All news is false
App could be fun but it’s only giving me false statements so there’s no statement to guess. I can just keep swiping false and I’m always right
Good idea but…
This app is too America-centric, and also every single question is “False.” Seriously, I blindly picked false 4 games in a row and got an unbelievably high score.
Good concept
The idea is great. The game itself is poorly made. There is potential here and I will still play it but a lot needs to be improved.
Edit: I just played and lowered the star rating to one star. Just keep swiping left (false) and you will get a 100% score. It’s basically a app telling what’s false and nothing more

Nice game
Cool game but why is everything false 😅
a bunch of stupid and bias opinions

Dated
It used to be fun, but now the facts are so old it's more of a memory game than a fact check. Wish the developers would update it. I'm deleting it.
Good but it should quiz the user on facts, not who’s lying
I think the app should be more about just the facts and not necessarily who said them. Mainly because I think it should be a quiz that tests the user’s knowledge of important facts. Not a quiz about who the user thinks is lying. Who said it could be revealed after the user guesses.
Focusing on quizzing the user on facts, I think will make it more fun. Plus users won’t feel as though their party or political views are being attacked.
When I play, I cover up who said it so I’m not influenced by my personal opinion of the speaker. It’s harder that way (which is somewhat disconcerting).

Outdated
Hasn’t been updated since 2017.
Fun game needs more diverse content
The questions can be a little repetitive but i love the idea of the game
Interesting, but could be improved
The app is interesting and helps with learning politics but there could be a few changes. The first is maybe different game modes like vs where players compete against each other. Another is adding more detail to statements like allowing us to see not just the initials of ice but the full name. Also, allowing us to have more detail on the people who say quotes such as a short summary of their opinions could help. Finally, maybe adding a way to contact politifact for more info on a quote could help and letting us ask questions about the background and quote.

Interesting and good way to reflect on the fast paced news
It is hard to truly know which news sources are truly unbiased. But I believe they make an honest effort here. The “conservatives “ saying otherwise in your reviews, why don’t you send them your own ideas for questions or corrections? If their standard for including a question was it can’t make a republican look bad, they wouldn’t have a game.

Political propaganda.
When a right leaning fact is displayed that would support the parties reputation, the quotes are slightly changed to make them “technically” false because they didn’t say it word for word.
Also some “facts” are “false” before the fact checker used an opinion based statement to prove it “wrong”

Biased and outdated
This game is biased and in favor of Liberals. It uses outdated material on conservative matters.
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.
