Thank you for the application Sir👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Recommendation *2024-05-18, version 1.8.0* Make a button that allows users to be directed to the contact information / link to website to contact congress person after reviewing a bill. ### 5/5 — Great interface *2023-12-16* Loads really fast, with up to date information on bills. ### 5/5 — Good app *2023-08-18, version 1.5.0* Thank you sid ### 5/5 — Great for keeping up with legislative actions *2023-02-02, version 1.4.3* This app is extremely helpful for anyone hoping to gain a better understanding of their district representatives and serves an important purpose of educating the general public on ongoing legislative reforms and bills. ### 5/5 — Pocket Congress App *2023-02-02, version 1.4.3* Excellent app for both drilling down on an individual rep’s voting record and seeing how a proposed bill fared overall. The interface is highly intuitive and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Pocket Fact Checker *2022-11-06, version 1.0* Can’t believe how good the interface is. So easy to use. Quickly able to get info on Congressmen and bills. Love! ### 5/5 — Easy to use! *2022-11-03, version 1.1* I never realized the scale of congress before I downloaded this app. It’s super easy to understand all the features and what everything means despite not being a politician. Highly recommend even just to scroll through and see what’s happening in the government! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not kept current *2025-07-17, version 1.8.3* I stumbled upon this app today and thought it would be helpful. Sadly, I did some lookups and all I saw were bills worked on in the last Congressional session. This would be handy if it could be maintained. I cannot imagine how to do this to continually mirror Congress.gov, but that is what is needed. Until then, I will keep using the gov’t site. It’s pretty good except maybe for latency times. ### 1/5 — Defunct *2025-01-24, version 1.8.2* This app is no longer being updated. Why is it still in the store? ### 1/5 — Won’t stay open *2024-01-09, version 1.6.3* I really like the app, but there are continual problems with getting it open and stay open. It opens but immediately closes. It’s very frustrating. When it works, it’s great. I just can’t get it to work consistently. ### 2/5 — Do NOT download *2025-04-01, version 1.8.3* Hasn’t bbeen updated since July of 2024 and will have no more update ### 2/5 — Not Easy To Negotiate and getting in *2024-03-30, version 1.8.0* When I’m on with my rep., I can’t switch over to another rep. In my state to see how they voted on a bill. Also, under her photo, I can’t scroll down to see her overall voting record. Am I doing something wrong, or is the app. screwed up? ### 3/5 — Sid, are u still there? 👋 *2026-04-05, version 1.8.4* Such a great concept of an app for those of us would love the updates from congress. Just downloaded but it still has 2024 as the last update. Please dont give up! Hell, charge of u have to. Best regards. ### 3/5 — Needs to be updated *2026-01-10, version 1.8.3* Looks like the representatives haven’t been updated in a while. ### 3/5 — Could be useful *2025-04-20, version 1.8.3* Could be useful but it’s outdated. It doesn’t list my current representative, and the listings are from last year. ### 3/5 — I gave it only 3 stars because it hasn’t been updated since the last election *2025-02-09, version 1.8.2* It wouldn’t be so bad if it had the option to manually add newly elected representatives. There is just too much going on for this omission to be acceptable. Otherwise, this would be a great app. ### 3/5 — Bill tracker missing *2023-11-19, version 1.6.3* There needs to be a feature to search and save the list of bills users like to track. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So glad it’s back! *2026-06-24, version 2.0.0* Thank you for bringing this back! It’s working so smoothly. ### 5/5 — It’s back! *2026-06-23, version 2.0.0* Fully functional! Thanks Sid for building a whole new back end. ### 5/5 — Sid, you still working on this?? *2026-02-20, version 1.8.4* I just discovered this app, today, and it seemed that it updated just fine. But then I saw a note saying it would no longer be developed. But, it was just updated 2 weeks ago! Im not complaining, and I get college is a thing (kinda), but this is a really useful app, worthy of existing! It would be pretty great if you could get bipartisan support to keep it going! ### 5/5 — Travesty that this is no longer updated *2025-03-06, version 1.8.3* This app is beautifully made and so user friendly. I’m only sorry that it’s no longer updating because we need it now more than ever. Thank you for caring about the people of this country so much to build something we are so woefully ignorant of. ### 5/5 — Amazing resource! *2025-03-05, version 1.8.3* I discovered this app while searching for apps to inform me about what's happening in DC. It's straightforward and easy to use. I love being able to see bills by day and also seeing voting records by rep/senator. The app does a phenomenal job reporting out your rep/senator's voting record, sponsored bills and campaign financiers. Sadly, I discovered it after the API had been sunset. I would happily pay to get a real-time version of this app if the developer is able to resurrect it - this is a vital tool for good democracy and for being an informed citizen!! ### 5/5 — Really cool idea while it lasted :( *2025-02-18, version 1.8.3* Through no fault of the dev, the core function of the app, tracking bills and resolutions, stopped in 2024 because the data source the app used stopped being maintained. This was a really neat idea that I wish someone would revive. There needs to be an accessible, clean app that lets people easily track what’s happening in our government. Thanks to the dev for making this. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2025-02-16, version 1.8.3* Wow I just found out about this app only to find out that it will be closing down. I hope someone keeps this app active as it’s a must have for all the tax payers and anyone interested in knowing what the Government is passing laws on. Why not charge a one time fee as it sure is worth it to keep this app updated. This is a must have app ### 5/5 — Please get the app going again! *2025-02-07, version 1.8.2* Loved this app! I was so sad that it was no longer going to be updated and it seems We The People need an app like this now more than ever. Please bring it back. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2025-01-16* Wow I just found out about this app only to find out that it will be closing down. I hope someone keeps this app active as it’s a must have for all the tax payers and anyone interested in knowing what the Government is passing laws on. ### 5/5 — It’s a shame it’s closing down *2024-07-26, version 1.8.1* Whoever created this app, hats off to you. I think every single American should have this on their device. Robin Williams once said that he wished that they forced members of Congress to wear jackets with their sponsors on them like they do in NASCAR, this was the closest thing to that available. It seems that every watchdog group out here has been shutting down within the last handful of years, and these apps are becoming less and less available. I hope that the developer of this app will make another version once he graduates college, we need this kind of information. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
