Presidential advertisements are airing all over the country, and have many people wondering, "Can I believe this?"

"You can attack anyone and make them look bad, but you don't really know what's true and what's not true," young voter Mark Juarbe said.

Well, there's an app for that. It's called Super PAC. It works like the very popular music recognition app Shazam.

When an attack ad airs, just tap the screen. In seconds, it will recognize the commercial and tell you who made it, how much money the organization has raised, and how much money they've spent on the campaign.

It also links you to nonpartisan websites like PolitiFact to do some fact checking.

"Now, that I know about the app, I might use it," 19-year-old Stephanie Cabrera said. "I don't know if they're just saying that to get votes or if there's actually a story behind it."

The two people who created Super PAC are former MIT students who were not fascinated by politics, but by the amount of money spent on politics.

You can also rate the ad and see how others rate it by selecting love, fair, fishy, or fail.

The best part? The app is free.
