This is an ambitious approach that really brings to topic into focus. I think a first pass at revision that considers the structure will go along way toward making the navigation of it more smooth. At this point, screen 4 seems to be functioning as a menu leading to the Florida stories. So, I feel like moving the Fake News button off the menu and onto the screens with the stories makes more sense. Also if people can see the headline, and then judge, it might give them more insights. In short, rethinking the structure of how people get to the stories, get their initial sense of them, vote, and get more information will be helpful. I also wonder in this case if for the project a less is more approach makes sense. Perhaps three Florida stories, and three quote examples might make it easier to develop details that differentiate between them. The Florida stories, for instance, all seem to end with the same advice and truth/falsehood challenge. Is there a way in which on result could be linked to a bad source and another to faulty logic (or some other problem)? Then the lesson that follows could be more specific. Fewer items might be useful for thinking through how to structure the project and make the movements through the materials more differentiated. The project is working well toward getting at the points it wants to make, so giving a more deliberate path and structure will make it even stronger. Eventually, you can return to the look and feel to try to give it a more app-like aesthetic. Nice work.
