Description
INTRODUCING 112TH CONGRESS!
Now you can have every member of Congress in YOUR pocket or on your iPad. This application is intended for people who work in the media, government relations or political professionals and activists who need to have the very latest updated information on Congress.
We update this app on an ongoing basis throughout the session and you only pay a nominal fee at the beginning of the next session in January 2013 to keep it up-to-date. If you do not require this level of detail, please consider Congress+, which has been featured by Apple five times.
CongressPro offers all of the vital information you need to work with, lobby, or cover Capitol Hill. Learn all about who represents you in Congress, contact them in Washington, follow their campaigns and challengers, follow their social networking pages, and see their YouTube videos. Share any link in the application via email, Facebook, or Twitter.
Remember, they work on Capitol Hill but they represent you, your clients, your association, or your readers.
REVIEWS
Congress+ has been featured by Apple as a "New and Noteworthy" application (February 2009), a "Staff Favorite" (June 2008, September 2009), and in two other sections, "America the Beautiful" (July 2010) and "Campaign 2012" (March 2012). This application, CongressPro, offers the same award-winning design but with more information and over-the-air updates.

Customer Reviews
Legislative Durectur
Great tool I use it every day. I tossed the bulky book I used to carry. Fantastic tech support as well.
Confessions of a Political Junkie
Love browsing through the roster and clicking on promiment names to easily glean information about the people who run this country.
The level of detail is impressive, including the legislative activity and committee membership. The profile pictures are clear and information about contacting each official on various social media (Facebook, Twitter) is available along with the usual e-mail address, telephone number & postal address.
No doubt this app is designed for people who conduct business on Capitol Hill but is a fascinating cornucopia of information for the rest of us.
My only peeve is that the database refresh should be made free of cost since you are paying a premium for this app to begin with.
