I was looking forward to using this but it flat out doesn t work You get to the home screen and none of the buttons work then the app crashes     Just doesn t work Kbarnjak
Seems like a scam it never opened shut my phone down Seemed sketchy     Never worked 1/2 star..?!'sk):729ÂŁ~!
Crashes and locks IPad up I have uninstalled and re installed but the issue remains Congress probably paid 2 billion for it     App does not work BP in CC
This app won t work in the future It hasn t been updated since 2012 Please at least recompile into 64 bit     32 bit app NEF - Enemy of the State
Ja 11 2017 Today each time I attempted to open the app it would NOT I uninstalled and reinstalled then tried again without success Two months ago no problem but today I am disappointed and give it one star     This app has started giving me trouble i love this song it is cool
Might be ok if it would work Installed via App Store on iPad Air running latest iOS     App will not work Gh1949
I downloaded the app from the iTunes store and have been unable to open or utilize the app at all     Not Happy Tellecheac
Immediately crashes     Nonfunctional IM Pangs
Please fix Doesn t work have deleted and reloaded many times Gray screen with photo Then app closes Please fix The people are counting on you to fix this soon     Nothing there Keeps crashing Inspector generalette
I used to love this app but it just crashes now         Won t Open Tatiana25
It s easier to go on congress gov and access the congressional record from there First the app is not optimized for iPhone 5 layout Second the record itself was actually blurry For some reason retina display support is nonexistent Overall 2 stars is generous for this barely functional app         Works but not usable JesseG17
Only goes back to 1993 If you want to reference any earlier records say the 25th congress you re out of luck here There is no point to having this app if I have to use my desktop or laptop to look up earlier sessions May as well start there and use the megs on my iPad for something else     Incomplete streamanic2012
Excellent public service however the very useful search function unfortunately causes the application to crash very often It is too much hassle to skim read entire issues this bug needs to be addressed Please pay your engineers more they do great work This app helps people in public and private do good for the public                 Excellent but flawed DDIIIesq
App will not open in iPad Air 2     Does not work Alaskan818181
While I love the idea of an app that will provide me with access to the Record and while I would love to write a sterling review the fact that after three downloads the app won t open after an E mail to the developer after finding out that the Congressional Record is FREE on line I m compelled to stay mute about an app I have been unable to open     Won t even open Lajoiephoto
I have had the ap for awhile and looked ar it from time to time Now it will not open I have deleted it and reloaded it with no success in it opening     What happened Cfeman
Other than that it does the job             Needs iPhone 6 support Deamonkai
Misleading app description unable to browse Congressional Records back to January 4 1995 Great concept and layout but only posts current Congressional Records of the Day App presents options to email in pdf format or open in Safari subsequently open in other formats to include Adobe Reader Must first fix the problems with accessing the historical files or records before the users can view in the different media or formats     No Historical Congressional Records to Browse WithBenefits
Great app Easy to understand and use David Lorea Farrington                     Great app Easy to understand and use David Lorea Farrington
I like the layout Being Able read what goes on in Congress on a daily basis is really helpful But whenever I try to search for a specific bill to read the exact wording the search box accepts the first letter and the app quits upon the second letter entry Total frustration     Nice to read who says what to whom But forget trying to search for the text of a specific bill wolfhouse21
I was very excited but now disappointed that every search causes the app to crash when you enter the second letter of your search term Please fix     Search causes crash Want to search
So the app was working this morning and now it says nothing is available for days I was just reading Is this app really connected to the government thus once the government shuts down the app does too Well that s annoying     Government Shutdown app unavailable daelitesmom
Crashes have to delete and reinstall love it otherwise although a summary of bills would be great Can u fix                 Congressional record Khlilac
Have to reinstall app weekly     Crashes Tsimshian81
What a great way to inform the public and continue participation in democracy                     Best Use of Tax Money Yet PeterJohn411
This should be on everyone s iPhone At least every American s iPhone This is a perfect tool for understanding the proceedings of our government I cannot wait for the app to be updated for the iPhone 5 s screen                     Among the Top 10 Apps to own Krawko
I thought congress was in on jan 1st No         Where is jan 1st summary Long words
This is apparently just scanned pages of the record itself two columns and fancy fonts included A pain to read on a phone How about converting into a format which is readable on a phone One column high search functionality and easy to read without having to scroll back and forth An extra star for using to rotation function which even the App Store ignores         Not mobile friendly Otherlleft
Doesn t work     Crashes CIT Cowboy
This app works well for me so far and I haven t had any problems It loads quickly and displays the scanned copy of the Congressional Record well I m looking forward to seeing it updated for the iPhone 5 s screen I also think it would fit in better as a Newsstand app I think I would read it more regularly if it were just downloaded there every morning with my newspapers Other than that I really like it and I m glad the LOC decided to go digital with this                 Great start kittycat262728
It s nice to stay out of the dark and see what issues our being viewed                     Great to know what s going on Why I love America!
Valuable info Yes please make the print bigger                     Nice baechter
I waited with anticipation for this app because I needed this for legal research but I am disappointed in this app First how about improving Voice Over accessibility Next the archives only go back to 1995 Next the interface is sloppy and unprofessional We expect a better legal research app than this     Need this for legal research Don t bother EsotericQuality
A great idea would love to use this app But for all practical intents and purposes the text is not legible Very tiny and blurry on my iPhone 4S Yes it can be zoomed but all the panning and dragging gets to be a pain if you actually want to read anything     Not Legible Bengeance
So you want to do due diligence and find what Bill HR 4078 is about Don t look here At least don t plan on finding it easily A simple search for HR 4078 yields nothing Epic fail         Find the scoop on the latest Bills Laquidara
This is a handy tool for anyone wanting to keep up with what s going on in Congress However on the iPhone 4 it s hard to read anything I have decent eyesight but without zooming in A LOT everything is blurry Visual needs some more work             Good Resource But Visual Needs Work StormeSixx
Will the idiotic Rethug trolls shut the F k up Like Tired player 2 We are tired of your asinine rants GOP POS Go OBAMA Great app by the way                     Stupid reviews from trolls nanteos1
Have allowed such a tool and outlet of raw information into the publics hand This info can still be acquired theough your home pc now but the difference in numbers of people that would take the time to goto the site and read up compared to having this direct pipeline is probably 100 to 1 or higher Either they had no control or the PTB simply don t care because in their minds we the public won t do anything if we see a wrong happen An example would be the birth certificate and knowledge that our president is not a natural born citizen and yet nobody has done anything                     I m totally shocked that the PowersThatBe Tired player #2
Absolutely perfect for us political junkies as well as for ANY citizen who just wants to take an occasional look at what those clowns we elected to office are up to                     Love it joy314
For anyone that s into politics this is a great app For anyone that wants to see how much time is wasted by our politicians this is great app Be warned though lots of information to read even the Daily Digest                     GREAT APP JulioB
Decent app Wonder how many hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money is took to develop the app             At what cost mr_matalino
Needs more detsils     Ok Bobhffjhrjf
The more people are watched the better they behave Tell your smart friends to load it and get informed                 A good start graphics need work JodyGo
It s always fitting to know what those filthy lying stealing crooks are up to in the district of criminals DC                     Good way to keep up with the criminals oSt0mP3Ro
Won t be using it daily but it s a must have if you re interested in the details of certain bills before congress                 Nice resource Benjamin VanderWerp
When the app is used with the voiceover screen reader the buttons an interface elements read fine but the text does not read it all It s as though it does not exist This makes the app perfectly useless for a blind person as they cannot read the Congressional record I am sad to see that the Library of Congress the home of the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped is producing an inaccessible app Blind citizens have just as much of a right to know what their Congress is doing and I fear that you have failed them I hope you fix this soon     Inaccessible app atraveler
Better connectedness more transparency                     The Future Symphoniq

Very informative but without retina text it looks awful and is not very compelling        Retina graphics look awful
