### 1/5 — Don’t download this app!

*2023-04-26*

I posted a previous review and it’s not visible, I’m hoping this one will remain. The most recent House info is from February of 2023. The most recent senate info is from February of 22’. Don’t allow it to have your location, just don’t download the app. This app either was given up on a year ago or it’s for people who don’t pay attention and forget they have the app and then it allows the app to track your device usage.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t pull up US federal representatives anymore

*2023-02-23, version 1.4.5*

Been using it for a number of years used to work well until recently. Now only pulls up local state representatives.

### 1/5 — Needs updating

*2023-02-12, version 1.4.5*

Content is outdated. The current congressional members are not shown.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-02-09, version 1.4.5*

I love this app it immediately shows me my representatives, our representatives. Please use this app

### 3/5 — Our Congress

*2023-02-03, version 1.4.5*

Why was the great website turned into something practically useless

### 5/5 — Needs Update

*2023-01-28, version 1.4.5*

A great app for contacting my Federal and State officials. I just wish it was updated with the current Congress - even if I have to search for them.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-01-10, version 1.4.5*

Not current, not useful

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-01-09, version 1.4.5*

Not working

### 1/5 — Congress

*2023-01-06, version 1.4.5*

Cannot access our US senate and reps

### 5/5 — Amazingly Unbiased Raw Information

*2022-11-01, version 1.4.5*

This is the real news, not filtered through the media. Solid use of APIs to gather and  compile info as close to the source as they could get. 

The app is very easy to use and does not take up much storage. Also, huge bonus is that this app does not collect data. Kudos to the developer!
