  • Fun game

    Also entertaining are the reviews where people cannot handle the truth when it doesn’t mesh with their closely held tribal beliefs. Haha.
  • Wording needs work

    As others have noted, some items begin with someone “says”, then they make a statement. Are we to judge on whether or not the person said it or whether or not it’s true? Some are scored one way, some the other. Raises frustration level.
  • Super fun and challenges your preconceptions

    Had a blast playing this. No bugs as far as I can see.

    And despite what some reviewers say, it treats all sides with equal scrutiny. Like a bad team blaming the referee, some people don’t like that. I am pretty left wing and my tactic of marking any conservative as false definitely didn’t work. I’ve learned lots of new stuff I didn’t know before.

  • Glitchy

    Could be good but it’s registering correct answers as incorrect. Really annoying. Right swipes are called as left swipes. Deleting now. Booo!
  • Unclear framing

    It is repeatedly not clear whether we are being "asked" is a statement is true, or it is true that the person said it
  • One small issue

    Some confusion on questions which are worded like, Person A says that Person B says that Trump wears a wig.

    Are we judging Person A (did B actually make the statement?), or are we judging the veracity of the statement itself?
  • Good idea but needs work

    Sometimes the questions are confusing. Person X said "blah, blah, blah". Well, yes they did so I say true but the thing they said is false. How about "statement" (said by whomever) and you true/false the statement.
  • A great idea, and useful for learning

    This app helps find the truth and explains how the truth was arrived at. Pay no strength to those rating the app low because they don't like it being pointed out that they are believing lies.
    One suggesting for improvement: It makes for awkward reading to start a quiz item with the word "Says..." And then put the name of the source at the bottom of the screen. It would make more sense to start the item in this manner: [name of person or publication] says [whatever they said].

    Thank you for this wonderful and fun tool.

  • Good, neutral, and fair

    Good bipartisan fact checking. Judging by other reviews, some people just can't handle the truth.
  • Great Fake News Game

    Love playing this. Awesome concept and I'm a big fan of politifact.
