Roll Call News

Just as the title says.

This app is non responsive. Is it still being used?

The Roll Call app stopped working about two months ago. It no longer updates news stories. This is now a zombie app. Too bad.

• Can’t copy story excerpts from within the app • Attempts to send stories via SMS or email causes freeze-up • Attempts to communicate with developer met with unresponsiveness • Images with stories improperly oversized • App is now completely dead, i.e., does not update w new stories.

Update app for iPhone x

App desperately needs iPhone XS Max resolution support. Please update!!

Worth the quick glances at the political news. Come on, who is working on this app? Do you know that it crashes on almost every story? Fix it!

Roll Call is a great way to track news about the U.S. Congress and other branches of federal government. But the app looks and feels like the result of a high school coding assignment. Headlines and captions are routinely truncated, with no way to get the missing text. The top story is promoted with an annoying popup that frequently contains a picture and NO text. (I have yet to see it display a complete headline.) Photos and graphics are dumped into articles without scaling, so you only see about 10% of the whole thing. This might be amusing if the app had been designed as a guessing game. But in a news app — where the unscaled images mean lots of scrolling to get to the rest of the article — it's the opposite of amusing. Stick to the website.

Hahaha what a joke

Glad to see iOS sharing extensions added, but why are the articles so old? The app seems to be stuck in October.
