A Starting Point

Watched the founders on C-Span today. Downloaded the App and found it almost impossible to navigate. Clicked on two interviews. Both good, but when I tried to check out other interviews it would not allow me to navigate the site; it was stuck on the interview I wanted to leave. I will try it again. Sad it isn’t working properly.

Just downloaded it, so not my final review yet. First thing I noticed is that there is no closed caption on the videos. Could you please provide either closed caption or write out their statements in de field below.

Having an app to compliment the work at ASP is fantastic. The app is easy to navigate with tools to stay informed and civically engaged.

I immediately downloaded when I saw this app featured on the App Store front page. I watched videos on two topics and was a bit frustrated by the media controls. They don’t match with consistent UI from iOS (play/pause off to one side instead of centered), couldn’t find closed captions, and the video stream stuttered right away for both videos I tried to watch, on a stable Wi-Fi connection. I ended up deleting the app after I heard one politician tell a straight up lie that “marijuana has addictive properties” and that legalization in my state of TX would bring in the drug cartels. (Think about it, if it’s legalized, cartels wouldn’t be in business anymore since their product would be available at common grocery stores and specialty shops, like CBD outlets.) That blatant lie shows me this app prioritizes Both Sides-ism, even when both sides are not playing by the same rules (truth and integrity MATTER.)

If you’re looking for links to brief on-camera interviews of elected officials giving opinions on topics the app is ok. If, however, you were looking for an app that would help you keep track of your federal or state representatives’ record and opinions on current topics and legislation it’s not useful. It doesn’t even include contact information for them.

Please make dark mode!!!!!!!

I just found this app and I’m so happy I did! How great is it to hear directly from our elected officials. Excellent way to see the senators opinions and hear from them in a shorten manner

I do like the app, as it is very helpful with showing me how it works in politics. However the only thing I don’t understand is why when I go to sign in it doesn’t recognize my sign in

In a world where moderates are considered indecisive and where politics have become meshed with science, education, faith, health, and our sense of selves in a way our nation has not seen for many years, even the concept of an unbiased news feed is a novelty. The only way to be certain that what you hear is not being put through someone else’s filter is to hear it from the source. In politics, that is the politicians. Not their party, not a journalist who is interpreting the information, and certainly not from random people on the Internet who have an opinion that may or may not be informed. This app has the potential to help deep polarized politics by allow them the opportunity for officials to share their perspective in a tight enough timeframe that they really have to stick to their main bullet points and not wander off into partisan language. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just when I thought there was a little hope of reconciliation in the near future, or any acceptance of a moderate like me.

Honestly, it’s a very informative app but I wish the guys could interview Bernie Sanders!!
