Great debates, but the player is horrible. I should clearify, the podcast player is horrible.

{Edit: removed star because they will not update the app. Needs to have bugs fixed, but hasn't been updated in months} Beautiful design, works fairly well, although does seem to freeze up somewhat. Videos need bookmark feature, and more convenient way to go back or ahead etc.

The content of these debates is superb, but the podcast feature needs more work. You can't fast forward to a specific part of the podcast. If you loose your place in the podcast, you have to start over from the beginning. Makes no sense.

Great App. Awesome interface. It would help if we are able to access ALL the debates though not just a few.

For some reason, this super helpful status bar when listening to a podcast to let you go forward or back is gone now, so if your connection gets disabled, you have to start all over. Bring it back!

A free app that contributes positively to screen time. If you reflect on life's issues, you will use this app

I wish political debates were like this.

I hesitated at first since if you are having uneducated low intellect c##ts like Laura Ingraham on your broadcast I can't take it seriously. And I'm a 99%er and Republican saying this. But the material for the most part is rich and the debates rife with mindfood.

The app works well and it's nice to have the entire list of previous debates. That being said you need to have the latest debate available when it goes up on the website as well as not waiting weeks to see the latest debate only getting short bits in the meantime. Another thing that would be great is the ability to download the debate/podcast for local play.

Somewhat unstable performance, generally a good app

One of my very favorite podcasts, but the app doesn't add much. Meanwhile, it spams Android with notifications and you can't turn them off. Am interested in the Virtual Q&A and Debate & Discuss functions but the implementation is awkward. Looking forward to future iterations!

What I'd like to see is a search option to find a specific topic unless, I'm missing it in the app somewhere

My only issue is that the podcasts will just stop working about half way through and you have to restart the app. Also an interface issue there is no way to bring the podcast player back up if you access other apps. Also to the people wondering why the app needs permission to access the camera and microphone, it's so the app will stop playing when you start to take a video and such.

It may not be the best running app, but you get this for whats on the inside. The. Best. Debates. Available.

Great program, the app stops playing files halfway through

Great functioning app ... Raising the level of debate for the public good

Don. P. Feb 23, 2015     

Exactly what I was looking for. Keep challenging the mind. Great layout and updates in a timely manner

Requires too many permissions. For what purpose???

I really love how IQ2 actively promotes a richer and more robust public discourse. I really like the app, I'm just experiencing one technical problem. When I leave one of the debate podcasts on, it locks my phone leaving it completely unresponsive, and the only way it becomes responsive again is if I turn the device off and back on again.

Love it!!

Engaging, intelligent, civilized discourse on a broad range of heated public interests.
