Most of the customers I work with are in either state or local government and this helps me to stay in the loop in terms of issues which are important to the elected officials who are responsible for funding the agencies I work with. I would love it if I could export an item here or there for use in say, an email or document, but I would give this app a 10 out of 10. Great job!

You are right - as I said in the review the search function is excellent. I think this is an app to keep an eye on and see how the developer continues to improve it.

I don't have to peruse through zillions of articles (or search results, for that matter!) to know where H. Clinton is in the race to Sec. of State or what point we're at in the Health care reforms ... Also, I love that I can save the guys/gals I'm interested in and check the titles quickly BUT save the article for reading later, when I have time.This app is a real help for me and makes me feel good about "keeping posted" about what's going on. It's almost like I have an assistant who "digests" the news for me and give me only the essential! :-)For the record, I haven't had the "broken link" problem you are talking about, but I guess it would depend on the site it goes to. Funny how you say this app would/could only appeal to ” the true political news addicts” … because I love this app and I am everything BUT a political news freak :-)

This app is a real help for me and makes me feel good about “keeping posted” about what’s going on. It’s almost like I have an assistant who “digests” the news for me and give me only the essential! :-)

For the record, I haven’t had the “broken link” problem you are talking about, but I guess it would depend on the site it goes to.

You are right about the current lack of social networking tools. We are working on a version of the app that will incorporate social networking, as well as push notifications and other features. There are more features planned for this version as well. As for some of the links not working, we agree that it is annoying that some web sites will not load properly, which is why we included an "Open in Safari" option.We're very pleased you found the search to be quite good - this is the real power of the app, along with the ability to cross-search (or group) the results into topics. These features are real time-savers for those who relish this type of news.Just to clarify: the $.99 version of the app, called "politicoTracker Twitter Edition" shows tweets only, not news results. Tweets are freely available, which helps explain the price disparity, although compiling a complete list of twittering politicians is a bit of a challenge.Thanks again for your excellent review. We enjoy making these apps, and we're looking at more topics we can apply the base search technology to, for future apps. Feedback and suggestions are welcome!!http://politicoTracker.com http://twitter.com/_pTracker Derek, thank you for reviewing our apps. You are right about the current lack of social networking tools.
