Description

Introducing Congress in Your Pocket, Plus Edition, for the 118th Congress, First Session (2023). This app ships with preloaded data for the 118th Congress, First Session (January, 2023). If you'd like additional updates throughout the year, you can get them through an in-app purchase.
OVERVIEW
No matter who you support, you can have every member of Congress in YOUR pocket or on your iPad. Use the app that tens of thousands of people who work on the Hill and with Congress everyday, as well as their constituents have on their iPhones and iPads.
This application offers all of the vital information you need to be an active and informed citizen. Learn all about who represents you in Congress, contact them in Washington, follow their campaigns and challengers, read their Facebook and Twitter pages, and see their YouTube videos. Share any link in the application via email, Facebook, or Twitter.
While this will be enough for most people, if you need over-the-air updates, separate sections for lists of committees and subcommittees, and well as the ability to share notes with your team, please consider our app CongressPro on the App Store. Congress+ is updated every few months during the session, usually with new content.
Remember, they work on Capitol Hill but they work for you.

Useful app

Very useful app, thanks! I even recommend it to some staffers on the Hill, who where unaware it exists)

Hidden charge for current data

Additional charge to update to current data the same day I bought it

Great app

kaffakid2 on

United States

Gotta love how the developer makes a point to note the GOP members who voted to object to certify in 2020. Doesn’t do so for Dems (e.g. Sheila Jackson-Lee, Barbara Lee) who objected in 2016. Great app though. Very useful.

Author's Liberal Bias on Full Display

james10 on

United States

Bios info for several Republican law makers indicated they failed to vote to certify the 2020 elections. However; Cohen fails to note the same info for several Democrats who did the same in 2000, 2004 and 2016 elections (Waters, Johnson, etc.). Facts do matter unless you have a political bias.

This used to be so good?

What happen? Where are the committees? I paid for this again to get the update and now the new version doesn’t have any way to see who is on what committee? #fail

Not preloaded with 117th congress

anna-aaaa on

United States

I paid 5.99 for this app on Feb 4, 2021. The app description says "preloaded with 117th congress. It is not. I need to do an in-app purchase for 1.99. The correct price for this app should be 7.98. I don't mind paying that price but don't like receiving an obsolete product for 5.99.

Most helpful App on Capitol Hill. I use it constantly; close to indispensable. I’ve had a couple of suggestions and questions, and the owner gets back instantly. Cohen impresses me as one committed and professional individual.

Solid support

I enjoy this app, and, when I had a support need, I got prompt support with little wait. I really appreciate this company.

PA redistricting issue is FIXED

cmdunn1972 on

United States

For anyone in PA, the database now reflects the new Congressional Districts correctly. It was done without an app update since it was a dbase issue on their server. The app runs smoothly, and is helpful for politics junkies like me who like to quickly and easily get the scoop on what our politicians are up to. Customer service is phenomenal. I was happily surprised to learn that the creator himself, Dr. Michael Cohen, emailed back and forth with me to fix the issue I had. Then he followed up when it was corrected.

Great App

I love this app. I use all the time.
