Pros and cons of Mind Tricks app for iPhone and iPad
Mind Tricks app good for
I dont knoe what everyone is complaining about this app is the best all these Mind Tricks happen in everyday life sure It doesnt tell u how to do it but it shows u how ur mind plays tricks on u everyday
You can have the knowledge of how people become biased and take caution mot to be similarly biased yourself. Its a good app giving you useful information.
This is one of the most informativ apps ive ever seen. And Great for knowing how to perform some mentalism tricks!
This truly teaches Mind Tricks!
those Examples given by this App are the best and interesting, hoping to see more others
Very credible sources, clearly written by someone who understands what they are speaking about. The interface could use some work, the slides move to quickly, and to read the definition, you must double tap the image, which is not blatantly obvious. A must read for anyone interested in psycology. A warning: You must have a good grasp of the English language to understand the terms used here. It is NOT parlor tricks. This is a learning tool.
Im rating it 5 stars for the information. I love psychology and learning how people think and interact, and the definitive presented are useful and very interesting. Good job (I dont know what people were expecting...like optical illusions? More info.?)
Some bad moments
Hard to use, no easy instructions, and blury pics. It also only lets you use it one time.
Since there are no defintions given for each of these tricks this app can only be of use as flashcards for psych majors.
I spent about five minutes on this app before I deleted it. Im very interested in the mind but this was really just useless. The information was well written and the app was nicely put together but the content is not useful as anything other than a study tool for psych students.
When u click on the pictures to see definitions it asks u about content. Theres no mention of purchase or prices and doesnt ask for ur password. I think they are trying to hit u with hidden fees and some users say charges appear on their account. Watch out!
This app is pretty much useless. I dont write reviews; I HAD to write this. It is not what you think, whatever that may be. The graphic of the sinister looking grinning man? Hes laughing at you.
All thats left is to use the terminology to do more research if you are really interested. If I missed something, I will let it be known.
This seemed interesting at first but after you read the first few an ad to buy keeps popping up and you cant do anything else. A total scam...
