New State Applications
Welcome, Georgia and Virginia
Congress In Your Pocket is proud to offer two new states: Georgia and Virginia. Both are available in iTunes now in Plus and Pro versions. We are also in development with folks in the states of Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Tennessee, and Washington. We're hiring. In addition to the remaining 39 states (we also offer California), we are looking to expand globally. Please drop us an email if you would like to be our partner where you live. |
BlackBerry Versions
 We recognize that not everyone in the world has an iPhone or even wants
one. In fact, our most-requested "feature" is that we offer a version
for the BlackBerry. Congress In Your Pocket as well as Georgia and
Virginia are available for BlackBerry users as an optimized web
application. For more info, click here.

What's with my update?
Apple is working on it; here is the fix
By far, the most common bug people report to us is that the information is not updated although they downloaded the most current version of the application. In addition, when some Pro users update the app hangs or crashes.
We submitted a report to Apple, who assure us they are working on a fix. In advance of that, we've hired a new developer to work on this issue from our side. In the meantime, if you do not see the current information, please do the following:
- Delete the application on your iPhone
- Delete the application in iTunes
- Download the application in iTunes again (don't worry, you will not pay for it twice).
- With your iPhone attached to your computer, make sure the application is checked to sync.
- Sync
Please remember that 99� and Plus versions of our applications do not provide instant updates. If you need to have the information updated all the time in your work, please consider the Pro versions, which are yearly subscriptions and far less expensive than anything we've seen in print or on any other device.

Great Reviews
"Indispensable"
 We appreciate all of the good reviews you have given us in iTunes as well as your
constructive feedback in our survey. Sometimes the toughest ones we've received have
helped us to improve.
As the app has grown over the past 6
months, we recently caught the eye of Macworld. Their take? "If you
are an activist or just and interested citizen, Congress+ is
indispensable." Here is a link to our website for more reviews.
Our
team works hard everyday to earn that high praise and hope you'll
continue to review us in the App Store and provide your thoughts on how
to improve. If you have any updates or feedback, please respond to this email and
we'll get back to you very quickly.
