Ratings and reviews

I've used Congress Pro for almost a year. I can honestly say that I use it every day. Yes that includes weekends. It's an invaluable resource on my phone that saves me a lot of time by not having to go to various other resources for the information I need. With what is going on in our country today, this is a tool everybody needs to have! The app is priced so that just about anybody can purchase it and get regular updates. Try it out. You will not be sorry!

Legislation page is just a redirect to Congress.gov. News is just a news feed from Politico and Politico Playbook. They want $0.99/mo. for updates; otherwise, the app appears to go out of date, eventually. Save your $10.00. They don't appear to do much for your money.

I had an issue with the app and the app developer contacted me and fix me up. I've never experienced this type of customer service on any app! Kudos
