Causes - Impact Your World for Negative User Reviews

✓ Started good, not so great nowWhen I first signed up for this app, it seemed as if someone got it right for once. My feed was objective, fair, and balanced. Once Trump got elected, it turned into a Huffington Pat style ad; biased opinions, articles, and overall left leaning trajectory. Democratic socialism?! Are you kidding me? Even those so-called ‘democratic socialist’ countries have denied being that. The app functions very well and does an overall great job at it’s technical duties: updates, frequency of news, discussions, etc. However, it’s bias and its lack of objectivity are seriously off putting..Erick AnguloVersion: 4.3.1

✓ This App has a Lot of Potential to be Really GreatI love the idea of this app. It provides a very convenient way to see and interact with the latest political news and issues. What ruins the app for me is that everything is politically biased. Most of the news seems to be politically slanted, and the comments from users are predictable because they are just bunch of people reciting established political party views. I want to learn about unbiased political news and I want to hear novel opinions from diverse groups of people. My favorite political opinions are ones that really make you think because they don’t fit into a specific political party’s structure, but you won’t won’t find many opinions like that through this app..LeeCheneyVersion: 5.1

✓ Good app, bad design for iPadI love using this app, it gives good information and keeps you up to date with issues that are important to you. I am forced to give this app three starts though for the lack of response from the design team to address a very simple issue: horizontal view for an iPad. I mention this as it is incredible hard to write good responses in a timely manner when you have to depend on a digital keyboard on a small phone screen. I know it is possible, but seriously, it is a lot easier when you have a cover with a keyboard for your iPad to write these responses. What amazes me most is that this app still does not have that feature, as it is a common feature on most apps these days, and this one has been around awhile. Please upgrade your app so that I can use it in earnest. That is the only thing really holding me back from consistent, well written feedback for my legislators using this app..Dbcarr26Version: 4.2

✓ GoodI’ve really enjoyed this app in the few months I’ve been using it. It’s so educational, inspiring and fascinating learning about the bills and processes. In addition, I love the opportunity to read the opinions of other people, those I agree with and those with very different views, too. However, in the past few weeks I’ve noticed the app becoming very “glitchy.” More and more, I can’t see posts made by my followers despite receiving notifications that posts have been made. “Nothing to see” under profiles of prolific posters? Please fix that. It almost feels like an attempt to silence support if you can’t see and upvote opinions. If it continues into next week, I’ll likely stop using this app. Integrity is important to me..SmashingSpheresVersion: 5.0.1

✓ Another liberal pout festI will give it to them at least they try and make it look like they’re not a bunch of liberals. They have about 1 out of 10 topics that could almost be construed as right leaning. They do have some counter points to most arguments but some are so ridiculous as to make right thinking people out to be monsters. Like we want to lock up all children and rip them from their mothers arms. About 75% of comments are made by the crying liberals that still haven’t gotten over the 2016 loss that they experienced. They are still heartbroken because of the reports that countable keeps posting making it look like President Trump is through are thwarted time and time again. It’s kind of refreshing seeing all of the comments of the left after they experience another loss..Jake j85602Version: 5.1

✓ Needs more than a “like” optionThe app is mostly good as far as I can see from using it for about three weeks. We all know politics is a sensitive topic and I just can’t read some of the ridiculous comments and have no way to rebuttal. The only way I see myself using the app in the future is if things change to something like reddit with a ⬆️or ⬇️ choice. A less acceptable option would being able to rebut a response. The latter only leads to endless unintelligent bickering back and forth. The app has good information to ponder and is informative. I haven’t found any bugs or glitches. The interface appearance is easy on the eyes and functional..GFelterVersion: 4.2.1

✓ IPhone SE support is lackingLots of in-app things render poorly on the iPhone SE—so poorly that I had to force-quit to get out of them (because the “cancel” button was outside the non-scrollable viewport) Also, the bills presented are littered with “junk bills” that have no chance of passing, that are redundant to existing law, and/or that are introduced purely for symbolic/political posturing. I wish there were a way to filter based on “actually might affect public policy” (vs. “rant magnet” or “introduced so that in my next fundraising letter I can say I’m doing something”). Otherwise, I have to spend time determining what to actually pay attention to (an effort which I was hoping this app would reduce)..JhfrontzVersion: 5.1

✓ Very left leaningGood: knowing the Bills and Laws as well as other information as to what’s happening on the hill, knowing who represents you, how they’re voting and being able to communicate with them, plus very timely notice when a new bill is submitted and your Reps votes cast. Easy to understand format and love the edit button to clean up your post as necessary. Last but not least is the free speech platform allowed when commenting. Bad: can’t respond to others comments directly and there is a LOT of disinformation and misinformation by the uninformed and trolls. Additionally many of the topics are clearly biased in their headlines and content. The polls more than reflect it to ridiculous degree. Remove the partisanship, the hate and the bias and thus site will explode with new subscribers..Nacho mammyVersion: 5.1

✓ Countable Staff Writes Loaded HeadlinesApp is fine except for the staff who run the headlines load it with every single conservative hack position and headline. For an app that tries to present itself as unbiased, it’s clear that the staff editorializes headlines and poses questions with a conservative slant. They don’t have any standard for running headlines with questions posed by hack politicians that are irrelevant. Functionally the app got worse, and made it harder to do what they had set out to do; become more informed and engaged with the current political situation. So instead they editorialize the headlines to wedge the user base. And to those who complain that the users are too liberal, I found that the user base does accurately reflect the general population..Atomos128Version: 5.5

✓ Another Democrat ToolI thought this was actually aimed at getting people “involved” in politics. I should have known when it said “as featured” on MSNBC and the NYTimes, that it’s aimed at getting people to move to the left. Mob rule at it’s finest. Don’t suggest this app is meant to benefit me. It’s not. It’s designed to benefit the liberal agenda by skewing and manipulating information. Leading questions, biased questions, a “like” system that benefits the majority opinion which is usually a liberal opinion...you just make it easier for liberals to get involved and affect government. Countable is based out of San Francisco. Trying to imply you’re goal is benefit all citizens through information and then doing what you’ve done instead is disgusting..DSnideVersion: 5.0.1

✓ Major problemWhat do you do if your congressional district has changed since you initiated your account? Apparently nothing so you’re stuck receiving notifications on politicians who do not represent you. When I first downloaded the app I lived in PA District 2. Then a court ruled (correctly) that my state was unfairly gerrymandered and ordered that it be redistricted. Now I live in District 4 as of January 3, 2019 even though I did not move. But the app still thinks I live in District 2 and no way to change it seems to exist. Really, it’s a dumb way to design an app. I know not everybody’s district changes but a lot do because of court decisions or just standard redistricting. And what if I had simply moved? How would I change my settings? Maybe I’m missing something but it should not be a complicated adjustment to make. I sent an email to the developers but I got an automated response saying I might not get a response because of the high volume of emails they receive. Great idea for an app hampered by this design flaw..RuthieDubbVersion: 5.0.1

✓ A good startI have long wished I had the ability to develop apps because I have felt that a social network for political action would be a great idea. This app is a good start forwards that goal. I like that comments can be endorsed but don’t degenerate into back and forth trolling. I like that the app gives background in bills before Congress and allows users to notify there reps how the would like them to vote and provide messages. What I feel it lacks and would greatly like to see added is a report card. I would like to get feedback of how my reps voted on the different bills and alerts when they voted opposite of my wishes. I would also like to see the vote tallies be broken down for my state and district rather then just all users. I am really enjoying using it so far but only gave it three stars because it hasn’t reached its potential yet..Skol74Version: 5.1

✓ Good Idea but Spreads MisinformationI’ve been using this app for a few years now and it used to be much better when it was focused more on upcoming legislation and offering a platform really focused on communicating your opinion to your reps. However, once they started putting out articles more related to what’s in the news and not what’s in Congress they have failed to adequately screen for misinformation. They are too susceptible to the both sides false equivalency and it feels more like a contribution to an alarmist circus-like political environment and less like actual political engagement. I’m going to look for a better platform for a way to communicate with my reps about issues..Becca8753902Version: 5.3

✓ Some good - some not so goodThis app is kind of like Facebook for the political crowd. It lets you see the federal legislature in “action” - unfortunately there’s no links to the bills, only a brief synopsis of the bill with a statement from the sponsor and opposition (usually a tweet from both) It also allows you to message your representative and senators. It also allows for calling them. Unfortunately many of the users don’t realize (or care) that the messages they are posting go to their reps and just use it as if they are on Facebook trying to shame others into believing their rants. Finally, it’s somewhat buggy- looking at the “details” of a bill rarely works the way it should, instead it drops you into the comments area and you have scroll back up, it frequently closes the details area for no apparent reason, when posting a message, things like editing are difficult and there’s no way to make a new paragraph..RrjunkmailVersion: 4.2.4

✓ An empowering tool with a disempowering formatI just began using an older version of countable I downloaded a year ago and loved it! It was feature rich and I had total control of my experience! I could look through bills or news or stalk my legislators. In the latest update they severely dumbed down the app, mashing all these features into an unspecified mix that I have no control over. Now I feel like my time is not well spent on the app, similar to reading Facebook newsfeed. Before countable was a one-stop tap for citizen empowerment. Now I feel like a consumer more than a participant..JayznzjdjdVersion: 4.2.4

✓ Not Completely UnusableThis app is going through what seems like multiple identity crises. Not only the name change, but the entire formatting and content of the app. Countable was hard to navigate but clearly made for mobile and at least somewhat intuitive. This new thing, Causes, is neat but I have no idea what is going on. Idk what content it's even trying to serve anymore, it does not seem like it cares about bills as much as whatever the latest political news is. The app is super hard to navigate and is very unintuitive in its design; nothing makes sense. It's formatted all weird like it's some mobile/desktop hybrid webpage and is janky. What on earth happened here? If this was the official Causes update it is half-baked and needed another year or two in development. Why bother sending out emails? I can't get anything done on the app so fix that before you tell me what new shenanigans and tomfoolery our politicians are up to again..AdhobvftivdeubdeivceVersion: 5.7

✓ Lead by LiberalsIf you want to move in with the liberals and share ideas, download this app. The staff responsible for this app couch their introduction of topics in the same manner as the mainstream media. There is a significant liberal bias. Go to the developers web site and you’ll find they are made up of the following: journalist, former president of several colleges, lackey from the Clinton White House, a former Democratic Senator, the technology coordinator during Howard Dean’s run for President, and other liberals. I am not the only one who used this app and ultimately deleted it because of the liberal bias. It’s a shame this app and its data are not run by a neutral entity. The concept is an excellent one, but the liberals are using it to push their agenda, which is the same as 0bama; ruin the USA..BaubRVersion: 4.1

✓ Some Pros, Some Cons...First, I like Countable because it is an easy way to keep track of the legislation currently being acted upon in our government. Recently, Countable changed my ‘Representative’ based on who knows what information, and it is incorrect. I have double-checked my address and profile information, but Countable apparently wants to put me in a different legislative district (please not it was changed after the new session and was correct, and then changed again and is incorrect). I am guessing this is an algorithmic glitch? I love the summaries of the arguments for yay or nay, but I wish some folk would read them (ie I note people ‘vote’ the wrong way on the website/app based on their commentary). Perhaps a moderator? Finally, I love being able to contact my representatives, and have had both personal and automated replies dependent upon the thoughtfulness of the message and the representative. However, see my first comment for the accuracy of this information..SecondActDivaVersion: 5.0.1

✓ I expected betterIn theory I this Love the app I love getting updates when my rep votes I love getting to follow bills through Congress I like the concept The problem is that the app has a clear agenda... and this is coming from a liberal.. Part of that has to do with the user base being left leaning- i first heard of the app through vox so what can you do But sometimes I think they deliberately suppress poll results- I don’t think the manipulate the tallies but it seems like every time a vote on an issue where perhaps the result are unfavorable to a particular brand of retail democratic politics The polling outcome just aren’t provided. Not only that but it often seems like the order in which comments presented doesn’t reflect the amount of likes Not only that but the inability to dislike or make comments limits dialogue which is kinda sad really The community is great Even if JJs still posting I know my senator isn’t reading all my posts But really feel like not implementing a reply option is a huge missed opportunity Be better Irma 2019 😉.JimvishesVersion: 5.1

✓ Dangerous UsersI am deleting this app. I have tried to contact them to report this one user who is constantly writing about “taking” care of these people himself. But can never get the right area or get no response from them. This started out great, but with no policing of its users it is now just scary. Person goes by J or JJ Thank you for taking care of that one person. Please tell me how you have made it easier for users to instantly report this kind of behavior. Until you make the app easier to report, rather than having to go here in the app ratings, it’s still not working properly as a safe place to view what is happening in government and other peoples views on it..Tester71508Version: 4.3.1

✓ Good App Biased ContentI wanted to give this app a 5 Star but I’m giving it a 3. Why? Because, though I initially enjoyed the easy access of communication to my Representatives and being able to formulate a good sense of the political environment and test my political opinions against others in a non confrontational way, I can’t say in any way, that the content and published articles are portrayed in a subjective or unbiased manner. They don’t even try. If you hate Trump, America, and conservatives, you will find a nice safe space for your outrage. For everyone else it’s been a frustrating experience, not because there are people that disagree with you, but because the platform is stacked totally one-sided and that is not effective measure to bring people together..CaptainbinkmanVersion: 4.3.1

✓ Pretty GoodI like the Countable app. I like that info is in given in laymen's terms, so individuals don't have to slog through legal-ese to try and figure it out. I like that info seems to be straightforward though sometimes there seems to be a bias. Sometimes something may have a liberal slant, but I have learned how to address and work through it. I know what I believe and stand firm and won't be swayed by a liberal agenda. Countable needs to make unbiased info and straightforward facts a goal. I have received a great number of responses from my senators. While the response is appreciated, some seem 'canned.' A few responses seem personal. I understand they get a lot of correspondence, but when the response is canned; it seems to lose effectiveness and meaning for me. How my senators interact with me and how serious they consider what I say does matter when it comes to the next election. I am glad Countable has made it possible that attacks are not possible among those of us who post reviews. Of course, it might be interesting to have a dislike option on responses as well. I'm inclined to think many polls are biased and ineffective, so some calculations of the 'like' and if a 'dislike' option is added might yield interesting results and perspective as well..CarinaDanielVersion: 5.0

✓ Annoying bugs and left-wing biasI like being able to comment and share my opinion, but the system is incredibly frustrating because if you press post by accident before you’re done typing, you CANNOT edit it to complete your thought, so you end up looking like an idiot. Made a typo? Forget about it, that’s a permanent mistake. There’s no way to contact the support team directly, so hopefully they will see this and fix that problem. Also, for each bill that users get to vote on, the app includes one paragraph on “reasons to vote for,” and “reasons to vote against,” and I noticed that the write ups usually give good points for the left leaning vote, and neglect important points that would bolster the right-leaning vote..Haha_renny_dixVersion: 5.1

✓ App uses you name illegally!!I have found this app using my name and sending total lies in the form of emails to important people like my Senators or Representatives using my name even though I never did it or authorized it!!! Total lies made up by someone using my name and email address! I think this is illegal and I’m looking into this as it should be illegal as false representation. I hope someone goes to jail for using my name and spouting false belief about me. It’s despicable!!! In addition to the above, this statement in the section that they talk about security and the use of your information, it says this: “We never share your address without your permission.” So how come when they take your information and pretend it’s you when they send an email to your Senator or Congressman trying to convince them to vote a certain way - all the time pretending you are one of their constituents!! How is that not sharing your information!! They’re a bunch of Liers and deserve to be prosecuted for stating something that is false. If I had just added this App to my phone, I would delete it immediately..Tom301dVersion: 5.1

✓ Countable?Why doesn’t this app show the tally of those who agree or disagree with an issue?? It’s called countable but it doesn’t count. Truth is - a tally would show that most legislation that passes through the house & Senate is not widely supported by voters (as determined by countable). An earlier version of this app did provide the tally and it was removed!! Why?? Yet another inconvenient truth. DC does not represent the interests of constituents. Period. I just rechecked the app and now it no longer lists the members of Congress and their contact information. Who is Washington decided to remove this feature. No the app is useless. Who are the developers & where is the accountability? Scam..Scasey1960Version: 5.7
