I love this app!
At your fingertips, an app which combines all of the best fact checkers in one place. Rather than opening a single fact check site, I open the app and have multiple opinions in one place! Very fast, very handy!SwitchToPre-pay
Easy and straightforward. Will help Ignorant people get informed
Earlier this year, I was a very very ignorant and uneducated voter. I recently stumbled upon TikTok debates and it sparked an unexpected interest in economics and politics.
I realized I was very biased by the media I’ve consumed and never actually did ANY RESEARCH of my own. Despite this realization, I still had no idea where to start.
I first tried googling claims made in the debates, however if you’re uninformed like me, you will still not understand how to research and read data and will have no idea what sources are legitimate and not biased.
I started going to .gov sites for data but that is also hard to dissect and oftentimes can be misread depending on if you’re looking at specific data or specific time frames.
I thought, wouldn’t it be nice if there was a non biased app where it fact checked claims and data? I was right. It’s wonderful and this app makes it so easy to fact check and also get much needed context. If you are uninformed, this app will make it easy to get your facts and make informed decisions. Let’s be smart together and vote wisely! Our votes matter and will effect our parents, us and our future generations.
Easy of use: 10/10
Reliability: 10/10

Very slow to load
I’ve used FactStream for many years. But for the last year it’s load time has greatly increased. And scrolling from screen to screen sometimes takes several minutes.Mr. Paradise
