[Top Ten] Get to know the politicians
The app is well-categorized into four sections, including truth-o-meter, promises, trends and stories, users can easily browse the updated political affairs and get to know the statement of politicians. The truth-index allows users to evaluate the performance of politicians. I think the app is a good reference for citizen monitoring the government and Congress, however, it would be much more appealing if the app is free.
