  • Useful app

    Very useful app, thanks! I even recommend it to some staffers on the Hill, who where unaware it exists)

    Developer Response

    Thanks so much!
  • Hidden charge for current data

    Additional charge to update to current data the same day I bought it

    Developer Response

    The “hidden” charge is right in the description. We reduce the price so that people who already purchased the app can pay only $.99 to get the update. We think that’s fair. We don’t think you should buy a new app every year. Feel free to get a refund from Apple if this doesn’t work for you. We feel it’s more than fair given the price point.
  • Great app

    Gotta love how the developer makes a point to note the GOP members who voted to object to certify in 2020. Doesn’t do so for Dems (e.g. Sheila Jackson-Lee, Barbara Lee) who objected in 2016.

    Great app though. Very useful.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for rating the app with four stars. We appreciate it. We only point that particular vote out because it’s relevant to the current election both in primaries and the general election and the majority of the Republican caucus voted for it, not a fringe few. We’ve been asked by both Republicans and Democrats to list this information.
