Roll Call News Reviews

Good but lacking

spacenut10100

This app does what it should, gives the articles off the website formatted better for the phone. The biggest problem is that it takes much too long to update. Compared to other apps that do the same thing, the app takes at least 3 or 4 times longer to load.

Updating???

Great stories but takes what seems like a lifetime to update every time you open the app

Poor

App doesn't update automatically and there's no apparent way to update manually. Content is good, just gets stale.

Old news is no news

It is the middle of September but all of the new stories are from August. What is the point of reading three-week old news?

LOVE THIS APP!!!

I've been waiting for this app and I love it. It's such an improvement over the old. Looks great.

Used to love this app-update has rendered it useless

The last update has resulted in articles from October showing up as the most recent articles. Used to check the app multiple times a day, but until this is fixed, it's pretty useless

Horrible update

Porfiriodiaz

All you see are articles from Oct. after the update. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it and it has not helped. The app is useless until it gets fixed.

Articles won't update

Glad to see iOS sharing extensions added, but why are the articles so old? The app seems to be stuck in October.

As dysfunction as the House

Hahaha what a joke

Good news source, amateurish app

Roll Call is a great way to track news about the U.S. Congress and other branches of federal government. But the app looks and feels like the result of a high school coding assignment. Headlines and captions are routinely truncated, with no way to get the missing text. The top story is promoted with an annoying popup that frequently contains a picture and NO text. (I have yet to see it display a complete headline.) Photos and graphics are dumped into articles without scaling, so you only see about 10% of the whole thing. This might be amusing if the app had been designed as a guessing game. But in a news app — where the unscaled images mean lots of scrolling to get to the rest of the article — it's the opposite of amusing. Stick to the website.
