### 4/5 — Updates?????

*2026-05-16*

Great app but how about some up/to-date updating. It has been 4 years!!!!!!

### 2/5 — I’ve had this on my phones for years…

*2025-09-14*

Everyone should have this within reach…now, more than ever! Your life may depend on it!

### 2/5 — Annotations are not accurate

*2025-08-11*

Annotations are full of inconsistencies, assumptions and incorrect information.  One such example is from Article 1 where the author states that the militia is the National Guard.   Another example from Article 1 is that the author mentions the “Federal Government” having the power to do something when Article 1 specifically only governs Congress’ authority.

### 4/5 — Impeachment

*2025-07-18*

Article 2, Section 4 is outdated, as follows:
“Two Presidents have been impeached in US history, Andrew Johnson and William Clinton.”

### 4/5 — Need to update

*2023-12-20*

The supreme court’s decision on topics especially in 2A opinion from justices Thomas

### 2/5 — No search capability

*2023-03-07*

It’s okay and includes some extras like presidential stare of the union speeches for an extra 99¢ but it doesn’t support searching.

### 2/5 — Stopped working

*2022-06-30, version 3.95*

Stopped connecting on multiple networks.  Opened to blank pages, wouldn’t reload, unresponsive.  Deleted.  (iphone, 6/2022).

### 3/5 — Needs updating

*2021-05-23, version 3.9.1*

Needs updating especially the Supreme Court cases..

### 4/5 — Commentary

*2021-04-20*

Realize that the comments on each section are just that, comments.  They are not the words of the original authors.  In some cases the comments have not been fully edited for grammar and typographic errors.  Regarding the comment to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2; the commentator presents an argument regarding the Presidential Electors (Electoral College in modern parlance) that  was pushed by groups biased against the clause.  Look up the numbers for Wyoming and California for the 2016 election.  If the number of registered voters is used rather than the number of voters who took time to actually vote then the ratio of voters per elector is quite different and very representative of the registered population of the states.  The comment in this case is disingenuous.

### 2/5 — Too much commentary

*2021-01-11*

There is no need for commentary.  That’s opinion and should not be included.

### 3/5 — Why all the commentary?

*2019-12-16*

We dont need all the commentary.  Just give us the information.  Maybe you all can put in Settings:   View Commentary:  Yes or No
Also, maybe add highlights.    
Overall, very good app.

### 4/5 — Great education tool

*2019-12-11*

Lately with all the trouble in Washington this has been very informative and has helped me understand why the house is taking action.  Thank you for providing a free way to view the constitution in its simplest form.

### 4/5 — Bookmarks

*2019-01-30*

I feel like there needs to be a bookmark feature because when I started reading it earlier today, I left off in the middle of a section and I’d like to continue reading it but I can’t recall where I left off currently. A bookmark feature would be VERY helpful. Thanks :)

### 2/5 — The word freedom does not appear in the constitution!

*2018-12-22*

So if you search for “speech” it returns the first amendment. 

If you search for “freedom” it says no results. 

Maybe Ginsberg used this app during law school!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — so many typos

*2025-06-18*

this needs grammarly

### 1/5 — Very bad for trying to get away with 3rd degree murder

*2021-12-01*

So I installed this app thinking it would help me get away with 3rd degree murder because I killed my grandma and dog due to them both giving me hpv and testicular cancer stage 2 

1/5 star would not try again

### 1/5 — Incorrect definition of articles.

*2020-11-01*

This used to be good but then they updated it to provide definitions to articles. Now–like all politics–has been ruined to state what they view as their meaning behind the constitution, yet much goes against what originalist or federalist papers claim. This is wrong for anyone trying to learn the constitution and it’s meaning. How about leave your personal opinion out, or include both opinions.

### 1/5 — Anti-Textualist Inerpretation

*2020-04-16*

The makers of this app are unfair and misleading. Anyone who goes to the App Store to download a pocket constitution is doing so out of love and reverence for the founding fathers and the world’s longest lasting constitution that they drafted. The commentary in this app attempts to mock their work and is coming from an uninformed perspective. People who want to learn about the constitution so read it directly and be skeptical of other who insist on filtering the original version and providing their perspective. Opt to download a different version.

### 1/5 — Very bias!

*2019-07-26*

The Bill of Right were a compromise to the complaint’s and campaign’s of the Anti-Federalists. We would not have those rights if it wasn’t for them. It would only be correct to include the Anti-Federalist papers in this app.

### 1/5 — Poor Interpretation

*2018-11-16*

The Constitution is one of the most important documents in our Nation.  Every citizen should know and understand what our constitution is and how it provides for our way of life and gives the freedoms we enjoy.   Unfortunately, the interpretation to the constitution in this App is extremely poor and poorly written.  The individual who completed the narrative didn’t spend much time learning and understanding the founding fathers’ mindset.  Find another app to get your constitutional fix.

### 1/5 — Slanted Commentary

*2017-06-11, version 3.7*

As with other reviewers, I found that the commentary is slanted against constitutional issues and doesn't contain current SCOTUS decisions.  Recommend another app or avoid all commentary

### 1/5 — Not the exact text

*2017-05-08, version 3.7*

For example the beginning of Article I section 8 is "The Congress shall have Power". This app modified that to "The Congress shall have the power:".  I want the original Constitution, not some edited version.

### 1/5 — Biased commentary

*2017-03-12, version 3.7*

While the app itself does a good job of displaying the Constitution in a readable format for devices, it unfortunately contains a fatal flaw, biased commentary that makes the app unfit for use. I realizes this after I'd downloaded it for my daughter and she wasn't able to tell where the text of the Constitution ended and the commentary began. One example: the commentary interpreted the general welfare clause as a "catch all" to allow the federal government to do essentially anything it desired.

### 1/5 — Comments from the author are skewed against the Constitution

*2017-01-02, version 3.6.1*

The comments from the author are skewed against the Constitution. I do NOT recommend this app to those of whom are seeking to learn the Constitution. For instance the comments made regarding the 2nd Amendment direct the reader away from the true meaning of the God given rights that the Constitution upholds. 

First of all the 2nd Amendment is clear in it's meanings. The right for every American to own arms in order to defend against a tyrannical government is the exact meaning. Along with the right to defend ones life, family and property go hand in hand. No man or government can take these rights from you. The author clearly is not in favor of the true meanings of the Constitution. This is only one example, there are more examples to be found.

### 5/5 — Missing a Search Feature

*2024-04-18, version 3.95*

Must include a search feature.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-12-31*

FYI, Article 1 Section 3 Clause 6 should be updated to include Trump in the annotation

### 5/5 — YAYYY

*2019-11-14*

I love this math app

### 5/5 — Update with D. Trump State of Union

*2019-02-07*

Hi I love this app it’s so helpful and I’ve shared it with my history class. Could you please update the State of the Union addresses to include President Trump’s Address from February 5, 2019? Thank you!!

### 5/5 — It’s come down to this...

*2018-06-21*

Americans all need to know a little bit more about their country. This app is a great way to start. First of all, no ads! Even the developer puts “no ads“ as the first description of the app. In a world where ads can ruin the best app, it’s a pleasure to not face those annoying little pests.

The UI is not the greatest, a bit clunky and somewhat lacking in design, but it’s pretty intuitive getting around the app. It’s basically just a lot of reading, but important reading, so the UI isn’t that important. There are a couple of upgrades for those historical nerds who like reading about old Supreme Court cases and the like, and there is a free commentary that comes along with just about everything on the app. The commentary may be good for some people who find it hard to wade through some of the early English legalese that most of the product is written in. And for those of you who don’t want the constitution “interpreted” by anyone for you, then just don’t read the commentaries.

It never hurts to know where you stand in your own country.

### 5/5 — Good usable product

*2017-05-18, version 3.7*

Easy to use with complete text and sound scholarship.

### 5/5 — Great!!! The constitution only

*2017-04-21, version 3.7*

There are reviews critical of the commentary. Do yourself a favor read the constitution and make your own commentary. I believe that is what those critiques missed. As an American you can interpret the constitution and anything else the way you want as long as it does not infringe the rights of others. Don't listen to the commentary. 

Also, there should be red flags raised when a review includes the invocation and endorsement of gods, dogma or ideology as a tool of criticism. Very sad.

### 5/5 — Great to have on iPhone

*2017-02-10, version 3.7*

Very convenient little app.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2017-02-02, version 3.7*

I rather have things in paper format when I can but this is something I really want to have near me all the time/on hand to take a peak at here and there so that I really know what these papers say. That's why I downloaded it originally and this second time. Decades ago students used to memorize the entire constitution.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-07-04, version 3.6.1*

I like the app. From what I can see, the bugs are worked out, but I haven't read it all yet.
