  1. 5/5What we all need right now!

    Political orders and decisions are so fast paced now and no one can keep track. It’s on purpose, and the people have a right to know what’s going on. This app is a polished and streamlined way to get information straight from the source, and will be something I use every day!

  2. 5/5Helpful for journalists

    As a journalist who covers business but doesn’t focus on policy directly, this Govbase app is a helpful way to quickly catch up on what policy proposals might affect the business world. I like that I can choose relevant topics like economy and small business. And I like that the app has a news tab so you can read stories that give you more context around the proposals. Also the user interface is intuitive and smooth.

  3. 5/5This is the app we all need right now!!

    I’ve always worried about being stuck in a social media echo chamber, and the news can feel manipulative at times. Govbase gives me peace of mind that I’m getting clear, unbiased updates on what the government is actually doing and who it impacts. I especially appreciate how it explains who policy changes affect and why. No emotional spin or chasing the hottest topic—just straightforward facts.

  4. 5/5Great for understanding political policies and news

    Really impressed with Govbase. It’s the only app I’ve seen that pulls bills, executive orders, and political news together and explains how it actually affects you and the people you care about. Having the news feed next to government actions gives so much clarity. Well done.

  5. 5/5Great News App

    Love the app, gets better with each new update. I like the new filter option on the social tab and how the policy tab give highlights and overall shows me content I wouldn’t see in my own.
