Customer Reviews

Well put together. (4 stars)
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

Good design (4 stars)
the Example illustrated here are perfect, Recommend it

Sadly useless (1 star)
I spent about five minutes on this app before I deleted it. I'm 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.
