An app that brings transparency to political ads

by Megan Meagher

The technology behind music identifying apps Shazam and SoundHound is being put to good use this election season. Super PAC is an app that listens to and identifies political advertisements to tell you who is behind it. The app reveals who made the ad, how much it cost, how accurate the claims made in the ad are and then you can rate the ad on a scale of "love" to "fail."
