UK Petitions
Read full descriptionHide full description
This UK Petitions App retrieves data from the UK government's petitions website, and slices and dices its results in a user-friendly way. No more trying to decipher that opaque JSON file that the Government website presents. Key Features: browse recent & popular petitions, search for specific issues/ causes, and track petition progress, sign or create petitions. Become more aware! And access the full text of official UK Government responses, where available - and if you have a spare week to read them. A lot of effort goes into signing a petition, a lot more goes into creating one. The big ones - eg Brexit or Marcus Rashford - are ultimately completely ignored. As are the small, and often comical, ones.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: ChamberWise at 3 against UK Petitions's 1. ChamberWise also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
