Latest reviews of Logical Fallacies app for iPhone and iPad
This app will not stay open, it restarts every time you leave it.
Thanks for this app and rich content, format, audio, etc. At first I thought, hey...can you turn off the audio...but then remembered the volume control on my iPhone. Missing middle? LOL. Thanks again!!! Great cure to mere meme musing :-)
This app is great for anyone who wants to improve their ability to communicate and debate effectively. Its especially useful for people studying law, philosophy, theology, etc., but it can be utilized by anyone who wishes to aid in the ability to get their point across. As an engineering student, Im gonna get the most use out of this when explaining design decisions and when discussions heat up with friends at the bar.
This app is FULL of inexcusable spelling errors and clumsy phrasing which makes me question the time the author put into the logic of his text (which is really the most important part of the apps content). The author should make use of colored text to precisely identify parts of arguments since it can be hard to tell exactly where a phrase of interest begins and ends.
Great for help arguing at the bar!!
