Gives out email without asking
Handy way to see who is voting what way and to contact your representatives offices.
This app is exactly what I needed! Ive recently become so educated about and involved in the political world, and now I feel like Im finally keeping up without having my email flooded! The only downfall is Im a college student. So technically, I reside in two areas and I wish I could put both address into the app so I could contact and keep up to date with the Reps in both areas.
Countable is amazing! Theres just one problem: the app seems to crash upon attempting to open it on my iPad. Are any fixes in the pipeline?
This app is awesome. Great for comparing views with politicians, especially the presidential candidates. Just one minor bug then 5 stars! When Im looking at someones profile Im trying to compare with, each time I vote on an issue, when I go back to their page, it scrolls all the way back up automatically. It is just kind of annoying to have to scroll back down to keep looking at the issues. This is probably a minor fix to an awesome app. Keep it up!
This is such a great app! This app takes complex bills and policies and transforms them into easy to read bits of information so that the common person can understand whats going on in congress and our communities. I cant wait to see this app grow!
I use countable to provide my opinion on bills covering many topics directly to my Representative and Senator. I then as well pay close attention to the response provided by these elected officials. Finally I track there vote against my suggested vote, using this data to determine how closely they represent me in congress. The countable app is invaluable to me on awareness of political and congressional activity.
This app makes it so easy to contact and makes politics so digestible that it leaves no room for apathy. Get Countable, be heard.
So glad I found this app but when I voted on an issue it emailed my representatives and I didnt want that to happen. Not voting on anything until theres a way around giving your address and autocontacting representatives, which means I cant share my opinion with the countable community.
I want to make a positive difference and this application helps with that. You get to keep up to date with all the bills and what others view are. On top of seeing what the candidates do or dont vote on
I really like this app. Ive been recommending it and sharing it with my friends. Not only is the concept excellent, its very well executed. My biggest question is, how are the developers making money with this? Are they selling the polling data? I wish this information was easier for me to find.
Wish it was easier to track exactly what my representatives Are doing. Still great to see what the candidates stances are (seeing as its an election year).
A great way to be introduced to our political system and learn about the big topics in Washington.
This app is very easy to use and become aware of issues facing people today.
Every time I try to create an account or login with Facebook the app crashes. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app several times and it still crashes. Please fix this!
Solid app and I really enjoy being able to access this level of politics in such a convenient package.
This is perfect for increasing participation in our democracy. I love this app. We need more stuff like this app
So youre into signing petitions on Facebook and change.org? Get this app and put your opinions to work in a way that really matters. Elected officials put way more weight on personal emails than one-click polls that dont even track where signers are registered to vote. And this app makes it so easy! Plus you get as in-depth a primer as you want on each piece of legislation and how your senators and representatives have voted. Ive never left an app review before -- thats how much I love Countable, that I just had to rave about it. Government wont change without pressure from the people. Get involved! Get Countable! Update: ditto other comments asking for confirmation that messages have been sent to members of congress. Would also love the option to send notes after votes to express gratitude or disappointment with how elected officials voted.
I love the idea of providing a place to give feedback on government action. Now, if only we could get the people in power to pay attention to it.
