It's an AMAZING idea, with great overall goal, and used to be my go to political app to see exactly what was happening with EACH Rep. However, it DESPERATELY needs an update- as many of the Reps have been replaced, etc What good is an outdated political app meant to look in depth at reps and ongoing issues if it's outdated? History???

Almost there, there needs to be a clearer way to understand the content than a thumbs up/down system (specifically when considering the news articles.) I still have no idea what it means nor do I think does anybody else. Once a solution has been reached, the quality of the app will be that much better.

Should remove the on touch blink interaction.... When you scroll over profiles and news posts it is kinda annoying and distracting Other than it is a good informative app Still need to look at it a bit Oh yeah you don't get direct feedback when you follow a legistrator from the overview page...

Interesting but the notifications never open to the article they reference and voting is weird, a) sometimes clicks don't even register and b) it isn't clear what it means. "thumbs up" to some news story might mean, "yes, I agree," but if it's an article like, "100,000 dead from coronavirus" the voting doesn't really mean anything. We're supposed to vote on facts? It's a cool democratic concept but needs to be rethought.

Needs more work. Their ad said if I downloaded the app I would be well informed about my local politics. It failed to show me anything about my local politics/politicians. This app is nothing more than a 'general politics' news feed.

Amazing way to get a quick summary of what's going on in politics in an unbiased way. Isn't that what news should all be? Since it isn't I'll stick with the app!
