Great app, have been using politfact as my go to fact checker for years. This app is great. I love the challenge and the settle it features. My only complaint is the "trending" feature just hangs, my brother in law had same issue, both of us use andriods. Still gets 5 stars anyway!!

The app has never worked for me. I tried reinstalling twice. It just freezes when I try to select anything from the main screen.

The trending tab never works and ends up crashing the app. It's not very user friendly. I'd love to love it but I don't.

Trending does not load. Still not fixed.

Launching "Trending" feature causes app to hang on my Galaxy Note 5.

Biased on amount of times a person is fact checked.

"Like movie reviewing, the "fact check" is a highly subjective process. If a politician makes a statement that is flatly false, it does not need to be "fact checked." The facts themselves are sufficient. "Fact checks" end up dealing in murkier areas of context and emphasis, making it very easy for the journalist to make up standards as he goes along, applying them more rigorously to the candidate he disfavors." - James Taranto PolitiHack has a nasty habit of supplying info demonstrating that something is true, but rules it false anyway. Likewise they frequently demonstrate some claims are false, but rule it true anyway. Fact checking is all about opinion.

I have used this app for a while now and so far I have not found anything that indicated partisanship of any kind. Everything is fair and detailed. If you're looking for facts you'll love it. If you're looking for something to validate your conspiracy theories, you probably won't love it.

Does basically nothing but call Trump a liar in every single story it rates, but Hillary Clinton is ALWAYS truthful in ALL her statements. I guess it's only Congress, & the FBI she has a problem telling the truth to! It also goes on and on about there being no proof that HRC engaged in pay to play while SOS. I guess that's again like the FBI didn't have enough evidence to indict her either. If you're looking for a pro Clinton, Trump bashing echo chamber, this apps for you.

This app is great! The people saying that fact checkers are biased toward liberalism maybe haven't considered that that liberals are just right about more things. They don't base their world views on crazy made up things like gods and a book written by angry, horny primitives. Are they right about everything? Of course not and they lie constantly just like the conservatives do.

Ty. B. Sep 27, 2016     

This app and the people behind it are for one political party. It you look at the info they are wrong about one fact that needs to be look at closely due to 5 media organizations have reported the same facts. I rate this app and it's info "Pants On Fire"!

Sta. M. Nov 4, 2016     

Dumbass questions with Dumbass answers for brainwashed Americans. Worst political app I have seen so far and I seriously doubt it can get worse.

Joe. Z. Jul 12, 2017     

Good for fact checking, but the challenge game is annoying because it differentiates between false and pants on fire. Silly, but still frustrating.

Zac. S. Jan 30, 2017     

This app is great! Some people say it's one sided, but you have to use the app to look up things. So if you think liberals are wrong look and see. If you think conservatives are wrong look it up! A perfect app for the time we live in!!

Bre. C. Sep 26, 2016     

Had to download because people were saying it's a liberal app geared toward Hillary. Nope, Trump just lie's or makes up that much that much crap.

Eve. H. Mar 19, 2017     

I happen to like this source and read it online but the app is not updating the last article is on January and it is March now.

Sea. G. Sep 27, 2016     

Towards the left. They do have a LOT more facts against republicans and the right. It's annoying but they do have some against the left. Not balanced

Dan. C. Dec 27, 2016     

If you get your news from Facebook, the National Enquirer or Breitbart, everything will sound like lies. The difference is their research is sourced at the bottom of the page (for those who do not know what "sourced" means, think of it as the ingredients on the side of the cereal box).

A. G. u. Apr 23, 2017     

My entire reason for downloading app was, I don't want to keep Politifact website open in browser all the time. It would improve the app enormously if the articles had direct links to the Politifact figures they mention, like they include links to every other source they name.

Sco. F. Nov 13, 2016     

Rather, as All FOX listeners, Republicans & credulous Trump voters all know...from the bottom of their guts (the body part "normal" conservative "deciders" like Dubya & a lot of the reviewers of this app use to do their "decidin'") TRUTH....has a LIBERAL bias!* * tip o' the hat to Steven Colbert

Ian. Sep 26, 2016     

People are upset because they're in denial of all of Donald's lies.

Cha. D. Sep 25, 2016     

Missing diagrams and text emphasis. No way to switch to the web version of a page to see them. No way to give in-app feedback.

W.D. L. Jan 23, 2017     

Of the Democrats were putting out as much crap as the Republicans are there story's would be all over this app too. But right now it is the Republicans that are all in the news!

Mic. S. Oct 26, 2017     

This is the side I choose to be on. Because everything is fact-based and everybody is held accountable. An absolute fair trial!

Ale. A. Nov 3, 2016     

Geared towards sheep who blindly follow social causes and free stuff.

A. G. u. Jan 4, 2018     

Within 30 seconds of opening up app I had spam pages popping up

Jas. T. Mar 11, 2018     

Ridiculously slow app. Facts are rated differently depending on who said them.

A. G. u. Feb 9, 2018     

The trending section doesn't work. Just keeps loading and eventually freezes

And. R. Oct 4, 2016     

This is liberal BS bottled in an app.
