OPIÑON - Make your mind up app for iPhone and iPad

Sharpen your soft skills and make more informed decisions with OPIÑON: the cognitive training playground that helps you thrive and learn when you engage with controversial topics anonymously.

By asking thought-provoking questions and sharing what they think, curious minds like yourself create training playgrounds so you can quickly learn about all sides of a story and make your own mind up.

Inspired by the Theory of Mind and research on the Collective Wisdom of Crowds, OPIÑON has been conceived and designed with neuroscientists to minimise cognitive biases.

OPIÑON will encourage you to:
- Ask thought-provoking questions about controversial topics anonymously.
- Mentalise and internalise your own belief on a topic.
- Swipe through as many Viewpoints as you can to take in all sides of the argument.
- Observe and absorb where your Viewpoints differ from those of other users.
- Contribute to the conversation, while staying polite and keeping emotions under control.
- Consider opposing points of view and learn how to change your mind.
- Make more informed decisions by taking advantage of the collective wisdom.
- Appraise Empathy Quotient and Bias Blind Side Quotient.
- Build resilience by learning soft skills, and by tracking and comparing your progress.
- Learn to learn and level up your Ñ Quotient.

Your Ñ Quotient is calculated dynamically based on your soft skills training, and how you measure up with the community. The more you train, the more youll progress through levels and unlock content and goodies.

OPIÑON will keep you motivated when you exercise:
1 - Curiosity flair: ask questions others love to engage with and unlock knowledge from the community.
2 - Critical thinking: consider how others feel about a topic or create Viewpoints on your favourite Topics for others to evaluate.
3 - Emotional competence: add respectful contributions or discover where Viewpoints differ.

Here’s why we started OPIÑON.
Remember that last controversial discussion you had? Maybe things got a little too heated because one or two people just wanted to “be right” or express their point of view as loudly as they could. Others got annoyed, the conversation stopped, and you ended up learning very little about the topic in question. Not cool.

What if people weren’t rewarded for "being right", but for fostering an environment where sharing and evaluating different perspectives could help everyone make more informed decisions?

OPIÑON is designed to help with this.
Heres how it works:
- we’ll keep you protected with a verified account.
- when you engage with controversial topics, your activity and progress remain anonymous. So, you can ask whatever you’d like (as long as you keep things classy).
- by adding those controversial topics you care most about, you build training playgrounds where all users can flex their soft skills.

OPIÑON is dedicated to the curious minds of the world.
You might be one of them. If so, congrats!

And a final word for peace of mind:
- your activity will always remain anonymous to reduce prejudice and cognitive biases.
- this helps foster the right environment where you can form a well-rounded point of view.
- we respect your privacy: we don’t run ads in the app, we don’t sell your personally identifiable information. End of. We don’t need to because we are building a Pro (paid-for) version of the app with super-duper features (and we hope you’ll love it so we can keep the lights on).

The world belongs to the curious minds.. OPIÑON is where the curious of the world belong.
