It has already been said several times, but again: please, don't overuse "rational" and related words, especially in titles. The "for rationalists" part is redundant.
Apps that somehow aid in behavior modification or decision making could be described as "for rationalists", while games or technical apps could not. While "for rationalists" might not be the best choice of words, it's not completely redundant either.
Not completely redundant, but largely so. One needn't include everything in the title. Lot of people are becoming tired by "rationality" popping up from every other sentence on this website. Not only it looks cultish and fanatical, but it is suspected that people put "rationality" in their articles as an "applause light", i.e. phrases used for signalling and gaining approval with little other information value. It may be therefore a good policy to avoid "rational" whenever possible.
I would prefer the phrase "aspiring rationalists" or even "wannabe rationalists."
