On Galaxy Note 4 the font is too small to bother with. Hurts the eyes. Too bad really because I like the website and the sources to research an item for yourself. Do not understand all the liberal references. They provide the sources for you to research on your own if you disagree. A lie is a lie is a lie no matter who says it.
This app is great for digging up the truth about what politicians are saying. Unfortunately, it also requires you to install Adobe Air, a bug-ridden piece of bloatware.
I enjoyed reading this in the last presidential election, but now I can barely see the text.
I have a galaxy note 4 edge with android 5.0.1 and the type is too small to read.
I had bought this app a while back and loved it. Since upgrading my phone and reinstalling this app, it sucks. The font is so small...why? You can't change it.
Seems to be less content then what's on mobile site and search function not working..Why did this cost money if it is being maintained
I think this app in its current incarnation (at least on phone screens) is made specifically for Superman/woman. To add insult to injury you cannot even zoom it in.
My sole complaint is that their website updates days in advance of content on this paid app. This seems counterintuitive. On a side note, I want to give a tip of the hat to reviewers who cannot separate their political beliefs from their review of the app.
It is a great tool for putting an end to political debates. a must have for any political enthusiast! I saw a review on here that said, "it was liberally biased". The first thing I looked at when I opened the app was Jeb Bush's report card & more times than not he had mostly true ratings, why would a liberally biased political app say that about a Republican? I'm sorry if it's hard to come to terms with, but the Left is usually more prone to facts & "Reality has a well-known liberal bias" -Stephen Colbert
This is a liberal Democrat leaning app that bashes Republicans. Nothing but trash.
This is a nice app if only I could read it. The text is easy too small to be able to view on a phone. I purchased this app before it was changed. I'm not sure why it doesn't adjust to the window size like every other app. Please fix!
This app does help when trying to fact check political parties, but the app is poor on large screens, the font is extremely small , wish they would fix it ASAP. Will give it 5 stars when fixed.
Used to be great but I can't even see it since the last update
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - text is so small that it's impossible to read. No settings to change this. Too bad.
Other apps are of good font size. Can't read anything. Too small.
Don't see any option/setting for doing size. Text is so small it's basically in readable.
Print is way to small to read. Useless on my Droid Turbo as there is no way to make the print larger. Don't bother downloading.
How do you not have settings in this app
The app looks poor in high resolution screens. The navigation is old fashion. Could really use a face lift.
Far fewer updates than on the actual website. Absolutely no idea why they would do this. No options in app to potentially change this.
Great for checking out the realities behind to political posturing!
The app works, but the content hasn't updated since before the election. I tried reinstalling.
This is a very cool app. Responsive with crisp images & lntuitive navigation. Great search. As impressive as the website. Works great on Samsung Tab.
If I squint I can sort of see it, which I guess is what you are going for.
Awesome until it stopped opening up. HTC EVO 4g LTE pleeease fix.
I prefer not to have to install additional apps just to make this one work, and that is what you require of me. If you want to require Adobe AIR, say so in the app description!
Very informative! Very resourceful! With facts and without the crazy rhetoric.
Great source of information to sort out truth in politics. However, it is still very much designed for phones. A true tablet version is desperately needed.
I would like to see an update that addresses the small text size. I can read it just fine, but others may have difficulty.
Overall, I am happy with this app, but I wish we could share articles and that there was a search option. I know you can sort by topic, but its just not as good as a search field
Never trust this site. All they want to do is straddle the fence to gain more traffic. I used to use them but they have become CNN. Too afraid to be an actual fact checker. No credibility left anymore.
sorting and searching on app are antiquated. Has only half the entries their website has, so save your self the money and just bookmark the website .
Text way to small on my Nexus 5. It works old my tablet.
ALL FICTION NO FACTS
Not worth it.
I don't find value in this app for the price.
... Would have been nice to know before I paid 99 cents for this app. Really #RIPOFF? Going to uninstall.
In this time of half-truths & outright lies, this app is invaluable!
I love this app. However, I just loaded it on a high resolution display Nexus 5 and the text size is verrrry small. I wish the developer would provide a Text size option to increase the text size for high resolution displays. It's hard to read now with these old eyes.
