Worth a Subscription

We are living in an upside down world, filled with alternative facts and deep fakes. I Like Knowing the BS had been debunked with facts. Tell me what Really Happened, I trust Snopes!

You need to subscribe

Great to debunk so much misinformation is invaluable in today’s media environment

Good to fact check

I like this app to cross check things I see on social media. With AI getting larger and more powerful daily I sometimes can’t tell what is real vs satire or outright lies. Be informed.

Top of the Top Shelf

First this app works beautifully! Very well done. Secondly, but more importantly, Snope’s is the “news” equalizer. I am not “far” anything and I do not want to hear political propaganda from any party. I want to hear the facts, the truth, unvarnished…no spin. Snope’s has made it easy to not have to swim in the sewage of “news with agenda.”

Takes a while!

Not immediately intuitive but worth the start up ramp.

Real news!

Sick of fake news - Get my news here now

Disappointed

Limited access w/o paid subscription; occasionally replies feel like a ‘noncommittal’ or ambiguity

TRUTH LIFESAVER: An Essential App For These Days‼️

I verify information nearly daily.

I’ve lived through Kennedy assassinations, US men on the moon, MLK/RFK assassinations, Watergate, post-Vietnam 🇻🇳 War, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, two Bushes Obama. Biden and two Trump administrations … at 71 years old SNOPES is like my daily meds and vitamins …modern version of truth lifesavers‼️

Is this free?

Apple collected a 10.00 fee. Rip off. Please send a refund.

Setting the record straight

With everything spread like wildfire on social media SNOPES does an in depth on viral posts and gives you the low down

Interesting 🧐

Awesome 🤩

The Greatest Fact Checkers

I’ve been reading Snopes for many years, back when it started it checked mostly urban legends. Now it does a fantastic job of covering important breaking news items. I like to read it, so when people tell me “did you hear about…”(the latest outrage) I can say that’s fake and point them to Snopes. Excellent!!

Needed in our new age of AI slop!

So glad that I have a reliable source to deal with all the false internet stories, & now the AI slop. I’m a subscriber, it’s such a valuable resource.

True

Great

I rely on Snopes

Snopes is my go-to any time something I’ve seen or read sets off my sense that it is suspicious. I have found them to be reliable, well researched, and unmatched.

I trust Snopes.

Because I am a lawyer, I am a fanatic about fact checking, and Snopes is one of the few sites that I trust to give me accurate information. Thank you, Snopes.

Analyzing for AI is essential

AI is a creepy manipulation invented to confuse lazy people even more than they already are. Digging it out and tossing it is probably the best thing you do.

Subscription paid but...

The fly in my ointment is that I paid for a year's subscription in November but the app is still limiting me to the free articles and cuts me off. I need assistance and short of cancelling my subscription what can I do?

Response from developer

I apologize for the issue. You should be able to login with the same account on the mobile app and not be limited in any way. Please reach out to subscriptions@snopes.com with your account email and we'll get it fixed. - Chris R

I like this but something came up

No free account creation

But you can sign up for free on the web, but don’t bother as it looks like most of the app is webviews anyways
