About Bad Arguments

This app is aimed at newcomers to the field of logical reasoning, particularly those who, to borrow a phrase from Pascal, are so made that they understand best through visuals. I have selected a small set of common errors in reasoning and visualized them using memorable illustrations that are supplemented with lots of examples.

The hope is that the reader will learn from these pages some of the most common pitfalls in arguments and be able to identify and avoid them in practice.

What are users saying about Bad Arguments

N70%
by N####:

This is a really nice collection and pleasing to look at, however, as many have noted, the font size and zoom capability are terrible. I end up taking screenshots on my phone and zoom in on them each time I want to really read the full passages. If the devs can make the interface more user friendly, this app would be very nice indeed.

R70%
by R####:

While an appeal to more reasoned discussions is exactly we need at this time, I cannot recommend this particular app as it seems to promote a specific worldview. It is not necessary for each example listed to be used to try to discount conservative thinking or promote liberal thinking and obfuscate conservative arguments. This author uses his platform to promote the gamut progressive ideas. Global warming, atheism, etc. Progressive propoganda disguised as a helpful little "logic" primer. Garbage. And shame on you.

N70%
by N####:

This is a really well written book. It is best read on a tablet as the print is small. I have shared its concepts with my young daugters and they are really into it. This is really needed in this current chaotic political environment: it brings into high contrast the illogical policies and distractions...

Q70%
by Q####:

I'm sorry to say that I must agree with other reviewers in saying that this app is unbearably small for comfortable use on a phone due to [1] TINY fonts and [2] no reasonable ZOOM controls. The content itself is top notch, but as an app this is very much a failure for devices with a small format display. (And my phone is quite large, yet this app is painful to look at). I would much rather pay for a hard cover copy in order to be able to read the thing than be forced to deal with this terrible Android "book" app.

V70%
by V####:

This app is unusable on phone screen. Even on 8" tablet, the font is too small for comfortable reading.

U70%
by U####:

Cumbersome interface, lettering is so small and zoom is useless. Basically looking at images rather than actual text. There should be a standard text only mode. Deleted after about 3 pages of trying.

G70%
by G####:

I would rate it higher if I were actually able to read it on my device. The print it's very small and the app does not allow zooming of images or increase to text size, etc.

N70%
by N####:

The content is great. The format is awful. Had to delete. I think it's better suited for a tablet.

Y70%
by Y####:

Somewhat biased politically which brings its own humour. Nice sketch drawings.

Q70%
by Q####:

The concept, authorship and illustrations are excellent! I'd just like to be able to go straight to any page-spread from the index (live link), instead of flipping through every time I re-open the app. But lovely and useful, thankyou.

N70%
by N####:

Life necessity for those not neck deep in philosophy, when everything around them requires it.

N70%
by N####:

The contents are educational, just that the pages tend to go past the border making it unreadable

N70%
by N####:

An application really everyone should read. To all the guys having problems with reading small fonts: Get yourself a pair of better glasses! ;-)

N70%
by N####:

Barely able to read without exhausting my eyes.

N70%
by N####:

The app is good, but the lack of zoom kills my eyes

C70%
by C####:

The app is beautifully illustrated with excellent examples & contains accurate and helpful information- but, even zoomed in, I need a magnifying glass to read it. But, it's good enough that I keep it.

N70%
by N####:

A good quick overview of logical fallacies. The zoom was more than enough to read on my phone.

N70%
by N####:

Well written but unsuitable for small screens. Font is much too small.

P70%
by P####:

Text to small. Horrible to use

M70%
