Fact Check what you read !
SideCheck is a fact-check companion while reading news or social media.
In this age of firehose of information it is the responsibility of each one of us
as a responsible citizen to fact check before sharing anything we read on social media or on the internet.
Either sharing by word of mouth or on social media.
SideCheck helps in this endeavor by making fact-checking as a one-step process.
Just copy the text of what you want to feat-check.
Go to the SideCheck app, click on the "Fact-Check !" button.
Voila ! The app opens an in-app browser sheet that searches your text using the search engine of your choice !
You can click through links , browse and when you are done , just swipe down the sheet to dismiss.
The app becomes especially useful as it utilizes the Universal Clipboard feature of the apple ecosystem.
You can copy text to fact-check on any of your Apple Devices and use SideCheck on iPhone and iPad.
The app especially shines as an iPad app in SplitView or SlideOver.
It can be your side companion fact-check app while your news/social media content takes up the roomy screen content.
Depending on the usage frequency you can have the app as a SlideOver window or SplitView app !
