Customer Reviews
Was good now worthless
This app crashes all the time now that they introduced an overpriced new version. Don't was your money and don't trust the developer since they changed the quality of the app after purchase for a new high price one.
Application will not update and now keeps crashing
Despite several updates, this application will not update. Furthermore, it crashes every time you select a Congressman.
Great resource; SUGGESTIONS
1. PLEASE change the icon to just the Capitol and get rid of the tacky flag background.
2. Add COMMITTEES! Preferably next to state at the top.
