  1. 5/5It’s a shame it’s closing down

    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.

  2. 5/5Amazing resource!

    I discovered this app while searching for apps to inform me about what's happening in DC. It's straightforward and easy to use. I love being able to see bills by day and also seeing voting records by rep/senator. The app does a phenomenal job reporting out your rep/senator's voting record, sponsored bills and campaign financiers. Sadly, I discovered it after the API had been sunset. I would happily pay to get a real-time version of this app if the developer is able to resurrect it - this is a vital tool for good democracy and for being an informed citizen!!

  3. 5/5Sid, you still working on this??

    I just discovered this app, today, and it seemed that it updated just fine. But then I saw a note saying it would no longer be developed. But, it was just updated 2 weeks ago! Im not complaining, and I get college is a thing (kinda), but this is a really useful app, worthy of existing! It would be pretty great if you could get bipartisan support to keep it going!

  4. 5/5Really cool idea while it lasted :(

    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.

  5. 5/5Fantastic App

    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
