Works great
Simple but effective resource app
Reps beware :D
This is a crazy good app. A must for anyone remotely into politics. Tons of info, indispensable for a political junkie like me
Very, very awesome
Superb app! A must for any US citizen who cares about what our Congress is doing (to or for us!). Developer needs to update app, though, so Yahoo News API resumes news feed for each member of Congress. [UPDATE: Developer is working on the "news feed" issue.]
Too slow to be of any real use.
Solid app
Now I keep getting error "there was problem loading news feed". Can the developer care to help?
Interesting to know these things.
Very, very awesome
Ok, now how to make them work...app for that?
I love this application. It brings government to you
Great app! A favorites list would be a nice add though.
This is a wonderful resource! Thank you.
Now I can rip my Reps a new one at a moment's notice. It's like a newfound power right at my fingertips. This must be what it feels like to have super-natural power.
Would be nice to find rep too
What an awesome idea.
Pretty awesome app! Thanks for this wonderful program, which runs great on my Samsung Focus! 5 Stars!

Great for keeping up with your legislators
Now add state and local and it is perfect!
Uninstalling
Nice App. Minor shortfall.
It'd earn one more star if it could determine my representatives by using my home address instead of my location. This is a mobile app. I might need my representatives information when I am outside my district.
good app
looks good, works good, well done! Good job dev! request to dev: C-span integration would be great. But the app is good as it stands, thank you.
Free, works consistently a must have for those keeping an eye on our duly elected crooks, charlatans and demagogues.
Doesn't work
A good app which makes finding information about legislatures easy.
It's a great tool to keep an eye on politicians. Like having their office on speed dial really.
A great start.
Amazing app! Also glad that its free! Every American needs to have this installed on their device at all time.
Neat app but ability to save a set of districts/locations would make it much more useful. Think politics hub.
Great App. It makes it easy to follow your representatives, and get informed on your regional politics.
:-), Cool. You can find all of them.
Nice quick access to you representatives contact information and news page. Committee information is missing, but not a big deal for me.
Well done.
Would love to see more integrated data, but great app that gets you the info you need.
Great app easy to use. I found my reps by my location in 5 seconds
So far it has been great. Waiting to see if it updates the new reps.
Nice, but I wish the links listed in the tweet section were actual hot links.
It would be significantly better if it had a search engine to filter the congressmen
Useful
Alright app but I expected more info without having to be linked a website.
Tools indeed!
So fitting that an app listing the names of our elected "representatives" is categorizied under "Tools."
A very well designed and useful app.
Love it.
Love this app, it has a higher approval rating with me than Congress itself. :-)
Love this!! Never been easier to contact and track your representatives. Responsive and pleasing UI as well.
Awesome.
Simple and elegant app.
Great app for having their contacts right at hand.
Very nice. Easy to use and extremely helpful.
Nice app that does what it's supposed to. Highly recommend.
Awesome app for holding your congressmen accountable... A MUST download app.

Good app but I found the open Congress page wasn't too friendly with the WP7 browser.
Great app for having their contacts right at hand.
Amazing, everyone should be this in touch with what their elected officials are doing
Very cool app
As a political science major, I find this app to be interesting, attractive, and useful. I especially appreciate that it pulls up committee assignments! It doesn't have all of my congressmen listed, though (RI). This might just be due to our past election though, so I won't dock points for it.
Easy to use, easy to watch those dirty pols
Great idea for an app.
Awesome app. Gives you up-to-date data on your reps. @mtkupp51...maybe cuz you're new reps don't take office until Jan, like every rep in the USA.
Reps beware :D
Nice info and easy to navigate.
Nice app
Simple but effective resource app
Great application! Found all the correct details for every rep/district I tried. A must have app for political buffs and voters!
Out of date data
Nice interface. It's still listing representatives that were not reelected in my state in the last election. I'm not sure where they are pulling the data from. I'l give it some time to see how long it takes to get current
Fantastic!
Very well done, and useful too! I never would have known where to find all that information - it's great being able to pull it all up so easily. Very nice.
Great app, can't wait to call one of these guys!
nice app
make sure you enter this into the microsoft public sector / federal wp7 apps contest. bing "devfish federal windows phone contest" for info on it if you haven't found it yet.
Great, timely, app!
This app not only looks great but does precisely what it says it does...and very well! It will find all of your congresscritters based on your current location or other critiera, show their tweets and take you to any videos of them making promises they won't keep.
Cool idea. Seems useful if you need information on your senators and representatives
Nice app
I liked this app. I love the video integration. I also like the sites you can link off to see things like how often they vote in lockstep or break with their part. Useful information in trying to figure out if they deserve another shot. . . generally, I say throw them out, but that's just me. This app gave me more information to be able to help convince others to throw the B@#$#@ out.
