Horrible DO NOT SPEND 1 Dime.

Looked up Hoyer... no problem there. Tried every way to contact the Congressman. NOTHING WORKED...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Waste of $.

Switch and bait

Gato? on

United States

Thieves. This is how they do it: you pay for the app, open it for the first time and find out you have to pay more to update information to the current congress.

Rip off

Eddie H 2222 on

United States

Charged me 1.99 for an old version (114th congress)then you have to pay again for the current congress. How do they get away with this?

I can't believe they charge for this

A Disappointed User 3$# on

United States

This app creates nearly zero value. Most sections of the app simply load external websites that are freely available. The only native element appears to be the list of legislators (+$1), which is actually less elegant than the list on congress.gov. What a wasted opportunity, and a waste of $3.

Outdated

Barb47 on

United States

Why would they sell you an outdated app? It is May 2015. Wouldn’t ya think you would get the 2015 congress and not 2014=scam

Outdated

Soundco on

United States

I paid $.99 for an app that was outdated and immediately wanted another buck to update.

Senate links point to House websites

Laelius on

United States

I've noticed several committee links (especially Senate Committees) direct you to House Committee websites.

Ridiculous

Patrickfb123 on

United States

It's really a terrible app. Not user friendly, no sponsored bills and worst of all they keep asking for money for the update.

Asking for update

United States

Just purchased it and it is already asking me to purchase the "new" congress. Hmm

Great App & Honest People

@RailroadMatt on

United States

This is a very good app. Extremely useful for discovering congressman both by state or by last name. The mapping that shows districts is awesome. All you could want to know in one place. The people that have put this app together are also very good to work with if you encounter issues. They worked through my issues with great responsiveness.
