I still remember the frustration of sharing links with my friends on WhatsApp, only to be told they were fake news. That’s when I decided to create an AI Fact Checker app to help people verify the claims they see online.
The idea was simple: create an app that scans multiple sources on the internet, fact-checking sites, and databases to give users a verdict on the claim’s validity. The twist? It also shows users all the sources with bias indicators, so they can make their own judgment.
Fast forward to today, and I’m thrilled to say that my app has grown to over 500 users on iOS and Android in less than 6 weeks. People are using it to verify news headlines, political claims, viral tweets, and even rumors.
So, what made my app resonate with users?
## Solving a Real Problem
We’re all drowning in misinformation, and my app helps solve that problem.
## Speed and Simplicity
Users can simply paste a claim and get instant results.
## Empowerment through Transparency
By showing multiple trusted sources side by side, users feel empowered to make their own decisions.
The best part? The growth has been completely organic, with no big marketing spend. I’ve focused on making the app clear and useful, and it seems to be paying off.
If you care about news, politics, or just want to avoid falling for fake posts, I think this kind of tool is becoming essential.
Want to try it out? You can find my app on the App Store and Google Play Store.
