Capitol Call

I downloaded this app today and at first was impressed with the way it was setup. I quickly lost interest when simple functionality such as looking at representative information caused the app to grind to a screeching halt when you scroll down close to related news. It continued to spin while looking for news and wouldn’t let you go back or cancel it in any way other than to quit the app. I tried many different representatives and had the same result. This wasn’t a matter of waiting long enough for it to finish looking for the info. After 10 minutes(!), it was still searching when I gave up and closed the app. It simply shouldn’t take that long plus you should be permitted to cancel the search or at least go back a level. Once the developer fixes this, I’ll reevaluate the app. Until they get a handle on it, I hope they’ll consider disabling this feature.

The app takes 30sec of googling out of your life. Instead of doing a little investigative research the app puts the phone numbers of your states representatives right on there app for you, how nifty is that? Not to mention it even tells you how to argue your opinion and what to say. However, take caution; as you begin to read the call to actions you start to fill the “left” or “liberal” biased, no big deal right? Sure if you like communism. Lol, JK... but seriously. Any way, as a consumer I would say question where the materials are coming from no matter what your beliefs are. Hope my review comes as a light hearted and half helpful review.

Thank you for offering an awesome app that allows people to find their representatives information easily and readily contact them. I would like to suggest to look into utilizing the Sunlight Foundations’ data to possibly incorporate their voting history and campaign finances into a similar app? I always wanted an app like this to be available to people and now I guess I found it. Thanks again! PS. I wish I could also suggest links/information that is missing from certain officials pages like their social media accounts and websites. PPS - I’m a pretty conservative person and can realize that a community driven app like this is simply going to reflect the interests of those who choose to contribute. The most helpful part of this app is simply the geolocation god representatives and contact info presented in a simple way.
