Settle It! PolitiFact's Argument Ender App Reviews

68 add

Great organization, lousy app

The app freezes and must be force-closed EVERY time I use it on my iPhone 5s. I can only read one article and then Im stuck. The "back" button to return to the main menu has never worked. Its a shame because Politifact does terrific work. Please, please update!

FIX THE BACK BUTTON!!!

The only way to back out of an article is to close the app down and restart. Its really frustrating.

Great info, BACK BUTTON DOES NOT WORK

This app has great info but is unusable because you have to exit the app every single time you want to do something. This is because the back button is broken and does not work. Please fix and this app Ill be 4-5 stars.

Great Info - Crap App

Absolutely love Politifact, but How hard can it be to fix the "back" button?

Lots of bugs

The website is great but the app needs better developers working on it. It has a lot of bugs, including in inoperable Back button.

Back button

Fix the back button. No sense in using this app if its broken.

Great website terrible app

The app does not function and leaves you stranded on articles with no way back to the home page because the links back dont work.

Back button does not work

App has potential. Back button never works.

Back button

Back button doesnt work!!! You have to exit the app & come back to continue!!

You cant make the back button work?

After two years, I still have to quit the app and restart every time I want to read another article? Seriously!?

BUSTED "BACK" BUTTON!!

Reviewers have been complaining about this for months! Dont you intend to fix this extremely fundamental bug? EDIT: Now its mid July, and the "Back" arrow button still does nothing. ... Anybody home? Hey! Wake up in there.

Preferred the Old App

Not only is the "back" button broken, but the format of the "Trending" section doesnt hold a candle to the old app. Tiny pix with no names in the headlines. You have to go all the way into the article to see the names of people involved and the rating. I miss the old app!

Helpful but lacking

Unless, Im missing something this app does not allow me to share findings on social media. I would like to use it to dispel myths and fake news. Please correct.

Its okay but...

I like the weakly challenge but for the love of god get rid of the 10 second timer. For one, why do you assume everyone reads an entire paragraph at lightning speed? Im an okay reader and couldnt get through half of them before running out of time.

No-Win Scenario In The Challenge

Well, the old version of the weekly Challenge on the app worked great; since I stay up on politics, I usually got 5/5 correct (and was proud of my Wonk status). But since they re-vamped the app, the Challenge will give you a question which you answer correctly, but you get marked as incorrect, despite what the correct answer is (usually this is on question 4 or 5). Until this is fixed with an update, I cant give it more than 2 stars... Ill amend this review if the app gets updated.

good, but no Canadian politics

Only fact checks US politics, but does it well. The biggest flaw is that after you search for a claim, you have to load the whole explanation page to see how true its rated.

Back button doesnt work

No way to get back to the quiz. You have to close the app & reopen it to a new quiz

BUSTED "BACK" BUTTON!!

Reviewers have been complaining about this for months! Dont you intend to fix this extremely fundamental bug?

Works, but poorly

I love politifact and hoped they had an app that would be better than mobile browsing. Not so much. Biggest issue is the broken back button, but its easy to get confused trying to find fact checks as well - the search button disappears with the keyboard. When I got to the article I searched for, the formatting was off. Finally the challenge mode throws in state-specific fact checks that wont be relevant to most of the audience, without even identifying the state until after you answer. All that said, the search easily found the article, which loaded quickly. It never crashed, and the home button worked which provided a workaround for the Brocken back button. So three stars, but it could really use some more attention from the dev team.

Comment below named "liberal bias"

This person is an ignorant fool. Facts dont have liberal bias...they are facts. Fox News doesnt tell the truth. They are extremely conservatively biased. But they tell you all the things you want to hear therefore they are the only network that is trustworthy, right? Please. You are the reason there is such a split in our nation. Dont let your ignorance blind you. Anyway, its a cool app. Just takes forever to load.
