Pillars has been amazing to use to keep up with US politics. The app is executing perfectly what it is advertised to do - Deliver non-biased political information in an easy to digest manner. I love the interface and the fact that I can choose what politicians and bills to closely follow. I even was able to easily access resources to get me registered to vote for the upcoming primary as well. Overall, great app and I will be using daily moving forward!
Simple & effective

I’m thrilled to say this app is very beneficial to individuals who aren’t involved in politics already. I am one of those individuals that isn’t heavily involved in politics so having an app that simplifies large confusing documents into a clear explanation is game changer. I highly recommend anyone who is getting started in politics to utilize this app. This app isn’t just good for beginners but also is great for individuals who have been following politics for quite some time.

I recently saw a local news story about a college student who created this app. It caught my attention, so I downloaded it to see what it was all about—and I’m genuinely impressed.If you’re looking for a straightforward way to become a more informed voter, I highly recommend checking it out. The app presents information in a transparent, easy-to-understand format and also links directly to your state’s Board of Elections, making it convenient to:• Update your name or address• Request an absentee ballot (where available)• Find your polling location• Access other important voting resourcesIt’s essentially a one-stop convenience app for voting information and election resources.Do yourself a favor and take a few minutes to check it out. An informed voter is an empowered voter.
Makes it all easy.

One of the things I get confused about is politics. Relying on the media/online articles can twist your entire mindset when it comes down to your political views. This app streamlines it all, once you sign up and enter a little bit of information you can see your local, state, district representative’s all at once. This app even makes sense of state and national laws, executive orders and can help you make sense of political news.
