Excellent,I love it very much.You can learn many things from this app.
Nighmode is the only problem of this app. Not suitable for everyone.
I really loved the brief explanation it contains about the different sociologists.
Nice and very helpful app...I rated 4/5 cz you are no longer updating it otherwise would have given a 5
it is usefull app for the student of social science
The breadth and depth of its coverage of important masters of social theory is enthrallingly and stimulates further research.
An awsome app for Sociology learners
Best app on social theory...
The best we can get for sociology
please update more theoretical approachs
I love this app its awesome but the only problem is the font size is too small for me and thers no setting for it. And also because of the black background it makes difficult for me to read continuously. Rest all is very good. Thanku plz add more theorist
It's a wonderful application for a quick reference. One can refer to it for a basic understanding of different sociological theories and theorists​. I am feeling lucky to have it, but it needs to be regularly​ updated so that new things can be added.
Its helpful, but some of the theorists were not included in compilation, if you could develop it and include them it would be more helpful, Thanks anyway.
This is a good app for intro to social theorist. However, pls update it by including feminist theorist such as Simone de Beauvoir, irigaray, etc.
My only complaint so far is the white font with the black background. It makes it difficult to read for more that a few lines at a time. The font is also too small.
This is probably one of the great app on theorist but adding more theorist could make it one of the best. Add some indian thinkers as well as it would be more beneficial to the readers. REGARDS
Please change the background color. Im not able to read it for long. Change it for something better
What a great way to summarize some of the best social thinkers in history. I have it at my fingertips for when I need to make sure a point I'm making is grounded in intellectual thought. It's some great reading, too. I find the app to be easy to read too. Not difficult with the black background. Easy read in the dark before retiring to sleep...
It has a very good summary of the work of sociologist. The information is clear and easy to understand. Well done! It is a very good thing to describe the background of each of the sociologist.(when they were born etc..) It teaches us more about the sociologist,.not just what they said. Very enriching!!!
The app is quite good, but I have few suggestions to tell you 1. The thinkers are arranged in alphabetical order but instead if it is in chronological order it will be more effective for our reference....please make this update in this app 2. The info given is very crisp and short....please make it elaborate and give definitions separately for each sociological terminology which would be very handy for our study Thank you!
Helpful but would be nice if you could add few videos or more study material :) overall good work!
Says app is inaccessible! Great app and now this. Wish you could fix it asap
Provides in depth summary of major theorists. A must have for Dr.David Fords Theories class. Get it, get it!
the contents are interesting, but it's difficult to read with background in black against the font in white. if it were viceversa it would have been more helpful for reading.
Each text that guid us to think about sociology and be wrote accuratly can usefull for students and researcher.Many thanks for agents.
Installed does not work it hangs when try to start the apps
Very helpful. The profiles of the selected theorists well arranged making it concise and precise. Easy to read and understand.
I needed help with social theory. A friend recommended this app to me and it was GREAT. Really clean and organized. There's a ton of information for a lot of different learners as well! Well deserved 5 stars
This app will help us understand the module and the framework itself better.
I've used it for a while but I don't understand why do you have to have access to the whole of my device like microphone, camera, calls and messages? Very useful app but I don't feel confident due the reasons I already mentioned.
