Ugh stopped working

Worked great and then I tried again today with a classroom full of students and it wouldn’t open.

So many need this!!

This is a tool to develop critical thinking. How many times have I clicked on something to see that it was just an ad? Or worse, an opinion presenting as a fact?
 Especially useful in deciphering opinion from truth that often appears on the front page of newspapers.

Doesn’t load

All I get is the front page, no buttons work. Disappointing; imagine getting written up in the New York Times and than having a total belly flop, and this is an app that is trying to teach people about trust by being completely untrustworthy.

Irony.
