Debate Arena

Great concept terrible execution I love the idea of going head to head with another competent debate partner and receiving feedback, but the technical issues ruin the experience. The mic was not picking up what I was saying so I spend half my allotted time correcting it, or switching to typing which slows me down while my AI partner can write an entire paragraph. In addition one minute isn’t enough time to respond to all the points made by my AI partner so of course they’re going to “win” every time. Very frustrating experience.

Interesting So far from what I played seemed cool to me.

Waste of time No instructions provided, so even though I understood the point of some of the “games,” others were unclear. The “debate” is literally no different than having a chat with C**tGpt or Gr*k about current events and issues. You’re supposed to debate topics with the AI chatbot, but it strictly limits how long your comments can be, so you don’t have room to provide any supporting facts (and then you get negative feedback for that). The worst flaw is the inherent bias. Remember, it’s supposed to be a debate—-but it won’t let you disagree with it, (at least on some things)! Example: When debating climate change, it completely shuts down the (factual!) statement that there is some scientific disagreement regarding whether climate change is completely anthropogenic (caused by humans). Instead, you get “red” (bad) feedback that says the IPCC has decided humans are responsible for climate change, and apparently that’s the “be all, end all” and no further argument is allowed. It doesn’t even concede that some climate change may be natural. Regardless of one’s opinion, the whole point of the app is to DEBATE. 🙄 Don’t waste your time (or money for in-app purchases); instead, ask a chatbot to debate with you and to help you understand and identify rhetoric and logical fallacies.

Loving it, few minor suggestions Would love to see more prominent figures, such as the Buddha, or “The President” (could be generic and based on whoever’s current president) the Pope, Christopher Hitchens (or someone similar) just an idea!

Amazing concept but why the cap? I just downloaded this app today, and it’s very polished and professional looking. I love the concept but this is all undermined by the fact I can only type about 3-4 short sentences before it word caps me? I was disappointed by this as I was not able to type my full debate in any of the reply’s.

Great idea but P2P Love the concept and the execution is well done. Unfortunately after a VERY brief introductory period you have to pay to continue. It would be better to allow users to earn AI coins ( which is what’s required to debate) through in app actions

Best educational game for fallacies sporting and arguing Whoever made this, did a great job! Only thing is coins runs out quickly when trying to see how the app works I went through all of my coins

not bad but not good it’s a great concept but it needs a lot of work still. can’t send the text very well with in a debate. can’t see the text and type out so you can’t review what their statement was. and it’s hard to click on stuff but other than that it really is a great thought! just please fix it so i can send the dang debate 😭 i wanna win.
