Fact Hunt
How it works?
1. Select a claim to verify facts:
We monitor news websites and social media like facebook and twitter. our readers can send us messages or tag us on facebook and twitter to check facts about the news that are going viral. We select the claim for verification if it is newsworthy.
2. Choosing between discussion and post
Once the story is selected, we try to figure out if the story can have two sides or the story can have two different versions. If we are convinced that story can have two different versions then we post it as discussion on our platform and present the both sides of the story by dividing it into left wing and right wing. If our readers are not convinced with our responses then then can add their own version. We promise we will never remove any responses as long as it is related to the story.
However if we find that story is straightforward and debate is not required to present neutral view on the story then we post it as an article on our platform.
3. Look for evidence and data in favour or against any story or claim
We search for all publicly available resources on the story. We search for data on social media, news websites, government databases and other trustworthy sources.
4. Community driven approach to solve fake news
If any user find anything wrong on our platform then they can submit their version of the story on our platform. Any user can post an article on our website or start a debate to counter fake news.
4. Ratings to news websites
We also give ratings to news websites based on accuracy of their news. Rating process is completely community driven.

I couldn't find any information on anything that I was interested in. Only from counties like India and Pakistan
Fake news is like cancer. It has the power to destroy lives, political parties and even the whole country. Sadly, most people want masala news channels. Pseudo intellectuals and leftists cant digest facts and thus follow just the leftist news portals. And the right wingers mostly believe in fake news spread by some extreme right wing news channels or facebook fan pages. Thus facthunt has very low fanfollowing(much much less that it really deserves).
initial stage of the app but impressed with fact based reporting,.
App is in its nascent stage, but the intentions of the founders of this news outlet seem noble. I hope more people become aware of this news outlet, because they don't seem to have any conflict of interest while reporting about any event. Instead their reporting is purely based on facts. Also, if after researching about any news event, if they come to a conclusion that the event can have two points of view, then they report the event from both the point of views and leave the floor open for discussion.
Best app, thank you 😊
Nice app. To the point article. Fact check articles are really great.
Nice and simple UI and news are of high quality
This app is very safe and easy to use, it will save you from the fake news of the country and abroad.
