I can’t register 😠

First time it said my password was not good.
Second time it said my email was already being used. Duh by me! Fix this problem

Buh-bye

I noticed they updated the app. Now you have to donate $$ to use the app or when your free trial is over you’re done using it. Just deleted it, buh-bye.

Updated app!

Everything works great now and matches their website.

App doesn’t work.

Will not let you do anything. Has been like this for a long time where are the updates?

Freezes

App continually freezes plus information is very outdated.

Very buggy

Was looking forward to this app after hearing Andrew Andrzejewski speaking at Hillsdale. Very buggy and practically useless. An organization which criticizes government for wasteful incompetence should think twice before releasing an app like this.

Freez

Keep freezing every time I’m trying to use the app

A LOT of bugs

This is a very amateurish app. It frequently locks up and crashes. Almost useless.

Freezes

Freezes for local area -the only part I care about. Bummer

Won’t Open For Me

Just installed the app at my son‘s recommendation and it will not open on my iPhone 11 max. He has an older iPhone 6s Plus and it works fine on his device. I made sure my iOS is on the latest version, I deleted the app, performed a hard restart, reinstalled, still no go. It appears to be related to location services.

App needs updated

When using the search feature the app freezes and requires the user to close the app and restart. This happened every time.

Outdated

The app was great 3 years ago but state level info hasn’t been updated since 2018. It needs to be updated annually. I’d bet if it was, people would be willing to pay for it.

Does not open

The app does not open. Does not work.

Local Level Doesn’t Work

I’d love to see all the data at the local level, but app freezes after zip code input.

Needs Many Updates

It’s like children are programming this app. Please update this ASAP...

Great concept, horrible app

App doesn’t even work on iOS. Can’t lookup any meaningful data. Failure to be able to filter by organization makes this app useless IMO.

Form doesn’t unfold

Can’t tell if the app is searching
Screen looks like a paper not unfolded all the way

Doesn’t work. Period.

It jams up the moment I open the local section.
Please fix and update.
AMAZING IDEA.

Open Books app

I couldn’t pull anything up on the app. The page was showing half folded where you couldn’t see anything on the app.

Very quirky

Freezes in the middle of changing screens. When looking up an individual name, asks for a state. Looks like no updates or fixes of bugs in 3 years. Unheard of these days of such rapid change.
