Reviews
Is this app current?
Kkgrammer
I want to get this app but I wonder if it is current as it says 2013 was the last update.
Not like the website
Mr. Have to write a review
The apps basically just a question game it's not like the website where you can read/search for information :/
Please update app; questions difficult to navigate.

On the negative side: 1. Please update to be more compatible with newer iOS. 2. Please make the questions more navigable. On the positive side: 1. Well organized. 2. Topic oriented. 3. Well-sourced. 4. Updated and relative information. 5. Many more positives than negatives, which is another positive.
Update to work with iOS 11
Jenmonzero
App cannot be opened or used until it’s compatible with iOS 11.
Fix the Bugs Please

Please stop giving me a pop-up message whenever i tap on the Documentation section. Screen freezes for a second when i switch from one section to another and when trying scroll up or down. Previous versions did not have these bugs.
Loaded language

Not unbiased. Upon reading the very first question that had US political content, it was clear where the bias lay.
Good approach to focus on the facts

I think is pretty hard to strip out bias when offering information. I think this app does a pretty good job at that. Thanks!

I find myself constantly fact checking all media/papers/net/etc This app simply conveys facts from best available sources & usually the facts are surprising, counterintuitive but interesting. I was first interested in the nature of our federal debt & was taken to a very thorough analysis. This is best for 1. entertainment while waiting in line, etc or for 2. excruciating detail if you let the app take you to the source material. I enjoy & trust it for content.
Just what the world needs

Finally, an information source that allows you to trace the accuracy yourself - all the way to the scientific sources. I would love it even more if there was a keyword search and find. Thank you Just Facts.
