How Countable works?
Countable covers US federal legislation with state and local legislation in the works. Here you can find every bill that matters with a succinct write up. If it’s coming up for a vote, in the news, or controversial – it will be on Countable. This includes: Senate and House Bills, Senate and House simple resolutions, Conference Resolutions, and Joint resolutions. Organization and politicians use Countable to build support for their positions, expand their membership and drive donations.

H70%
by H####:

This would be a fantastic app if it actually worked. I haven't been able to get passed login for sometime now. Still, I get popup notifications saying my rep just voted. I'd love to see what he voted for or against through the app, but I can't even login. When I first installed it, though, sometime after the 2016 election, it worked great!

Y70%
by Y####:

The idea of this app is so great, and when I first got it I used it often. Then after about a month it simply stopped working. Every time i tried to connect it would tell me there was a problem and I should try again later, or it couldn't connect, or it would simply being up a blank page, etc. It's incredibly annoying and frustrating. A real shame that it's so poorly executed, because it was very helpful and valuable to me for the time it worked.

Y70%
by Y####:

The concept is great, but there is no way to look in to my account. The app just locked me out with no way to reset it. Seems to be a common problem

V70%
by V####:

I used to use and love this app to help keep me informed and involved with my government, but I can't log in anymore and keep getting an error message: "Something went wrong. Please check your internet connection, or try again later." This is the only app that this happens with; please fix this issue! Thanks!

Y70%
by Y####:

So aparently my old account is both listed as nonexistent and still there. Can't reclaim it so just made a new one with different email. It seems to be working and found my old account to copy all my past votes. Still sucks that it was the only way back in though.

U70%
by U####:

So far, really like this app for keeping up with the bills that are about to go up for a vote. Like that I'm able to share my opinion and its sent to my congressperson.

T70%
by T####:

To improve this app and responses, the yea and nay arguments should be seen before the comments by other users.

Y70%
by Y####:

I this this app is great and haven't had any problems with it functioning so far, but I would really like it if it had all the same info about reps and bills at the state level, too!

Q70%
by Q####:

Had to uninstall it. I deselected all notifications, and all of a sudden, it's blowing up with notifications, with no way to turn them off.

P70%
by P####:

This app is funny. It is full of Dummycrats. Conservative republicans needs to done load this and debate these libtards.

Y70%
by Y####:

Cannot proceed beyond the address search. I enter my address, but the app simply requests it again. Please sort this out.

Y70%
by Y####:

Downloaded it twice and it won't let me log in. Says my network is down. It's not. Everything else is working.

Y70%
by Y####:

User interface is busy and unintuitive.

Y70%
by Y####:

Awesome app to follow your federal representatives. Now I want one for my state legislators.

E70%
by E####:

The concept of this app is amazing but I can't get past the log in page. Until that's resolved it deserves zero stars. Even after the developer responded to my review the same issue persist. Even sent an email to try to get some one on one help... Never received a response

I70%
by I####:

I love this app, being able to message my reps directly from it has caused me to write many messages a day to cuss out my reps. And you can too! If they fix the loop where your address is requested over and over and over anyway... Right now it's unusable and I'm super bummed about that. Please fix it. This is such a rad tool.

Y70%
by Y####:

This is an amazing app... When it's working. Over the past several versions its alternated between working and not working due to a login issue. They need to finally fix this problem once and for all due to login being just a little bit fundamental to its use. Also, thier support did not respond when emailed about the issue. Again. Great idea. Very useful when working. I hope you guys fix this issue permanently.

O70%
by O####:

I loved the in the beginning but now it's asking for address info to give me more happenings for my District but it won't take my address so I'm getting nothing. Very disappointing

Y70%
by Y####:

Great idea! After getting log in issue resolved I love the app, no the company just needs to get rid of the negative reviews in here so it'll be in high 4 stars so more people will use it in the country and will have more of an impact. But great App download it now if you want to make your country better.

R70%
by R####:

I love the idea of this app. When I originally downloaded it everything was working fine and I was able to get involved more, but now I can't seem to get passed a certain page. It keeps asking me for an updated email address, but it won't submit it. I would love to still use this app, so please let me know if this gets resolved!

I70%
by I####:

I would love it if there was an option to follow specific bills (and get optional notifications) so you knew where they are at in the lifecycle, and who will be voting on it next, and how all the votes turned out.

Z70%
by Z####:

I could even sign up via email. It said an error occurred try again or use Facebook. I don't wanna use Facebook.

Y70%
by Y####:

I used to log in all the time, but with this new update, half of the text is cut off. "Log in" is now "Log", "E-mail" is "E-" and "Password" is "Pass-". It makes me hesitate to use it.

M70%
by M####:

I like the idea, but I am uninstalling due to partisan content.

Y70%

Not willing to create yet another log in.

Y70%

Consistent log on issues. It will not allow me to log on.

K70%

I can never log in.

Y70%

I can't enter my address. Please fix and I'll reassess my review.

Y70%
by Y####:

Developers are seriously partisan, which limits the effectiveness of the app. How partisan? They vote for me!

A70%
by A####:

Great app. Empower the people to hold their representative to account.

Y70%
by Y####:

Too hard to log in

Y70%
by Y####:

A great news app! Straight forward news stories, bill synopsis, ability to select issues to receive notifications of up coming votes/how my legislators vote, a forum for engagement with others & legislators, and more.

Y70%
by Y####:

Was a great app at first you could get opinions from both sides of the aisle, but recently it has become overrun with far left wing people crying about wanting to impeach trump

Y70%
by Y####:

It's a wonderful app for experiencing multiple viewpoints, seeing what the newest political controversy is, and (of course) holding the government accountable.

A70%
by A####:

Log in problems. When I go to login with Facebook all I get is a blank white screen.

L70%
by L####:

Suddenly they've dropped the feature that shows how your representative voted making the app all but useless.

Y70%
by Y####:

Stopped working. Very unfortunate, I used to love this app.

C70%
by C####:

Very relevant concise info. Easy way to keep government accountable.

Y70%
by Y####:

I can't log in. Screen goes white.

P70%
by P####:

I downloaded the app, it seems like a great idea, but it only allows me to get to the input your address function. Then it just saves my address over and over and it won't let me get past that part. I uninstalled and reinstalled but same problem happened. It sure would be nice if the app started working.
