INTRODUCING THE 113TH CONGRESS!

*** Note: Access to the new Congress requires you to "unlock" it with a 99¢ in-app purchase. The application is on-sale to accommodate this additional cost for new users. If you already bought the update, restore it in More -> Upgrades. ***

If you have a problem with the update, please delete the app and reinstall it. You can also email us directly at update@congressinyourpocket.com. We respond to every single one. Bad reviews don't help you get your app working. We will.

FEATURED IN iTUNES "CAMPAIGN 2012: TAKE ACTION"

No matter which party you support, you can have every member of Congress in YOUR pocket or on your iPad. Use the app that tens of thousands of people who work on the Hill and with Congress everyday, as well as their constituents have on their iPhones and iPads.

This application offers all of the vital information you need to be an active and informed citizen between elections. Learn all about who represents you in Congress, contact them in Washington, follow their campaigns and challengers, read their Facebook and Twitter pages, and see their YouTube videos. Share any link in the application via email, Facebook, or Twitter.

While this app will be enough for most people, if you need over-the-air updates, separate sections for lists of committees and subcommittees, and well as the ability to share notes with your team, please consider our app CongressPro in the App Store. Congress+ is updated every few months, usually with new content, during the 2013-14 sessions.

Remember, they work on Capitol Hill but they work for you.
