Ratings and Reviews
Good news source, amateurish app
Roll Call is a great way to track news about the U.S. Congress and other branches of federal government. But the app looks and feels like the result of a high school coding assignment. Headlines and captions are routinely truncated, with no way to get the missing text. The top story is promoted with an annoying popup that frequently contains a picture and NO text. (I have yet to see it display a complete headline.) Photos and graphics are dumped into articles without scaling, so you only see about 10% of the whole thing. This might be amusing if the app had been designed as a guessing game. But in a news app — where the unscaled images mean lots of scrolling to get to the rest of the article — it's the opposite of amusing. Stick to the website.
Great App fo Political Junkies
There's nothing quite like Roll Call, the grand-daddy of the Capitol Hill papers. There's more than enough news here to satisfy the most demanding political junkie's craving.
And you CAN remove the badges--I just did! All you have to do is go to the Settings--know what they are? And you can toggle on or off both the app badge and the section badges. You can also set how long the articles remain available.
Lousy
• Can’t copy story excerpts from within the app
• Attempts to send stories via SMS or email causes freeze-up
• Attempts to communicate with developer met with unresponsiveness
• Images with stories improperly oversized
• App is now completely dead, i.e., does not update w new stories.
