AWESOME!!!

It is unlikely I'll use this much on iMessage only because I rarely have those kinds of discussions on iMessage. But if/when I do, this is AWESOME! Friends don't let friends argue illogically! 😁

Now... if this is ever made available for direct use on Show of Hands app, Safari & general internet discussion sites - where I'd use it DAILY - I'll be a very happy camper! Came to App Store *specifically* to find an app that would make it easier to copy/paste logical-argument-fallacy-flags into the overwhelming number of twisted irrational arguments rampant on the web!

In the meantime, I'm going to copy/paste these little jewels into web chats! THANKS!!!

Appeal to emotion

I'm not sure rating this 3 stars because you don't want to hurt your friends feelings is valid. The app works, it's funny, and the labels are accurate when applied correctly. Only thing that's missing I think is Appeal to Emotion.

Developer Response ,

Thanks! "Appeal to Emotion" is found in the Red Herrings section.

Just one little problem...

Yes, they're educational. Yes, they're funny. But I'd be reluctant to use these with any of my friends & families, for fear of causing offense. Any discussions I have in which these may be relevant wouldn't be conducted via iMessage.

Great for a laugh, though.
