Description
Search the United States Government checkbook since the year 2000: contracts, grants, loans, direct payments, and farm subsidies.
The app also contains seven year salary histories and bonuses for 2.2 million disclosed federal employees, state checkbooks in at least 16 states, and public salaries from 36,000 local units of government across America.
Hyper-localize all federal spending by using your current GPS location, setting a custom location by zip code, or search by a vendor name or employee's last name.
See state checkbook spending: 1. choose a target state on the ‘state checkbook fly wheel’ of the app; 2. if you live ‘out-of-state,’ then change your location by keying any ZIP code within the target state.
See salaries from 36,000 units of local government across America by your current location (as determined by GPS) or keying in a ZIP code.

Ratings and Reviews
Works, but outdated
This app provides good information at the federal level, but fails to provide anything at the lower level. It could also use an update to the look and feel of it.
Excellent on iPad Air
This app offers terrific information on Government salaries and project spending on federal and state levels. Current information is limited to 19 states but hopefully other states will feel the pressure to open up their books. Kudos!
So much missing
As another reviewer noted, maybe things are good at the federal level but sooooo much is missing at the state level and it’s info that is definitely available online. I hoped this would be a nice, one-stop shop, but it falls far short.
