Ratings and reviews

I am starting my master's degree in philosophy. I bought its premium, and the price is so affordable for the quality content of the app.This app is undoubtedly the best philosophy app out there. It refreshes me on many philosophical terms. It also provides me with a lot of new philosophical terms. I'm not sure, but I feel like everything you need to know about philosophy is in the app. It's crazy! Kudos to the creator of this app. You are a blessing indeed.

I'm a long-time student of philosophy and I have to say this app has information I was not aware of, and so far I haven't come across anything I've found disputable. Definitely worth buying to get rid of the constant ads.

I'm loving it! It has a wide variety of different things so you're not all done with it in a week. And different entirely because of adding things like 'prisoners choice' and things like that!
