Snopes

Fact-checking in a mobile format

Snopes is a News & Magazines app for checking claims, rumors and widely shared stories. It suits readers who want to investigate questionable information rather than rely only on headlines or social posts. The app brings Snopes’ searchable archive to mobile, with tools for looking up topics and reading the evidence behind its conclusions.

Search, read and test your knowledge

The app includes FactBot for queries, along with access to fact-check articles and longer investigations. A reading list helps you save articles for later. For a more interactive approach, Snopes also includes true-or-false activities and crossword puzzles focused on information and media literacy.

• FactBot and search: Look up myths, rumors and other claims in the Snopes archive.
• Contextual ratings: See fact-check classifications alongside articles.
• Reading list: Keep investigations available for later reading.
• NightVision: Use a darker reading option in low-light conditions.

Who it suits

Snopes is a practical fit for people who regularly encounter uncertain claims and want a dedicated fact-checking reference.

It is more focused on verification and media literacy than on acting as a general-purpose news feed.
