Description

Congressional App Challenge Winner (CA-13, 2022)
Nothing's stopping you from reading through the Congressional Record or watching C-SPAN all day, but Pocket Congress makes information on the actions of your representatives and Congress as a whole much more accessible and searchable.
With the app, you can:
• See recent bills in Congress
• Find your Representative using your zip code 
• See Congress members’ votes on recent bills.
• Read a brief description about them and view trends about how they vote
• Call their office, straight from the app!
• Follow bills & receive updates on their progress
You can also search for recent bills or through 30 years of historical data.
• Search by category, such as 'healthcare' or 'environmental'
• Search by bill name
• For advanced users: search by bill number and create advanced filters
For all bills, you can see their stage in the legislative process and a summary of the bill text authored by the Congressional Research Service.
Share links to specific bills and congressmembers (perfect for educating your friends or spreading the word on social media)!
“Very cool.” –Congressman Jeff Jackson

Make a button that allows users to be directed to the contact information / link to website to contact congress person after reviewing a bill.

Not Easy To Negotiate and getting in

Marty Moon on

United States

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?

Won’t stay open

Fustupidnickname on

United States

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.

Great interface

RajeevB on

United States

Loads really fast, with up to date information on bills.

Bill tracker missing

Leenamanjunath on

United States

There needs to be a feature to search and save the list of bills users like to track.

Good app

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.

Pocket Congress App

United States

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.

Can’t believe how good the interface is. So easy to use. Quickly able to get info on Congressmen and bills. Love!

Easy to use!

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!
