There are a lot of ridiculous leftist know-it-alls sharing their uninformed opinions. Sadly that's just something you have to put up with on this site. I try to educate them one at a time...

Brigade needs to stop the flow Alt-Right Republicans into our community. They are a threat to our way of discussion. I suggest a 90-120 day hold on all new Brigadiers until prospective members can be properly vetted. Make Brigade Great Again!

Numbers don't add This app is showing at current date and time (2:39pm pst, 10/10/2016) that they only have 10 thousand people that have downloaded the app. Though when you see the total number of pledged people in the app for the 4 different presidential candidate's it's over 40 thousand. More than 20,000 for Trump alone. This does not add up. What's wrong with your app?

New UI broke the app. The simpler Form of this app in the past allowed easy and fast voting and commenting of different topics. I believe they updated the user interface in order to take advantage of newer models with a more powerful hardware, but had made it very frustrating in the process to everyone else. Pages take 10 and sometimes 29 seconds to load, sometimes it never makes it past the white screen unless you try to reload. I am very sad for this app, it was first amendment application, now you just stare and wait.

Big Scam Site is full of petty right wing argumentative trolls. Who do nothing but flame posts with right wing innuendo, conjecture, conspiracies, and framers and attacks. Used real name validated by FB and my online voter record and the site deleted my account for not using a real name even though I used my REAL NAME. If I could give this crappy app 0 stars I WOULD.

Why? The latest update eliminated the simple and elegant functionality of the original app. Why has this happened and when will there be an update to correct these problems? Especially when such a platform is most vitally needed?

No longer fun to use The app got a lot slower to load and slower to interact with when they introduced the new UI. Quality of discourse has also declined, with a lot of debates devolving into name calling. I used to like participating in the conversations, but now I think it's time to uninstall the app.
The world's first network for voters? It may be the world's first network for voters but is useless outside of the US... Great idea though.
Mismanaged Each update the UI gets slower and harder to use. App is quickly going downhill
really hate new update doesn't work on my kit Kat tablet or my lollipop phone. fix please! what is this crap? do you not want Android users on brigade now?
Not Wrong The numbers you see don't add up, because you don't need the app to pledge. I did it last night on my browser on my phone, and now I'm downloading the app.
Great, but hard to navigate This app is really great and enjoyable, but it's confusing to navigate and could have a slightly simpler structure about it
Brigade No longer usable without frustration and exasperation. Shiny new format slower than molasses, when it manages to get unstuck, eliminated useful information previously available. Support can only be posed a question, rather than telling them what you want to say. Looks prettier at the expense of functionality and interaction among Brigadiers. Not sure if support responds to inquiries anymore.
AWFUL NEW UI the old one had material design and actually local user interface. The new one just acts as if its a wrapper for a crappy website.
Says to upgrade Says to upgrade, a newer version is available, I come to the playstore and the version I have Is the latest. Wow, junque. How long before you fix it? ? ? It's still insisting I upgrade, PLEASE fix it!
Could add more countries It's more like a biased information reg only few countries .. sad
Opinions matter, regardless of political party I no longer know if I'm on the left or the right in terms of politics. Brigade offers you the opportunity to express your opinions and understand more about up-to-date information news topics and things that really matter to the people at this time. I would highly recommend this app especially if you are interested in what's going on right now and how it affects you directly.
Cool Concept, Plagued by bias Initially, I thought an app like this was a really great idea but like everything else in the world related to politics, it's plagued with bias, primarily towards the left. You're asked to agree/disagree with statements like 1. Donald Trump is Satan 2. Bernie Sanders is God. This will go undetected by a majority of users who are probably young liberals but if you're a conservative, be warned.
Not too bad There is good and bad in the app but it's primarily good. There are some crazy folks but it's the Internet after all. They could use some navigation changes, but it's fairly intuitive for the most part.
Unclear utility. This is currently a "taking" app. Takes user opinions/data, doesn't offer much in exchange. What is the value prop for end user?
Good app This app's idea is great but it's no use for non-united states citizens. They must expand to other countries such as Brazil. I will uninstall it because there's no use for it as it stands now.
Be informed... News outlets worry about marketing more than information. This can burst information bubbles.
