### 3/5 — Harder to use now

*2026-05-14, version 1.0.8*

I loved this app before recent updates to its display and layout.  Because the letter/petition no longer displays the unique number-letter code or the author’s name prominently, it’s much harder to find the letters I  trust and want to send, which are usually recommended by substack authors I trust.  I used to send communications daily with the old interface, and now I rarely receive notifications.  So my letters to my elected officials have decreased.  Still a good tool but it was so much easier to use before.  Based on these changes, I’ve decided to stop my paid subscription to it.

### 5/5 — Excellent service!

*2026-01-16, version 1.0.3*

Thank you so much for making it easy to contact my reps! I would love to see the following added to the app: 1) The ability to see more campaigns 2) If I can see more campaigns, I’d love a filter to for which gov officials (gov, congress, scotus, etc) 3) The ability to see what I’ve already sent, either by looking at my text messages or by my making them as sent manually

### 3/5 — A Feature I’d Like To See

*2026-01-09, version 1.0.3*

Don’t get me wrong. As a hardcore resister raised antifascist by a WWII Eagle Squadron fighter pilot, I am glad glad glad that ResistBot is here. But when I check for new actions, it’s always the same things. I’m not finding any new organizers worth following this way. I would like to see a “refresh” button I could use to show me new actions from new organizers. That would make ResistBot d@mn near perfect.

### 5/5 — One of the best apps

*2025-12-30, version 1.0.3*

This app is amazing and I use it almost every day!

### 5/5 — I NEVER write reviews, but…

*2025-10-05, version 1.0.3*

For my fellow Spoonies looking for a way to get involved with resistance and activism, RESISTBOT is awesome! 

It will connect you with petitions, read the whole letter being sent, get your required basic info, and send emails to YOUR representatives. This is the lowest spoon option I have found. 

If you can’t call reps, do this! If you have the means, donate to support their mission!!

### 4/5 — A few fixes and it’ll be perfect

*2025-07-15, version 1.0.3*

This makes contacting our local officials to do the right thing SO much easier, especially with all the insanity going on with this administration. However, like so many have said in other reviews, can we PLEASE have a way to show which campaigns we’ve already signed (a check mark?) and perhaps a way to organize them better?

### 4/5 — can be fun

*2025-06-22, version 1.0.3*

needs a few tweaks here and there but overall it’s fun to annoy these people ‘working for us’ and then taking more and more away from us.

### 5/5 — Makes things simple

*2025-06-17, version 1.0.3*

Everything is a lot right now, so being able to engage with my representatives without having to work too hard is nice. We need to keep the pressure on them, and this app makes it simple. I just wish it was easier to tell which campaigns I’ve already done

### 1/5 — First use great after that ridiculous

*2025-06-15, version 1.0.3*

This app is a complete and utter mess, the first time I used it for worked perfect after that it just kept sending the same message to type in done DONE it must’ve sent it 25 or more times when I got frustrated and typed what an absolute mess the app was it sent that as my message. Before and if  I ever use this thing again it needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Foolishness

*2025-05-24, version 1.0.3*

The “issues” are all product of the echo chamber. This app isn’t going to affect anything and is just another childish virtue-selfie.  Civic engagement requires at least a basic understanding of complex issues. Expect the price of oat milk to be labeled a “constitutional crisis” here.
