Great App

This app is so convenient, organized well and is kept up to date. When I send an update it is responded to quickly.

Great app, well designed layout, efficient, sufficient, and accessible with voiceover

This app is indispensable for me. I use it for member info, and committee lists. Of course The basics like a brief biography and bill sponsor and cosponsor information is also available. It has enough detail to be useful, and it is very efficiently designed which is very useful when you need information fast. What makes the app stand out is the technical and information support. Michael Cohen has always responded immediately to any requests or corrections that I have offered. I don’t know of many other apps that I use that have support that is so quick and responsive. And for those who care about accessibility, it works very well with voiceover.

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much — you rock. I remember when a someone asked us about voiceover about 10 years ago. We just want to make sure that everyone has access to this information and it’s great to see you find it so helpful. I answer every single email because I respect everyone who buys this app and we learn so much from our users. - MC

117th update problems

Fantastic app, thank you to the tram who built it. Sadly, when I click “update” in the App Store or on my subscription page or inside the app, it won’t update to the 117th Congress. In the app, updating does nothing, other than to tell me my subscription will renew a month from now. In the App Store, clicking “update” appears to download something quickly, then starts over, the second tome downloading a larger file. The update repeatedly stops at about 60%. App Store app stops the download and the button reverts to “update”. What do we need to do to update to the new Congress?

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the awesome review. Let me try to help. I’m Mike and I own the company. I have answered every review and email since we launched 12 years ago with the first iPhone.

You appear to have downloaded the wrong app. This is for groups and subscriptions are on a different app. Try deleting what you have now and reinstalling CongressPro.

From there, when prompted, tap on Restore (or do that in More) and your subscription should unlock the current Congress until your subscription expires.

If you have any questions email us at updates@congressinyourpocket.com. I’ll make sure you’re set.

Thanks again!
