  • When it works

    Clicking on one link pulls up a completely different fact check. Also if clicking a link should take you to the details instead of to another page that contains no addition information requiring you to click on another link to actually get to the details.
  • Doesn’t stay updated.

    I really like the information on this app, however, it doesn’t update and when I refresh the app it doesn’t refresh and sometimes the screen is blank.
  • Love this concept

    My ONLY complaint is that, sometimes, when I open the app, everything is just blank. I have to close & reopen, sometimes multiple times, for the headlines to appear. Other than that, with what’s going on in our government, this app is so necessary and helpful. I really love it & appreciate it.
  • Doesn’t update

    I like the fact checks, but on the 10th when I pull down to refresh from the 3rd, all I get is the information from the 3rd. If the app would actually refresh, so I can get up to date information, I’d give it 5 stars, but right now it’s just frustrating.
  • Reality tends to take a liberal bias

    I love reading the posts from the upset conservatives. This app is unbiased just like NPR. Each post has an article attached with proof and sources as to why something is true or not. If you are a conservative griping about all the falsehoods in your side of the woods, it isn’t due to bias. It’s due to the Republican Party being a joke now, full of fake news and conspiracy theories. Shut up and do some research before complaining. Reality tends to take a liberal bias.
  • Desperately needs preferences

    This app is great, except it keeps using news sources that put the user on a paywall. It needs preferences to filter out stuff the user won’t be able to read anyway.
  • Manager Retired

    This is the most leftist and left leaning fact checker EVER!!! The majority of the posts slurs President Trump without fail. There’s very very few Democratic statements, therefore it drives a left narrative almost without failing. I vote for the person, not on an inaccurate site like this. I realize that Politico has verified these “facts”. So I’ll use them or another venue. Sorry I must have failed to read the fine print I guess???
  • This app has potential but not living up to it yet

    -doesn’t cover nearly enough, I searched Andrew Yang and only one fact came up when there could be hundreds
    -I feel like there should be a way to enter a link to a tweet directly and have it come up
    -you have to open an article to see transparency on why something is true or not, I feel it would be much simpler to include short bullet points on what’s true and what’s not true right in the app
    -no option to remove ads, and the overall app design isn’t that satisfying, though that doesn’t really matter that much, but I feel the app could reach a much wider audience if the design was better and America could use that right about now
  • Great idea with too many bugs!

    I love the idea of this app but I have constant problems with it! I get notifications but then look at the app to read the whole story and that item doesn’t show up. I usually have to do a search for a period of time to get anything recent. And that isn’t
    even reliable. Please fix this!
  • Not convince

    My daughter told me her teacher uses this app, so I decided to give it a try thinking it would be a good way to fact check things. I turns out to my opinion this app might run by liberals. Most the conservatives information is alway false or mostly false. But everything said about Clinton and Obama is good and true. My daughter’s teachers are liberals I guess this app is good for them. I will keep monitoring this app to make sure the teachers are poisoning the students minds.
