice app, not a lecture hall. Every morning you get three questions built on a real case: a report that quietly leaves out the bad weeks, a headline that implies more than it says, an argument that almost holds. You answer, you see why the wrong options feel right, and you keep the move that defuses that trick next time. WHAT'S INSIDE Daily practice Three questions a day, each with a full breakdown. Three minutes, and the reasoning stays with you. Three courses, 66 lessons • Critical Thinking — 21 lessons with video and notes: testing arguments and sources, spotting manipulation, making better-balanced decisions. • Critical Thinking and Health — 21 lessons on telling evidence from persuasive stories, checking health claims and deciding without panic. • Cognitive Biases — 24 lessons on the most common thinking traps: how each one works, where it catches you in money, work and the news, and the move that defuses it. 50 quizzes Five topics — logic, biases, media, data and sources. Ten questions each, about five minutes. AI analysis Paste a news story, a claim or a situation you are stuck on. You get it taken apart: what is actually being claimed, what the facts support, where the weak points are, what is worth checking, and a balanced conclusion — plus one question to ask yourself. Progress you can read XP, a streak and skill bars by topic, so you can see which kind of reasoning keeps catching you out. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: the daily practice, the first two lessons of every course, five quizzes and five AI analyses. Premium: all 66 lessons, all 50 quizzes, the random quiz mix and unlimited AI analyses. SUBSCRIPTION Premium is available as a monthly or an annual auto-renewable subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase with no renewal. Prices are shown in the app before you confirm, and payment is charged to your Apple Account. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings.
