When March ends, so does your chance to save a buck on our app for your tablet or phone.
It’s now just 99 cents on iTunes, Amazon and Google Play.
Last big election season, the reviews came in:
"What a great way to cut through the verbal garbage politicians and others throw at us everyday! I especially like the ‘Chain Email’ section. Now I can reply to whoever sends these to me with links that give THEM the ‘real story.’ Calm down guys, no one is really thinking seriously about taking ‘in God we trust’ off our money…"
"I love this app. I love the red button. I push it when I hear a lie, and it makes me laugh. I like knowing what is true and what is made up. It is so hard to tell when politicians and talk show hosts bend the truth or tell outright lies and expect people to believe them. PANTS ON FIRE!!!!"

"This should be on everyone's mobile electronic device! Informative, nonpartisan, excellent information. Very timely, with the election coming up. But good information to have as an American citizen any time!"
"If you care about politics, buy the app."
Wired magazine called PolitiFact Mobile one of its "essential tools." Computerworld named it one of six mobile apps for "election fever."
