Skeptical Science App Reviews

Said my friend. "What? Their science conflicts with your myths and wishes? Get your own facts..." So Im intolerant of the same illogic loops, my brain is fried from remembering it all, I feel parched, my tongue dried saying it all over and over. Or is that climate change? I dont even know where to begin, but Ill start by saying "Skeptical Science, thank you for this..." Get it, keep it, use it, spread it.

This WAS a great app, but now it wont even load. I hope the next update fixes the problem!

Used to work fine-now crashes when I try to launch.

(deleted app & reinstall fixed all crash issues) Thank you for this info--very helpful resource. Handy.

This App used to be great. Now it crashes within 5 seconds of opening. Please fix.

I have the same issues as others. It used to work great and the organization of the info was great. Now the app consistently crashes- even after deleting and reinstalling the program.

Used to be a great app, now it doesnt launch.

This was a handy app in my iPod touch, but will not load on my iPad2. The opening screen loads, then the app crashes.

This app crashes once you start it. Good for you. Before it behaved in this way, it would flood your screen with lies and cheap propaganda based on radical Marxism, psedoscience, and greed. A guy behind this app recently got some undeserved money from an Australian foundation. So he no longer has to maintain this dishonest alarmist app. Get Our Climate for a working climate app without lies and tricks.

Could use more points based around economics, causality and uncertainty, and ethics, to round out the argument for action. Very nice companion to the website

Does not crash, I am not sure what everyone is talking about when they say it crashes, I have an iPod touch, so that may have something to do with it. If you want the truth about climate change and the scientific consensus about the topic, this is the app for you. It is easy to use, interesting, and is kept up to date, you might want to turn off the notifications though, theres a lot of those. There is also this clever way to track the arguments against it. I really am passionate about this topic so I enjoy this application.

After hearing about this app on NPR. I thought it would be nice to have on hand. Works fine on my iPhone 3s.

Easy to use. Lots of information, including a top 10 list of climate change deniers arguments. And it updates with both the information within the app and and RSS feed. I have found it useful and a great tool when Im blog about skepticism.

This app makes sense, but fails to refute anything. When a claim (like one I would make) said there is no empirical data only computer models which are unreliable, I stead of arguing these: 1) computer models are accurate Or 2) examples of empirical data It provides more computer models... It also spreads false information, its refutation to the ground censor data is based on data that claims same data regardless of urban heat island effect, yet the facts show almost no heating in rural areas. (also forgets most scanners where moved from rural to urban the same time we saw heat increases). Also it ignores other data on the sun: mars is warming too without emissions, hinting to solar global warming. It cherry picks data and spreads falsehoods=1 star, I give it two for at least trying to refute us skeptics.

I use this app all the time. I wish I could add some of the articles to a favorites list though. Keep it up and hopefully one day people will stop pretending it doesnt exist.

Taking a page from liberal politics, use all media sources to distribute propaganda.

Since the debut of the iPad mini, Ive largely stopped carrying smaller devices...and the graphs featured here really suffer in the "2x zoom" mode. I really love the content and the way its organized; Id just like to see a version thats more tablet-friendly.

Several years ago, I delved into the science behind Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) after several acquaintances told me it was: 1-a scam to get scientists rich, 2- CO2 isnt a forcing action. 3- It was a UN conspiracy to make the USA a poor country, and on and on. When asked why they felt that way, they all mentioned a story on TV, or some newspaper article that they felt supported their conclusion. My studies included geological books & podcasts, as well as other science books. Along the way, I found the skeptical science website, which has a wealth of AGW science by real climate scientists that addresses the basics as well as the skeptics arguments, & where they have failed the test of science. I have found this app to be very useful and stable under ios 6 and 7.

It has been a very informative source of information but ever since the recent iOS security patch Skeptical Science crashes.

I just found your App and it only stays open for 5 to 10 seconds crashes and closes please fix.
