App is completely dead and has not been updated in nearly 3 years. Was a really promising premise and while it was active it was an incredibly useful app. But now all it's doing is taking up space on my phone. Such a shame that it wasn't continued and improved on and was instead abandoned. Will be finally uninstalling it now after waiting for so long with hopes that it would return.

A good source of verified news, they have had a few screw ups but it's far outweighed by their responsible reporting. It would be nice to have a search option to find any verified or fake news quickly
