An app that actually makes sense

Honestly didn’t think a politics app could hold my attention but this one does. No bias no noise just straight info on bills your reps and how they vote. I can pull up a bill and understand what it does in like seconds. The whole thing is laid out so clean which is rare for anything political. Been using it and it actually makes me feel like I know whats going on for once.

Best way to stay up to date

Pillars has been amazing to use to keep up with US politics. The app is executing perfectly what it is advertised to do - Deliver non-biased political information in an easy to digest manner. I love the interface and the fact that I can choose what politicians and bills to closely follow. I even was able to easily access resources to get me registered to vote for the upcoming primary as well. Overall, great app and I will be using daily moving forward!

Simplified Politics

I always felt I didn’t have all the information when it came to electing officials and knowing who truly had my best interests. With Pillars, this gap is filled and politics is more digestible.


You get to see every race on your ballot, how politicians voted, and breaks down each bill.

The app is also free, and does more than what you ask for in a political app. Super exciting and I’m glad something like this is finally here.

KILLER FEATURE: Let’s you see hidden policy changes in bills

The fact that you can see all the information politicians try to bury in 1000+ page bills makes this one of the best non-partial news apps makes this one of my favorite ways to do my own research.

Very happy that something like this exists, as it puts the tools in everybody’s hands to be educated on what is being mentioned and passed in upcoming bills!

Where has this been?!

Cuts through biased commentary with actual information, super user friendly and the badges are really fun! Wish we had Pillars 10 years ago.
