Reviews: What People Think About Pocket Congress

Whoever created this app, hats off to you. I think every single American should have this on their device. Robin Williams once said that he wished that they forced members of Congress to wear jackets with their sponsors on them like they do in NASCAR, this was the closest thing to that available. It seems that every watchdog group out here has been shutting down within the last handful of years, and these apps are becoming less and less available. I hope that the developer of this app will make another version once he graduates college, we need this kind of information.

Through no fault of the dev, the core function of the app, tracking bills and resolutions, stopped in 2024 because the data source the app used stopped being maintained. This was a really neat idea that I wish someone would revive. There needs to be an accessible, clean app that lets people easily track what’s happening in our government. Thanks to the dev for making this.

Wow I just found out about this app only to find out that it will be closing down. I hope someone keeps this app active as it’s a must have for all the tax payers and anyone interested in knowing what the Government is passing laws on. Why not charge a one time fee as it sure is worth it to keep this app updated. This is a must have app
