The final presidential debate is tonight and we've rounded up our political app guides to help keep you in the loop. Whether it's a simple live stream you're looking for, or you want to fact-check the pants off every little thing each candidate claims, you'll find it here.

Watch straight from your smartphone

There are quite a few options for live-streaming tonight's final debate on your smartphone or tablet, starting with Google's freshly minted YouTube Elections Hub. YouTube's new politically-charged section also features commentary from ABC, BuzzFeed and The Wall Street Journal, to name a few.
