isPermaLink="false">http://www.appcraver.com/?p=3732#comment-822</guid> <description>Just a quick update to your readers, we have submitted Congress 1.1 (1.0 is in the App Store now), Congress+ 1.1, and Congress Pro 1.0 to Apple today.  We anticipate, based on our experience, that they will be live in the App Store late next week.Most importantly, in light of the above review and customer feedback, we fixed the issue with tapping on links and leaving the application for Safari.  All links now open within the application itself, which we agree is a far better experience.Each of these three applications also adds links to THOMAS.loc.gov (for legislative tracking), OpenSecrets.org (for campaign finance), and FactCheck.org (for checking the veracity of campaign statements).  These are located in the More section.The Plus and Pro versions also add the specific 110th Congress THOMAS.loc.gov link on each member&#039;s page.  All three also have 2008 campaign links to all members districts so you can see what the incumbent and challenger has raised.We hope you consider these improvements when you are thinking about our offerings and appreciate your support.AppCraver, we hope that these improvements might nudge your rating even higher.;)Best regards,
Michael D. Cohen, Ph.D.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.appcraver.com/?p=3732#comment-595</guid> <description>Anna, thanks for your thorough review.  I enjoyed talking with you today and taking time to ask good questions.  Needless to say, we appreciate the positive rating.Delano, thanks for your comments about the price.  We believe this version of the application compares nicely to the spiral notebook one on-sale in bookstores and online (http://www.thecapitol.net/Publications/congdirectory.html).  Ours is updated once a year, free for two years.  $9.99 vs. over $35 (plus tax) is a pretty good deal in our humble opinion.  And, of course, it&#039;s all right there on our favorite device.I do hope that folks will respond positively in general (not just to our application) so we all get to purchase less flashlights and more useful applications.  We see that users are willing to pay for well-designed applications at that price point.  We hope that ours fits that model in your eyes.Adam and Tyler, yes we couldn&#039;t agree more with you on the UI.  It&#039;s odd but our development team says that Safari links can launch within the &quot;More&quot; tab but not inside the app (e.g. Senator&#039;s website, challenger&#039;s website, etc.).  Our hope is that we can thread that needle because we find it annoying as well.If you have any questions, please feel free to email our team at info at congressinyourpocket.com.  Address it to me and I&#039;ll answer your email.Thanks again for the review and your comments.Michael D. Cohen, Ph.D.
