I have this app for my G1, its fantastic. I’d really love to see an app like this for a windows mobile (Smartphone), with the same functionality. Keep up the good work!
Just downloaded and installed on my EVO 4G. Very nice app so far. Great way to keep up with Congress while on the go.
The Android App is awesome! I found it by chance just digging through your site. You should consider advertising the app on the main page with a barcode link (that’s what app people like). I’ll use the Android App all the time now. Love it!
