Congress (v. 3.9.7.1) Разработано Sunlight Labs |
Keep on top of Congress.
* Find your representatives, see how they vote
* See what bills are coming up for a vote next
* Search for bills and votes you should know about
* Stay on top of floor activity, committee hearings
* Be notified of just about everything
Answers to common questions:
* Lawmakers don't have public email addresses.
* The app uses location only to find your local representative.
* It does not do anything on boot unless you enable notifications.
* The app cannot be moved to the SD card, because it uses background services for notifications.
This app is open source:

[2013-01-24] A Google User: Great app. :-) It's 2bad both sides SUCK! DEMS, REPUBS, SAME old CRAP!! We NEED NEW "&" IND CANDIDATES 2 REPLACE our CURRENT politicians!!! & a MUCH SMALLER GOVERNMENT. |
|
[2013-01-22] A Google User: Good but give me ability to send messages to me reps. I would like to send messages to my representatives through this app. That would allow me to close the loop. |
|
[2013-01-22] A Google User: Needs update for current Congress Also Subcommittee memberships would be very useful. |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: Perfect I am so very grateful for this app. It allows me to participate, not only observe. What would our country be if this app were preloaded on every phone? |
|
[2013-01-17] A Google User: Seein' Congress@werk...n "shite." |
|
[2013-01-16] A Google User: Great app. Thanks I love this app. Not only tell you who your representative is, it also gives you ways to contact them. It even tells you that there's no email address in the beginning so you don't feel like you're missing out. Only one question can you make one for the state level? |
|
[2013-01-16] A Google User: Sweet Govt App Has everything! A little laborious to subscribe to people, and it must always load but does so pretty quickly. Contains sooo much info. Kudos. |
|
[2013-01-14] A Google User: Excellent, above board application Allows you to look at your US Congress. Look at how they voted, look at their information and how to contact them, look at who your representatives are, look at what committees they are on and more. You can also look at each committee and see what is important to you, and you can write each of those senators and House members that seem on those committees. So so much more. A must have application for anybody that cares about this country. |
|
[2013-01-14] A Google User: Political junkies unite! Best app out there for the politically active and concerned. Consolidated and easy to use source of information. |
|
[2013-01-13] A Google User: Congress...we are watching you Welcome back representative democracy. Nice to have a clean, quick and clear way to keep our representatives accountable to the people. Every citizen needs this app. |
|
[2013-01-13] A Google User: Simply Splendid A thorough, well developed, no-nonsense app if I've ever seen one. I hardly rate apps 5 stars, but when there's not much more to add (and yet it's added anyway), it deserves as such. Everyone deserves to have an opportunity to speak with their congress members (and more). I think I'd like an app that covers some other international bodies too. |
|
[2013-01-12] A Google User: Great Concept, Elegant Design I am very impressed with this resource for engaged and informed citizenship Thank you for providing such a powerful tool. |
|
[2013-01-11] A Google User: Excellent. Just needs to..... ...Continue to be Awesome. |

|
[2013-01-09] A Google User: Call your Congresspersons NOW!! Wonderful app! It is great to be able to keep up with what happens in our government. EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD HAVE THIS APP!! |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: Like Facebook for Congress Easy to use, keeps you up to date and informed on the issues and representatives you choose to follow. If we all spent a mere fraction of the amount of time we spend on Facebook on this app, our Government would continue to be "... of the People, by the People, and for the People" |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: Great Thanks for this amazing app! |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: 5 stairs Excellent. Everything i could of ever hoped for. |
|
[2013-01-07] A Google User: Get the real information It takes some getting used to, but if you want to find out what is going on in Washington first hand instead of waiting for someone to post it on Facebook then this it's IT. |
|
[2013-01-07] A Google User: Great App Easy to keep track and see who is doing what. |
|
[2013-01-07] A Google User: Fair Not a bad program still has some problems but better than nothing. Would've given it five stars if not for the freezing up |
|
[2013-01-06] A Google User: Very well done. Works great on multiple devices Great way to keep an eye on the evil )!@5!4#@ so we can vote them out again if they don't listen again. Works great Droid Inc |
|

|
[2013-01-06] A Google User: Awesome app Awesome app |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Super I sent an email asking when the 113th Congress would be uploaded and I actually received a reply! The whole job was done in just a day and is working great. I think I want the option to "follow everyone"; but may just be my political addiction speaking. As it is, I am already following all the leaders and my locals. This app has features I did not expect and am looking forward to using. It is simply wonderful and may be *the* tool I use from now on to feed my obsession with Congress. Great Work! Everyone should have this tool! |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Gloversville, New York 12078 It works! |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Wow great job! This is a great tool i love it. Do you think you guys can develop a fantasy congress? Ive been waiting for years! |
|
[2013-01-03] A Google User: Amazing app A fantastically in-depth app, this is a must have for anyone interested in US politics. |
|
[2013-01-03] A Google User: Love it!! Had to keep my service just for this app. My only complaint! Would love a kindle version of this app helps to keep track of my politicians for me and the bills I'm interested in. This is how i stay informed without media opinions! |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: Great App Everyone should use this to track their representatives and hold them accountable for their votes in Washington. Too many elected officials go unchecked and unopposed. Get involved, this country needs you. |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: Best darn way to see our Gov in action So well designed and implemented. Perhaps the best way to keep tabs on legislation in DC as it happens. |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: Good app Who would you like to write in congress? Huh huh? Big Bro watching ya. Heh heh |
|
[2012-12-30] A Google User: Great phone app, but needs tablet version This app is fantastic on my Galaxy Nexus, but really needs to be updated to take advantage of the larger screens on tablets. As it is, I don't want to use it with my Nexus 10. |
|
[2012-12-29] A Google User: merica this app is agreed to by unanimous consent |
|
[2012-12-26] A Google User: Thank you Congress! Simply amazing for anyone of even slight interest in what is going on locally and nationally. |
|
[2012-12-25] A Google User: Great App Needs some tweaks such as displaying all the information regarding bills in app rather than browser, maybe weekly agendas . by far best app for following what is going on in our political process. |
|
[2012-12-24] A Google User: Great app Outstanding app for monitoring current congressional activity & also looking back at past bills as well. |
|
[2012-12-24] A Google User: Wow! Great for politiholics. |
|
[2012-12-23] A Google User: Excellent app. I love the amount of information provided. Just terrific. |
|
[2012-12-23] A Google User: Best app ever All apps should work and function like this one. |
|
[2012-12-22] A Google User: So easy to use! As a nonprofit advocate who walks the halls of Congress weekly, this app is quick and easy giving me all the info o could need! |
|
[2012-12-21] A Google User: Excellent The UI is well put together and the shown data is phrased so even citizens might make way through it. |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: Awesome APP !!!!!!! This is great !!! Everyone should have this app so you get the real scoop on what is really going on in our government. I strongly recommend this app !!! Les xo |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: Congress's Hidden Manual This app is for anyone with that feeling that they really should be paying attention to their elected officials but don't have the time. Just install the app, use the handy search to find your reps, and then subscribe to alerts on their activities. Now their actions come to you in an easy to read and understand form! When you want to communicate your pride or displeasure with your reps' actions, the app gives you quick access to your representatives' phone numbers and web sites. This is a powerful tool for democracy. |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: Get if You Enjoy Politics I use this to keep track of our elected officials. |
|
[2012-12-15] A Google User: The top of the line, donate people!!!!! If there is a government (like some think there needs to be) it needs to be regulated by the people This app is a step back in the direction of liberty and power to the people!!! |
|
[2012-12-13] A Google User: IMPRESSED!!!!! |
|
[2012-12-11] A Google User: Good Keeps you updated great app |
|
[2012-12-10] A Google User: Very useful It's like a front row seat to a train wreck. Honestly, a great app. |
|
[2012-12-09] A Google User: Great For those who want to know what is going on in Congress, this is a must have app! |
|
[2012-12-09] A Google User: Hill Staffer Great for a quick reference when out of the office |
|
[2012-12-08] A Google User: Congress Pretty cool app.tells you just about everything you need to know about these scumbags.. |
|
[2012-12-03] A Google User: I need to know now This a good app. if you need to know what is going around in the gov. |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Great resource for staying informed! Great job on the app. There is plenty of information to sort through, but it is all organized well. |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Excellent app for a complicated process To understand the ways of the government may seem daunting and somewhat impossible, however such an understanding can slowly achieve by keeping track of your reps and how they are voting on various issues. This app does such a good job of putting all that information right in your mobile device, and sorted/displayed in a digestible manner. Since most of us don't have time to watch C-SPAN, the Congress app keeps us informed. It is free, but I highly recommend that you donate some amount. They've been doing this for at least a couple of years, and frankly are doing a fantastic job. Keep it up! |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Awesome Only better if I could send emails to my reps through this app. Otherwise excellent job! |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Excellent After a lackluster showing early on, this offering has evolved into an easy-to-use, strangely friendly app. |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Great app Very nice and clean layout. |
|
[2012-11-29] A Google User: Well done! Exactly what I was looking for to keep up, in-depth, with the house and senate, as well as my representatives. |
|
[2012-11-28] A Google User: Great Thank you |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: Amazing Keeps me wonky! |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: Wow, flawless This app is phenomenal. An incredible way to stay informed about the government and your lawmakers. |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: Cool. |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: Satisfied This is one of the most useful apps I've ever run. The UI is intuitive and clean. While also maintaining a multitude of features aimed at making it simple to stay informed about our legislature. |
|
[2012-11-25] A Google User: Very refreshing design... |
|
[2012-11-24] A Google User: This is the perfect app for anyone interested congress. I am a senior director for a large lobbying organization. This app is excellent. Great job. |
|
[2012-11-24] A Google User: Works good. Now if we could get Congress to work as well we'd have something. |
|
[2012-11-23] A Google User: Great app, minor bugs Great app to keep an eye on which reps vote for what, and ultimately who votes like they said they would. It's great that it has the contact information compiled for every rep too. It does have a few bugs, and likes to crash while viewing votes, but this doesn't happen to me very often. Overall, a very nice app to have, especially at the great price of free |
|
[2012-11-23] A Google User: Excellent Great app |
|
[2012-11-21] A Google User: Great app For those who work in DC, this replaces the Congressional book. Thank you! |

|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: Awesome app! This app is perfect for the people who want to let their opinion be known & also informs at the same time. Easy to use & navigate, as well as supper small! |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: Not up to date Isn't updated for redistricting in Tn. |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: Must have app for congressional affairs Very stable and useful. I use it daily. |
|
[2012-11-14] A Google User: Outstanding I have become more and more pessimistic and lethargic about our government. Because of this, sad to say, I forced myself into ignorance. I found this app a week ago and I love it. It keeps me updated in near-real time, and makes me want to know more and get active. Extremely worthwile. |
|
[2012-11-13] A Google User: Great Love this app |
|
[2012-11-13] A Google User: Not muddied with opinions, delivers real information I've been apolitical until recently. People keep expelling their political gas in my elevator so I can't avoid political discussions. This app helps me keep up with what congress is doing. |

|
[2012-11-07] A Google User: Amazing content This is for the American citizen who wants to stay informed without the bias, agenda driven news broadcasters of today. Just amazing. |
|
[2012-11-06] A Google User: Excellent No complaints. |
|
[2012-11-04] A Google User: Surperb interface, a model for information sharing |
|
[2012-10-31] A Google User: EXCELLENT I absolutely love this app. It's easy to use and very resourceful. I can keep up with how my congressman votes and what bills have been introduced. This is great for a political junkie like me. ;-) |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: Install now Best app. |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: Great Would be better if it had election information like who's up against who, that way we can compare voting records to decide who gets our vote. |

|
[2012-10-18] A Google User: Great App for everyone This app works great and should be a requirement to vote :-) It pulls back the covers and shows that everybody is naked. |
