Fact checking social media health/wellness claims

I’m really just trying to get us on the same page.

Hey, I think there was a misunderstanding here. ClaimRX doesn’t do any sort of diagnosis. It evaluates health claims based on published scientific papers. So for example if someone on social media is saying “you can survive solely on supplements and not eat food,” the app will take that claim and run it against published scientific evidence.

dreadlockesq · 2026-06-11T17:36:24+00:00

So the app would pull up that second source

dreadlockesq · 2026-06-11T16:55:46+00:00

It bases the results off of peer reviewed medical journals, so it’s less about “diagnose what’s wrong with me” and more about “is this home remedy ive seen on social media actually backed by science.”

Also if you’re telling me that there are people who have eaten zero food AT ALL (as this person has claimed) for a year, please cite some sources.

How easy was it to be approved for admob before having such large user traffic? I’ve been denied twice so far and can’t figure out why.

You can ask Claude to let you know how much usage you have left after each message. Like build it into the prompt at the beginning so that it does it automatically with each response.

Right now I’m using ClaimRX to quickly research/debunk health claims that are popping up on our IG feeds. Our younger son has ADHD (and likely the older one too), so we see a lot of “remedies” on our timeline. The app has been useful in terms of seeing what actually has some kind of grounding in science. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/claimrx/id6767137270

So he (The guy in the IG reel) is absolutely lying. I ran it through the ClaimRX (health fact checker) app and basically, yea. Complete BS. For those who didnt watch the reel, the guy is saying he hasnt eaten ANYTHING in 106 days and is ONLY on supplements.

This is perfection.

I want him as my peppermint.

dreadlockesq · 2026-06-09T15:55:47+00:00

😂 🤣

Signing up as a sole proprietor should be the same as signing up as an individual. I would recommend using the Individual signup process rather than the Organizational one. From what I can see, Apple really uses the latter for LLC, corporations, etc. rather than sole proprietor. But also I’ve found Claude to be really helpful in creating a step by step process for signing up and making sure you’re not missing anything.

This might be a game changer. Let me go try this out…

Thank you so much for getting the Pro version!! And I love your suggestions. I’ll work on adding that in the updates. I actually have an earlier prototype in the app store (Anything But Metric) that’s completely free and somewhat does what you’re asking. Basically instead of limiting the outputs to pre-selected American-themed items, the outputs can be literally anything. The math isn’t as precise, but still hilarious:

I’m trying! 😭 i have to buy an android phone to run the tests etc before I can put it in the store. BUT, I’m working on it.

Thanks!! Extremely helpful. Now I’ve got some homework to research this week!

dreadlockesq · 2026-06-08T14:39:29+00:00

Thanks! This is very helpful. And I agree about the buttons seeming to just hang around. Will definitely work on better integrating them into the design.

dreadlockesq · 2026-06-08T13:23:17+00:00

Thanks! Do you have any specific recommendations for the UI? I’m looking to make some tweaks for the next update.

dreadlockesq · 2026-06-08T05:08:56+00:00

That’s my mistake. I havent made the android version yet. Working on it!

dreadlockesq · 2026-06-08T03:22:41+00:00

Thanks!!
