Do you trust your own thinking? Most people unknowingly fall for the same logical fallacies and cognitive biases every day — in conversations, on social media, in the news, and in their own decisions. Fallacy is the first brain training app built to sharpen one critical skill: your ability to think clearly, spot flawed reasoning, and win any argument with logic. PEOPLE YOU MEET — OUTSMART REAL-LIFE CHARACTERS Ever tried reasoning with a WhatsApp Uncle who forwards conspiracy theories? Or an overconfident AI that sounds smart but gets everything wrong? In People You Meet, you go head-to-head with characters inspired by people in your life. Spot their logical fallacies, identify their cognitive biases, plan your comeback, and win arguments using critical thinking instead of volume. Every character uses different reasoning tricks — this brain training mode teaches you more about logic and flawed thinking than any textbook. MASTER 30+ LOGICAL FALLACIES From Ad Hominem and Straw Man to the Slippery Slope and Appeal to Authority — master every major logical fallacy through real-world brain training scenarios. Each logical fallacy includes clear explanations, everyday examples, and progressive reasoning challenges that build genuine critical thinking. Whether you encounter these logical fallacies in the news, at work, or in a debate, you will spot them instantly after training. RECOGNIZE 20+ COGNITIVE BIASES Confirmation bias. Anchoring. The Dunning-Kruger effect. These invisible cognitive biases shape your decisions every day. Fallacy is the only brain training game that teaches you to detect cognitive biases in yourself and others through hands-on reasoning exercises. Understanding your cognitive biases is the foundation of stronger critical thinking and better decisions. DEBATE MODE — SHARPEN YOUR REASONING Step into real debates on real topics. Read opposing arguments, spot the logical fallacies hidden inside, and build powerful reasoning skills. Debate Mode is the ultimate brain training for critical thinking — improve how you argue, evaluate claims, and win debates using pure logic. Every debate round strengthens your reasoning and sharpens your ability to spot cognitive biases under pressure. CHALLENGE MODE — SPOT BIAS IN REAL NEWS Scroll through headlines and posts from real-world news sources. Your mission: spot the flawed reasoning and logical fallacies before time runs out. Challenge Mode is brain training for the real world — building the critical thinking and media literacy skills you need to detect cognitive biases in the news you consume daily. PRECISION IQ SCORING & PROGRESS TRACKING Your reasoning ability is measured with a precision IQ score that updates as you train. Track your 30, 60, and 90-day progress. Watch your critical thinking improve with clear insights into your cognitive growth. Brain training works best when you see results — Fallacy shows you exactly how your reasoning improves over time. DAILY BRAIN EXERCISES & 5 DIFFICULTY LEVELS Build a daily brain training habit with fresh logic puzzles and reasoning challenges every day. Maintain your streak and strengthen your mental fitness. Five difficulty levels take you from beginner to expert reasoning — keeping brain training challenging no matter your skill level. WHY FALLACY IS THE SMARTEST BRAIN TRAINING APP Other brain games train memory or math. Fallacy is the only brain training app focused on logical fallacies, cognitive biases, and real-world critical thinking. From planning a comeback against flawed reasoning to winning debates with logic — this is brain training that makes you smarter in conversations, arguments, and everyday life.

Point your phone at the sky, tap a star or planet, and explore what you are looking at. Stargazer brings a live sky map, observing tools and astronomy guides together in one app. TWIN SKY: NOW BESIDE LATER See two calculated skies for the same observing location, from 15 minutes to eight hours apart. Link direction and zoom for comparison, or explore each view independently. Weather, darkness and your horizon affect actual visibility. GUIDED OBSERVING SESSIONS Work through your saved targets with the sky visible. The guide prioritises targets becoming low sooner. Aim, skip or explicitly mark a target observed; aiming alone never logs an observation. NIGHTSTAND A large dimmable bedside clock over a quietly changing real-time sky. Landscape is the default: prop Duo with its hinge at the top, with clock and weather over the sky on the facing display. See Moon phase and available weather, switch to red night vision, and choose whether to keep the screen awake. The clock uses your device’s time zone. Weather needs an internet connection and includes its update time. AN OBSERVING DESK BESIDE YOUR SKY On iPhone Duo, iPad and other roomy windows, keep the sky visible beside your observing workspace. Browse targets, check their altitude and find them in the sky without covering the view. A compact observing desk is also available on ordinary iPhones. COMPARE TWO TARGETS Compare the altitude of two objects across the night, preview the sky at a chosen time and jump to each target’s highest point within the charted window. Charts use your device’s local time. Actual visibility also depends on weather, darkness and your horizon. PLAN YOUR NIGHT Keep a saved target checklist, mark what you have observed and write field notes about your equipment, conditions and discoveries. Plans and notes are saved locally on your device. A TABLETOP OBSERVATORY Use separate sky and control panes in tabletop mode. Native Duo fold handling follows the available window and reserved fold region, while your target and observing plan stay together as the layout changes. POINT, SEARCH AND EXPLORE Explore planets, the Moon, stars, constellations, deep-sky objects and satellites. Search by name, tap an object for details, save favourites or use guidance to locate it. Constellation artwork and adjustable sky layers help you read the sky. EXPLORE IN 3D AND AR Explore the solar system, planets and moons in 3D. Supported iPhones and iPads also offer AR views. Discover lunar features and landing sites, and see how Moon phases work. NOVA YOUR ASTRONOMY GUIDE Ask about objects and astronomy. Compatible devices use Apple’s on-device models when available; built-in local answers remain available otherwise. A kids mode uses simpler explanations. MORE FOR YOUR NEXT NIGHT OUT • Tonight’s overview, meteor showers and satellite passes • Time travel through the sky • Night photography planning • Stargazing conditions and dark-sky tools • Printable star charts and shareable cards • A sky quiz and astronomy facts • Red night-vision mode • Home-screen widgets No account is required. Location helps calculate your sky. Optional weather, maps and online imagery use their respective services; attribution and data information are available in the app.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Fallacy at 4.5 against Stargazer's 3.0. Fallacy also leads on ratings volume (58 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Stargazer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fallacy holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fallacy has 58 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Fallacy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Stargazer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fallacy ships an update fortnightly, Stargazer weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
